CD Reviews

A magnificent piece of music

James J. Ugrin | Seattle | 01/30/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have had a vinyl album copy of this recording for many years and find it to be superb. My album makes a few pops and hisses so I am going to get a CD version. This concerto is a piece of music that you can sit and listen to with earphones and get lost in it's beauty. I have three versions (2 CDs and a vinyl.) The CDs are by the Berlin Philharmonic and the Montreal Philharmonic and the vinyl is this one by the Chicago Symphony. They are all wonderful because the music is so good, but I think Heifetz plays the violin the best, and the Chicago Symphony is great too."

"Meticulous transfer process from master tapes. If you plan to get a CD version of Tchaikovsky's violin concerto, I recommend this XRCD version. The sound quality and the playing blew me away. Heifetz plays it with intense fire and his tempo is fast but seems so natural that I can't listen to the slower tempos found on every other recording I've heard.

According to Wikipedia, he plays on a violin with a silver wound gut g-string, 2 gut middle strings, and a steel top string."
