Background on this eBay item -
Antonio Janigro (21 January 1918 – 1 May 1989) was an Italian cellist and conductor.Born in Milan, he began studying piano when he was six and cello when he was eight. Initially taught by Giovanni Berti, Janigro enrolled in the Verdi Conservatory of Milan, where he was instructed by Gilberto Crepax. By 1934 Janigro was studying under Diran Alexanian and Pablo Casals at the École Normale in Paris. He graduated from the school in 1934 and began performing solo and in recitals with Dinu Lipatti and Paul Badura-Skoda.
An unfortunately timed vacation in Yugoslavia left Janigro stranded in that country for the duration of World War II. He became a professor of cello and chamber music at the Zagreb Conservatory, where his influence developed modern cello playing in Yugoslavia. He also performed as part of the Ma?ek-Šulek-Janigro Trio. At war's end Janigro traveled throughout South America and the Far East as a soloist. In 1959, he was Fritz Reiner's soloist, along with Milton Preves and John Weicher, in a renowned Chicago Symphony Orchestra recording of Strauss's Don Quixote.
An extraordinarily gifted teacher, Janigro educated many cellists around the world. Most of them studied at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Stuttgart and the Mozarteum Salzburg. Among his students were Julius Berger, Mario Brunello, Thomas Demenga, Michael Flaksman, Michael Groß, Antonio Meneses, Andrej Petrac, Mario de Secondi, Giovanni Sollima, Gustavo Tavares, and Christoph Theinert.
Janigro was a highly-regarded conductor who led a symphony orchestra for Radio Zagreb and guest-conducted throughout Europe. The chamber orchestra I Solisti di Zagreb was created by Janigro, who lived the rest of his life in Zagreb, where he died in 1989.

CONDITION Details:
LP JACKET:-
The LP jacket is in Near Mint minus condition!
-
The jacket is almost completely intact with just a tiny seam split at the bottom. The jacket shows some shelf wear, primarily weakening at the corners and seams. Colors are a tiny bit faded and/or dirty as the bulk of the jacket is in white and over time, it has darkened and yellowed a bit - the patina of age! Have a close look at the pictures and you will better see what we are referring to.
-
The jacket has NO drill holes or saw marks of any kind.
-
There is NO hand writing on the front of the jacket. The back has a couple of light stamps with a number written in ink.
-
The cover has clean and sharp colors, just a bit of fading/staining due to age - see pictures with this listing for more detail.
-
Please remember that we are talking about original, 1950's vinyl - product issued during this time period (the earliest life of the LP after moving away from 78s) was not exactly what we would call audiophile quality! There seemed to always be some form of defect, like pressing bubbles and the like. The vinyl was typically noisy, but a good record cleaning does help the sound with these rare, vintage LPs.
-
Given the foregoing disclosure, the LP is in NEAR MINT minus condition. - A finer copy of this vintage LP would be very difficult to find.
The LP retains much of the original gloss and sheen - just has a bit of dust on it!
-
The record has NO serious marks on it, obviously well taken care of.
-
The record labels have NO significant spindle marks on them - just a couple of light ones.
-
This is the superb copy you have always wanted in your collection - picky audiophiles should be happy with this one!
-
This LP may have some light marks (spider marks mostly) which are caused by sliding the LP in and out of the inner sleeve and are usually not audible on most audio systems, depending on the sensitivity of your turntable, arm and cartridge - as for any record, even brand new ones, for best results we recommend a thorough record cleaning before playing!
A Short Note About LP GRADING -
