Jean Sibelius Paavo Berglund Ormandy Barbirolli Nisula Heifetz
Sibelius: Violin Concerto, Heimo Haitto/Paavo Berglund/Finnish Radio S.O., 1964 restored 0:01 I 14:44 II 22:17 III Haitto's personal history is somewhat interesting. Born as a wunderkind to a musical railway engine driver's family in 1925, he was practically adopted at age 7 by the Armenian-born conductor and teacher Boris Sirpo and his wife, who had lost their own son in a railway yard accident, on the condition he dedicate himself entirely to music with Sirpo until he's 18. A Finnish film was made around his wunderkind presence in 1939, and a rehash of it later in the 1950s. Jean Sibelius called him up to personally thank him for his broadcast playing the concerto (pictured on my video). In 1940 he moved to the US featuring in concerts organized to raise money for Finland. He played with major orchestras under people such as Ormandy and Barbirolli. Haitto applied for US citizenship after he turned 18, and served in the Army Special Services playing broadcast and recorded music to the troops. He married his first wife Beverly LeBeck in 1945 and settled in Hollywood. A restless soul, he moved across the US playing with various orchestras, playing also as a soloist with the L.A. Philharmonic. In the 1950s he made several trips to Finland giving recitals. In 1962 he moved to Mexico, and in 1963 the couple divorced, Beverly citing Heimo's problems with his alcohol and gaming dependency. In 1963 Haitto returned to Finland, during which stay this recording was made. In 1964 he married his 2nd wife, 22-year old actress Marja-Liisa Nisula. However, in 1965, they were divorced, and Heimo moved to the US, again playing with various orchestras, in New York, trying to resettle with his 1st wife, and in Hawaii. In 1967 he made a radical decision to give it all up, and took up a hobo live travelling across the US doing odd jobs. He later considered it to have been a very educating experience mentally and spiritually. (Haitto had joined the Pentecostal church in the 1950s.) In 1976 he was married in Las Vegas for the 3rd time, to Eeva Vastari, who was a Finnish journalist and poet. He returned to Finland, relearned his playing, and played also as the soloist with the Helsinki Philharmonic. Haitto played in small orchestras and ensembles, taught, and wrote an autobiographical novel. In the 1990s his health began to falter and he and his wife moved to Spain, where he died in 1999. The performance here is I think a unique one. Haitto in general undertook an extremely hard practice regime, likened to Heifetz in that regard. However, unlike Heifetz, I think he's more personal. The second movement is realized as a unified continuing arch. The 3rd movement is a fast one, as Sibelius had intended / and which is currently slowing and slowing down in the current practice. The orchestra under Berglund is the way it should be, the counterforce and the support to the violin, instead of just tagging along aimlessly like many performances today unfortunately are. This was a powerful rendition which was a pleasure to repair and enhance. This 1964 recording was originally in mono, being a broadcast company recording. Art: Fanny Churnberg.
