5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD!, June 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Heifetz Rediscovered (Audio CD)

... The sound quality is just fine. If you have listened to any old recordings you will hear a little static. The playing is very audible and easy to listen to. Best of all, you get to hear never-before-released Heifetz recordings of the Grieg C minor Sonata, Brahms Sonata No. 1 and some other pieces by Wieniawski, Tchaikovsky, and Bach among others. If you want to hear some amazing Heifetz playing this is the CD to get.

3.0 out of 5 stars noise starting with track4, May 15, 2002

This review is from: Heifetz Rediscovered (Audio CD)

I enjoyed the first 3 tracks but after the 4th track, background
noise became worse and after 8th track, it is unbearable. Since
I opened the CD wrapper, I cannot return it. So let this be a lesson to future buyers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true master, June 7, 2002

This review is from: Heifetz Rediscovered (Audio CD)

This is a valueable insight into the development of a master. The playing is spectacular. Very violinistic in the true sense. We don't here this lushness anymore. To think his peers thought he was cold. They didn't have any idea how bitterly detached violin playing would come to be.

Saying that one can see why Heifetz suppressed some of this during his life. He only wanted to project perfection. Is interpretation of 6/4 time in the Brahms is just plain wrong.
