A series of great   records from Classical to Jazz

One of only two sets issued on the British Broadcast 12

next to the Maurice Cole recording of the Grieg Concerto this is the only other classical set issued on Broadcast 12

Played by the Matthay pupil Reginald Paul

Camille SAINT-SAËNS (1835-1921)
Piano Concerto No.2 in G minor Op. 22 (1868) [22:15]
Reginald Paul (piano)
Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra/Stanley Chapple
rec. Stoll Theatre, London early 1930

Alan Bush, who was at college with him, always maintained that Paul was the best sight-reader he’d ever met. That’s not necessarily a qualification for pianistic status but Paul was undoubtedly a fine chamber player and later an equally fine teacher. Born in London in 1894 he was a Matthay pupil at the Royal Academy and later formed a duo with violinist Harold Fielding, who’d taken lessons with Sammons and was later a well-known music promoter. Paul founded the London Pianoforte Quartet in 1932 a group that contained the core of the Stratton Quartet (George Stratton, Watson Forbes and John Moore). He taught at his old college for many years. Yet he didn’t record heavily and this makes this 1930 traversal all the more valuable as a document of his playing in its youthful prime.
 
Recorded for Broadcast in 1930 this performance of the Saint-Saens G minor concerto was the first electric set to be issued.

3x10" 78 rpm records

Condition:

EXCELLENT  minus unworn light scuffs, tiny rim chip on 2 nap, plays quiet w light crackle, side 1 has a slight swish, different from other Broadcast 12 recordings, this has a good balanced sound

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Fair, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to F), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Pls check my other auctions for more great records and phonograph items:

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless another service is requested. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.50 – 5.00$

2 records: 5.75$

5 records: 7.50$

10 records: 9.50$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 30$.

Please send me a message if you would like to lower your shipping rates!

International Buyers:

All'attenzione degli acquirenti italiani:
