Description
You are bidding on a true piece of Ballet and Art History, a Rare French Pressing LP of the ballet "Le Tricorne" (Three Cornered Hat) signed by Pablo Picasso. This record has remained in a private collection for many years. I have searched everywhere and have not been able to find another one like this. This will probably be your only chance to own this truly rare LP. The inscription " A mi admirable y buen Amigo Manuel de Falla - Picasso " (see picture for full inscription), appears to be a dedication to his deceased friend, for whom he had worked with early in his career. The record sleeve has visible ringwear as well as wear on the edges. Although it does not effect the beautiful pictures of the costumes from the ballet. There is a barely visable "x" in the upper right hand corner, as it is in a dark area of the record. Be sure to check out picture for full condition details. The record itself is in NM. This record is perfect for framing or just an amazing addition to any record collection. Shipping; is $5 + Insurance in the US.
History:
El Sombrero de Tres Picos
Sergei Diaghilev, of the Ballets Russes, saw the premiere of El Corregidor y la Molinera and commissioned de Falla to rewrite the ballet. The outcome was a two-act ballet scored for large orchestra called El Sombrero de Tres Picos or, The Three-Cornered Hat . El Sombrero de Tres Picos was first performed in London in 1919. Diaghilev asked de Falla to conduct the premiere but de Falla felt he was not experienced enough to conduct a work so complex. After the first rehearsal de Falla handed the baton over to Ernest Ansermet. Sets and costumes were done by Pablo Picasso and choreography by Léonide Massine.
