180g Vinyl LP Mixed from the Original Half-Inch 3 Track Masters by Meyer Media in New York, Mastered by Kevin Gray and Robert Pincus and Pressed at RTI!

Two friends, virtuosos without peer, get together in their living rooms to perform music by some of their favorite composers: Beethoven, Haydn, Rosza. Not for money or fame. For their friends. For each other. One day, they decide to put their favorite collaborations down on tape. Impex Records proudly presents this 180g vinyl LP pressing of the same uncompromising sonic and production standards of the artists themselves: Heifetz-Piatigorsky Concerts. Be one of a fortunate few who will possess the rewards of such an unmatched musical friendship. Impex's reissue was mixed from the original half inch 3 track masters by Meyer Media in New York and mastered by Kevin Gray and Robert Pincus and comes housed in an extra heavy jacket with tip on and UV gloss coating.

In the summer of 1961, violinist Jascha Heifetz and cellist Gregor Piatigorsky decided to share their musical experiences and pleasures with music lovers of the surrounding communities. They founded the Heifetz-Piatigorsky Concerts, an intimate series dedicated to chamber music masterpieces. Since then, concerts have been given not only in Hollywood but also in San Francisco and New York. Heifetz and Piatigorsky have invited such distinguished artists as William Primrose, Leon Fleischer and Jacob Lateiner to collaborate with them in concert and in recording.

"Abey Fonn of Impex and her mates obtained the original three-track analog tapes that were then mixed to two tracks by Andreas Meyer of Meyer Media. Kevin Gray of Cohearent Audio and Robert Pincus of Impex mastered the LP and SACD, with the LP pressed at RTI...The recording quality was among the best of the Concert series, with the players arrayed in a lifelike soundstage and the balance among the instruments nearly perfect. I'm not sure how many of the performances preserved in the 21-CD set were issued on vinyl, but none I've heard sounded better than the original pressing of this LP, and this reissue is significantly better still, with more body...Call me old-fashioned, but I appreciate the fact that the Beethoven trio takes up all of side one, so when it ends, your reverie is gently nudged by the swish of the stylus in the lead-out groove, instead of the beginning of an entirely new piece." - Dennis Davis, The Audio Beat, www.theaudiobeat.com, 4.5/5 Music, 4.5/5 Sound
