redgarnett Store ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This beautiful and extraordinarily rare semi-private LP issue (XPARTX 63.353/4, French pressing, green/silver label, stereo) features French pianist Simone Girard-Lamé in an all-Liszt recital recorded in 1969. Girard- Lamé (1895-1985) was a friend of Francis Poulenc and Pierre Bernac and also served as President of la Société Avignonnaise de Concerts.
The exact program is as follows, all works by Franz Liszt:
Les jeux d’eaux de la Villa d’Este, from Années de pèlerinage: Italie
Un sospiro (Caprice poétique No. 3)
Au lac de Wallenstadt, from Années de pèlerinage: Suisse
Napoli, , from Années de pèlerinage: Italie
Consolation No. 3
La leggierezza (Caprice poétique No. 2)
Incidentally, the striking cover photo, entitled “Ville d’Este – l’orgue hydralique” is credited to Boulot-Lamotte. The reverse side of the jacket carries a track listing and a dedication by the artist, but no biographical or other musical information.
CONDITION:
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 ringwear and discoloration to the rear panel, as well as minor wear at corners, but that is all. There are no seamsplits, bends, owners' markings, or other defects, and the album remains solid, bright, glossy, and highly attractive – overall, a very good collector’s copy.
The condition of the LP itself is near-MINT. Though the surfaces are not perfectly silent (and thus I have rated it NM vs. MINT) this is a fine copy and playback is superb. If you must have perfect surfaces, then please do not buy this LP. Overall, this rates as a NM collector's copy.
