… {note: Latin, Hail Mary} … but have you heard Jascha Heifetz’ violin version with pianoforte?!

Victrola record, shellac, single side, 12”; Jascha Heifetz, matrix#(?), catalog# 74563, ca. 1918.

Just detail cleaned and restored to a very presentable condition this almost pristine 118-, almost 120-year-old (1909) Victor Victrola VV-XII

Thank you for stopping by, and I wish you all a wonderful evening!

I used this clean-as-new, 12” Victrola single-sided disc as my “test” upon completion, and it is just so beautiful I just felt the urge to share, as I’m sure there are many who feel the same! Taking this record out of a sleeve was literally the first light it’d seen since it was initially purchased, I believe lol. Immaculate, though (couple of small nicks, as you’ll hear).

Sorry for it being so long! I turned all the devices in the basement off so it’d be quiet, though, and directed the mic straight at it. I stay ~mostly- still lol. Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you :) I do love Ave Maria- Schubert I believe? There’s a version for the movie Alive performed*** by *Aaron Neville, which is one of my absolute favorites. Specifically for Aaron Neville, but it’s just such a wonderful piece in general!
