99.17.90.152
One of the great recorded performances of all time.
Follow Ups:
Never got to hear him in person. I think the Brahms was one of his first stereo recordings. Bought it in late 1959 when released, one of the first 4-track tapes in my collection. The tape has a somewhat hissy channel on Side 2, and I've had 3 copies of the tape all with same issue, so the problem is likely in the running master. But the performance and recording are excellent, and I still listen to the tape frequently.
Incidently, the earliest Epic duplications were in linen boxes, on beige-colored reels with pie-shaped labels, and with printed leaders attached.
He was one of the greats, and it is a tragedy that so much of his career was hurt by his problem with his right hand. Fortunately I was able to hear him in concert a few years ago at the University of Chicago.
My parents were big fans of him -- I think he had some sort of 'in residence' thing with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra way back when (mid 70s, IIRC), and they were season ticket holders for several years.
That's all I can remember at this late date -- and my parents are gone, as well. Interestingly, like Fleisher, my father was also born in '27.
all the best,
