Remastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound from the original analog 3-track tapes!
RCA Living Stereo classical LPs - the gold standard for top quality orchestral performance and sound!
This 1958 3-track recording has Heifetz teamed up with Munch and the Boston Symphony. Cutting the lacquer directly from the original session master tapes has increased the transparency and 3-dimensional imaging on this reissue over original pressings.
The performance, as always with the last century's top violinist, is almost without compare. If you have an original copy (white or shaded) you'll be shocked — this reissue has diaphanously beautiful string tone, superior low end dynamics and very deep bass.

I'd have to say that the usual stumbling blocks have been sidestepped.
Great care has been taken to do the right things, starting with the way the decision to remaster these RCAs was made."
