Heifetz' style of playing suits the likes of Paganini and Wieniawski and he plays a bit too fastb in my opinion. Nonethlss, he is one of my favorites due to his impeccable technique and expression. His vibrato is quite nice and his trills! Like a birdsong.
Oh, I agree with you in that respect; I don't know a whole lot about Oistrakh or Stern's playing, but another player who I can feel emotinally is Menuhin. Another not-quite-so-popular person based on the feelings of the people I know, but I love how he just plays- it just sounds right...
