One of the great 20th century violinists, at his best Heifetz played the concerto and sonata repertoire with a strong command of structure, minute attention to detail and an unequalled sensuous beauty of tone. Although Heifetz regarded the music of Mozart and Bach as integral to his repertoire, his style was grounded in a Romantic sensibility that sometimes courted controversy. Of the Mozart Concertos, Heifetz favoured the D major, K218 (recorded on Naxos 8.110941) and the A major, K219, which is heard on this re-issue in the second of three he made. Heifetz recorded the two Bach solo concertos only once. On these and his first recording of the Double Concerto, Heifetz’s playing (of both parts) is typically elegant and emotionally charged. |

Pavel Sporcl (violin) Prague Philharmonia “An exciting virtuoso confirms his Czech credentials in this superb release. Pavel Sporcl has established himself on disc as the most charismatic of young Czech violinists, spontaneously imaginitive and individual in everything he does.” Gramophone - Edward Greenfield “The texture has clarity and precision, and there is sufficient imagination at work to provide the freshness and sense of engagement a new recording of these ubiquitous pieces needs. ” Gramophone Magazine, June 2008 |

Kolja Blacher (violin), Christine Pichlmeier (violin), Lisa Stewart (violin) Cologne Chamber Orchestra, Helmut Muller-Bruhl "What you will hear is a performance and recording that is not unlike 'The Stokowski Sound.' Deep, rich and firm bass line, smooth strings and lushness around. The soloists are as romantic. The second movement of the double concerto is a love duet. It has a beauty that literally arrests you. Now, you simply must purchase this recording. It is just too beautiful not to hear."
