Jascha Heifetz - Beethoven: 'Kreutzer' Sonata

"…The Kreutzer presents enormous technical problems to a violinist…Heifetz rises to the task with his usual phenomenal skill; indeed, I doubt if there was, is, or ever will be another violinist capable of playing the Presto of the Kreutzer at this breakneck pace without dropping notes or fudging intonation…in sound improved over that of the excellent (albeit close-miked) John Pfeiffer/John Norman Shaded Dog original." Music = 5/5; Sonics = 4/5 – Jonathan Valin, The Absolute Sound, February 2008
