Richard,
Well, since you have my favorite author as your avatar.... 
I can't answer the first question, but I am able to provide some information (not necessarily a link, but perhaps some bibliographic data) with regard to the existence of a CD recording. I will be able to provide agency (library and other) holdings information for you tomorrow (see below).
There appear to be several LP recordings, but I realize you asked about the CD. Let me know if you want any info. on the LP recordings. I've been able to track down around a half dozen or so recordings. Some of these may only be available on LP. (The dates included in the bibliographic records often refer to the original release date, and not consistently to the transfer to CD date.)
Here is information for a couple of CD recordings. The second one below has Heifetz on the violin.
1) Violin concerto $h [sound recording] ; $b Sinfonia concertante / $c Miklós Rósza.
This one is distributed by: [Hong Kong]: $b Naxos, $c p2007. It was recorded Mar. 10-14, 2007, Studio 5, Russian State TV and Radio Company KULTURA, Moscow. The performers include Anastasia Khitruk, violin ; Andrey Tchekmazov, violoncello ; Russian Philharmonic Orchestra ; Dmitry Yablonsky, conductor.
Another CD contains the work you are looking for as well as three other works.
2) Concerto in D, op. 35 $h [sound recording] / $c Korngold. Concerto, op. 24 ; Sinfonia concertante, op. 29. II., Tema con variazioni / Rózsa. Carmen fantasy / Waxman.
It is distributed by New York, NY : $b RCA Victor Gold Seal, $c [1994], p1988. The works were recorded Jan. 10, 1953, Republic Studios Sound Stage 9, Hollywood (1st work); Mar. 27, 1956, State Fair Music Hall, Dallas (2nd work); Oct. 7, 1963, Scottish Rite Auditorium, Los Angeles (3rd work); and Nov. 8, 1946, Lotus Club, New York City (4th work). The performers are Jascha Heifetz, violin ; Gregor Piatigorsky, violoncello (3rd work) ; Los Angeles Philharmonic, Alfred Wallenstein, conductor (1st work) ; Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Walter Hendl, conductor (2nd work) ; RCA Victor Symphony, Donald Voorhees, conductor (4th work).
Re: my 'see below' reference--
Tomorrow, if you like, I will look into this further, as my dial-up from home does not allow me to access information as quickly as if I were at work.
Incidentally, there is a study of the Concerto (if you're interested). It is entitled: "A Study of Miklos Rozsa's Violin Concerto, op. 24" by Jack B. Gallagher ([Ithaca, N.Y.]: s.n., $c 1975, c1973). It is Part II of a master's thesis (M.F.A.) completed at Cornell University, August, 1975.
