	Jascha Heifetz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jascha Heifetz (February 2, 1901 – December 10, 1987) was a violinist.
		Heifetz was born into a Jewish family in Vilna in Lithuania, then a part of the Russian Empire.
		Heifetz was married twice, in 1928 to the silent motion picture actress Florence Vidor (ex-wife of King Vidor) whose seven year old daughter, Suzanne, Heifetz adopted.

	Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin by Jascha Heifetz at jsbach.org
		This Heifetz' performance can hardly be surpassed by any other violinist (as brilliant as he/she might be) because he was a perfectionist and possessed an outstanding command of the instrument what enabled him to play these pieces not only faithfully to the metronome but also displaying a show of interpretation and passion.
		The Heifetz recordings of J. Bach's Sonatas and Partitas appear to have been some of the early attempts of the "Direct to Disk" technology where the live recording signal was transferred directly to the record cutter, (probably an Ortofon) which became the record mold.
		Heifetz is fallaciously known for his superb technique, more correctly his pretension is to race through many of his performances at a blistering pace.

	Legendary Violinists. Jascha Heifetz
		His father, Ruben Heifetz, an able musician, taught him the rudiments of violin playing at a very early age; he then studied with Ilya Malkin at the Vilnius Music School, and played in public before he was 5 years old; at the age of 6, he played Mendelssohn's Concerto in Kovno.
		The Olympian quality of Heifetz's playing was unique in luminous transparency of texture, tonal perfection, and formal equilibrium of phrasing; he never allowed his artistic temperament to superimpose extraneous elements on the music; this inspired tranquillity led some critics to characterize his interpretations as impersonal and detached.
		Heifetz made numerous arrangements for violin of works by Bach, Vivaldi, and contemporary composers; his most famous transcription is "Hora Staccato" by Grigoraş Dinicu, made into a virtuoso piece by adroit ornamentation and rhythmic elaboration.

		Heifetz’s brilliant and exciting stereo versions of the most popular concertos are on a 5-disc set, awkwardly packaged in a flimsy cardboard sleeve containing a double and triple box.
		Heifetz recorded all ten and they comprise volume 16; earlier versions of #s 3, 8 and 9, the latter with Benno Moiseiwitsch, are on volumes 7 and 10.
		Heifetz provides definitive versions of youthful sonatas by Ferguson and Khachaturian (Karen, not the more famous Aram), both on volume 43; they’re pleasant and the latter is graced with a magnificent andante and a bounding finale; his accompanist in these is Lillian Steuber, a colleague when he taught at USC.

	Jascha Heifetz by Tim Page
		Heifetz’s first recording of the Sibelius concerto, with Sir Thomas Beecham and the London Philharmonic Orchestra—appropriately cool and sometimes stern, yet always deeply felt and even seductive—has long been the standard by which other performances were judged and found wanting.
		Heifetz’s command of his instrument is virtually flawless, of course, but he is not satisfied with mere athleticism.
		In general, Heifetz’s recordings of Beethoven’s ten sonatas for violin and piano are fleet, furious, charged with dramatic tension—“shot from guns,” as the old advertising slogan might have had it.

	Jascha Heifetz Historic rec.
		Heifetz advised the composer as the work was being written, insisting on plenty of "singable" melody for the soloist.
		Heifetz' recording made December 20, 1937 was his first big-scale RCA recording, aside from the ill-fated Sibelius concerto he recorded in December 1934 with Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra which was doomed: conductor and soloist could not agree on many factors; Heifetz insisted the masters be destroyed.
		Heifetz gave the American premiere of Prokofiev's Second with Koussevitzky in Boston December 17, 1937; the concerto was recorded three days later.

		This miscellaneous Heifetz collection brings together live performances from the 1940s and 1950s in which he is partnered either by the dutiful Emanuel Bay or by Donald Voorhees and the Bell Telephone Hour Orchestra.
		This is assuredly not the fault of either Voorhees, a solid musician, or of Heifetz himself but is reflective of the material on the Bell Telephone Hour, much of which has thankfully survived and for which we have cause to be grateful.
		There’s lots of winning rubato in the Elgar showpiece (he’d already recorded it twice by the 1940s) and succulent tone but once more a fairly horrific orchestration almost saps it of conviction, as is the case with the Paganini where there is a problem at the end with a sudden tiny one-channel dropout.

	JASCHA HEIFETZ Historic rec.
		Here is the first of the three recordings Heifetz made of the Tchaikovsky, recorded March 25, 1937 in England, his first recording of Wieniawski's Second Concerto, recorded March 18, 1935 in England, both with Barbirolli and the London Philharmonic.
		As Columbia had Rodzinski and the Clevelanders under contract and Heifetz was strictly RCA, the concerto was recorded in February 1941 with Eugene Goossens and the Cincinnati Symphony.
		Heifetz's gleaming tone sounds very natural, and there is little to suggest that these are from 78rpm originals.

		One thing that's very attractive about this recording is that Heifetz and Reiner do not indulge the tendency to cloying sweetness that is so common in interpretations of Tchaikovsky (who, I think, was really a much more substantial composer than he is usually credited with).
		Heifetz' precision and clarity on this one are remarkable.

		Heifetz preferred to play other kinds of music...but look at the video when he played the 24th Paganini caprice(Auer edition, with schumann accompaniment)...That is the ultimate high level violin playing.

	Talk:Jascha Heifetz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jascha Heifetz, the world's best-known violinist, had come to Israel to play music written by notorious German Nazi composers - including the head of the infamous Berlin Philharmonic, who personally organized annual concerts from 1933 to 1945 in honor of German Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
		Jascha Heifetz was a Jew who saw nothing wrong with playing German Nazi music - Heifetz insisted on playing the compositions of German Nazi Reich Music Chamber President Richard Strauss the official head of the Third Reich's music culture bureaucracy before and during the Holocaust.
		Heifetz did not play the Nazi music at his next performance and canceled his tour by running home to his luxury estate in Beverly Hills, California.

		In Wisdom's own words: "Heifetz participated in extensive tests to compare the relative values of original handmade violins [i.e., old and antique instruments] with those produced by modern and industrial methods.
		He reported that a modern $200.00 fiddle produced tones whose quality compared favorably [with that of the old instruments]." This, of course, was 1956.
