Description

Ikuyo Kamiya -
Beethoven APPASSIONATA -
Rca Direct-to-Disc Mastering Lab Series -
45RPM - RDC-4 -
Recommended by TAS -
ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY STUNNING!



This is the RCA (RDC-4) direct cut of Beethoven's "Appassionata" as played by Ikuyo Kamiya, renowned in audiophile circles worldwide as perhaps the very best piano record of all time.

It is on a Bosendorfer to-die-for, oh yes, captured in a recording that has plainly received reviews from music lovers and audiophiles alike as simply one of the best (yep, on the TAS list, too).  To bring this down to earth, let me just say, if you are a fan of the Gale Records or have stone-cold mint, first stampers of the Mercury Living Presence "hot six," then this disc is for you.  Be forewarned, however:

Having a Bosendorfer, for all intents and purposes, right in your room, will require tightening of your listening chair's seat belt.   Awesome sound here, that can quite literally billow across your listening room floor.

Jacket of this copy is without any major failings.  Original liner notes are enclosed (great read), while the record is pristine; near mint and better in playback.

Make no mistake, this is a benchmark recording; a vinyl treasure not to be missed.

Worthy of the very finest audiophile library.

For other fine records, TAS picks and hard-to-finds, please see my complete list of offerings here on eBay.

Shipping and handling is $5 for up to 5 LPs shipped within the States. Internationally, $15 via airmail for the first LP, $3 each thereafter. (Canada is half that.) Boxes over 4 lbs., add another $6, because First Class is no longer available at that weight, just Priority Mail. Note, too, boxed sets of LPs require more postage.
