Hot Stamper Pressings Featuring the Violin
- Music of Old Russia finally returns to the site on this rare, hard to find original Blue Angel Stereo pressing with two INSANELY GOOD Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) sides
- To call this title hard to find with the right stampers is quite an understatement — our last shootout for the album took place in 2013 (!)
- Both of these sides are remarkably transparent, with huge amounts of space around the players, the unmistakable sonic hallmark of the properly mastered, properly pressed vintage analog LP
- This is one of the better violin showpiece albums we have ever offered on the site
This rare, hard to find original Blue Angel stereo pressing has exquisite sound. As we noted in our listing for Milstein’s Saint-Saens Third, it is the rare Heifetz album on Shaded Dog that can compete with it.
We would rank this Angel recording/pressing with the best of Rabin and Milstein on Capitol, as well as the wonderful Ricci and Campoli discs on London/Decca.
The transparency of both sides lets you “see” the orchestra clearly, without sacrificing richness or weight.
What a record! What a performance from Nathan Milstein.
