Astonishing Performance

My first exposure to the Sibelius Violin Concerto has been through the purchase of this recording. I especially love the first movement. The DSD recording is also superb.

Sibelius plus Heifetz

This is another example of a good recording enhanced by DSD256 transfer. The recording became the signature tune of violinist Ida Haendel, but Heifetz is well accustomed to the piece and has another command performance. Some have complained about the conductor but I found the CSO with Walter Hendl to be supportive and the violin is up front. This remaster takes a slightly shrill violin sound on the older recording and softens which enhances the whole recording. This is one of his very best.

One of Heifetz's Three Great Sibelius Performances

The Sibelius has fared well on record, with, in the stereo era alone, loads of classic accounts from the likes of Accardo, Haendel, Oistrakh (Rozhdestvensky) and Perlman (Previn), to name but a few and of course there is Heifetz, who recorded this account in 1959 with a great orchestra and less than great conductor, who nevertheless did an excellent job. Of course Heifetz’s intonation is miraculously exact, the tone intense, the bowing almost inhuman and you know you are listening to arguably the greatest of all violinists, who has enormous projection and concentration, whose forward moving tempi never sound rushed. In terms of the sound, there is an excellent RCA SACD, but the HDTT DSD256 has more space and presence, the instrumental timbres are more analogue and the bass is tighter. But if you don’t have them, then it is well-worth complementing this with Heiftetz’s earlier 1935 studio version, conducted by a great Sibelian, Thomas Beecham (Pristine Classical), which is actually better, with a more improvisatory first movement and slower Adagio, where the attack and intensity of tone are off the scale. And there is an outstanding live version from March 1951 with the NYPO under another great, Dimitri Mitropoulos (Music & Arts), where again the Adagio is slower, you have all the tension that comes with a concert performance and the virtuosity is almost intimidatingly effortless.

Arguably the greatest performance now in most excellent sonics

Arguably the greatest performance of the Sibelius concerto in the catalog. It is certainly the most passionate and intense, with Heifetz delivering a superb interpretation and Hendl and the CSO providing wonderful (if not overly imaginative) accompaniment. Heifetz may arguably not surpass his original 1935 recording, but his "violin still sings, exults, blazes and dominates," as The Strad concludes. This has always been my benchmark recording and it's a pure joy to find it reissued in such excellent sonics by HDTT. It punches all my buttons for resolution, detail, dynamics, impact, dynamics... the list of superlative sonic characteristics just goes on. Lewis Layton's recording is, of course, beyond excellent. And now HDTT allows us to hear every nuance of the resolution Layton extracted from Orchestral Hall. I can't imagine anyone being the least disappointed by this release. I am ecstatic over it!
