Is curious as Heifetz tends to play everything faster, but this time he didn't and sounds so musical as you mention, admirable.

Lovely. Any anecdotes?

@@pneron2032 Yes, there are several I can remember. These are all from memory, of things told to me long ago. My father first worked with Heifetz, as a member of the Philharmonic when Heifetz played the Mozart A major violin concerto, in 1947 At the rehearsal, he was surprised the Heifetz didn't play with the intensity and excitement he had heard on recordings. But, at the performances, it all changed,. He did play as he had heard him on recordings. On another occasion, when Heifetz was back stage in the dressing room, just before playing the Korngold concerto, there was the sound of someone practicing with a very slow, almost too wide, vibrato. Some of the violins thought is was someone in the orchestra, who was a known "character" playing outside the door of the dressing room. "Get, so and so, away from there" or something similar was said. When they got there, they realized it was Heifetz himself warming up in some way. At one of Heifetz's concerts at Carnegie with the orchestra, the audience was applauding and applauding at the end. After several bows, as Heifetz walked past the first violin section an orchestra member looked up at him and said "not bad" Heifetz looked at him for a moment, and then laughed as he realized it was a joke. Or at least smiled. I have a few more, but space is limited

@@nidurnevets As a huge Heifetz fan, you've really made my day. If you ever get time, keep them coming. Maybe you should record them online somewhere (his website has an "anecdotes" section)? It's real history that you have. 😊

@@pneron2032 I remember a story from when I was probably about 15. That was years ago. My father was not only a fine violinist, he was also a good pianist. The violinist Erica Morini, one of the only well-known women violinists of her time, and the principal cellist of the Philharmonic, in those days, Laslo Varga, were going to play the Brahms Double with the Philharmonic. My father was brought in to accompany them at the rehearsal for the concert, which was held at Morini's apartment in NYC. . I was invited to listen to the rehearsal. At one point, probably when they took a break, she told a story about Heifetz. She said that at a Christmas Holiday party he stood on a step stool, or something, in order to hang a decoration from a ceiling lamp, or something like that. He lost his balance and fell. She said that he had the presence of mind to pull his hands out of the way and he took the brunt of the fall on the rest of his body, rather than breaking the fall with his hands and risking injury to them. It was seen as an example of how self-disciplined and determined he was as a person. That was my impression as to why she told that story. This is also from long ago, as I remember it.

Sorry , they can't do it, they are one step under heifetz¡

With a viola, they did

Pearlman and Zukerman....best of the best playing Passacaglia

@@galoeduardodelpozoroman66 Definitely not

Indeed. 😂

Meh I heard he wasn't a great teacher. Amazing violinist at least

​@@sculean Well, there are videos of his USC courses. Judge for yourself. He wasn't interested in the basics. I think great teachers aren't necessarily great for everyone, at least some of it depends on the relationship between teacher & student.

Perlman / Zukerman ??

@@raoultak Nope , just Heifetz Piatigorsky, simply an uncomparable duo

Handeld

+Stone Jiahao Yu This song turned me into an astronaut bamboo diesel sputnik.

yes, very beautiful. Touch the heaven.

My friend, it is beautiful, but it has nothing to do with baroque. The only baroque element is the beginning, the rest is written by Halvorsen.

Arash Tavassoli it’s not an accompaniment as it is a duet, but I do agree with you - the version with a viola is better

The world's best..both of them

A time when people weren’t trying to be fancy. Simple and beautiful

Perfect the old russian bow hold, gain perfect control over your bowing and intonation. Play with a high elbow, and almost most important, play fast like all hell. Perfection cannot come from imitation, you must strive for it always in your own struggle.

@Gabriel Du Pré So took my son to study music in Moscow. Couldn’t do it this year.

Stern wasn't the violinist that Heifetz was. No comparison.

@Gabriel Du Pré His son is trash too!

의견에 동의합니다^^^

I think ,not only speed,becose music is so beutieful!:)

He is astounding throughout

Because there is just voice no video.

HE says: tone deaf.
