Description
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This very rare LP from Akkord (D 05108-0109, pre-Melodiya Soviet pressing, GOST-61, yellow Akkord label, mono) features legendary pianist Samuel Feinberg in deeply expressive and relevatory performances of 8 Preludes & Fugues from Book II of J.S. Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier BWV 870-893, recorded in Moscow during the years 1958-1960. This is visionary Bach playing that can be spoken of in the same breath as those traversals of the WTC by Richter, Gould, Tureck, et al. In some ways, Feinberg is really in a class of his own.
Included are the following works:
Prelude and Fugue No. 9 in E Major BWV 854
Prelude and Fugue No. 10 in E minor BWV 855
Prelude and Fugue No. 11 in F Major BWV 856
Prelude and Fugue No. 12 in F minor BWV 857
Prelude and Fugue No. 13 in F-sharp Major BWV 858
Prelude and Fugue No. 14 in F-sharp minor BWV 859
Prelude and Fugue No. 15 in G Major BWV 860
Prelude and Fugue No. 16 in G minor BWV 861
CONDITION – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the ‘softcover’ plain jacket is FAIR. There is a significant edgewear, bumping at corners, creasing, and a former price sticker to one side. However, there are no seamsplits and the jacket remains solid and presentation worthy – overall, still a decent copy.
The condition of the LP is VERY GOOD. Visually, there are no spindle trails, though there is a tiny bit of writing to both labels. There are also some hairline marks to the vinyl, though no serious scratches. In terms of sound, there is light surface noise, as well as some scattered tics. Nonetheless, the sound has great presence and the beautifully veiled sonority that was Feinberg’s own shine through. If you need a MINT or near-MINT copy, then please do not buy this LP. Overall, this is a good (and still more than enjoyable) collector’s copy.
