CD Reviews

Another great recording of Heiftez
Andrew Kim | Penn Valley, PA United States | 02/14/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Having searched for Heifetz CD's, I quickly found the answer. Naxos has created a great recording with an inexpensive price. Although there are other recordings of the Tchaikovsky and Sibelius with Heifetz, the CD also includes a great performance of Wienawski. Being one of the earlier recodrings, it shows the musicality and maginificent technique of Heifetz. Even with its age, the music quality is still good and is still considered one of the greatest recordings of the Sibelius violin concert. This is a great CD to buy."
Tchaikovsky would be worth the price on his own

"With arguably the greatest violinist ever born, and certainly one of the finest violin concertos in Tchaivovsky's, the listener is assured magic. The second movement is absoloutely to die for, but the third takes a while to live up to the expectations you have by then. The Wieniawski concerto is moody and interpreted well, and Sibelius' violin concerto is also magnificent. But Tchaikovsky steals the show for me, hands down.As for the sound quality, it has that authentic, cosy glow to it that you only get with older records, and the slight fuzz is forgotten during the music playing."

"Beautifully played by Heifetz, these concertos are among the most well known for the violin. The Tchaikovsky concerto is definitely worth the money alone, and the Sibelius concerto is a keeper. Wieniawksi's concerto is also very beautifully played, this cd definitely worth the six bucks."
