Jascha Heifetz plays La Fille Aux Cheveux De Lin (The Girl with the Flaxen Hair), No. 8 of Preludes, Book I, by Debussy.
Acompanist: Emanuel Bay

I have another video of Heifetz playing this piece, but that's when he was around 70 years old, and it can be found here:

Personally, I think this is the most beautiful and touching performance of Heifetz ever recorded.

  • she must have been some dame

  • hmmmm beautiful. i also love the fact that it's crackling and hissing in the sound and that the sound quality isn't good, i LOVE that old feel to old recordings, because then you know if the music is truly played well and beautifully, if it shines through everything else :)
