And I also thought that his tone was sweeter.
Now, I never heard Heifetz live, and a musician whose ears I trust told me that there were very few Heifetz recordings that sounded like the real Heifetz live.
So, I can only guess that there might have been some over-the-top spot mic'ing on the famous RCA recordings. Because the RCA orchestral recordings of the BSO from the 1950s do not sound over-cooked in the treble.
There's a British Glazunov Concerto recording I called attention to on my blog, which is night-and-day from his RCA stuff, both in tone and in tempo.
After considering Milstein and Menuhin, where I came out on Maestro Khachatryan was, "A more energized Oistrakh."
