"One of the great things about Jascha Heifetz, " said violinist Aaron Rosand in a recent interview, "...is that, musically speaking, he always got straight to the point." Quite so...Jascha Heifetz was, for me and for most violinists I've spoken to, the greatest 20th-century exponent of his instrument...I don't necessarily mean, 'the greatest violin-playing musician'...or even 'the most lustrous-sounding violinist'... Heifetz represented a potent manifestation of music integrity combined with tonal and intonational purity, technical discipline, virtuosity and intellectual honesty. And yes he did invariably 'get straight to the point', whether in unaccompanied Bach...or in the countless miniatures that he infused with a wealth of wit and feeling, making Kurt Weill dance, Gershwin sing...in nostalgic reverie."
