  The MTT Files

  The Last Virtuoso

  Michael Tilson Thomas examines why Heifetz was so good and asks whether any violinist living today could ever hope to match his incredible technical ability and immense musicality. What's changed? What is virtuosity and why is it so hard to maintain? Featured is an interview/demonstration recorded on the stage of Davies Symphony Hall with Alexander Barantschik, the Concertmaster of the San Francisco Symphony, who now plays Heifetz's Guarnerius violin (American Public Media)
