Can't go wrong with Heifetz! - Reviewed on 2008-08-24

This is another excellent collection of works by the famous Jascha Heifetz. As a music student, I listen to it to make sure my phrasing and interpretation are on the mark, as well as for pure enjoyment. But anyone will enjoy his performances. I'm happy that there are still productions of Heifetz's work and it was a great loss when he passed away.

Besides having to turn up the volume to the max just so I could hear the music. The background is full hiss and stratches

Anything Heifetz ever recorded is sublime and this CD is no exception.

One of The Best Violin CDs - Reviewed on 2005-11-06

2 customers found this review helpful, 1 did not.

If you could own only two classical violin CDs, this should be one of them! (The other is the Heifetz recording of the Tchaikovsky & Brahms violin concertos.)

Skip right past the first piece (Lalo), and you will enjoy violin music like liquid silver, with unbelievable passion, fireworks and virtuosity. This is Heifetz at his very best!

The Symphonie Espagnole performance is pedestrian. Neither Heifetz nor the orchestra quite catch the mood of the music. Buy the CD anyway! The rest of the music sets the standard for fine violin playing!

Where is the intermezzo? - Reviewed on 2005-11-04

Ok, great play by Heifetz but why is the "intermezzo" in Symph.Espagnole missing??
