Description:

[Sony Classical Masterpieces Collection 1000] These are the masterpieces of classical music that have moved the world for 100 years! From Casals to Midori Goto, Sony Music's two major classical labels, Sony Classical and RCA RED SEAL, have a wide variety of classical masterpieces, classic discs, super discs, fixed discs, lost discs, odd discs, rare discs, and treasures, including new liner notes and some world/Japan first CD releases, at an astounding price! The series of two separate releases for 1,000 yen plus tax (1,500 yen plus tax for the 2-disc set) will continue in 2016. Heifetz, one of the most famous violinists of the 20th century, had a period of extreme inactivity from performing in his 60s, but at the age of 70, he made an appearance on a TV program in France to show the world that he was still going strong. This album couples the solo pieces recorded by RCA alongside the TV recording with the acclaimed "Scottish Fantasy" conducted by Sargent (this is the combination on the original LP). This is a collection of his best works, and you can enjoy the superb performance that astonished the audiences of the time. ◆Time Limited Edition (through the end of March 2018) / Liner notes / Recorded September 16, 1970 and May 15-22, 1961 / Recorded at Walthamstow Town Hall, Paris, London
