DVD Reviews of Heifetz in Performance [DVD + CD]
DVD Review: Very good
Summary: 5 Stars
The sound and video were not out of synch on my copy either. Heifetz' comments between playing were invaluable to me. His playing was spectacular. He was the best. "Unfortunately" he may have known it. Towards the end of the thing, he said in effect that the ultimate was "to do a thing well or to know you're better than someone else..." That's a close quote if not exact. I don't know how I feel about that remark. He WAS "better than someone else," he was better than everyone else (my opinion), that's just a fact, still there's a flavor of sheer conceit and arrogance in it that bothers me. The author (forget his name now) put similar words in Mozart's mouth in "Amadeus." Apocryphal, to say the least. I like to think well of my heroes. Then I think of young Keats' dying comment, "I think I shall be among the English poets after my death." Sigh. No, I don't like Heifetz' remark. But the film was perfect, albeit too short. Heifetz' (other) comments were illuminating and interesting, good clear shots of his bowing and fingering were priceless. All the music was wonderful except that dreary Prokofiev march that every violinist thinks he has to include in his recital. I loved the DVD. I thought the CD of just the music from the movie was a bit superfluous, but now that I've played it, I'm glad it was included. Though I would gladly give it up for another hour of DVD.
