The respect held by other musicians for the talents of violinist Ida Haendel was almost as total as her obscurity in the mind of the general public. What commanded this respect was her large tone, assured and dedicated technique, and refreshing musicality.Haendel was born on December 15, 1928, in Chelm, Poland, and took up the violin at the age of three. She won her first competition, the Huberman Prize, when she was five, playing Beethoven's Violin Concerto, and was a finalist at the age of seven in the Wieniawski Competition. She and her parents traveled around Western Europe for a few years, during which time she did some studies with Enescu. Eventually, the family settled in London, where she was a student of Carl Flesch. In 1937, she made her first appearance at the Promenade concerts, where she continued to perform until late in life. It was around the time of her 1939 debut with Sir Henry Wood that the debate over her age developed. At the time, London would not allow children under the age of 14 to perform on Sundays, so 11-year-old Ida and her manager lied about her age in order for her to play. During World War II, Haendel played for English troops and participated in Myra Hess' National Gallery concerts. She also made many recordings during the early 1940s, but it wasn't until she toured the U.S. in 1946 and began annual tours of Europe, as well as appearing in South America and Asia, that her name began to be known outside of England. She and her family moved to Canada in 1952, but she split her time between Miami and London. She was the soloist invited to tour China with John Pritchard and the London Philharmonic in 1973.
Haendel's signature pieces were the concertos of Sibelius, Elgar, Walton, Brahms, and Britten. Both Sibelius and Walton personally praised her performances of their works. She premiered Dallapiccola's Tartiniana seconda in 1957 and Allan Pettersson's Violin Concerto No. 2, which was dedicated to her, in 1980. Haendel was given the Sibelius Prize in 1982 and created a Commander of the British Empire in 1991. While not as well recognized as she should have been, she continued to be a much-sought-after soloist by conductors such as Vladimir Ashkenazy, Simon Rattle, Zubin Mehta, and Seiji Ozawa and was admired by younger violinists such as Anne-Sophie Mutter and Maxim Vengerov. Haendel died on July 1, 2020, in Pembroke Park, Florida. - Patsy Morita

CONDITION Details:
The LP JACKET is in near mint minus overall condition! The jacket has NO seam splits, NO cut out marks, NO discoloration and NO writing/stamps. The corners and seams are solid with just some light shelf wear and a slight bend at the corners. The jacket is laminated on both sides, front and back. The colors on the jacket are sharp and clean! - see pictures with this listing as they are of the actual item.
The LP is in near mint minus overall condition! There are NO serious marks on the vinyl. But the LP does have a couple of very light spider marks (caused by sliding the LP in and out of the inner sleeve) and perhaps a finger print or two. Most of the time, spider marks are not audible, but it really depends on the sensitivity of your audio gear. Considering the vintage of this LP, the vinyl looks near mint minus overall. However, this is not a new audiophile LP....some extraneous sound is inevitable and should be expected for a vintage LP. This LP retains much of the original gloss and sheen! There are NO serious spindle marks on the record labels either.
A Short Note About LP GRADING -
- Mint = Only used for sealed items.
- Near Mint = Virtually flawless in every way.
- Near Mint Minus = Item has some minor imperfections, some audible.
- Excellent = Item obviously played and enjoyed with some noise.
- Very Good Plus = Many more imperfections which are noticeable and obtrusive.
For best results, always properly clean your LPs before playing them.
The LP is an audiophile quality pressing (any collector of fine MFSL, half speeds, direct to discs, Japanese/UK pressings etc., can attest to the difference a quality pressing can make to an audio system).
