Pennstater Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 http://hackel.hn.org/classical/composersindex.html Down under Beethoven, there are MP3 files of this concerto. But no track info is available. I own the Perlman and Milstein CD recordings already. But I still prefer this MP3 version. Can you pros identify which recording it is so I can buy a CD of it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabal Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 I cant get it to work. This guy better be careful, he is breaking a lot of copyright laws. Some of these composers are alive ( Glass). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennstater Posted February 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Kabal, the server only allows 1 download at a time. keep trying. As for the debate on the good and evil of MP3s, you see I am trying to BUY a CD of something that I heard on MP3s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabal Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Yup, I will try again, I read the site thoroughly. No debate on Mp3s here, I was merely pointing out what he is doing. It would be nice, however, if he listed the artists so that one could know who is playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwl Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Sounds like the later Heifetz recording (with Munch) to me. (This is based on just listening to a minute of the last movement. Didn't want to deal with the whole thing.) Listen to the bite of the bow, and the lean vibrancy of the tone, and add to that the fast tempo, and the older Heifetz is a good bet. I don't actually have the later recording to compare directly, but I can tell you it's definitely not the young Heifetz, whose recording I do have, though there are definite interpretive similarities (but that recording has a smoother, elegant, more lyrical interpretation). Can anyone confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarts Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Honestly... how can this be anyone else other than Heifetz? (I'm surprised that even lwl was not 100% sure, after all she founded the first maestronet guess-the-violinist challenge ) Yes, I'm sure this is the recording with Munch. Stewart p.s. lwl, I just learned from other posts that you were away from the board for quite a while - I too visit here very sparingly nowadays. Anyway, let me know when you have recitals in the future, as I don't think I live very far away from you (see me email) and it'd be fun to actually hear a maestronetter!

stephen redrobe Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 You are correct, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennstater Posted February 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Thanks for the ID. I think you guys are right. I just didn't expect a stereo recording from Heifetz. By the way, you can get Heifetz's Beethoven/Mendelsohnn, and Tchaik/Brahms CDs at Buy.com for $16 SHipped for both CDs. Great deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K544 Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 As a college boy, I heard Heifetz play the Beethoven in Symphony Hall, Boston just before this recording was made. And let me add how nice it is to see a post from lwl again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
