description:
Scarce 1960s lp with Jolivet conducting his own works, the highlight of which is the avant garde Ondes Martenot Concerto. The Martenot is an early electronic keyboard instrument with glissando and vibrato controls and a unique proto-synthesizer sonority and reverberation; it was invented in 1928 by Maurice Martenot with a design partly based on the Theremin, and has recently received renewed interest due to its use by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. Here the Martenot is played by Jeanne Loriod; its sound stays well in front and is not at all smothered by the orchestra. Lily Laskine plays harp in the other piece. Jolivet conducts the Orchestre Philharmonique De L'ORTF

Combine multiple items to save on shipping.

International Shipping Up to 2 12" records to Europe/UK/Scandinavia/Asia/Australia is $23.00 for USPS First Class Airmail with tracking, and roughly $10 for every 2 additional lps depending on weight (7" records will cost less; heavy box sets will cost more).

Combine multiple items to save on shipping; I can hold paid records to be combined with a future purchase if desired. Feel free to email with any shipping questions.

Packing I pack professionally and with the utmost care drawn from years of experience trading vinyl internationally. I use new record mailers from Cameron Packaging (which I have determined are the best and most protective) reinforced with cardboard inserts and bubble wrap padding. All records are shipped with poly plastic sleeves and with the vinyl outside of the cover to prevent damage. All packages are completely sealed with strong packing tape covering all openings. Unless requested, no paper invoice is included in the package, both to save trees and to avoid customs difficulties. If you'd like your package done any differently, just let me know.

Payment I accept Paypal (which allows for fastest possible shipment). Please email with any payment questions. If you are paying by Paypal and have won multiple items, please use a single Paypal payment. I will send an eBay invoice to winners shortly after my auctions close, and an email after payment has been received to confirm item shipment.
