Reviews :
The Heifetz/Piatigorsky Double Concerto is a fairly blistering account that reveals a youthful ardor residing in the aging Brahms. Again tempos are quick, with the two soloists being pushed seemingly to the limit yet still managing technically flawless performances. However, in this case the speed lends the music a breathless quality that (especially in the finale) somewhat shortchanges its harmonic nuance and rhythmic subtlety. Nevertheless, if it's unbridled virtuosity you want in this work, Heifetz and Piatigorsky fill the bill--especially as they're supported by an equally revved-up Alfred Wallenstein with the RCA Victor Symphony. The 1960 recording is considerably less warm and full than the Chicago sessions, but sounds decent
