A SUPERB COPY
Henri Koch (1903-69) was a distinguished Belgian violinist. He’s particularly remembered as a chamber player – he was part of the Quatuor de Liège, a leading group of inter-war period – but one who recorded sparsely. In fact he’s one of those rare musicians who has become known to us, on disc at least, almost (but not quite) as one-composer advocates. That composer was Lekeu. Koch recorded the Violin Sonata in the early 1930s on 78s with Charles van Lancker, and it saw good service on Polydor and Decca. His ensemble also recorded the unfinished Quartet in B minor on 78. He was an obvious choice therefore to reprise the sonata recording on LP, which he did, this time with André Dumortier, in 1956. There were other recordings by him, though not many. The major one was Jean Rogister’s Violin Concerto, which was dedicated to Koch. Rogister, and his brother Lido, were both members of the quartet in which Koch played. In a neat twist, Koch’s grandson, Philippe, has also recorded the Concerto.

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 Poor, 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 P), 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.
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 correct 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 you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.
I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials
As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.
If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.
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: 4.85 – 5.75$
2 records: 6.75$
5 records: 9.00$
10 records: 12.00$
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 35$.
Please send me a message if you would like to get an estimate for you shipping rates!
I am very happy to ship records worldwide.
Please use the EBAY shipping cost only as a guideline. My actual charges are usually lower
One record usually ships for 25$ for 10" 25-35$ for most 12" records (Less for Canada).
As always, I would appreciate any suggestions and corrections from you, pls contact me with any question.
Thank you very much, and good luck bidding !!!
