Tchaikovsky violin concerto with Munch and Milstein on RCA. Not as brilliant as the Heifitz version, but the orchestra is recorded better and has more fire.
I've probably got that recording somewhere in my basement. No doubt Milstein was a great violinist and that was a great recording. Problem is, having listened to about a dozen different recordings of the Tchaikowsky on YouTube in rapid succession, Heifetz blew all the others away. There's Heifetz and there's everybody else. And that's usually the way it is. I've got the entire Heifetz collection on both vinyl and cd. (there must be at least 1500 to 2000 violin recordings in my house.) Heifetz was always a tough act to follow. Those sometimes in his league IMO were Rabin, Menuhin, and Nadien. Of the three only Nadien is still alive.
That has the look of a collector's item. Could it be an oldy but goody?
Zarathustra!! Man that shakes the room!
Hi.Sorry, I never go for any monaural LPs. I pick only stereo recordings.
