The supreme form of the violin as depicted by the master Heifetz
Jascha Heifetz takes on Beethoven's difficult works in this recording, which shines with overwhelming technique and strict stylistic beauty.
His dialogue with the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Charles Munch in the concerto creates a high-level of artistic tension. Meanwhile, his close collaboration with Brooks Smith in the "Kreutzer" Sonata conveys the essence of chamber music. His crystalline tone beautifully embodies Beethoven's spiritual exaltation in this outstanding performance.
