ARTHUR SALVATORE WRITES:
OFFENBACH-CELLO SUITES OP.54-PIDOUX/PECLARD-HARMONIA MUNDI HM 1043
Jacques Offenbach, the famous creator of the "Operetta", began his musical career as a student of the cello. He mastered it well enough to join an orchestra before making the transition to a composer. He retained his interest in the instrument for the rest of his life. These are a pair of cello duos, with no other instrument.
The recording is very natural, transparent and immediate. The performers are a little laid back in the recording space. This is a "must have" LP for cello lovers. The record is not that common. I have only seen one copy.
THIS COPY WAS BOUGHT IN AN AUCTION OF RECORDS FROM THE "DISCOTHEQUE" OF FRENCH NATIONAL RADIO AND THEREFORE HAS *ORTF* LIBRARY LABELS ON THE RECORD LABEL, I THINK THEY GIVE AN INTERESTING PROVENANCE AND WILL NOT REMOVE THEM, BUT THEY CAN BE REMOVED USING A PROPER LABEL REMOVING SPRAY AND A LOT OF CARE AND PATIENCE.
