The Kresiler cadenza for the Brahms is, to this listener, more perfect than
any other, including the Joachim.  Another that comes close is Heifetz's
cadenza in his RCA recordig with Fritz Er, What'sisname (I just can't
remember today- -my mind is going- -) and the Chicago, and *that* one owes
a great deal to Kreisler, IMO!
