Reviews:
"The Tchaikovsky offers some intensely vibrated tone, some Heifetz slides and some brilliant passagework. He too finds the “intimacy” that Joshua Bell sought in his latest recording of this work, unsuccessfully in my view, but of a wholly different kind. The drive here is dynamic, rhythms are sharply etched, and there is abundant sentiment and coruscating drama. A bit too much however toward the end of the first movement where Heifetz adds some of his own amendments to the solo part (I think it’s pure Heifetz, it could be Auer-Heifetz). The slow movement is effortlessly lyric and contoured and the finale is buoyant, brilliant and blistering but full too of the subtlest inflexions and accelerandi. My own preference however remains the 1935 Barbirolli for its greater degree of warmth.
I’ve not mentioned Reiner. He responds to Heifetz with sang froid and elevated professionalism, drawing out the lines of the Tchaikovsky slow movement for instance with great feeling and accommodating the fast tempi in the Brahms with nerveless control, even if he would, with another soloist, doubtless have relaxed and modified many of the tempi.” Jonathan Woolf, Musicweb
