“…it’s impressive stuff. Heifetz's playing exudes beauty of tone, a striking range of light and shade, depths of emotion, and dazzling virtuosity. There's timeless artistry here, and the astonishing immediacy of the transfers, for which DG have added "discreet stereo ambience", makes nonsense of the age of the recordings.” Gramophone Magazine, November 2006 | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |
