Maria Duenas - Homage to Heifetz - LP

2LP, Recorded at Abbey Road Studios

Violinist Maria Duenas pays tribute to Jascha Heifetz alongside Gustavo Dudamel and the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela. "Having a role model is so important," says Duenas, "someone who is a constant source of inspiration." The program centers on Korngold's Violin Concerto and Lalo's Symphonie espagnole, recorded at London's legendary Abbey Road Studios, and closes with a set of miniatures including two Heifetz arrangements.
