Description
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This beautiful 2LP box set – a super collector's copy – from Philps (6769 017, Dutch pressing, red/white labels, stereo, booklet included) features Arthur Grumiaux's sublime survey of Bach's 6 Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord BWV 1014-1019, warmly recorded at the Musica-Théâtre, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, during 18-23 February and on 30/31 August 1978. He is accompanied throughout by the splendid Christiane Jaccottet.
Included then are the following works of Bach:
Sonata for Violin and Harpsichord No. 1 in B minor BWV 1014
Sonata for Violin and Harpsichord No. 2 in A Major BWV 1015
Sonata for Violin and Harpsichord No. 3 in E Major BWV 1016
Sonata for Violin and Harpsichord No. 4 in C minor BWV 1017
Sonata for Violin and Harpsichord No. 5 in F minor BWV 1018
Sonata for Violin and Harpsichord No. 6 in G Major BWV 1019
This is truly exalted playing and all those who treasure the art of the violin, and/or the music of Bach, will find much to admire here.
Included is a full-size, 4-page booklet with extensive notes on the music by Lothar-Hoffmann-Erbrecht (provided in German, English, and French), as well photos of the two artists.
CONDITION:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the box is near-MINT. The only flaw concerns fading to the spine (the text is not easily legible), but that is all. There are no corner breaks, seamsplits, owners' markings, bends, or other defects and the whole remains solid, bright, glossy, and highly attractive – overall, a truly excellent collector's copy.
The condition of the full-size, 4-page, booklet is NM – a fine copy.
The condition of the 2 LPs is near-MINT throughout and playback is superb in both – overall, these rate as truly fine collector's copies.
