- I'll venture out... I know many people like it, but I can't stand
- Heifetz's recording of the Beethoven concerto. He runs through it at
- lightning speed, as if playing the Tchaikovsky or somesuch. I can hear his
- technical and structural grasp of the piece, but it lacks spirit, warmth.
- Not that I want romanticized Beethoven, but compare with one of Grumiaux's
- recordings...
-
- Heifetz's Brahms is another matter.
