Heifetz

Japanese: ハイフェッツ
Heifetz
A Russian-born American violinist. One of the most famous performers of the first half of the 20th century. Born in Vilnia, Lithuania (now Vilnius, then part of Russia), he was a child prodigy, performing publicly at the age of five. In 1910, he studied under Auer in St. Petersburg, and in 1912, he performed with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Nikisch in Berlin. The Russian Revolution broke out while he was in the United States, and he moved there. In 1925, he obtained U.S. citizenship. His precise technique and unbiased interpretation of works had a great influence on subsequent performance styles. He also enjoyed the music of his own time, commissioning Walton to perform the Violin Concerto. He is also famous for his Million Dollar Trio, which he formed with A. Rubinstein and Feuermann (later Piatigorsky). He first came to Japan in 1923.

ロシア出身の米国のバイオリン奏者。20世紀前半を代表する名演奏家の一人。リトアニアのビルニャ(現ビリニュス,当時ロシア領)で生まれ,5歳で公開演奏を行うなど神童として鳴らした。1910年ペテルブルグでアウアーに師事し,1912年ベルリンでニキシュ指揮のベルリン・フィルハーモニー管弦楽団と共演。渡米中ロシア革命が勃発し,そのまま米国に居を移す。1925年米国市民権を取得。正確無比な技巧と情緒に偏らない作品解釈でその後の演奏様式に与えた影響は大きい。ウォルトンに《バイオリン協奏曲》を委嘱するなど,同時代の音楽も好んで演奏した。A.ルビンステイン,フォイアマン(のちピアティゴルスキー)と組んだ〈100万ドル・トリオ〉も有名。1923年初来日。
