| | Jascha Heifetz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Heifetz commissioned a number of pieces, perhaps most notably the Violin Concerto by Sir William Walton. | | | On his fourth tour to Israel in 1953, Heifetz included in his recitals the Violin Sonata by Richard Strauss. | | | At any rate, his father was the concertmaster of the Vilna Symphony Orchestra; and Jascha took up the violin when three years old. |

| | Jascha Heifetz Historic rec. |
| | 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 advised the composer as the work was being written, insisting on plenty of "singable" melody for the soloist. | | | Heifetz gave the American premiere of Prokofiev's Second with Koussevitzky in Boston December 17, 1937; the concerto was recorded three days later. |

| | Jascha Heifetz - The Violinist of the Century, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann |
| | Indeed, it seems fair to characterize Heifetz’s Beethoven sonatas as respectful of the music and its inherent dignity, focussing upon presenting the musical materials and detailing the musical logic, while leaving the listener to infer his or her own deeper thoughts. | | | 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. | | | They range from the lyric Poeme, which Heifetz plays without the accustomed schmaltz, to the wild frenzy of Gypsy Airs, in which he invokes the composer’s own astounding 1904 manic record (which can be heard on Opal CD 9851). |

| | Jascha Heifetz by Tim Page |
| | The performance—by Heifetz, William Primrose, and Emanuel Feuermann—is artful and lively (even though the tempos will sound stressed to latter-day listeners) but this is music that takes time to unfold, and the neglect of Mozart’s indicated repeats diminishes it. | | | Heifetz never recorded anything by Berg, Schoenberg, Webern, or Bartók; he played only minor works by Shostakovich, Milhaud, and Stravinsky; he may have been entirely unaware of the music of a newer generation of modernists. | | | In general, Heifetz’s recordings of Beethoven& 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. |

| | Floridian: 'No mortal should presume to play faultlessly' |
| | It is not farfetched to suggest that Jascha Heifetz, in his day, was a phenomenon like Elvis Presley or even, heaven forbid, Britney Spears. | | | Heifetz, whose centenary was this year (he was born in Vilna, Russia, on Feb. 2, 1901), is among the legendary fiddlers profiled in The Art of the Violin, a documentary airing Sunday afternoon on PBS's Great Performances. | | | For all the firepower he brought to the big concertos and sonatas, Heifetz was probably at his brilliant best in short encore pieces, many of which were his own violin transcriptions from piano music, songs, orchestra works and operas. |

| | Heifetz loved experimenting with the violin, and had a number of pieces written for him by composers who knew film scores as well as the concert platform. | | | He loved Hollywood, and his sound inspired an entire generation of studio violinists who can be heard in the MGM musicals of the late 40's, 50's and 60's. | | | Heifetz made many recordings of solo works, chamber pieces and concertos. |

| | For 83 of his 86 years, Jascha Heifetz (1901-87) played the violin, and for over 60 of them in front of audiences the length and breadth of the world. | | | Handling his students with steel-rod control tempered with humor, Heifetz instilled in them respect for discipline ("It's something you have to do, so you might as well do it and get it over with") and the ways and means for making music with the violin. | | | He even wrote a pop song under the pseudonym Jim Hoyl called "When You Make Love To Me (Don't Make Believe)," sung by Margaret Whiting. |

| | As for Milstein, he was Heifetz's musical peer and damn near as great a fiddler. | | | This is a multicultural "Scottish Fantasy," of its kind charming, but equaled and a couple of times surpassed in the five-and-a-half decades since, especially by Heifetz himself in 1961, when Sir Malcolm Sargent proved to be a persuasive and musically salubrious colleague. | | | The L.A. Phil was not then what it became under AndrÈ Previn, Carlo Maria Giulini, and currently Esa-Pekka Salonen. |

| | BBC - Classical Review - Jascha Heifetz, Heifetz Rediscovered |
| | Heifetz recorded an amazing quantity - and variety - of music, as anyone who's salivated over RCA's 65 cd Heifetz Collection will be able to tell you, from his first acoustic disc in Russia in 1911 to the last stereo session in 1972. | | | One curiosity that I can take or leave is the only known recording of Heifetz at the piano, with his accompanist Isador Achron in the Spanish song Valencia; completists only, I think. | | | As anyone who's heard Heifetz's other Brahms recordings can tell you, that certainly doesn't apply in Brahms. |

| | Jascha Heifetz (1899-1987) made his public debut at the Vilnius (Russia) Music School at the age of six, playing Medelssohn's Concerto on his violin. | | | Heifetz also made extensive transcriptions for violin by Bach, Vivaldi and contemporary composers and made hundreds of recordings. | | | None of Heifetz's children pursued a musical career, which was fine with their father who, according to a July 31, 1954 press biography, wanted "them to be happy, ordinary, blithe". |
