Jascha Heifetz (v), Richard Ellsasser (org), Emanuel Bay, Brooks Smith (p)
Vitali?s Chaconne is almost as old as the violin
itself. Originally written for violin and figured
bass, it was rescued from oblivion by this German
violinist, Ferdinand David, who edited it for
violin and piano and published it in 1867; few
violinists since that time have omitted it from
their repertory. But we must confess to never
having heard Respighi?s transcription of it for
violin and organ. It is magnificent! Victor's
jacket notes states that this transcription ? ...
explores the technical possibilities of the violin
beyond the limits known in Vitali?s time.? But in
the hands of Heifetz, this display piece becomes
a thing of great beauty, and the depth of the
resplendent organ accompaniment makes the work
almost symphonic. Castelnuovo-Tedesco's 'The Lark'
is a first recording; although it is a pleasant
enough work, it may well be the last recording of
it. Many violinists have essayed Faure's Sonata
No. 1 on LP discs, and Heifetz? is as good as any,
better than most.?The New Records
