Prokofiev Violin Concerto in G Minor
Heifetz / Charles Munch / Boston Symphony Orchestra
RCA Living Stereo / Analog Productions Release

Insanely gorgeous music making by Heifetz and BSO

Is it possible that this sonic masterpiece was released in 1959?

Mozart Piano Concerto #18, Murray Perahia, ECO. wonderful performance and beautiful vinyl.

"Rhapsodies", Ormandy / Philadelphia Orchestra. It was released back when there were millions of Thorens TD 124s out there to play it.  And that's exactly what I thought when I put it on my Thorens TD 124. Somehow the Columbia Six Eyes look better on a Thorens. My other sophisticated direct drives and belt drive looked on with envy. 

As a kid, I remember my parents playing this record while I looked at the gorgeous woman on the front cover.

For the sake of nostalgia, I played my parents' ancient copy followed by the minty copy I found on Ebay.  My parents' copy cleaned up pretty well, but the vinyl seems to have been ground out by some long forgotten phono cartridge tracking at 4 grams or so. Overall the sound is pretty bad, but the music is just fantastic. Then I played my mint Ebay copy. Much better sound. Great memories.
