Violin Concertos - Yehudi Menuhin (vinyl)

This classic LP of the Bach Concertos was recorded when Menuhin was in his early 40s and in his prime and the LP has been newly cut at EMI's Abbey Road Studios from the original stereo EMI Master Tapes. The Bach a minor and E minor Concertos were recorded at London's famous Kingsway Hall venue on the 7th & 8th of October 1958, and the Double Concerto (with the legendary French violinist Christian Ferras) recorded on 8 July 1959. Produced and engineered by Peter Andry and Robert Gooch. The album is pressed on 180 gram vinyl to audiophile standards and features the original album artwork. "The stereo balance is wonderfully successful, with Menuhin on the right in the solo concertos, so that he is the more clearly contrasted with the first violins, while in the double concerto the two players can be clearly differentiated all the time; in this sort of music stereo pays splendid dividends" - RF, Gramophone, June 1960.
