"Could I speak to Mr Heifetz?"


This is priceless...tough love, or something, but certainly proves that Mr H neither minced his words nor lacked a rather deadpan sense of humour. Mad props to ace violinist Philippe Quint for the link.

As an attendee of several of Mr. Heifetz's parties, both as a cellist and as a date of one of his students, I am carried back in time through this surreptitiously recorded phone conversation. I would be even more pleased had I had not been cut off of the photo at 1'16" (I was playing a trio with him in his master class)!
