180g Audiophile Virgin Vinyl Pressed at Pallas in Germany! Cut at Emil Berliner Studio and Mastered from the Original Master Tapes of SWR Music!It is particularly instructive, following the terrific studio recordings of the concertos by Mendelssohn to hear the exciting live concert recording made in Stuttgart a few years later with the chief conductor of the RSO, Hans Muller-Kray (1959) and appreciate what a phenomenal violinist Johanna Martzy was, without any thought of grandstanding or pretension, always authentic, fully emphatic and with a select, cultivated taste. - from liner notes by Christoph Schluren''The young Ida Haendel was technically on top form in Stuttgart in 1953-55 when she broadcast the Mendelssohn Concerto under the baton of Hans Muller-Kray, her approach, as ever, sweet-toned, fiery... always her inimitable self.'' - The Gramophone MagazineFeatures:* 180g Audiophile Virgin Vinyl* Cut to lacquers at Emil Berliner Studio* Mastered from the original master tapes of SWR archives* Audiophile full analogue mastering by Rainer Maillard* Analogphonic release* Pressed at Pallas Gmbh in GermanyMusicians:Johanna Martzy, violinIda Haendel, violinRadio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart des SWRHans Muller-Kray, conductorSelections:Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847)Side A:Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 641.
