Here for your delectation is the SPECTACULAR & RARE----------------BACH UNACCOMPANIED SONATA FOR VIOLIN #2 LP IN B MINOR /GEORGES ENESCO, VIOLINIST

This is truth. After this all is trivial.
Enescu's bow weaves an amazing seamless robe of each movement, seeming to compress its time-span while expounding it depths and wonder.

Nowhere is this experienced to better effect than in the great Partita No 2, the mighty Chaconne is a revelation of glory because it is a revelation of humility - deep insight, absolutely no attempt to draw attention from the music to the performer, not a grain of self-pity or self-regard.

A most wonderful and uplifting experience.

If Bach is played in heaven, then this is how he is played!

Georges Enescu (1881-1955) was an extraordinary musician. One of the last century's most gifted composers, his works go far beyond the Two Romanian Rhapsodies for which he is most popular today. One of the greatest violinists of all time, Enescu was also a brilliant conductor. The great pianist Alfred Cortot once admitted that Enescu's piano proficiency was superior to his own. Enescu was also blessed with a photographic memory (he knew most Western musical masterpieces, including some 150 Bach Cantatas, by heart).

Enescu's student Yehudi Menuhin called him 'the most extraordinary human being, the greatest musician and the most formative influence I have ever experienced.' Pablo Casals said he was the most phenomenal musical talent since Mozart.... The many tales of his boundless energy and facility simply boggle the mind. Once, as part of an impromptu lesson for an enthralled Amadeus Quartet, he sat down at a piano for several hours and played all of the Beethoven string quartets, with running commentary, off the top of his head."

This sublime Bach recording was among the last Enescu ever made. Even in his late sixties and suffering from arthritis, Enescu retained a sovereign technique. Here and there is some imperfect intonation and a few signs of strain, but these are little more than tiny imperfections in a Grand Master painting. Considering numerous sets of Bach's solo violin works, none of them are a match for the profoundly musical insights of this one.
This recording was made in 1949 for Don Gabor (proprietor of the fabled Remington LP label), and was issued on an incredibly rare LP. The 1995 edition of "Canfield's Guide to Classical Recordings" (the bible of rare LP collectors) lists this as "the Holy Grail of all records!"

NOT TO BE MISSED!! 

FABULOUS COLLECTIBLE!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

This is the REMINGTON RLP-PL-1-149 10-INCH LP. The vinyl has tiny pinpoint-sized flaws (bubbles) that probably do not affect play. The original paper sleeve (instead of a cardboard cover) shows considerable wear. The record shows hardly any visible scratches under normal light. Check my feedback to see that I sell exactly as I describe. So bid now for this magnificent, impossible-to-find CLASSICAL MUSIC COLLECTIBLE.

**A NOTE TO PROSPECTIVE RECORD BUYERS** Despite my attempt to keep my ads informative, yet as simple and uncomplicated as possible, I have realized that record purchasers are another “breed” entirely. As a result, I am deluged with questions both bizarre, and occasionally frivolous. I have even received a “warning” prior to shipment to a winning bidder telling me exactly what he expected----or else! I therefore find it necessary to include this explanation of what to expect from me should you choose to buy this or any of my other listed records. To begin, all of these records come from my personal collection. I bought most of them in the 1960’s in new condition—although some came from close-out bins or a nearby radio station. Almost every one has been played only once or twice (except the radio copies) (it is a huge collection—how many times could I listen to them?!) Being a collector, I also took extremely good care of them. On the other hand, I was, and am, completely UNKNOWLEDGEABLE about details that “real” collectors have. To begin with, the term “excellent” describes the fact that I looked at the record under a normal lamp light and did not see obvious flaws. If I notice a scratch, I will mention it. I also will say a cover is “perfect” unless I see obvious tears or major stains. I say “original” because most were purchased 50-odd years ago and I want to distinguish them from newer releases---on the other hand, I have no knowledge of dates of pressings. And now, to the most important part---I have noticed other record sellers posting huge disclaimers discussing the scurrilous practices of some buyers, such as “switching” records that they purchase for others of the same title that they already own that are in considerably worse condition. Or, purchasing a record, and trying to negotiate a lower price after receipt of the merchandise with a threat of negative feedback. I am also sure that there are less-than-honest sellers out there. My position is simply this---my positive feedback speaks for itself----I try to sell exactly what I describe---within the parameters of my own knowledge. If my ad does not include information you require, please ask before you buy and I will try to answer promptly and to the best of my ability. If I cannot—don’t buy! Also, always understand that you are purchasing a used record---records are known to have clicks, pops, distortions, even occasional slight warping. They had these flaws when I purchased them. If it did not affect their play, I was not concerned. I was listening to the music. If you are expecting perfect sound----buy the CD! I even stupidly accepted return of a record that I was told was not an original, only to re-sell it to a collector who said it certainly was an original. I presume the original buyer recorded it, since it was not available on CD. Those days are over for me. If you buy it, you own it. Everything I mail is sent wrapped in bubble pack and special (expensive) record mailers. I aim to please---as my feedback shows---but if you want to see or hear your record before buying, please go to a record store---not ebay. I apologize for having to write this----but I thank you for reading it.
