5 out of 5 stars A valediction from Heifetz.......1999-12-24

This CD contains one of the greatest performances of the best violinist of the 20th Century. Jascha Heifetz was 70 years old when he recorded this splendid version of Bach's Chaconne, into which he poured every ounce of musical insight he gained in his sixty-five years of playing the violin.

Unlike his 1952 recording of the work, which was studied and technically brilliant, Heifetz took a personal, Romantic approach in this recording. When a master such as Heifetz has a strong, clear vision of a work of this magnitude, the result can be astounding, as it is here. While the performance is somewhat outside the musical bounds of the Baroque era, this performance highlights the fact that Bach was a universal composer, whose music transcended the era in which he lived.

All lovers of violin music and aspiring violinists should own a copy of this CD and savor the musicianship and insights of Jascha Heifetz as expressed through the genius of J. S. Bach.
