 France Marguerite Ellegaard (1913-1999) was born in Paris. Both of her parents were Danish. Her father, Thorvald Ellegaard, was a world-famous cyclist. At the age of nine France Ellegaard began her studies at the Ecole de Musique Nérini. Continuing her education, she entered the Paris Conservatoire, earning many medals, prizes, and distinctions. She studied with Santiago Riéra, a student of Georges Amadée Mathias, who studied with Chopin. At fifteen she made her début in Copenhagen, and in 1929 she performed with the Lamoureux Orchestra, conducted by Albert Wolff, in the rarely heard Rimsky-Korsakov Piano Concerto. Her busy concert schedule included countless performances in all musical capitals of Europe and in major cities of Scandinavia. She also played in Ireland and England. During the war Denmark had an active embassy in Berlin. As an occupied country, Denmark had to collaborate in cultural activities in Germany, and France Ellegaard consequently performed in Berlin in 1942 and 1943. She also made recordings at that time for Polydor. On 1 October 1943 she was granted permission by the occupying power to go to Sweden. She remained there for the rest of the war as a political refugee. After the war she was branded as pro-German, and unwelcome in Denmark. As a result of this she remained in Sweden for the next several years. Another artist who was also in Sweden at the time was Annie Fischer. The two women often saw each other, and gave several duo recitals together. In 1948 Ellegaard met the Finnish artist, Birger Carlstedt, and they married in 1949. She became a naturalised Finn that year, and resumed her concert career. She taught at the Sibelius Academy from 1964 to 1975. Her last public appearance was in 1982. She died in Finland. French composers always occupied a prominent place in her recitals, although she recorded very few of these works.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Fair, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to F), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Pls check my other auctions for more great records and phonograph items:

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless another service is requested. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.50 – 5.00$

2 records: 5.75$

5 records: 7.50$

10 records: 9.50$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 30$.

Please send me a message if you would like to lower your shipping rates!

International Buyers:
