“

Jascha Heifetz was a Jewish Lithuanian-born American violin virtuoso who was born in 1901 and died in 1987. His father was a professional violinist who started to give him lessons when Heifetz was only three-years-old. He then went on to further studies and, when only six, was able to give a performance of the Mendelssohn Concerto. Kreisler, after accompanying the 12-year-old Heifetz at the piano in a performance of the Mendelssohn Concerto, said to all present, 'We may as well break our fiddles across our knees'. Heifetz visited much of Europe while still in his teens and, in April 1911, he performed in an outdoor concert in St. Petersburg before an audience of 25,000; there was such a sensational reaction that police officers needed to protect the young violinist after the concert. Heifetz performed with the Berlin Philharmonic In 1914. On October 27, 1917, Heifetz played for the first time in the United States at Carnegie Hall and became an immediate sensation. He became a US citizen in 1925. Heifetz made his first recordings in Russia during 1910-11. Shortly after his Carnegie Hall debut Heifetz made his first recordings for the Victor Talking Machine Company in the US. For several years in the 1930s Heifetz recorded primarily for HMV in the UK, because Victor had cut back on classical recordings during the Great Depression: many of the recordings here date from this time. His earliest recording in this set was made for The Victor Company in 1925 and the latest for EMI in 1949.

Is anyone else having trouble with some of these cue sheets? 1,2,3 and 6 cause my cue program to crash. 4 and 5 are fine.
