Audiofon 2012 Bach:Partita #2/Telemann,Enesco,Ysaye,solo violin/Rosand, TAS list

$

56

A truly remarkable recording for solo violin played by the American virtuoso Aaron Rosand. At this stage of his career, Rosand focuses not on the technical side and delved deep into the musical meaning of these pieces. It must be the most satisfying Chaconne I've heard! However, the most eye-opening piece here is the Ysaye Sonata #2, "Obsession". It is fiendishly difficult but Rosand makes it sound easy and draws listener's attention to the many "quotes" in here. This copy used to belong to a professional violinist. Only wish his record handling technique is as good as for his fiddle!

On the current TAS list and well-deserved!

Record condition: Side 1 (Bach): EX+ (a couple non-sounding scuffs, plays very close to NM-)/Side 2: VG+ (Telemann: visible scuffs, perhaps fingernail caused, plays fine but with light ticks); EX- (Enesco: some light, cosmetic marks, plays close to EX+); EX (Ysaye: come light, cosmetic marks, plays very close to NM-) 

Cover condition: EX- (corner bend and shelf wear)

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!
