“The chief glory of the evening was hearing Renee
Fleming, the Straussian soprano par excellence,
making her role debut as Ariadne... As the
possessor of what is, possibly, the most beautiful
soprano voice in the world, she put her vocal
treasures in the service of an empathic, nuanced
interpretation of the role. From the creamy top,
through a rich, warm middle, to the bewitching,
darker colors of her lower register, Fleming poured
her magnificent sound into Strauss’s enchanting
melodic arcs, animating the sadness, vulnerability
and desire of the bereft princess” -Frankfurter

The renowned artists, violinist Jascha Heifetz and cellist Gregor Piatigorsky, joined
forces in 1949 at Chicago’s Ravinia Festival. Twelve years later, and now good friends,
both artists were in semi-retirement from the concert stage, yet enjoyed their evenings
of chamber music with friends. Here they conceived The Heifetz-Piatigorsky Concerts
as a way to share their love of chamber music with the public. They aimed to present repertoire not often
heard in concert and then record them. This first ever complete collection of The Heifetz-Piatigorsky
Concerts includes 21 CDs, packaged in mini-sleeves with the original album artwork and features a new
introduction by Heifetz expert John Maltese.
