Jascha Heifetz is widely regarded as one of the most influential violinists of the 20th century. For María Dueñas ‪@mariaduenasviolin‬ he has been a constant source of artistic inspiration since her childhood. With her new album Homage to Heifetz, she follows in his footsteps, placing at its core works closely tied to his legacy. For this signature piece Estrellita, Maria Dueñas was able to record on her predecessor’s own 1731 Stradivarius (the “Heifetz, Piel”), loaned to her for the occasion.

The album was recorded at London’s iconic Abbey Road Studios with Gustavo Dudamel—an important inspiration for Dueñas not only “as a phenomenal musician, but also as a wonderful human being”—and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra. The program includes, among other works, Korngold’s Violin Concerto and Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole, alongside miniatures by Debussy and Ponce that deliberately echo Heifetz’s tradition.

The result is a tribute that honors Heifetz’s legacy while also showcasing María Dueñas’s own distinctive artistic voice.
