A collection of virtuoso masterpieces that capture the concentration and intensity of Heifetz during his golden age.
This recording includes Saint-Saëns' masterpieces, centered around "Zigeunerweisen." The recording features a sharp tone and overwhelming control, allowing you to enjoy a masterpiece in which romance and drama coexist.
This album brings together Heifetz's signature technical pieces, creating an overwhelming sense of tension right from the opening "Zigeunerweisen." His ultra-precise bowing and explosive attack vividly accentuate the melodic pathos and dramatic development. The sharpness of the fast passages is otherworldly, while the softer notes reveal a surprisingly pure and transparent tone, emphasizing the lyricism of the work. The "Habanera" highlights the beauty of its symmetry, with minimal rhythmic fluctuations, while the "Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso" displays a brilliant construction building to a climax. This collection of masterful performances represents the quintessence of Heifetz's artistry, honing the appeal of Romantic masterpieces to the utmost.
