All the great violinists of the 20th century and of our time have made a point of recording Tchaikovsky's Opus 35, some even multiple times. The comparison, therefore, is at the highest level and cannot be exclusive.

Since Paganini, there has not been such a magician on the violin, a musical "prodigy" who set the standards for nearly a century. Leader of several generations of musicians, Itzhak Perlman said about Heifetz in an interview: "When I spoke to him, I thought: I can't believe it, I am talking to God!"
