redgarnett Store ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This beautiful LP from Vox (PL 10.790, US pressing, black/silver microgroove label, mono) features Gaspar Cassadó's magnificent performances of 3 cello concertos – one each by the composers Antonio Vivaldi, Luigi Boccherini, and Joseph Haydn, recorded during 11-13 September 1957 with conductor Jonel Perlea and the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra.
The exact contents are as follows:
Vivaldi (arr. Cassado): Cello Concerto in E minor RV 409
(Note: Cassado arranged the Vivaldi "Concerto" from the fifth of the set of six Cello Sonatas published in Paris @ 1740)
Boccherini: Cello Concerto No. 9 in B-flat major G. 482
Haydn: Concerto for Cello No. 2 in D major Op. 101/H 7b No. 2
This is exalted cello playing by any measure and all those who treasure the art of the cello will find much to savor here – Cassado plays with great verve and poetry – wonderful!
Incidentally, there are superlative liner notes on the reverse side of the jacket by Stanley Sadie, printed in English only. The striking cover design is credited to “ST”.
CONDITION:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the jacket is EXCELLENT. There is minor shelfwear and discoloration, but that is all. There are no seamsplits, bends, owners’ markings, or other defects, and the album remains solid, bright, and highly attractive – overall, an excellent collector's copy.
The condition of the LP itself is EXCELLENT. Although the surfaces are not absolutely silent, this is a fine copy and the playback is quite superb. Those requiring flawless or NM surfaces are kindly advised to look elsewhere. Overall, this rates as an excellent collector's copy.
