Description
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This rare LP – the jacket signed by Yehudi Menuhin – features a masterclass on Bach's Partita for Solo Violin No. 2 in D minor BWV 1004 that the great violinist gave at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, recorded "live" on 20 February 1958. It was produces for Arts & Audiences, Inc., New York City and the label carries the catalog number BC-13228.
Note: He does not give a full interrupted performance of the work, but does play many extracts.
The inscription to the front title sticker reads "Best wishes, Yehudi Menuhin".
He speaks at length, playing various sections, concentrating mostly on the Chaconne. It was well recorded and is voice comes through cleanly and clearly, without being balanced too closely, as is the case with the violin.
One hears a master musician imparting his extraordinary experience, teaching with great eloquence, thoughtfulness, humility and wit.
The album was produced by Nina Perera Collier, and was most likely produced for the alumni and students of Bryn Wawr College.

The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the jacket is VG. There is a 3" split to the spine, as well as some corner wear and discoloration.
The condition of the LP is EXCELLENT. Surfaces are not CD silent and if you must have flawless surfaces, then please do not buy this LP. Overall, this is a fine collector's copy.
