Description:

[Best Classics 100] It is no exaggeration to say that Heifetz popularized the Sibelius and Prokofiev No. 2 recordings, and his stereo re-recording of them is characterized by the elimination of stagnation and a unique, taut atmosphere. It is no wonder that it has reigned as the definitive recording for so many years, with its solemn, robust sound and dark passion in Sibelius, and its brightness and lyrical expression in Prokofiev! The beautifully polished Glazunov is also a masterpiece. Recorded at Orchestra Hall, Chicago; Symphony Hall, Boston; Civic Auditorium, Santa Monica, California
