PLAYED BY FEODOR STEPANOV OF THE IMPERIAL TEATHER MARIINSKY

VERY LIGHT GREYING

CONDITION : E –

Born in St. Petersburg on 23rd August 1866, Stepanov was a pupil of Theodor Waterstraat at the conservatory there. In 1892 he was the first Russian flautist to gain an appointment in the Imperial Theatre Orchestra after having gained some experience in the orchestra of the Russian Musical Society. He taught at the Pavlovsk Military School and later became the first Russian professor to teach the Boehm system flute at the St. Petersburg Conservatory.

In 1900 and 1906 he made early gramophone records In 1907 he left the theatre orchestra through illness but continued to teach. He died in St. Petersburg on 4th July 1914.

Please note that to grade the records I play them on a gramophone.

A Monach junior for steel needle or a Pathe 30 for Diamond stylus.

If you play those records on 78rpm modern turntables you could found some defects not audible with original gramophones.

4 $ on shipping cost is NOT the right cost.

Please wait my invoice before make the payment.

Shipping cost increase a lot. As you know, I’m first of all a collector, so I’m sensible about this problem. So, from now, for those bidders win only one record, I offer to hold the record for future winning auctions.

Bidder will pay only the record.

E + + A near mint copy.

E + A choice copy no wear whatsoever.

E Excellent. Virtually no trace of groove wear with only minimal traces of use and handling.

E – An above average record .

E = Record with slight degree if groove wear, but not enough to seriously detract from its audio quality.

V + + Obviously well played but still enjoyable. Noticeable greying in the grooves

V + Very well worn but listenable Expect the surface noise to be significant. There may be stressed grooves.

V Stressed grooves more pronounced.

As you know I’m a collector and on Ebay I try to list records that I could be satisfied if I was the buyer.

I try to be conservative on grading and list some important and also unknown Italian singers.
