HEIFETZ/MUNCH Mendelssohn Concerto In E Minor Prokofieff Concerto In G Major New & Sealed One Sided, 4 Disc Pressing - 45 RPM Series
Record label/brand: Classic Records/RCA LSC-2314 upc/mpn: None Living Stereo - "Shaded Dog"
This is a very collectable audiophile rarity issued by Classic Records in 1995. There are 4 heavy vinyl, one-sided records in this set. Mastered by audio legend, Bernie Grundman, this was Classic Records' attempt to achieve the ultimate in vinyl sound quality.
The records are packaged in one sleeve with the original album artwork and then three white generic covers. Classic Records pride themselves for releasing each album with the original artwork, LP labels and any other materials which were included with original pressings. Corners are sharp, spines are straight and there are no flaws, blemishes or imperfections of any kind. 100% MINT!
This title was mastered by Classic Records at Half Speed from the original source master tapes. An all-analog, tube amplification process was used at every step. Classic Records used a proprietary vinyl, in either 180 gram or 200 gram weight, that guaranteed virtually no surface noise and sonically superior dynamics.
In short, this is as good as this album is ever going to sound on vinyl. Don't wait... this four record set is long out of print and growing harder to find - especially in this brand new, still sealed condition.
Review: One of the best Heifetz concerto titles of all time. (I'm trying to think of a title that sounds better and coming up blank.) The violin is captured beautifully, although each side has its own specific sonic characteristics. More importantly there is a lovely lyricism in Heifetz's playing which suits this Romantic music perfectly. I know of no better performance of either work. If you want to demonstrate the magic of Living Stereo recordings, jump right to the second movement of the Bruch. The sonority of the massed strings is to die for. When Heifetz enters, his violin further adds to the transcendental quality of the sound. It doesn't get much better than this, on Living Stereo or anywhere else. ~ Amazon
