The professional collaboration and friendship between Salvatore Accardo and Giulio Cesare Ricci continues. The recording was made by Giulio Cesare Ricci in the splendid historical Sala del Gonfalone in Roma with very special acoustics. He used the legendary Neumann U47 and M49 tube microphones The mastering has been realized by Giulio Cesare Ricci using the Signoricci’s  analog and tube system. The Master was created by transferring the Analog Master realized with the Nagra 4s 15ips, 2 tracks, 1 / 4inch to dCS A/D Converter DSD. “As no editing has been made, all the tracks on this record are heard as they were performed” They are all pieces for violin and piano (on the piano Laura Manzini). Heiftez was a great violinist and as a composer he wrote great musical pages for violin and piano; all very catchy, fun, virtuoso and very dynamic “da salotto” compositions. Accompaniment was by pianist Laura Manzini.
