Negative Positive
Title: A collector's item
Review: I have both the vinyl(mono) & CD. I have heard this recording countless times and I am still not tired of it. Heifetz played this piece to perfection. I don't have say anymore about his impeccable technique. He takes a fast tempo and captures the mood, especially in the 3rd movement. He doesn't take the usual 1st repeat in the 1st movement, but not much is lost. Fritz Reiner & CSO accompanied him well. By the way, his teacher was Leopold Auer, the great Russian violinist who knew Tschaikowsky and initially said this work to be unplayable.
