Magic Marmalade 14th May 2016



Magic Marmalade 13th May 2016		Review Simply Stunning. This is one of those occasions when you witness someone so talented at something it is both a in incredible experience to have, and yet they make you feel bad about yourself by virtue of the great gulf in ability that must exist between them and yourself... ..."Oh, what a waste of occupied volume I am!" Jascha Heifetz frequently appears in top tens of greatest violinists ever, where others may come and go, depending on who's compiling... but along with David Oistrakh, Fritz Kreisler and the like, there's a consensus around Heifetz that he is/was the genuine article... and this absolutely jaw dropping performance shows why. You know when someone has such a mastery of an instrument that at times it's difficult to tell what instrument they are playing? Well there is a moment here where you'd be hard pressed to say that it was not someone whistling in the highest register, and purest tone, rather than a violin. Musical clutz that I am, I don't really know my eggs from my onions in most things the way others do in classical circles, but then I don't need to know art to see there's something special, and totally out of the ordinary in Van Gogh's Sunflowers. This is a performance that you should look for if you want to hear what a violin is capable of. I was drawn to this because I felt I should have an RCA Red Seal in my collection somewhere, to see what the vinyl was up to, and they are justly regarded very highly, and the recording is superb too... very clear, and immediate. This is available as a "Living Stereo" too (If you've got the bucks for those issues - although this particular title won't break the bank), and it has to be said, the stereo would be preferable, but only for the sake of the supporting orchestra... who, while this gives the power of their contribution, doesn't give the dimensionality (Is that a word?), and breadth, which would enrich the whole thing.. ... but that's a minor thing really, as Heifetz Violin is front and centre, clear as a bell, and driving the whole affair. The orchestration - but for an occasional sweep, and passage, is just there for colouring really, and I could well believe they were as in awe of this performance when they were playing behind him as I was listening to it. (Cue Andy McDowell's legendary line :) from Four Weddings And A Funeral: "Is it raining?.... I hadn't noticed" - In that you will only be dimly aware of the orchestra anyway). 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
