Nathan Milstein - Masterpieces For Violin And Orchestra / Susskind (180g LP)

Violinist Nathan Milstein is backed by The Concert Arts Orchestra conducted by Walter Susskind for this recording of Violin and Orchestra masterpieces by Mozart, Beethoven, Wieniawski, Novacek, Stravinsky, and Saint-Saens.

Milstein Masterpieces has, since its first release in 1960, been a favorite among connoisseurs of violin recordings and classical music aficionados generally. Rare, premium condition copies command in excess of $500 on the pre-owned market, and to this day remain highly desirable and collectible.

Nathan Milstein's American debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1929 served notice throughout the nation that a young artist of special consequence had arrived. He was 25 that season, already a veteran of the European concert stage, and accolades. Master classes with Auer and Ysaye readied Milstein for a stellar career.

Analogue Productions has readied this superb reissue of Milstein Masterpieces for ultimate listening pleasure. We took the original analog tape to Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio for his mastering magic. The cut lacquers were plated and pressed onto 180-gram super-silent vinyl at Quality Record Pressings, makers of the world's finest-sounding LPs. No less than a heavyweight tip-on jacket from Stoughton Printing tops off the package.

The range of music presented on this collection — from the classical expression of Mozart to the salon civilities of Saint-Saens — confirms in permanent form what concert audiences heard and enjoyed for season after season.
