Classical Superstars: George Gershwin, Porgy and Bess, It Ain't Necessarily So (arranged by Heifetz)

Update: 2013-03-14

Description

Who needs belting sopranos and tubby tenors when you have the diva of the string section, the violin? No one could have done it better than the ultimate violinist, Jascha Heifetz. He rearranged hundreds of classical works, including pieces of opera, to show off his virtuosic playing.
