Heifetz-Piatigorsky Concerts with Jacob Lateiner & Guests

Heifetz-Piatigorsky Concerts with Jacob Lateiner & Guests on 180g Vinyl LP from Impex: Mixed from the Original Half-Inch 3 Track Masters, Mastered by Kevin Gray and Robert Pincus, Pressed at RTI

Two friends, virtuosos without peer, get together in their living rooms to perform music by some of their favorite composers: Beethoven, Haydn, Rosza. Not for money or fame. For their friends. For each other. One day, they decide to put their favorite collaborations down on tape. Impex Records proudly presents this 180g vinyl LP pressing of the same uncompromising sonic and production standards of the artists themselves: Heifetz-Piatigorsky Concerts. The reissue was mixed from the original half-inch 3-track masters by Meyer Media in New York and mastered by Kevin Gray and Robert Pincus. It comes housed in an extra heavy jacket with tip on and UV gloss coating.

In the summer of 1961, violinist Jascha Heifetz and cellist Gregor Piatigorsky decided to share their musical experiences and pleasures with music lovers of the surrounding communities. They founded the Heifetz-Piatigorsky Concerts, an intimate series dedicated to chamber music masterpieces. Since then, concerts have been given not only in Hollywood but also in San Francisco and New York. Heifetz and Piatigorsky have invited such distinguished artists as William Primrose, Leon Fleischer and Jacob Lateiner to collaborate with them in concert and in recording.

"I'm not sure how many of the performances preserved in the 21-CD set were issued on vinyl, but none I've heard sounded better than the original pressing of this LP, and this reissue is significantly better still, with more body..."
