4.0 out of 5 stars CENTENARY, 7 Jun 2003
By DAVID BRYSON (Glossop Derbyshire England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This is one of a projected Naxos series marking the centenary of Heifetz's birth, which was in 1901 according to the liner note.If this disc is anything to go by it should be an exciting series, and younger music-lovers not familiar with this great player have a marvellous opportunity to get to know him at such a modest price. These three concerto performances date from 1934, 1947 and 1939 respectively. They have been restored from the best available 78's by Mr Mark Obert-Thorn, and what a good job he has made of them. The thing that struck me more than anything else is that Heifetz's tone is fuller and richer than I used to associate with him, and how far this is down to Heifetz and how far to Mr Obert-Thorn I can't say. Obviously there are limits to even Mr Obert-Thorn's wizardry, and the orchestral sound in the Brahms is not awfully clear, but one should not be unreasonable. As those who know his work would expect, Heifetz does not hang around and tempi are on the brisk side throughout, which suits me for one, but there is plenty of romantic emotion in the Glazunov and the Bruch (for such a miserable cantankerous old blighter Bruch wrote some gorgeous music!) The Brahms is of unique interest because here Heifetz is partnered by Feuerman, cut down before he was quite 40. The cello is the senior partner by a small but distinct margin in this piece, and Heifetz just about concedes this. For all its difficulty it is not a virtuoso concerto, and I was fascinated to hear it done by artists whose temperaments were very much those of soloists not to say prima donnas. Comparisons with modern versions I take to be beside the point, which is presumably to hear this music specifically from Heifetz. However there is a very interesting near-contemporary version from team-players, the principals of Toscanini's orchestra, very much operating to the boss's directions (even a cellist called Frank Miller!). It is from 1948 and was recorded in the notorious Studio 8-H with its dry-as-a bone acoustic, and I found it very illuminating to play it straight after Heifetz and Feuerman. It makes Heifetz sound almost leisurely, but each performance highlights the virtues of the other for me. Be that as it may, the stature of the Heifetz/Feuerman account ought to be pretty clear without any comparisons. Of its kind this disc strikes me as outstanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars A stupendous bargain, 30 Jan 2001
By A Customer
Not only does this CD contain Heifetz's early dazzler of a Glazunov Concerto and a poetic and wonderfully played Scottish Fantasy but a flowing and deeply affecting performance of the Brahms Double with Feuermann.

The transfers are wonderful and one soon forgots the early recordings. At £5 a giveaway
