海飛茲被視為是近代第一位且為最偉大的小提琴炫技演奏大師。而RCA唱片公司更給予他「世紀小提琴家」的封號。本套專輯是他立體聲時期演奏錄音完整集結出版，所有原始類比錄音也轉換為24-bit的數位格式。而研究海飛茲的權威專家John Maltese也特別為本套專輯撰寫全新的解說。絕對是樂迷不可或缺的套裝珍藏。

1901年在立陶宛出生，1987年逝世於加州洛杉磯。海飛茲三歲時由父親啟蒙學習小提琴。1910年，進入位在聖彼得堡的音樂學院師從奧爾（Leopold Auer）。1911年在聖彼得堡舉辦個人第一場公開音樂會。1917年10月17日，他在紐約卡內基音樂廳首度登台。從此征服世界樂壇，並開始為Victor唱片公司錄製專輯。並在40年後，又為RCA Victor唱片公司以立體聲的技術，重新錄製許多主流的重要小提琴曲目，1988年留聲機雜誌便在三月號的刊物上表示：這些錄音讓人「發現了海飛茲最強烈的光芒」…… 「而其後以CD格式發行的錄音，更建立起顛峰時期，海飛茲令人驚訝的三度空間立體聲」。

而據說克萊斯勒（Fritz Kreisler）在聽了只有十三歲的海飛茲（Jascha Heifetz, 1901-1987）演奏後曾表示：「我也許會懷著滿意的心情將自己的小提琴砸毀。」同時所有技巧派的演奏家也都被他給比下去了，自此以後小提琴家便不允許在台上拉錯一個音，而許多有關海飛玆的奇蹟自然也不斷湧現。海飛玆先天具有「不厭其煩地追求完美」的個性，他的成就世人有目共睹，但這並不是說從小學琴的人便會成為大師，而是印證了大師必須長時間專注於所學才能有成。長時間的演出正是他自我訓練的最好方法。

從年少起始，及至晚年，海飛茲都以無比精湛的技巧，為世人留下完美典範。專輯收錄了海飛茲立體聲時期所有的錄音作品，包含了協奏曲、獨奏與重奏，更包含了他在1972年10月23日於洛杉磯的最後現場演出。樂評Tim Page評論這場音樂會：「這場演出 – 無論計畫或執行 – 都與海飛茲幾十年前的演出無所不同。從一開始的法朗克奏鳴曲，便全神貫注、精神集中，與其呼吸分句直接連結，承載其一塵不染之貴族氣質 – 他確實正是這樣的一位藝術家……海飛茲的穩定性亦具有某些高貴的氣質。多數的演奏家在其演奏生涯中，少有人能夠貫徹如此一絲不茍的控制力 」。
