hello everybody,
I have recently purchased that fabulous piano LP album of Marcelle Meyer playing Debussy complete Preludes + Images...
Do you know it ? It was a world LP premiere in 2019, the French Record Company issuing a title that should have been published in 1958, but for some reasons had finally been deleted.
It's phenomenal, both in term of music, performance, PRESSING, FULL ANALOG DIRECT CUTTING ( with high end vintage equipments, such as Fairchild, Pultec, Neuman...) , and manufacturing: amazingly luxurious french crafymanship: the publisher has re-created the luxury of these superb old Les Discophiles Français canvas albums with gold letterings ! An artwork !
You feel the energy of the pianist just in your room, it's about music, not about "sound".
I want to share here some of the critics that edition received, it deserves it.....2 very interesting video channels:

Marcelle Meyer's origi. LP on Les Discophiles Français are highly sought after, very rare, as the french publisher didn't pressed his records in large quantitys.
The price of the album is a " Rolls Royce" price, but franlky it deserves it, as it's not a " facsimile" re issue like so many others. And it's a limited edition, 200 copies.
For those among you who have high end audio equipments, 100.000$ speakers, 50.000$ amp, it's the opportunity to "make them song" with such a publication !
