A collection of Heifetz highlights that emphasize his virtuosity through a broad cross-section of his stereo recordings. All of the music has been remastered from the original analogue tapes to bring out their best sound. All of the performances in this highlights collection were recorded after 1956 – the last year that Heifetz embarked on an extensive tour. Although they capture the playing of his twilight years, the inimitable Heifetz standard is evident throughout.A collection of Heifetz highlights that emphasize his virtuosity through a broad cross-section of his stereo recordings.

Still the greatest! (IMHO)November 8, 2016By gwen t. (Culver City, CA)See All My Reviews"So happy that I bought this set! I have long been a Heifetz fan because he not only had superb technique, but he also had an innate musicality that is often missing in today's "technicians." The collection has a broad range of works that he was known for, so it's enjoyable for anyone who likes violin music.;"Report Abuse
