Aaron Rosand plays the Scottish Fantasy by Bruch (w. piano accompaniment)

[@2000VIOLINO]

Rosand played very well, until old age, in this video he was 74 years old. Excellent technique and musicality. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@JustFiddler]

he is amazing!

[@BenjiOrthopedic]

And that came from having a really regimented practice routine that he undoubtedly held to until very late in life. He played a lot of scales and arpeggios. Not that doing so works for everyone but it worked for him!

[@gnatural]

This is an understatement . It’s fantastic playing . Few can make the piece sing like this . can only count on one hand how many violinist had the tone and musicality to do this piece justice

[@rogerroth9536]

What a great player! And Robbins, too. A joy to listen to. Gorgeous violin.

[@Alejandroramirez-lw6em]

My orchestra, "Orquesta Sinfónica de Venezuela" accompanied Mr. Rosand in the '70s when he was in his summit. Such elegance, entonation and style was magnificent. I had the immense pleasure of visiting him at the Hilton hotel he was staying at in company of two friends and he delighted us during two straight hours with excerpts of all imaginable works for the violin. No doubt, he is one of the great violinists of our time. Standing ovation for such an artist! 👏👏👏

[@powerofalto]

That sound, though! The unbelievable use of bow, the virtuosity of the left hand-double stops!-and the commanding, deeply charismatic interpretation. No fuss, no muss stage presence. I’m SO glad to have found this video because the video documentation of Rostand is relatively limited.

[@BenjiOrthopedic]

Just in case anyone's interested, the tunes of each movement are: I. Intro (original writing of Bruch) and then the development is "Auld Rob Morris" II. "Aye the Dusty Miller" III. "I'm a'Doun for Lack o' Johnny" IV. "Scots Wha Hae" - funny that Bruch chose this one for the (by far) most difficult movement.

[@gsm2424]

Aaron Rosand and Szeryng - both had what I like to call: "The Golden Tone". Mr.Robbins is an excellent pianist too. Skyler White does also turn pages extremely well lol. Thanks for this upload.

[@Prodigium123]

🤣🤣🤣 hahaha well done Skyler

[@samuelallan7452]

What a sound!!

[@knoy0799]

Astonishing and enjoyable performance

[@violinhunter2]

We are hearing the heart and soul of an artist, not just the veneer of a piece of music. Bravo!!!

[@fredhainen]

What a gem this recording is. Many find violinist probably never get to play this with an orchestra. This is a great example of how it does being with a good pianist.

[@unvioloniste]

I also miss the days when violinists played concertos with piano for their VIOLIN recitals.

[@joefagan9335]

@@unvioloniste I prefer many violin concerti with just piano!

[@stradineri]

great greeeeaaat master, love him, he will surpass many other great violinists through the times, he is a ever glowing star....fantastic, one of the very very few violinists with a true personal tone, a phenomenal steadiness of technique, masterful....

[@muken48]

.....Rosand's violin virtuosity withstood the test of time.

[@JuanMartinezPlacerez]

Maravillosa interpretación del Excepcional Violinista .

[@violinbuff3782]

Gorgeous! No-one today can play like this! Beautiful piano playing as well! Eric Shumsky.

[@unvioloniste]

Hello Mr. Shumsky! Thanks for your nice comment. It's great to find you here. I'm a long-time admirer of your father. I have many of his CDs (including violin-viola duo with you).

[@bradykelso8682]

One of the greats!

[@nickyork8901]

Wow, what a fantastic, individual, and beautiful sound. He was famous for this but I have never seen him in video to appreciate it.

[@robertkeyling3131]

Wunderbar!

[@JuanMartinezPlacerez]

Maravilloso estilo , unido a un Fraseo y sonido de Excelencia .

[@TerryHolton-zr2yp]

It is hard to believe that Aaron was in his mid seventies when he played this. He had lost none of his technique and profound musicality. Absolutely superb.

[@gabrielhwang6827]

BRAVISSIMO! WONDERFUL! GREAT! EXTRAORDINARY! SUPERUB TEACHINQUES! It can't be more beautiful than this!

[@billybobr2e2]

Great quality find man, F for the legend

[@germanruiz7144]

Fantástico!!!!gran maestro y bellísima persona!!!!!

[@adi_demian]

Absolutely fabulous playing!

[@peterholetschek9803]

Fantastic..

[@davidlucas7348]

Rosand still had the wonderful ex-Kochanski Guarneri at that time, I guess. What a wonderful fiddle, and a what wonderful violinist and musician he was.

[@beth_levin_piano]

Two masters!

[@barrymak8061]

Such beauty 🎼

[@johnhughes9554]

Love it

[@Bendygedy]

Great Bow arm 👍👍

[@a.n.i.c.k.a]

Absolutely! It drow my attention from the very beginning. Being from europe, i didn't know this violinist until wantching this video. First few second and i was like OMG what a bow work!

[@violinhunter2]

It has been said that as we age, the bow arm is the first to go. Not in this case. It is really great.

[@shanping]

多棒的演奏，敬仰

[@aXw4ryPlJR]

A true romantic master!

[@45thparallelfiddler]

What a great musician! And a great instrument to boot! Does anyone know what violin he is using for this performance?

[@rjsullivanjr]

It could be his ‘Ex-Kochanski’ Guarnerius del Gesu. He had that fiddle until 2009. Amazing instrument that had been his voice for a very long time.

[@c3piano]

His tone is beautiful. Pearlman reminds me of him.

[@germanruiz7144]

Nooooo!!!!

[@austinzhong2911]

Does anyone happen to know where this recital was held? Just curious. Thanks

[@unvioloniste]

At the Munson Recital Hall of Azusa Pacific University.

[@龔一峯]

I remember his violin is guarneri.

[@BenjiOrthopedic]

Here is the problem with this piece - great though the music is, it usually doesn't sound very Scottish, depending on who is playing it. It takes a real Scotsman to do it right. And not all that many Scots have recorded it. And...it was dedicated to and first played by a Spaniard named Sarasate, which is even more funny.

[@alanwittert2169]

And Bruch never visited Scotland until a year after this premiered. Wondering why if it doesn’t take a Scotsman to compose it why would it take one to play it?

[@BenjiOrthopedic]

@@alanwittert2169 And you know this how? About his travel schedule I mean? Um, alright, assuming that were true, well...the Scotch tunes were probably printed and he got ahold of them. Composing and performing are two different things. A good composer can take a rather unspectacular melody and transform it. As far as music making - performance - let's just say that Russians don't quite play Gershwin tunes with the understanding that someone from the US probably does. Just like I wouldn't play Shostakovich with the understanding of the music that someone from Russia has. Anyway, all of this aside, most people who play this piece don't ever manage to make it sound Scottish. They're more concerned about showing the audience that they can nail all those runs in Mvts 2 and 4 and end up getting a standing ovation just because of that. Which is absurd.

[@paganviodio]

Mozart has written a " Turkisch March", and he's been never in Turkey!! If i cook Japanish, i dont need to be Japanish.

[@BenjiOrthopedic]

@@paganviodio Mozart "has never been in Turkey" (maybe you meant 'never went'?) What's Japanish?! I love it! Is that a hybrid of Spanish and Japanese?! My original comment stands. It's funny hearing Kogan play the Gershwin-Heifetz "Bess You Is My Woman Now" and "It Aint' Necessarily So" and Kogan DID come to this country. Vieuxtemps actually wrote a "Yankee Doodle Dandy" variations based on our popular patriotic hokey song of the same title. At least he came to this country and wrote it here. People still play it and it's a hoot - it transformed the original (boring) tune. Anyway...you're entitled to your own generalized opinions. I won't try to change them.

[@jonathanparle8429]

If a non -Scottish player and a Scottish player played this and I heard the performances blindfolded, I would simply pick the better of the two performances. What country they come from has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with it. You might as well say that non-Italians can't play Paganini or Vivaldi...
