Vitali's Chaconne
An icon of violin mastery, Jascha Heifetz set new standards in performance during his lifetime. His grand noblesse survives him, his recordings continue to be important points of reference, digitally remastered with care and reverence. However, for a long time, the 1950’s performance of his memorable recording of Tomaso Antonio Vitali’s “Chaconne” was known primarily to the avid audiophile. My father, an accomplished violinist, showed me the recording when I first began to learn the piece as a child. It is with great pleasure and appreciation for that milestone recording of the 1950’s that organist Francesca Ajossa and I celebrate the release of our interpretation of Vitali’s “Chaconne”.
