Description
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This handsome and extremely rare LP from Cetra (LPS 20, Italian pressing, black/silver label – ED1, stereo, laminated flipback jacket) features violinist Salvatore Accardo and pianist Ludovico Lessona’s brilliant accounts of Beethoven’s Violin Sonatas No. 1 in D Major Op. 12 No. 1 and No. 9 in A Major Op. 47 “Kreutzer”, both made in 1969, recordings that truly deserve to be far better known.
Accardo brings his customary probing musicianship and unfailing technical command to both works, and he is provided supremely eloquent accompaniment by the under-rated Lessona.
Incidentally, there are eloquent liner notes on the reverse side of the jacket by Massimo Mila, printed in both Italian and English.
CONDITION – PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the jacket is EXCELLENT+. There is a slight bend/crease to the lower-left corner, but really that is all. However, there are no seamsplits, bends, owners' markings, or other defects and the whole remains solid, bright, and attractive in appearance – overall, a very fine collector's copy.
The condition of the LP itself is VERY GOOD. Were it not for a single bad tic early in the First Movement of the “Kreutzer”, this would rate as NM. But there is one loud tic followed by 3 soft ones. The rest of the LP plays just fine. Thus, if you require flawless or NM surfaces throughout, then please do not buy this LP. Overall, due to that strong tic, this rates as VG.
