Description: VARIOUS ARTISTSThe Great Violinists: Recordings from 1900-1913 UK import Two (2) Compact Disc (2 CD) set. Testament Records SBT2 1323. Mono. CASE & INSERTS: VG++. DISCS: NM- Recorded 1900-1913: Joseph Joachim; Eugène Ysaye; Pablo de Sarasate; Stanislaw Barcewicz; Bernhard Dessau; Paul Viardot; Arnold Rosé; Henri Marteau; Fritz Kreisler; Jan Kubelík; Willy Burmester; Jacques Thibaud; Marie Hall; Franz von Vécsey; Joseph Szigeti; Karol Gregorowicz. This amazing collection of early violinists comes from the dawn of recorded history. Some, like the headliners mentioned in the artist listing, may be still well remembered (all three were also fine composers). Some are extremely obscure. But anyone seriously interested in the history of the violin will want to hear this collection. Joachim, who inspired Brahms and other composers, was a faded performer by 1903, but a powerful personality still comes through. Sarasate, still in his prime in the same year, is simply one of the most impressive violin virtuosi who ever recorded. Both musicians' recordings are presented complete. Others in the collection include Kreisler, Thibaud, Kubelik, Szigeti (very early, in uncharacteristic dazzling performances of Hungarian showpieces), and many lesser celebrities, most impressive among them Franz von Vécsey. Although there are similar collections available, the sound quality on this set makes it far preferable to the others. You can actually hear what is going on clearly, with minimal surface noise, even in the 1900 sides! Tully Potter's intelligent program notes are another worthwhile bonus. --Leslie Gerber The Testament label has made an epic effort, just imagine what it means to listen these colossus of the instrument like Joachim, Ysaye (an intimate musical partner of Pablo Casals) , the legendary Don Pablo de Sarasate (to whom Eduard Lalo dedicated his world famous Spanish Fantasy), Fritz Kresler, Enseco and Wienawski. And despite the dim acoustic of these times, the presence of these giants should justify the listening. *** (Please see photos for complete track listing) *** *** Please be advised that the USPS is providing slower delivery service for the foreseeable future, so delays are common.

Grading is visual only unless otherwise stated. I go by Goldmine standards and try to be conservative. I will play grade on certain items only - it is just impossible for me to play grade everything I put on EBAY. MINT means factory sealed, never opened or played. NM is opened but in visually brand new, out-of-the-packaging clean condition. NM- is not NM! Its a grade above VG++ and below Near Mint - it does not imply perfect. In my terminology Scratches are feeler type and Scuffs are just cosmetic and usually inaudible. DISCLAIMER. Due to the number of frivolous returns which were unwarranted, and due to the nature of sound recorded products that can be easily copied, there will no longer be a free return policy. I will charge a $10.00 return fee for all returns - this amount will be deducted from the Paypal refund of the returned item. If item is truly defective the entire purchase amount will be refunded as long as the item is in the same condition as it was sent. ***BUYER PAYS FOR ALL RETURN SHIPPING FEES.*** ATTENTION!!
