Not sure that's the case; who knows why certain records get a reputation as being valuable, which then makes them more valuable, even though, like this one, they aren't really rare. Popsike shows this album auctioning from $100 to above $300.
Well, its value certainly couldn't be because of a particularly lovely cover. This one could charitably be described as hideous, like many of the LPs issued by Remington.
Remington was a budget label that for some reason has acquired a latter-day following. It even has a tribute web site with a page devoted to Enescu's recordings - here.
Enescu's great music and performance rises well above the ugly cover, awful pressing, and utilitarian sound values. Remington gets the pianist's name wrong in two different ways - she is Céliny Chailley-Richez.
I'll be posting a short series of recordings that Enescu made for Remington.
