ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This fascinating LP – rare in stereo – from Alpha (DB 143 C, pressed in Belgium, white/blue label, stereo) entitled "Quatre joyaux de la musique italienne pour cordes" features the great Lola Bobesco leading Les Solistes de Bruxelles in an all-Baroque program, first issued on LP in 1967 and brought off with stunning elan and unfailing charm.
The exact contents are as follows:
Giovanni Battista Sammartini: Sinfonia in G Major
Archangelo Corelli: Sarabande · Gigue · Badinerie
Carlo Riccioti (Giovanni Battista Pergolesi): Concertino No. 2 in G Major
Antonio Vivaldi: Overture de l'Opéra l'Olympiade (allegro · andante · allegro molto)
Any Bobesco recording is to be treasured and this is no exception; indeed, it's exceptional!
On the reverse side of the jacket is provided a biographical sketch of Les Solistes de Bruxelles, as well as some press reviews of their performances – all printed in French only. The front cover photo is uncredited.
CONDITION:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the jacket is VERY GOOD. There is bumping/wear at corners and discoloration, particularly to the rear panel. However, there are no seamsplits, owners' markings, bends, or other defects, and the album remains solid and presentation worth – overall, this rates as a very good collector's copy.
The condition of the LP itself is EXCELLENT. Although the surfaces are not absolutely silent, this is a fine copy and the playback is quite superb. Those requiring flawless or NM surfaces are kindly advised to look elsewhere. Overall, this rates as an excellent collector's copy.
