A Critics View
Roger Fiske in The Gramophone (November 1958) said “Thirteen cello lollypops on one disc sounds too much of a good thing but it isn’t. Fournier’s skill and artistry are utterly disarming. His phrasing always shows complete penetration of the music, and he links one note to the next in the most golden way…………….The quality on this disc is splendid and this beautifully played record should give a great deal of pleasure”.
Record Condition (Play graded throughout)
Prior to playing, the record was cleaned on my Moth Record Cleaning Machine. Playback equipment comprised a Thorens TD160, Linn Basik LVX Arm with Audio Technica AT-95E Cartridge.
The record was examined in normal daylight. There are faint non sounding marks on both sides with a scratch on Side 1 band 1.The sleeve is very clean, with slight bumps to all four corners.
Side 1
Band 1 A light scratch causes faint ticks in the right hand speaker throughout.
Band 2 to Band 6 Play virtually without fault, with no surface noise or ticks.
Side 2
Band 1 Seven ticks at the very end, otherwise plays without fault.
Band 2 Ten ticks at the start with a further five later on.
Band 3 to Band 7 Play virtually without fault, with no surface noise or ticks.
