Wonderful playing. (I'm wondering about his raincoat style, though.)

The whole thing was funny, but when he did those pizz. chords, he got me :-)

He is as funny as that Swedish pianist viktor Borge!

they who laugh, don‘t understand that he’s mimicking them. 😂

Was he playing a Fagnola violin?

This is the time when Heifetz deserves a dislike bar.

Bro still can't hide his excellent technique!

Prime Kavakos!

This is the first movement, "Obsession" (just the title of the movement, not of the whole sonata)

Molti violinisti nemmeno così arriveranno a suonarlo ...

Wow jeez, I have recently been obsessed with Ysaye listening to many different artists. I have never heard this movement played like this, even Hahn. So musical and powerful, I can't even find words to describe it. I really thought at some point he would break a string or the violin would fall apart. I first heard him in a TwoSet video playing the Paganini 5th with such speed it was inhuman. He is one of the most unknown great violinists we have and I am happy to see he has a channel. Would love for some record label to give him a contract, all the Ysaye sonatas and all the Bach would be nice.

Nobody plays Ysaye that level!!

He's too marvelous for words!

Hello, where's 2nd mvt?

Spectacular performer!

fack

Как будто посмотрела немое кино с. Чарли. Чаплиным! Музыканты улыбаются.😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

My 16th runs be like:

It's things like these that obliterate my self-esteem ;-; paganini reincarnated istg

The orchestra could've played better by being more in sync with one another.

LMAO

Por favor nunca levanten este video ...perdón pero me enseña muchísimo más q cualquier maestro desde Las tse o Confucio hasta la actualidad ...primavera 2022 en Argentina y su muerte fue en la primavera argentina de 1989

Uramisten ilyen is van nem hiszek a fülemnek Tulajdonképpen egy ekkora hegedűművész A világ legjobbja lehetetlenség hogy tudta így megoldani

If anyone doesn’t know, the piece is Mozart violin concerto 3

オーマイガー!!

How he can hold his emotionless face is beyond me

Buster Keaton on the violin

Imagine being that student auditioning and seeing this youtube video all these years later and knowing that Heifetz secretely roasted you to everyone.

This is actually quite normal. Rare, but normal. Everything normal, especially if accidental should not be criticized; that is the matter of proper education, basic intelligence and good manners.

the original shred! love it

I know one concertmaster playing more or less this way 😆😆😆

This happened to me during an international competition in the first round while i was playing a piece from Bach xD (Still got to the 2nd round but that was a bit of a shock for me, haha)

Fucking good!!

truly constructed in an unorthodox manner

Thank you KZbin for recomending this for me!!!!!!!!!

Dont show that to small children

Actually you don't listen Kavakos' playing but composer's voice and message directly.. That makes Kavakos one of the most important soloists ever!

being a great instrumentist does not mean that you are also a great person ,,,,,,,,,,,discusting act for his age ,,,,,,, he was not 18 on that video

His violin sings it's incredible

best performance of this piece!

Frankly ...he's naughty...wunderbar

Hearing Heifetz play out of tune, with crappy vibrato and poor finger and bow technique is literally unbelievable. And very funny. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

Phenomenal ...

Just imagine how much practice went into creating this. A perfectionist even in comedy!

Most of us violinists agree that Heifetz recorded the best version of Vieuxtemps 4 in history. And here he doesn’t just imitate a bad player - he points out every mistake possible in a very profound way actually, which is very hard to do. Humor aside, to be the best performer of the piece and then doing this is simply next level 😎

He's absolutely serious---very good humor!.... To need study by "everybody 's" mistakes "....

Actually, it turns out that there was nothing wrong with his E string, it was his other three strings and the entire orchestra that were out of tune!!

OMG

THAT'S HOW I PLAY TODAY! LOL!
