Mendelssohn / Prokofieff / Tchaikovsky

On the TAS, Jascha Heifetz played the Mendelic E-Violin Violin Concerto, Prokofiev Violin Concerto and Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D major. Two-in-one version, two works are released in a single disc. Heifetz's influence is long-lasting. He is recognized as one of the greatest violinists in the world and has become the goal of the younger musicians, but few people have been able to surpass him. Behind the great achievements of Heifetz, in addition to his talent and hard work, he also paid a considerable price. He has been trained by hard and talented children since he was a child. He cannot grow up like a normal person, and his character is solitary and conservative.
