Beethoven Sonata No 5 "Spring" - I (Heifetz /Joseph Hague / Victor Belor, violin)
Beethoven Sonata No 5 "Spring" - 1st movement Heifetz/Joseph Hague/Victor Belor, violin; Lionel De Leon, piano Digitized by Patrick Wong from Medina Records MGJ 4713 Nov 2010 1st: https://youtu.be/bAhxRdnateE 2nd: https://youtu.be/Zv9RdSVnmeE 3rd: https://youtu.be/2UcnbeH9faA 4th: https://youtu.be/yZkwmAJolDE I think some people do not know the background of this recording. Some questioned me why I uploaded such terrible performing of this great sonata by Beethoven. Here is the story about this recording: A particular rarity are the three LP volumes Heifetz released under the pseudonym Joseph Hague (same initials), accompanied by either 'Floyd E. Sharp', or 'Lionel de Leon' (both thought to be the pianist Emanuel Bay). These recordings were made as a light-hearted gesture in the 1950s, and on them, Heifetz imitates a 'bad' violinist. They were not commercially released but seem to have been produced in small numbers as gifts to friends. Owing to their rarity, these LP records are highly valued and difficult to source.
