Description

The French independent record company Astree is the most consistent label that puts out first rate program, performance, gorgeous package design with detailed notes, and last but certainly not least, audiophile quality sound. Most of their repertoire is early music, or classical period music played in HIP (historically informed performance) but there are also surprising (and surprisingly good) modern works. Collectors in the know already discovered the secret but unfortunately they are very scarce as they were targeting the connoisseur audience and the original list price is about 50% higher than the big labels. If this label is new to you, I highly recommend you give it a try!

Numerically the very first record in the amazing early music series, gorgeously played by the best viol (viola da gamba) player today. I could listen to this music all day!

Record condition: NM/NM

Cover condition: NM, gatefold

Note: I'm a collector, not a dealer. The reason I'm selling is to downsize my collection. Every record I offer was hand-picked based on its merits on music, performance, and sonics (not necessarily in that order!). I will list recording credentials such as producer, engineer, venue, date, etc. as I believe as an educated buyer, these will offer crucial info for an unfamiliar record to make a buying judgement. Hope you'll find this useful!

Shipping cost:

US: shipping is $6 by USPS media mail. $1 extra per each additional items for combined shipment. Priority Mail is available and cost is based on your location. Please wait for invoice if you prefer Priority Mail.

International: USPS just raised their price and I don't have enough data to calculate. Please send me a request for total if you won multiple items and wait for my invoice for combined shipment (don't pay the eBay automatically generated invoice)!
