5.0 out of 5 stars Heifetz sweeps away the sentimentality and revitalises Elgar, 17 May 2002
By Neil Ford "Neil" (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I prefer the revised version of the Walton concerto but here is Heiftetz revelling in this glitzy new work written for him by England's dashing new talent, William Walton.

The Elgar concerto sounds newly revitalised on this transfer. Heifetz loved the work and wanted to record it for a long time prior to finally getting into the studio with the excellent Sargent.

Its tough to know where to begin the praise, but suffice it to say, techincally and emotionally this is a performance to which no others can hold a candle. Heifetz is very faithful to Elgar's intentions, and refuses to dwell where others would grind to a halt. The concerto benefits from this no-nonsense approach and is all the more powerful an experience as a result. Heifetz should be forgiven for being a little too impatient in the cadenza but makes up for it by investing the closing bars with white hot virtuosity.

This is the interpretation of the Elgar which really stacks up, played with great affection and wisdom by the master violinist of last century.

5.0 out of 5 stars this wonderful performance, 6 Dec 2007
By P. Jenkins (w sussex, england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I strongly agree with 'Neil' about the Elgar. I've loved this composer for 35 years, but always found this work problematic. Performances by Menuhin, Kennedy, Zukermann/Slatkin (this last is disastrous) and others left me unconvinced. The famous Sammons is interpretatively excellent, but his champions ignore the serious intonation problems in the finale. Now at last I've heard Heifetz. I haven't always enjoyed his recordings, but his direct, yet sensitive - even loving - approach won me over. The slow movement had both me and my partner in tears, and I enjoyed the finale for the first time ever - what tone, what structural control, and what a technique!
