Third Tenebrae service for Wednesday of Holy Week
Tenebrae service for Wednesday of Holy Week
Responsibility:  Franc¸ois Couperin ; arr. A. Hoe´re´e.

Though he became more known for his longevity then his pioneering work on disc Cuenod was part of that generation of musicians to rediscover their musical heritage in the 1930s. Jane Evrard was one such pioneer, indeed she directs the 1936 Troisième Leçon of Couperin, though of course Nadia Boulanger’s Monteverdi discs (on which Cuenod sang) were very much better known internationally. Cuenod returned to Couperin after the war by recording the Première Leçon in Boston in 1950 and adding the Trois Chansons and the Audite Omnes et Expanescite.

The earlier recording under Evrard however represents real archaeology. Cuenod impresses with his characteristic high tenor – light, elegant, focused, and capable of mezza voce and half voice of great purity. It’s a voice well known and loved at Glyndebourne and to its agility we can add the quality of fine diction. The two-soprano vocalise in the Jad, Caph and Lamed is an exquisite feature of this performance – they’re unnamed choir members but sing with expressive purity – and throughout one senses Evrard’s control and the fresh sincerity of the music making.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the correct multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.75 – 5.50$

2 records: 6.50$

5 records: 8.00$

10 records: 12.00$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 35$.

Please send me a message if you would like to get an estimate for you shipping rates!

I am very happy to ship records worldwide.

Please use the EBAY shipping cost only as a guideline. My actual charges are usually lower

One record usually ships for 25$ for 10" 25-35$ for most 12" records (Less for Canada).

 As always, I would appreciate any suggestions and corrections from you, pls contact me with any question.

Thank you very much, and good luck bidding !!!
