a hell of a performance. the poor violinist, so often suspected of merely showcasing his own brilliance but the spirit of this and many other pieces is often only really intelligible when heifetz performed them. this is singular. ferras also, and a more polished version by hirschorn. but this is a hurricane, armageddon on the violin

No other violinist will ever achieve Heifetz's magical perfection.

I can't think of anyone more suited to play this piece

Sound of God !!!
This is the best interpretation of tzigane ever! It's amazing how this recording, unlike all other great recordings ( oistrakh, vengerov etc...) this one you can hear every note clearly... Amazing...

Heifetz gets the maximum intensity and emotion without the histrionics. Compare with Vengerov. The difference between a great violinist and a good one.
