All Music Guide

For what it is, this is the best there is. What it is is two discs of encores recorded in the mid-40s for American Decca by Jascha Heifetz, the man some would say was the greatest violin virtuoso of the 20th century. Every performances, every phrase, heck, every note is absolutely stunning, full of the kind of flash and brilliance and artistry you just don't hear anymore. This may sound like an absurd exaggeration but just try any track at random † they're all consistently amazing. Try the extravagant technique of Benjamin's "Jamaican Rumba" or the hilarious wit of Rossini's Figaro or the sentimental warmth of Berlin's "White Christmas" or the ingratiating nostalgia of Foster's "Old Folks at Home" or the deep blues of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess or the insouciant swing of Weill's "Mack the Knife" or exquisite sensuality of Chopin's Nocturne. Or try, if you dare, Heifetz's corny duet with Bing Crosby (!) on Löhr's incredibly hokey "Where My Caravan Has Rested" or the first ever release of Heifetz performing on the piano as "Jim Hoyl" his own lovely little pop song "When You Make Love to Me (Don't Play Make Believe)." While the sound throughout is vintage Second World War America, that is, rough, ready and winning, the performances are unfailingly staggering. Anyone who wants to find out what real virtuoso violin playing is all about is urged to try this set. James Leonard
