CD ReviewsThe Great Heifetz plays some (lesser known) greats Alexander C. Loney | Ann Arbor, MI USA | 01/30/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Perhaps no violinist (or even, perhaps, no musician) ever had the unique sense of musical phrasing that Heifetz had. His playing is both powerful and lyrical, virtuosic and subtle. I have only heard the Korngold concerto of these three in this version. (an old LP I found recently) The other two pieces I'm sure are worthwhile, having heard of them, but the Korngold is absolutely incredible. The second movement is sweet and light yet full of great pathos. The finale is dance-like and fiery. Some of the viruosic maneuvers (playing two different phrases with different rhythms while giving each its own line and dynamic change -- at the same time!) I have yet to hear the equal of. And the piece as a whole has something 20th century music too often lacks: melody. You cannot go wrong with this purchase." Simply Great Telstar | Los Angeles, Ca USA | 09/29/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is simply the greatest recording of the Rosza ever made. It is full of intensity and expressive nuance. I don't care what others say, this tops the Telarc recording. Rosza's concerto is one of his greatest works, and a much overlooked masterpiece.The Korngold, on the other hand, has its moments, but is mired in worn-out cliches. More Korn than Gold. The performance is also disappointing...there are several places where the soloist and orchestra are not in tempo (particularly the last movement).A recommended disc." Masterful performances Donald M. Campbell | Moultonborough, NH USA | 05/24/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Rózsa violin concerto is one of my favorite pieces and this is, beyond all doubt, the best recorded performance of this far-too-neglected work. I do have one quibble with Maestro Heifitz's performance: he rushes the central theme of the middle movement a bit; I would love to have heard him "sing" it a bit more, at a slighltly slower tempo -- a bit more tenderness and longing -- because it is such a moving melody.
The other pieces on this disc are also wonderful, especially the Korngold. I respectefully disagree with the earlier reviewer about the Korngold being too cliché and corny, but as the old Romans said, "De gustibus non disputandum est." If you are a Heifitz fan, or these three great masters of film music, you can't go wrong with this CD." |
