The title “Jascha Heifetz: The Supreme” of Arkiv’s two-disc Artists of the Century collection, which ranges from Bach to Tchaikovsky to Gershwin, is absolutely accurate: Jascha Heifetz is often regarded as the greatest violinist who ever lived, but certainly of the 20th century—and beyond.

Comprising seven representative performances, the set from the RCA Victor Red Seal label includes five concertos in their finest renditions.
