I got on loan this disc from my pal Enrico... it's a 45 rpm recorded with a (Charlin's?) dummy-head miking technique and the star of the disc is a 1716 gorgeous Donzelague's harpsichord.
The disc is a truly seldom seen, sought-after wax, indeed... in same league than my beloved, Georges Kisselhof's engineered Sarastro, also a 45 rpm disc, also a French production..
Oui! Vérité Musicale, productions musicales en haute fidélité.
Gravure stéréophonique de phase, tête artificielle. .
... but... BUT what makes this disc quite a rare breed, the back cover liner notes shows something unique: VM - Verite Musicale, the label itself shows an hidden sort-of "secret"!
They claims the availability, for the discerning audiophile, of open-reel master copies of the superb recording, also offering different standards - i.e. 19 cm/s NAB/Dolby B or DBX and 38 cm/s CCIR/IEC with DBX noise reduction!
... something only Barclay-Crocker from USA did in the past, also using Dolby B...
... since the recent renaissance of master-dubs galore from several sources, as per my friend River Yu's cool directory.
A nice find, indeed.
Thanking Enrico for the opportunity to listen to and appreciate this gem.
