Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars a milestone in violin history, in a splendid reissue.......1999-09-30

pops and hisses abound on these reissues of Heifetz's first performances put to vinyl, but don't let the insufficiency in recording technology distract you from the glorious fiddling in this collection. at sixteen, heifetz commanded a technical facility that equals (some might argue that it betters) the best playing today. more significantly, this is highly intelligent playing, guided by a rare expressive spirit and a fully mature musical mind. this is the recording that put several pieces firmly out of the violin repertory out of doubts of ever being equalled, and is required listening for those who refuse to succumb to the temptation of mistaking production value for true musical content.
