Busoni: His Complete Disc Recordings and Busoni Pupils Play Busoni [LP VINYL RECORD]

New York: International Piano Archives - Desmar, 1976. LP Record in Jacket. Very Good/Very Good. 12.5" x 12.5. IPA 104. A remarkable historical document of one of the greatest piano virtuosi of the late-19th-early-20th century (all of his non-player-piano-roll recordings), along with revelatory recordings by three of his outstanding students. CONTENTS: Busoni performs Bach, Chopin, and Liszt (***See accompanying scan image of the Track List.); Michael Von Zadora performs the Bizet-Busoni "Carmen" Fantasy; Egon Petri performs the Bach-Busoni Chaconne; Edward Weiss performs Busoni's Indian Diary, Book 1. CONDITION: Overall Very Good Minus record, I'd say, to be safe. The early 1920s recordings (Busoni and Zadora) have not been digitally "cleaned", so they retain the surface noise sound of their original 78 RPM records. The later Petri and Weiss recordings are somewhat cleaner, with general light-moderate surface noise, though toward the end of the Petri there is a recurring thump (resulting from a visible manufacturing flaw (bump). The Very Good jacket is bright, solid, unmarked, and uncreased, with light shelf-wear and ring-wear.The LP is now in a new audiophile inner sleeve (replacing the plain original) and the entire album is nestled in a strong mylar outer sleeve. It will be cleaned again before being securely packed and promptly shipped, domestically (USA) and internationally.
