Description:

Heifetz collaborated with Rainer and Munsch on a golden coupling of the "Men-Chai" concertos. Both concertos are renowned, and there are countless recordings of them, but Heifetz, as one of the world's greatest technicians, is a true masterpiece, with his perfectly fixed pitch, intelligent and sharp intempo construction, and yet not mechanical at all, with the restrained singing that overflows from between the lines. The backing is perfect, but this is a piece where you can enjoy the greatness of Heifetz. Sony Music
