The legendary violinist Jascha Heifetz, whose dazzling virtuosity and spectacular brilliance contrasted so strikingly with his austere presence on the platform, is recalled by Jon Tolansky in conversation with violinist Haim Lazarov. There is also a rare memory of Heifetz from the distinguished soprano Carol Neblett, who was one of the very few people who knew him personally. In the program are recordings of Heifetz playing music by Brahms, Beethoven, Prokofiev, Glazunov, Sibelius, Walton, Tchaikovsky and Castelnuovo-Tedesco.
