In the Thread: Tschaikowsky, [Violin] Concerto in D, Reiner/Chicago/Heifetz
Post Subject: It just gets betterPosted by Paul S on: 5/11/2008
Another great thing about great music: It not only encourages but also rewards re-listening.
God, I love this piece!
And with better electricity today, it is hard to imagine a more satisfying overall rendition.
Germane to the "Ice Maiden" post, Heifitz's performance here is anything but cool, let alone cold. He is truly phenomenal here!
And, this "shaded dog" stereo is fantastic (1958!). Wonderful scale and ambience; spectacular dynamics.
Run, don't walk to get your copy now (but only if you actually play it...)!
