About

Jascha Heifetz recorded J. S. Bach’s six sonatas and partitas for violin in 1952. Although he had been making records since 1917, it was not until 35 years later that he committed his interpretations of these masterpieces to disc. The Russian violinist’s long-awaited traversal of these works were greeted with unanimous praise upon their release, and Gramophone magazine described Heifetz’s legendary performances as “practically as good as the music itself ”. Restored from pristine copies of the original LPs, these legendary performances display a clarity and presence that can only be described as revelatory. Also included in this 2-CD set are Heifetz’s only recordings of J. S. Bach’s two solo violin concertos, accompanied by the Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by Alfred Wallenstein.
