WANDA LANDOWSKA
''TWENTY SONATAS - DOMENICO SCARLATTI"
Extremely rare and near impossible to find,limited edition set of 6 HMV 78's: DB4960 - DB4965, published in September 1935,with autographed inner by Wanda Landowska and complete with original sleeve notes.
"This edition of twenty Sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, played by Wanda Landowska, is published in England by "His Master's Voice" to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the birth of the composer.The first 300 sets are autographed by the artist.This is Number 93".
These recordings,originally released as a limited edition of just 500 sets,are perhaps the highlight of Wanda Landowska's European recording career.Clearly she had a huge input in recording-she was,after all,one of the foremost experts in the field-and contributed not just performances,but made her own personal selection of pieces,and wrote the delightful sleeve notes.
