Finally got this one: BEETHOVEN EDITION 1970: Piano Trios & Quartets • Wilhelm Kempff, Henryk Szeryng, Pierre Fournier, Karl Leister, Christoph Eschenbach, Members of the Amadeus Quartett — DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON 6 LP box 2720 016 — first edition, lacquers cut August 1970 @J.A.W. is that Dutch on the dust cover, 2nd line? Here it is without the dust cover, where they used English instead:
Just returned from my 50-min, 3 mile (somewhat) early morning walk and listened to the following CD ...
It is rare to see a young Alice Harnoncourt in LP photo since I have very few gatefold Telefunken LP by the Concentus Musicus from the 1960's ...
@crispi, You are spot on and I pretty much agree with your view. I am a bit confused as to why there was a slow-down in the Prelude, which is present on the CD as well.
Here is an even younger Harnoncourt couple. This photo was taken in 1956, it’s in the Archiv Analogue Stereo Recordings mega box:
This was the time when Nikolaus was still a cellist with either the Vienna Philharmonic or Vienna Symphony and was shut out by Karajan for a rehearsal since the latter would not hear any of the HIP discussions. For Karajan, it was always his way or highway ... Thanks for sharing this photo. What is Archiv Analogue Stereo Recordings mega box? Is it some kind of classical music catalog from the 1960's?

@coopmv There's also this box: https://www.amazon.de/Archiv-Produktion-1947-2013-Limited-Harnoncourt/dp/B00BCSBU4E/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_nl_NL=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=B00BCSBU4E&qid=1563719998&s=gateway&sr=8-1
Did DG license Harnoncourt's recordings from Teldec for this box as the latter was not a DG Archiv artist? This box would have been a duplicates city for me since I already have many Pinnock's and JEG's recordings ...
I don't know, I don't have these Archiv boxes and can't say anything about their contents. Maybe someone else knows.
Listening on Primephonic. Antonin Dvorák Sonata in F Major for Violin & Piano, Op. 57 Four Romantic Pieces for Violin & Piano Op. 75 Josef Suk Four Romantic Pieces for Violin & Piano, Op. 17 Leos Janácek Sonata for Violin & Piano Tamsin Waley-Cohen – violin, Huw Watkins – piano
A couple of his early albums were on Archiv, indeed. [I think his first two or three.] One each is included in those Archiv boxes you posted. (Just like Jordi Savall also did a one-off Archiv recording, also included in my box.)
Probably married for over sixty years. IIRC, one of their sons was killed in some traffic accident ...
Now playing CD15 - works of Chopin, Brahms, Mozart, Weber, Schubert, Liszt, Ravel, Schulhof and Beethoven - (all over the place!) from the following box for a first listen ...
Immensely enjoying this set today while it’s one-hundred-and-whatever degrees outside........ Vivaldi Concertos - Trevor Pinnock.
Listening to "Codex Chantilly III" performed by Tetraktys on Olive Music. Zsuzsi Toth, Kees Boeke, Julia von Landsberg, Baptiste Romain, Leandro Marziotte, Claire Piganiol and Silvia Tecardi
