Carnegie Hall-1955-1956 Season 7 1/2" X 10 1/2"-22 pages-black and white-The Philharmonic Symphony Society Of New York-Jascah Heifetz-February 12,1956-Concert Program.Jascha Heifetz was the leading figure among the extraordinary group of Russian Jews who dominated violin playing in the second and third quarters of the twentieth century. As a technician he had no superior, and, of all the artists of his time and later, only two or three could even offer a challenge to his electrifying precision of execution. His diamond-point tone and quick vibrato afforded his playing a clarity of line that some felt was almost too perfect, even cold. Most conductors and other violinists -- and audiences -- felt differently and a Heifetz concert inevitably drew sell-out crowds.Heifetz' American debut took place at Carnegie Hall in 1917, eliciting such observations as "only the molten gold of Fritz Kreisler can be conjured up in comparison" (Herbert F. Peyser) and "He is a modern miracle" (Pitts Sanborn). The ensuing year brought triumph after triumph, with critics vying with each other to offer the most extravagant superlatives. A period of transition a few years later brought some critical reservations as Heifetz sought to move away from the overt emotionalism of his Russian training and become a more objective player. By the mid-1920s, however, a balance had been struck and once again accolades flew as critics and audiences noted a new, more mature approach to his music. Heifetz became an American citizen, settled in California, and enjoyed the benefit of a long-term recording contract with RCA, amassing a sizeable discography over the years. Throughout his career, Heifetz favored gut strings, perhaps to temper the fine-edged aggressiveness of his attack and the enormous strength of his bowing arm. Early recordings of concertos, made mostly overseas, were gradually redone -- though not supplanted -- with American orchestras and in improved sound. Nonetheless, many of the earlier releases, despite their having been done in short takes required by 78 discs, still compel attention for their unsurpassed mastery. This vintage concert program features many classical music-related articles,a short biography with photo of Jascha Heifetz and advertisements with Jascha Heifetz's photo. The Carnegie Hall concert program has been autographed on the front cover by Jascha Heifetz with a fountain pen in black.........BOTH PROGRAM AND AUTOGRAPH ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.PROGRAM HAS A VERTICAL CREASE ON FRONT COVER WHICH DOES NOT AFFECT AUTOGRAPH.....................
