God’s Fiddler - Jascha Heifetz
USA 2011 | 88 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

Not since Paganini had there been such a magician on the violin. In this revealing documentary about the legendary musician we see vintage filmed performance clips of Jascha Heifetz and learn that he was the first truly modern violin virtuoso. This insightful film portrays an artist for whom only perfection would do, a musical wunderkind who went on to set the standards for nearly a century. We get to know Jascha Heifetz (1901-1987) through home movies and personal family photos, a prestigious concert artist so well known in popular culture. Is the man and the artist the same person? What is the price each pays? And who was the man behind the music?
