Description

Title: J. S. Bach Drei Sonaten und drei Partiten solo Violin BWV1001-1006

Label: Harmonia Mundi 1C 157 1999603  3LPs German Pressing

Condition: Record: NM

Condition: Jacket/Box: NM-

Description:  Wonderful performance of Bach's solo violin sonatas and partitas.  The sound on this is wonderful.  You hear the fingers working the violin.  Another set that I have trouble parting with (the collector vs. the dealer)

RECORD GRADES: SEALED: Sealed. As collectors know, not necessarily a guarantee of condition. MINT: Not used as a grade by me. MINT MINUS (MINT-): Very rarely used, and only for a super, super clean looking and sounding record. NEAR NIMT (NM): A record that does not have any visual or audio flaws. NEAR MINT- (NM-): A record withe a very minimal extremely slight flaw, particularly an inaudible one: A scuff or shallow mark that does not sound. VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS (VG++): A record that may have some slight flaw or two very slight flaws: Very light background noise heard in low sound level parts of the music, occasional light ticks, a very few repeating light clicks, etc. VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+): Same flaws as VG++ but more pronounced. Still does not interfere with the enjoyment of the music for many if not most people. VERY GOOD (VG): Background noise that can be heard during all but the louder passages, scratches that cause repeated mild and moderate ticks. May start to interfere with the enjoyment of the music. I rarely sell records with this grade unless they are rare and have some redeeming reason for someone to buy them.

I try to grade records fairly and conservatively. In general I will try to mention specific defects. Variation exists in playback systems and even in the ears of listeners, as well as in some pressings where some labels are known to have noisy surfaces. Old mono records and even new records made from old (78) records or tape also have inherent noise in them. My system is a Linn LP12-Lingo phono/ Graham 2.2 tonearm/Van den Hull Frog cartridge with Standard Exposure amp-preamp and Thiel speakers. My system is very transparent and reveals a lot of detail in the music which can include surface noise. A friend of mine who also has a Linn LP12 with Krell amps and Linn tonearm and cartridge routinely grades my records a half to full grade higher than I do. And they actually do sound different (better?) On his system. I try to be as honest as I can when I grade records. I am only human and cannot fully play both sides of the records I sell. I do spot-check almost all of the records I sell. Therefore I do offer full refunds within reason, less shipping charges, of course.
