Description
Leonin - Ecole Notre-Dame
Harmonia Mundi HMC 1148 (pressed in France)
Marcel Peres with Ensemble Organum
LP is bright and glossy and appears unplayed; beautiful!
Cover is beautiful - no rubs or wear. There is the beginning of a tear on top of the jacket (from the LP), but this is minor.
16 page booklet included. Again, looks new.
Arthur Salvatore DIVINITY class record, special award: FINEST CHORAL LP. Here's what Salvatore says about this record:
This is another indispensable LP from Harmonia Mundi. It consists of Twelfth Century Polyphony from France. The four voices are all male and there are no instruments of any kind. The recording is in a church or cathedral with plenty of reverberation, but the voices are closely miked to reduce potential problems.
I find this record "indispensable" because this is the finest recording of mature, male voices I have ever heard, from tenor to bass. The sound is extremely natural and immediate. The voices have both power and refinement. The first echoes are so strong that sometimes the voices almost appear out of focus. This recording venue was also used on some other Harmonia Mundi LP's. You can tell this when you hear some birds chirping in the background during the quiet sections.
Please see my other auctions -- I'm selling a number of Salvatore Divinity and Demi-god class records (and a couple of Honorable Mentions).I pack LPs carefully; the LP itself will be shipped outside of the jacket to avoid the possibility of it's tearing the jacket during shipping.
US media mail shipping is $4 for the first LP + $1 each additional LP (I do combine shipping).
Canada is $8 for the first LP + $2 each additional LP.
Overseas is $15 for the first LP + $5 each additional LP.
