Miss Menges' name is now bracketed with 'Ernst, Vieuxtemps, Wieniaw- ski, Sarasate. There is only one young violinist of this age that can be compared to Isolde Menges and that ome is Heifetz, who was her fel- low-student in 'Russia. Heifetz is considered technically the superior ' of all violinists; but when it comes to interpretation, musicians and critips in Europe scy that Menges is the greatest of this age.
