AWESOME:
Auger - CHOPIN PIANO –
Rca Direct-to-Disc RDCE-7 Gatefold –
Japan Victor Pressing

Among the very best piano records on the planet, this is Hiroshi Isaka’s production of Edward Auger’s CHOPIN, recorded and cut direct-to-disc at Japan Victor.

It’s a doozy, let me tell you. The Steinway, for all intents and purposes, is sitting right there before you in your listening room. And that’s not a fluke, as Isaka produced the heralded Kamiya Beethoven LP. So he knows how to capture an acoustic for the very finest listener.

Stunning audio captures, of SCHERZO No. 2 and PIANO SONATA No. 3, find you somewhere other than your listening room, as Iruma City Auditorium, in Saitama, Japan establishes its rightful place, transforming your listening room, altogether.

A worthy investment for the very finest vinyl library, this copy is like new in all ways. Near mint, perhaps better in playback. (Note a small punch hole.)

In the top 25 records of all time, in my view.

For other fine records, TAS picks and hard-to-finds, please see my complete list of offerings here on eBay.

Shipping and handling is $5 for up to 5 LPs shipped within the States. Internationally, $14 via airmail for the first LP, $3 each thereafter. (Canada is half that.) Boxes over 4 lbs., add another $3, because First Class is no longer available at that weight, just Priority Mail. Note, too, boxed sets of LPs require more postage.
