redgarnett Store ITEM DESCRIPTION:

This very rare 10" LP from Lumen (LD-2-350-S, French pressing, blue label, mono – no stereo edition exists) features the enigmatic pianist Alexander Sellier in a sublime account of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 13 in C Major K. 415, recorded with conductor Karl Ristenpart and l’Orchestre de Chambre de la Sarre circa 1955.

Sellier has long been known to connoisseurs – hopefully his remarkable artistry will become more widely known via some enterprising independent label. This is exalted playing by any measure, a landmark in the Mozart discography.

The reverse side of the jacket carries very insightful liner notes by Carl de Nys – printed in French only. The striking cover design is uncredited.

CONDITION – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.

The condition of the jacket is VERY GOOD-. There is edgewear, light ringwear, creasing, and discoloration, more so to the rear panel. However, there are no seamsplits, bends, owners' markings, or other defects, and the album remains solid, bright, and presentation worthy – overall, a very good collector's copy.

The condition of the LP itself is EXCELLENT. Though there is occasional light surface noise, in general the playback remains quite fine. However, those wanting a flawless or near-MINT copy are kindly advised to look elsewhere. Overall, this rates as an excellent collector's copy.
