The choice – Mozart’s ‘Turkish’ Concerto K219 – was a strange one because, of all the works in his extensive repertoire, the Mozart concertos held the most terrors for him. Throughout his life Heifetz claimed that the Mozart and Beethoven concertos were the ‘most difficult to perform properly. And I’m talking technically too.’ The Mozart recording was made at Abbey Road Studios in February 1934 with the recently founded London Philharmonic and the 34-year-old John Barbirolli, just a year older than the violinist, and is the earliest of the three famous EMI recordings featured in this new compilation. The result was a great success, with Heifetz playing with ‘flair and elegance’ and Barbirolli providing ‘beautifully sprung accompaniments’.
