Jacques Thibaud Bach Gavotte BWV 1006 (rec. 1905)

Jacques Thibaud (1880-1953) plays Bach, Gavotte from the 3rd solo Partita BWV 1006, on the Fonotipia label. Recorded in 1905. It's one of the first records Thibaud ever made... The Fonotipia label knew a great fame at the beginning of the 20th century.Not only for the quality of its recordings, but also for the care taken in the choice of its artists. Created in 1904 in Milan by Alfred Michaelis, it offered a remarkable catalogue specialized primarily in the field of the vocal art. Nevertheless, it published some recordings of instrumental soloists too. The record does not come from my personal collection (O, I wish it did... ☺) but comes from the collection of Gallica in France.

For three years I have a website, where I post "out-of-copyright" (in the Netherlands)
classical lp's and 78rpm's. It is updated every Friday:

Enjoy!

Unfortunately the old recording didn't capture the beautiful tone of his violin, but we can hear the technique of his playing--clear doublestops, sense of timing,etc. A poor recording will render the sound of a violin down to "horn like" even today.

soothing?

[Geigenspiel]

Eine sehr frühe Aufnahme des jungen Thibaud, unverwechselbar mit sehr vielem Leben, keine aufgesetzte Tongebung, mit hinreißender Indidualität gespielt, zum Versuch der Nachahmung dringend empfohlen !

It's so sweet!

[junglefunny]

haha, because of the sound quality, this sounds like a strangely muted trumpet

Ja, geef wat meer info over Gallica, ik bezit zelf dozijnen Fonotipia's maar zou niet weten wat de link met gallica is

What is Gallica? As mentioned in your text.
