Jascha Heifetz plays Bruch
In this series of talks on Western classical music, Dr. Cavas Bilimoria takes listeners through musical concepts, the lives of composers and their famous works, interspersed with examples from recorded music. The first talk this month focuses on Jascha Heifetz playing Max Bruch`s Scottish Fantasy.
Heifetz championed this four-movement piece, based on Scottish folk tunes, throughout his illustrious career, performing it no less than 106 times. His laser-like intonation, blazing virtuosity, ravishing tone and lyrical phrasing, kept his audience mesmerised.
