CD bought after the concert in L'Artesà (Tradicionàrius). Earlier I have received an email from them (I have good friends there) with the programming of the new Tradicionàrius festival.

It was a gift from my friend Jordi Fàbregas, the group leader. He is responsible for the recovery of traditional Catalan music. He directs L'Artesà since its creation, along with other members of this group and its other group, El Pont d'Arcalís. And, about all, he is a very good person.

The Tchaikovsky was recorded in April, 1957 on 3-track 15 ips tape. Remastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound from the original analogue 3-track tapes!

RCA's "golden age" was more like a "golden minute" - in a scant period, roughly from 1958 to 1963, the beginning of the stereo era - pure vacuum tube amplification helped produce recordings demonstrating unparalleled fidelity & warmth, lifelike presence & midband illumination.

Hailed as 1 of the greatest - perhaps the greatest violinists of this century - Jascha Heifetz delivers what is considered an unequaled performance of Tchaikovsky's beloved concerto. Conductor Fritz Reiner & the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, in top form, provide the perfect context for Maestro Heifetz's dazzling performance.
Well, I have a vinyl from the defunct USSR: Tretyakov & Fedoseyev, USSR Radio TV - Tchaikovsky - Violin Concerto (1985) that I LOVE. A treasure. Other day.

Note: I have tried again and ISO (SACD) sounds better with foobar2000 + SACD plugin than in JRMC 64 bits.
