Movie Reviews of Heifetz & Piatigorsky - Historic Performance Film Footage
Movie Review: 5 stars... for content only
Summary: 5 Stars
The video tape version looked and sounded at least as good, maybe a little better. Seems like no real attempt was made to get the most out of the sound or picture using the advantages of digital technology. Looks like Kultur just slapped it on DVD, cheaply and without adding an inch of new material. However, if you don't have it on tape, without consideration of my previous commentary, it's still an invaluable document of Heifetz and Piatigorsky in performance from in their prime.
