About Heifetz Showpieces

Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole is a riot of instrumental color and virtuoso challenges; exactly Jascha Heifetz's piece of cake, as are Saint-Saëns's Havanaise, Chausson's Poème and Sarasate's Zigeunerweise (Gypsy Tunes). The sound is pre-stereo but well detailed. One movement of the Lalo is left out, but there are plenty of fireworks in the four that remain. --Joe McLellan Amazon.com

rating: 5 QuoteCan't go wrong with Heifetz!Quote
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. August 24, 2008

rating: 1 Quotevery poor recordingQuote
Besides having to turn up the volume to the max just so I could hear the music. The background is full hiss and stratches May 25, 2007

Anything Heifetz ever recorded is sublime and this CD is no exception. January 3, 2007

rating: 5 QuoteOne of The Best Violin CDsQuote
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! November 6, 2005

Ok, great play by Heifetz but why is the "intermezzo" in Symph.Espagnole missing?? November 4, 2005
