Bruch: Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor (with Mozart - Violin Concertos 4 & 5)

"The G minor Concerto finds Heifetz at his sweetest and most sympathetic, with even the incidental passagework shaped winningly. It is a lesson too that though the balance of the soloist is close, there is never any mistaking-as I fear there often is with Itzhak Perlman's even more marked preference for close balancing-whether or not the soloist is producing a genuine pianissimo. With Heifetz one fully registers the hush even from an instrument placed close, magically so in the slow movement." (Gramophone on the Bruch)
