Mark Levinson Records - Bach THE ART OF THE FUGUE - Deluxe Slipcase 4LPs Box - MAL5 - Superb!
Make no mistake, this is the grail, the sword from the stone, or, as an audiophile friend of mine likes to deem it, "The Big Ma-Moo."
But, this boxed set needs no introduction to the music lovers and audiophiles who will be bidding here. Suffice it to say that it is one of a handful of very well-respected records that came out of the high-end audiophile launch in the U.S. during the early to late '70s. Fact is, to say Mr. Levinson is among this elite corps is to misunderstand that, in fact, he led the way. From setting up the mics right on through to pressing this record, every level of care was taken. The result, in your living room, will quite astound you. (Be sure to get the volume right, please, not hesitating at all to achieve in-your-room performance size.)
Be aware, please, that this stellar copy of THE ART OF THE FUGUE, the entire Bach work as played at Yale by Charles Krigbaum, is the original grey-label version, pressed in France, and is in tip-top shape. The deluxe, clothbound slipcase has a touch of shelf wear (nothing serious) and a bit of yellowing up top, fore and aft; again, an aged look for this classic set, released some 30 years ago. More importantly, the four records within are all ashine and will play wonderfully, near mint and better.
Not to be missed. A treasure within vinyl repertory, to be sure, and one of only a handful of records on the planet that can be called the very best.
