Comments

Equivalent release: Mercury MG-50442 (mono).

with original Mercury Living Presence inner sleeve.

RFR pressing: this is not the earliest RFR-1/1 copy. But it still plays fine. I'd like to listen to the RFR1/1 copy though.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Joseph Szigeti recorded a sort of sessions on Mercury label in his late career (in 1959 - although this LP is one of the 90400/50400 series, the recording was made much earlier). Most of his Mercury sessions captures how this virtuoso can play emotionally with slow/fast movements at will.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

8 out of 10
