The peerless artistry of Jascha Heifetz astounded all who heard him and compelled critics to invent new superlatives. This performance from September 1957 was an instant classic. Heifetz playing is otherworldly, the orchestra fiery and brilliant. And just wait until you hear the sound of this coming together of musical giants on XRCD2!
