Tchaikovsky / Mendelssohn: Concertos: Heifetz, Reiner, Munch
The Tchaikovsky offers dazzling technical challenges and heart-on-sleeve emotional ups and downs. The Mendelssohn is Olympian, cool, beautifully formed--music that is immediately recognizable as the work of the composer who produced the magicalMidsummer Night's Dreammusic. Jascha Heifetz is equally at home with Tchaikovsky's fervor and Mendelssohn's calm.--Joe McLellan
