Notes:

A particular rarity are the three & half LP volumes Heifetz released under the pseudonym Joseph Hague (same initials) or Victor Belmor/Belmont, 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.
