Description
PHILIPS MONO 1ST A 02205 L
ARTHUR GRUMIAUX
BACH
SONATAS AND PARTITAS FOR SOLO VIOLIN
SIGNED BY THE LEGENDARY BELGIAN VIOLINIST FOR THE LATE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE WONDERFUL CLASSICAL COLLECTION THAT I'M CURRENTLY LISTING.
PART OF A WONDERFUL CLASSICAL COLLECTION THAT I'LL BE LISTING OVER THE COMING MONTH.
FROM A SMOKE FREE HOME, AND ONLY PLAYED ON A SUPERB AND WELL CARED FOR LINN/NAIM SET-UP.
SLEEVE
NEAR MINT. BEAUTIFUL FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE, PRINTED IN HOLLAND (I BELIEVE THAT THIS RECORDING WAS ONLY A DUTCH ISSUE). ONLY POINT TO NOTE IS SOME SMALL STORAGE DISCOLOURATION TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SLEEVE. THE SLEEVE IS SIGNED BY GRUMIAUX, 'TO MR MORRIS SMITH. CORDIALLY, ARTHUR GRUMIAUX'. IT WAS SIGNED AT A LIVE CONCERT. AFTER DOING A LOT OF INVESTIGATION I CAN FIND NO OTHER EXAMPLES OF A SIGNED ALBUM HAVING BEEN SOLD, SO I'M GUESSING THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A PIECE OF VIOLIN HISTORY!
VINYL
THE MUSIC ITSELF IS WONDERFUL. THE PLAYBACK IS FINE, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY DUST TICS AND POPS - I GUESS FROM THE STORAGE MARKS. HAVING SAID THAT, FOR ME PERSONALLY (AND I'M FUSSY!), THE B/G IS NOT DISTRACTING FROM THE MUSIC. IN FACT THE PART ON SIDE TWO THAT I'M LISTENING TO AS I TYPE IS PRETTY CLEAR OF B/G. IT'S A LOVELY DYNAMIC RECORDING, BUT PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT THERE IS SOME B/G NOISE.
PLAY GRADED ON A LINN SONDEK LP12 WITH ITTOK LV II ARM AND LINN KLYDE CARTRIDGE. ALL GRADING AS PER RRPG GUIDELINES. RUN-INS AND SEVERAL LONG PASSAGES CAREFULLY PLAYED TO GRADE.
LABELS
EX. JUST A FEW FEINT SPINDLE MARKS. I'M GUESSING FROM THESE THAT THE RECORD HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED A HANDFUL OF TIMES.
