Alfred Hertz, 1935

Alfred Hertz, renown German Conductor, recording pioneer and Wagner Specialist, was the second conductor of the San Francisco symphony. He also conducted the Carmen on April 17th 1906 with Caruso and Olive Fremstad in San Francisco, on the eve of the Great Earthquake.

The finest concert hall in the SF area, is named in his honor: uC Berkeleys Alfred Hertz Hall.

Victor signed the SF Symphony with Hertz on in 1925 in the last days of the acoustic process, and they continued to record some early electric discs. Later on, Victor should come back to make some celebrated recordings in the 30s under PIERRE MONTEUX conducting the SF Symphony

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small handling fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

If you are in the San Francisco area, I welcome pick-up in person.

I am very happy to ship records worldwide.

Please use the EBAY shipping cost as a guideline. 

 As always, I would appreciate any suggestions and corrections from you, pls contact me with any question.


Thank you very much, and enjoy these great records!!!
