Novacek - Perpetuum mobile

January 27, 2004 at 10:50 AM · Greetings,

Adam, get the new Milstein DVD for an awesome performance. Then the young Menuhin recorded it beautifully (EMi 7243 5 65963 2 0 ). I imagineHeifetz knocked it off in his youth and that is probably definitve but I have not heard it from him for yonks,

Cheers,

Buri

January 28, 2004 at 06:49 AM · Buri I too agree that the Milstein DVD is excellent and there is a live recording of Heifetz playing the Novacek which I happen to have.
