Description
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This outstanding LP from Odeon (XOC 125, French pressing, brown/yellow label, mono – no stereo edition exists) features the great Henryk Szeryng in magnificent accounts of Bach’s Partita for Solo Violin No. 1 in B minor BWV 1002 and the Sonata for Solo Violin No. 1 in G minor BWV 1001, from his first integral cycle recorded in Paris during December 1952. Were these the only recordings Szeryng made, they would have sealed his reputation as one of the finest violinists of the last century – truly, these are landmarks in the Bach discography.
Szeryng's unfailingly beautiful tone and purity of intonation is allied to a supreme sense of architecture and a penetrating imagination. Even if you have another favorite set, there are so many felicitous touches and moments of insight throughout Szeryng's cycle that it stands as one of the most majestic and highly individual accounts ever recorded – a landmark in these works' discographies. Moreover, he is given superbly realistic and warm sound.
CONDITION:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the laminated flipback jacket is VERY GOOD. There is a minor bend to the upper-left corner, bumping at the other corners, some creasing, a small bit of writing to the rear panel, and mild shelfwear/ringwear. However, there are no seamsplits, owners' markings, or other defects and the album remains solid, bright, glossy, and attractive in appearance – overall, a very good collector's copy.
The condition of the LP itself is EXCELLENT. Although the surfaces are not absolutely silent, really this is a very fine copy and the playback is superb. Those requiring CD silent surfaces are kindly advised to look elsewhere. Overall, this rates as an excellent collector's copy.
