    Product Details

    On her newest album, Spanish violinist María Dueñas celebrates the iconic violinist Jascha Heifetz, whose recorded legacy has long been a key influence on her.

    Both Korngold’s Violin Concerto and Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole, as well as an orchestral arrangement of Debussy’s La fille aux cheveux de lin were recorded with the orchestra at London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios. The album also features three other miniatures recorded in Berlin with pianist Itamar Golan: Léon Roques’ transcription of Debussy’s La plus que lente, and Heifetz’s own arrangements of the same composer’s La chevelure and Ponce’s Estrellita.

    Through his recordings, and notably the interpretations of Lalo and Korngold he set down in the early 1950s, it was the Lithuanian-born Jascha Heifetz (1901–87) who became a role model for Dueñas. A defining figure of the Golden Age of violinists, he was renowned for his technical virtuosity, molten sound and clarity of interpretation.
