A series of great Violin, Piano and Orchestra records on rare labels, from 1902 Monarch to 1940 War Germany recordings.

Rare late recording by famous ROUMANIAN Composer, Violinist and conductor

Georges ENESCO Silvertone Record Club (I believe sold by Sears)

George Enescu
Silvertone Symphony Orchestra

Enregistré  1948

Editions originales
– 78t Silvertone Record Club 47 (Fauré et Ravel, ce dernier étant omis ici pour des raisons de droits)

Debussy: Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faun 1&2

 

These were later reissued on a Mercury LP

Comme le montrent les reproductions des étiquettes des disques Silvertone et Mercury, George Enescu a également enregistré la Pavane pour une infante défunte de Ravel lors de ces sessions ; je l'ai écartée ici pour des raisons de droits.

Si les talents de chef d'orchestre, ou de pianiste et violoniste, de George Enescu nous sont rapportés par nombre de ses contemporains, il nous reste peu de traces sonores acceptables de son art. Enescu n'a jamais été séduit par le disque en quoi il voyait un objet musical artificiel loin d'être capable de refléter sa lecture d'une partition, changeante et toujours modifiée par la magie de l'instant. Hélas, les quelques gravures qu'il nous laisse datent surtout de la dernière partie de sa vie et nous le font entendre dans des conditions sonores précaires (disques enregistrés à Bucarest pendant la guerre), handicapé par une technique fatiguée (ses enregistrements de violoniste pour Remington et Columbia avec Céliny Chailley-Richez), ou encore dirigeant des orchestres peu préparés (disques Remington et Silvertone). Je vous mets donc en garde : l'orchestre de studio qu'on découvre ici n'est pas un ensemble irréprochable...

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 !!!
