Jascha Heifetz
Jascha Heifetz became a 20th-century standard for violin precision, brilliance, and controlled intensity. Born in the Russian Empire and later central to concert life in the USA, he recorded concertos, sonatas, transcriptions, and chamber music with a tone that made virtuosity seem almost impersonal. His repertory ranged from Bach and Mozart to Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, and modern composers.
