Heifetz has rarely been well served with recorded sound. This is my remastering of the RCA Victor recording.

this is actually really good i wonder why its not more famous

[@MrInterestingthings]

We are lucky to have this and Oistrakh too and Kogan recorded many violin concerti and Sonatas rarely heard on today's programs . The Pancho Vladigerov 1st concerto is worth hearing !

Heifetz only is perfect for this concerto, unlikely Castelnuovo-Tedesco isn't known from many violinists. I love this concerto and Heifetz is my favourite violinist. Thank you to have uploaded it

[@sma1968]

Violinists in the know, know it.
Dare I say, I may prefer this concerto to Korngold’s concerto?!

[@jerryshapiro3402]

I have only listened to this for a few minutes. I will be back to listen to the rest of this interesting composition

Amazing!!!!!!

[@federicozimerman8167]

Great work, it sounds very much like a sinfonia concertante.

[@loschicosdel0472]

Increíble

[@dionexxv]

Fue hecho para Heifetz, esa manera tan hipnotica de tocar inigualable. Este concierto me parece como si fuera un poema sinfonico como el de sheherazade. Yo tenia este disco pero con los años desaparecio, por lo menos lo puedo volver a escuchar aqui ya que es muy difici de conseguir.

[@bensilverman9105]

Excellent piece, and the sound is just fine! Did Heifetz know the composer personally?

[@DonDiego256]

Yes. Heifetz helped Castelnuovo-Tedesco escape fascist Italy and helped him get a job (with MGM Studios) once he arrived in Los Angeles.

[@libelle176]

Yes
