About

There is a broad consensus that Jascha Heifetz set a standard of violin playing that has yet to be surpassed. Fellow violinists have called him “the High Priest of our profession” (Carl Flesch), “the greatest violinistic influence since Paganini” (Ruggiero Ricci), “the Emperor” (Henryk Szeryng), “the King of us all” (Pinchas Zukerman), and “God” (Itzhak Perlman). His playing continues to inspire new generations of musicians.

This collection highlights the Heifetz magic by bringing together a broad cross-section of his stereo recordings. Sony Classical has remastered all of them from the original analogue tapes in 24 bit / 96 kHz technology to bring out their best sound and is also releasing a separate set of the complete remastered stereo recordings. All of the performances in this sampler set were recorded after 1956 — the last year that Heifetz embarked on an extensive concert tour. Although they capture the playing of his twilight years, the inimitable Heifetz standard is evident throughout.
