\"\"<\/a>Profitant d’une m\u00e9t\u00e9o peu cl\u00e9mente ces derniers jours, je revisite \u00e0 l\u2019occasion de ces playlists estivales mon \u00ab fond de discoth\u00e8que \u00bb et celle de ce jour est consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 plusieurs concertos pour violon par celui qui fut surnomm\u00e9 l\u2019empereur du violon \u00bb, et dont ses confr\u00e8res disait notamment qu\u2019 \u00ab il a[vait] \u00e9tabli toutes les normes pour jouer du violon au XXe si\u00e8cle \u00bb et que \u00ab les objectifs qu\u2019il s\u2019\u00e9taient fix\u00e9s demeurent, et, pour les violonistes d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui, il est plut\u00f4t d\u00e9primant qu\u2019ils ne soient plus jamais compl\u00e8tement atteints \u00bb. J\u2019ai nomm\u00e9 Jasha Heifetz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

N\u00e9 en 1899 en Lituanie –alors russe<\/em>-, enfant prodige et r\u00e9put\u00e9 pour \u00eatre le plus ph\u00e9nom\u00e9nal des enfants prodiges de son temps –il fut admis dans la classe du r\u00e9put\u00e9 Leopold Auer, qui d\u00e9testait les enfants prodiges, \u00e0 9 ans et enregistra ses premiers disques \u00e0 10 ans<\/em>-, \u00e9migr\u00e9 tr\u00e8s t\u00f4t en Am\u00e9rique pour \u00e9chapper \u00e0 la r\u00e9volution et au r\u00e9gime sovi\u00e9tique, il d\u00e9buta tr\u00e8s jeune une carri\u00e8re de virtuose couronn\u00e9e d’un tel succ\u00e8s que Fritz Kreisler, sans doute le violoniste virtuose le plus r\u00e9put\u00e9 \u00e0 la fin du XIXe si\u00e8cle et au d\u00e9but du XXe, affirma que devant tant de g\u00e9nie, \u00ab\u00a0il n’avait plus qu’\u00e0 casser son instrument sur ses genoux\u00a0\u00bb… Sa carri\u00e8re, couronn\u00e9e d’un immense succ\u00e8s \u00e0 travers le monde entier, s’\u00e9tira jusqu’au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 60.
\nRichissime –il avait fond\u00e9 l’\u00e9ph\u00e9m\u00e8re \u00ab\u00a0One Million Dollars\u00a0\u00bb trio<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/em>-, r\u00e9put\u00e9 d’une extr\u00eame exigence avec les autres et plus encore avec lui m\u00eame, dot\u00e9 d’une personnalit\u00e9 complexe il est \u00e9galement r\u00e9put\u00e9 pour n’avoir jamais souri en public, et aucune photo ne le montre autrement qu’avec un visage aust\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

Les enregistrements de cette playlist –cliquer sur l’image pour la voir en plus grand<\/em>-, tous r\u00e9alis\u00e9s apr\u00e8s la seconde guerre mondiale pour RCA, b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient du savoir-faire de la firme \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque et s’av\u00e8rent tous tr\u00e8s convenables techniquement, avec cette particularit\u00e9 toutefois d’enregistrer le violon tr\u00e8s pr\u00e8s du microphone, comme le souhaitait Heifetz, sans que cela nuise au demeurant \u00e0 la lisibilit\u00e9 de l’orchestre. Les accompagnements vont du tout-venant un peu routinier \u00e0 l’excellent.<\/p>\n

La firme am\u00e9ricaine, \u00e0 travers ces enregistrements, contribua \u00e0 \u00e9tablir le mythe de l’infaillibilit\u00e9 du violoniste, \u00e0 l’instar du halo d’infaillibilit\u00e9 qui entourait Arturo Toscanini –autre artiste RCA<\/em>– \u00e0 la m\u00eame \u00e9poque. C’est, \u00e9videmment, un mythe !<\/p>\n
