Remembering Jascha Heifetz
Jascha Heifetz, a mortal, dared to play like a god--and succeeded. He was and is the inspiration and the despair of all violinists.
Maybe--though I doubt it--Paganini or Sarasate played as well, but for sure no one ever played better.
His recordings are his legacy and his testament.
We shall not see--or hear--his like again.
