[78-L] Heifetz

[DanK]

None of my acoustic machines make electrical recordings sound acoustic, let 
alone the Orthophonic Victrolas,  used in this clip.
I notice that the label doesn't mention "Orthophonic", even though it is a 
'scroll' label.  It also shows Andre Benoist on the piano; in 1919, Samuel 
Chotzinoff replaced him.  Benoist wasn't accompanying Heifetz in the 
Orthophonic era, as far as I know.  So, this must be Heifetz's first 
recording of Lutins from 1918.

sounds acoustical

If they're playing the record pictured, (and there's no reason why they 
wouldn't be), it's not acoustic. It would sound acoustic because it's being 
played on an acoustic gramophone.
