Discussion: Sibelius, Prokofiev, Glazunov: Violin Concertos - Heifetz

"I can think of half a dozen versions of the Sibelius I prefer."

"[I]n the case of the Sibelius Concerto ,I actually prefer the excellent recording and performance incidentally on the same instrument as Heifetz used,by Akiko Suwanai coupled with the Walton Violin Concerto."

I don't understand the poor assessment of this Sibelius Violin Concerto. I haven't heard the Suwanai, but Heifetz is great here.

I just find Heifetz performance rushed, he does not convey the drama.

And poor orchestra playing too under Hendl.
