Hot Stamper Pressings Featuring the Violin
This is one of the pressings we’ve discovered with reversed polarity.
The orchestra is its typical shrill self. The cello and violin sound wonderful most of the time. When they really get going the sound can be a bit much. At moderate volumes the record is very enjoyable.
If I’m not mistaken, reversing your polarity will help the sound some.
This is a famous recording for having distortion and congestion in the louder orchestral passages. There is no such thing as a copy of this record that doesn’t have those problems as far as I know.
You listen to this record for the wonderful interplay between Heifetz and Piatigorsky and not much else.
