Background on this eBay item -
All collectors of super rare classical LPs, especially on the Remington label realize and understand that the vinyl used during this companies existence wasn't the type of vinyl formula found and appreciated by audiophiles today. Many of their titles suffered from pressing defects - bubbles, distortion, noisy vinyl, etc. But the company did have the dubious distinction of recording and releasing some of the greatest performances and performers of the time - like this record featuring the esteemed French violinist, Michele Auclair and Spanish cellist, Gaspar Cassado!
Michèle Auclair (16 November 1924 – 10 June 2005) was a French violinist and teacher.Michèle Auclair was born into a family with sense for arts and culture. Her first teacher was Line Talluel and later, at the Paris Conservatoire, Jules Boucherit, Boris Kamensky and Jacques Thibaud.
In 1943, she won the first prize at the Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud Competition and in 1946 also the first prize at Geneva Concours.
From 1956, she collaborated with the pianist Jacqueline Bonneau with their concert debut a year later. In 1962, she started another collaboration with the pianist Geneviève Joy.
In 1967, she was appointed violin professor at the Paris Conservatoire together with Pierre Doukan. In the next two decades, their students won more than 45 international prizes. She also taught at the New England Conservatoire in Boston.
In 1995, she was awarded Légion d'honneur for her contributions in the field of music.
Gaspar Cassadó i Moreu (September 30, 1897 – December 24, 1966) was a Spanish cellist and composer of the early 20th century. He was born in Barcelona to a church musician father and began taking cello lessons at age seven. When he was nine, he played in a recital where Pablo Casals was in the audience; Casals immediately offered to teach him. The city of Barcelona awarded him a scholarship so that he could study with Casals in Paris.
He was also the author of several notable musical hoaxes.
