The first ever collection of the complete RCA recordings of violinist Erick Friedman, Jascha Heifetz’s first student
Great concertos and sonatas plus encores in a 9-CD edition
The complete set of Bach’s Violin Sonatas for the first time on CD
He was the first person ever to study with the legendary Jascha Heifetz. The New York Times called him “a master violinist … with a distinctly personal and identifiable style of playing.” The authoritative string players’ magazine The Strad declared that his “virtuosity was staggering”. Erick Friedman, who died in 2004, is largely remembered today by string players and aficionados, yet he was regarded as one of the finest American-born violinists of the 20th century. Sony Classical’s new 9-CD box set is sure to trigger a revival of interest in this outstanding musician and his achievements in the recording studio.
Eric Friedman – Heifetz added the “k” so that his name would have 13 letters like “Jascha Heifetz” and “Fritz Kreisler” – was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1939. A child prodigy, he was accepted as a pupil of the illustrious Ivan Galamian at New York’s Juilliard School when he was 10. He made his professional début at 14 and his Carnegie Hall recital début at 17. Two years later – having also studied in the meantime with Nathan Milstein – he interrupted his concert career to move to Los Angeles as Heifetz’s first pupil. Over the next three years, he later stated, his playing was transformed while he gained invaluable insights into his teacher’s genius. Together in 1961 they made a spectacular recording of the Bach Double Violin Concerto in London (included in this set) – the only time Heifetz ever recorded a duet with another violinist.
Though he never completely emerged from his teacher’s shadow, Friedman went on to have a major career, and between 1962 and 1966 he followed up the success of the Bach Double Concerto recording with an impressive RCA discography. It is all here in this new reissue, including the Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn concertos (with Seiji Ozawa and the London Symphony Orchestra), the Prokofiev First Concerto (with Erich Leinsdorf and the Boston Symphony, never before released on CD), shorter showpieces by Paganini, Sarasate, Wieniawski, Saint-Saëns, as well as Friedman’s two Grammy-nominated recordings: the Franck and Debussy Violin Sonatas (with André Previn) and the Bach Violin Sonatas (with harpsichordist Bruce Prince-Joseph).
