Heifetz played the premieres of both the Sibelius and Prokofiev concertos and long associated with all three of these works. The original recordings were made in l959 and l963 and have captivated audio buffs ever since their first release in the 60s, and on RCA CD reissues, Classic Records vinyl reissues, and the Sibelius on a recent JVC xrcd reissue.
I compared all of these (except for the original LPs which I don’t have). The Classic vinyl sounded very close to the SACD and in some ways the phantom center channel positioning of Heifetz was in better balance with the orchestra than the three-channel version - the same goes for the CD versions. Heifetz insisted on a rather prominent emphasis on his violin in the mix. However, the glorious silky timbre of his violin actually was more pleasing on either SACD layer than via the vinyl. It was pure pleasure to hear the highest notes of the instrument free from even the slightest digital distortions. The xrcd of the Sibelius suffered from a steely tone of the violin, as heard on the standard CD versions - and perhaps a bit worse due to the greater high end extension of the xrcd option. The orchestras also sounded rather amorphous in their placement of phantom center channel solo instruments other than the violin. With the two-channel SACD the instrumental placement was much more solid and accurate, and the general orchestral timbre was richer sounding. While there was no problem of a too-strong spotlighting of the violin on the two-channel xrcd, it sounded like two violins - one at each L & R speaker - whereas both SACD layers put the violin in dead center and only larger than life rather than morphed into two instruments. After sampling all three of these concertos repeatedly I now enjoy the tuneful Glazunov most of all; this concerto should be on more concert programs. It would be very well-received.
