Beethoven’s 9th violin sonata, “The Kreutzer”, is one of the greatest works ever written for violin and piano. Originally dedicated to virtuoso violinist George Augusts Polgreen Bridgetower, the Kreutzer was premiered by Bridgetower with the composer at the piano, on May 24th, 1803 in Vienna. After a falling out with the composer, the work was rededicated to Rudolph Kreutzer, who ironically never played the work and criticized it as outrageous and unmanageable. History has proven that this music is hardly outrageous and while it’s not a particularly easy piece to play, it is hardly unmanageable, especially when the musician is Jascha Heifetz. Recorded Sept 22, 1960 with the help of pianist Brooks Smith, this is one of the most intense readings of the Kreutzer ever committed to LP. It’s vivid sound is equally exciting. The words “Living Stereo” are to be taken seriously on Cisco’s 180 gram pressing.
