Description
One of a handful of violin cello & Chamber rarities we have just had in, see our me page for more.
KV 301 & 304 with a 1950 copy of a Mozart era Fortepiano, quite possibly making this the first period performance of Mozart to ever reach vinyl. Note how the primitive sleeve art predates the Mozart Jubilee issues of 1956. Super rare 1st anywhere Philips 10" original pressing, in clean condition.
"De Klijn and Heksch first saw what was then called the ‘Mozart piano’, made by Johann Andreas Stein, in 1950. They asked for a copy and first performed with this fortepiano in October 1950. The following year they made the first of their Mozart sonata recordings, followed by more in 1953. the Amsterdam Duo’s priorities are more in the other direction. Their give-and-take is exceptionally fine, and the fortepiano was well balanced against de Klijn’s fiddle, albeit it seems to have been the case that the engineers put him quite close up against the microphone. In short, the Amsterdam Duo’s performances are attractive and sensitive. Slow movements are slow, measured, and affectionate."1st Holland pressing of a mint minus record in a mint minus sleeve plays excellent with a mono cart, as you would expect for the very early age, light surface noise. When we post this to you, it will be housed in a new poly outer - we also pack in hard card custom made new boxes.
