I picked this Tops LP up yesterday at the local Goodwill store. I immediately recognized that I had something special so I transferred the forty odd minutes, ran it through ClickRepair twice and crossed my fingers, hoping, rather praying, that this scratchy old thing would yield magic. And.......
....One magnificent recital by one of the most underated and unassuming artists of the 20th century. Recorded in 1957, though mono, it captures Bay at the right time, a 60+ year old man with mature insight, commanding technique and above all superb musicianship. It is no small wonder that Heifetz found such great satisfaction with Bay as a recital partner and collaborator.
I'm done "talking." Please listen, you'll be better for it! If Traumerei doesn't get to you....
