Heifetz and Munch perform the elegant Beethoven concerto
Jascha Heifetz performs Beethoven's only violin concerto with the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Charles Munch in this elegantly composed recording, with the precise performance creating a refined sound.
This recording is one of Jascha Heifetz's performances of Beethoven's concertos, and he brings together the flow of the movements, which combine technical demands with lyricism, with a crystalline approach. Conductor Charles Munch has built a wide repertoire through his work with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and has performed many concertos and symphonies beyond French works. This collaboration between the two remains a record characterized by a neat depiction of the structure of the works and a tense progression.
