Description:

[There are not many performances that can compare to either of these performances. For example, in the First Concerto, the violin's high pitched, yet clear resonance, the perfect trills, and the pitch of the notes running through the octaves are breathtaking. This performance of this richly romantic piece, which was performed in a very masterful manner, gave me goosebumps every time I heard it. Wuertin is also pressed by Heifetz's sense of form and perfect technique. ◇Blu-spec CD2 / Recording dates: May 14, 16, 1962; May 15, 22, 1961 / Location: Walthamstow Town Hall, London
