redgarnett Store ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This lovely 2LP box set – a still-sealed copy – from Archiv / Deutsche Grammophon (2708 032, German pressing, label iteration unknown – presumably silver/blue labels, stereo, full-size booklet included) features Eduard Melkus's radiantly pure accounts of Bach's Six Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord BWV 1014-1019, recorded with Huguett Dreyfus.
These are supremely eloquent and deeply felt performances that can easily be spoken in of in the same breath as those of Grumiaux, Oistrakh, Menuhin, Schneiderhan, Szeryng, et al.
The work timings are as follows:
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
Melkus was a remarkable Bach player and the choice of Dreyfus as accompanist was an inspired one, for the latter's command of this repertoire is beyond praise. Together they make a formidable duo, one recorded in Archiv / DG's finest analog quality sound – treasurable from first bar to last.
CONDITION:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the still-sealed box is near-MINT. Really, there are no flaws to speak of and the box appears as new – overall, this rates as an outstanding collector’s copy.
The condition of the 2 LPs is MINT throughout. These are unplayed, pristine LPs – ideal collector's copies.
