Fritz Kreisler plays Niccolo Paganini - F. Kreisler Violin Concerto No 1, Op. 6 recorded in 1936

[@zhichengzhao5907]

I thought Mr. Kreisler always played violin with his unique soft warm and sweet tone, however what really shocked me is the first few notes he played in this concerto is almost like pulling out a sward by knight! Incredible performance!

Italians: moving in for the kill blood drama feuds... Austrians: lets have a coffee and something sweet... 😂😂😂

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

While I personally would favor the original over this more romantic version of that incredible concerto, there's no denying Kreisler's incredible skills! What technique, what sound!!! His playing is so lush, warm, and so richly textured (and you can hear that even without taking into account the old recording). It's just such a joy to behold😍

[@richarddouglas8015]

I adore kries!er he brings the beauty and sentimental element of the violin never mind the interpretation he desires he is so human in his playing ,rip maestro you are the best to me !

[@douglassandalo9576]

Kreisler made his own arrangement...it's sounds like Disney arrangement

[@망히-z9z]

Best Guarneri sound. He used the best one among his own 21 good violins

[@BaroneVitellioScarpia1]

I love Kreisler AND Paganini! This is my favorite rendition of Paganini's first concerto.

[@paga123]

This piece sounds like a modernization of the original, in order to put the piece more easy for every one. (even personnaly I love the original version). It was done in the 30's , how would have Kreisler recreated it today ???

[@AA-vb5fx]

Astonishing sound in the cadenza

[@paga123]

Amazing ! I have loved the 6 paganini's concerto for more than 40 years, but I didn't know that Kreisler created this arrengement, more precisely this interesting reperforming. And with Kreisler, we are in some "good hands" !

[@robotnik77]

If Paganini were Viennese this would be the style. "I'll have a little Swiss cream und Zucker in meinem Kaffee, bitte, and let's become ein bisschen gemütlich."

Pure genius! Eric Shumsky

[@marcvilleneuve1889]

And what a beautiful sound... something none has surpassed nowadays. And Kreisler was an old respected man in 1936... At the end of his career.

[@ecuadorpillajo]

15.20 cómo empieza esta bella improvisación muy adelantada a la época y cierra con un cambio tonal genial gracias Kreisler

[@lgyqchen5074]

It is very different from the versions that I have listened.

[@cletedavis5849]

That's because Kreisler made his own arrangement of the concerto.

[@chiliaction5496]

No really ??? 😂😂😂

[@CarmenReyes-em9np]

No es versión ,es como debe de ser ,la técnica ningún otro la tiene. 🌹

[@paganini641]

Da la impresión que la orquestacion no fuera en la misma línea qué el violin, conocemos la melodia del violin y con ella nos guiamos, pero el acompañamiento como que pierde el touche de Paganini el que debiera ser un poco más agresivo.

[@nekocafe8420]

Pues ese es el punto, y no no pierde la línea del violín, hay algo que se llama rearmonización y es algo MUY MUY común de hacer, si está bien hecha la rearmonización funciona muy bien como en este caso. Kreisler sólo quiso hacer este concierto en su propio lenguaje musical, y vaya que lo logró, sin perder la esencia del original paganini, una obra maestra.

[@Тайныйновгородец]

Забавная трактовка...насколько всё изменилось !!! Впечатление, что играет студент...оркестровка неузнаваемая. Можно представить, как исполнял это сам автор...так изменились вкусы и представления публики за более чем 100 лет...

[@marcvilleneuve1889]

I would say that modern players are absolutely unable to reach such beautiful sound and vibrato . That is a regression. And he doesn't play like a student. He is a great master.

Er hat gewiss ein außerordentliches Können, aber seit ich die Interpretation von P. Hirschhorn gehört habe, gefällt mir keine andere mehr🤔

[@iCyclone]

Interesting. While it is totally awesome to hear Kreisler's wonderful, unique sound, I have to say, I just hate this "arrangement"-- this downright corruption-- of this piece. It is dreadful. Just completely tacky. And unnecessary. The original is fine and doesn't need fixing.

[@ФердинантЕвдокимов-я8ь]

Старая исполнительская ,,ШКОЛА" более достойна, благородная, жива, выразительная. Раньше преподаватель говорил ученику : ,,играй тут с выражением", а сегодня он говорит ученику : тут форте, а там ,,диминуэндо" -- и все в том же духе. Игра на скрипке претерпела безразличие к ,,постановке", даже бывает наоборот , прививают уродливые ,,постановки" в стиле ,,20 --го" века, далекого от классической естественной, пользующимися такими ,,СТОЛПАМИ", как ПАГАНИНИ, ХЕЙФЕЦ, КРЕЙСЛЕР, ВЕНЯВСКИЙ, ЭЛЬМАН и др., -- которые по качеству МУЗЫКАЛЬНОГО ИСПОЛНИТЕЛЬСТВА НА ГОЛОВУ ВЫШЕ, ЧЕМ СЕГОДНЯШНИЕ ,,СОЧИНИТЕЛИ ПОСТАНОВОК, УМНИКИ" То же касается и певцов, пианистов...

[@ФердинантЕвдокимов-я8ь]

Редакция вмешивается в тексты комментарий, переворачивая ,,С НОГ НА ГОЛОВУ". В предыдущем комментарии сказано, что при. ,,СТАРОЙ" ,,КЛАССИЧЕСКОЙ" ШКОЛЕ ИГРЫ с точки зрения МУЗЫКИ исполнительство стояло НА ГОЛОВУ ВЫШЕ СОВРЕМЕННОЙ (20 --21 --х века). Этому есть объяснение. Не потому, что ,,ПЕРЕВЕЛИСЬ" ТАЛАНТЫ, -- а сама общественно политическая, культурная, ОБСТАНОВКА. НАДО ЧЕСТНО ПРИЗНАВАТЬ, А НЕ ,,РЕВНОСТНО". ОБЩЕСТВЕННО -- ПОЛИТИЧЕСКАЯ СИТУАЦИЯ ИГРАЕТ НЕМАЛОВАЖНУЮ РОЛЬ. С появлением СССР, государства с программой всенародного образования, доступности культурных мировых достижений самому ,,простому" человеку, независимо от его происхождения. Культурные ценности государство стремилось дать всем, не глядя на материальное состояние, -- происходила ИСТИННО ДЕМОКРАТИЗАЦИЯ КУЛЬТУРЫ. ЭТО ЗАМЕТНО И В КОМПОЗИТОРСКОМ ТВОРЧЕСТВЕ : ПРЕЛОМЛЕНИЕ ,,ВКУСОВ" И В ЖИВОПИСИ И ТЕАТРАЛЬНОМ ИСКУССТВАХ, И МУЗЫКАЛЬНОМ : ПИКАССО, ПРОКОФЬЕВ, ШОСТАКОВИЧ, ПОЯВЛЕНИЕ КИНО. ФРИЦ КРЕЙСЛЕР, ПАГАНИНИ, ЯША ХЕЙФЕЦ, ЛИСТ, РАХМАНИНОВ, КАРУЗО, ШАЛЯПИН И Т.Д. -- ПОСЛЕДНИЕ. ,,ИЗ МОГИКАН". ПЕРВАЯ МИРОВАЯ ВОЙНА, РЕВОЛЮЦИОННЫЙ ПЕРЕВОРОТ В РОССИИ -- ПЕРЕВЕРНУЛИ СТРАНИЦУ И В ОТНОШЕНИИ КУЛЬТУРНЫХ ЦЕННОСТЕЙ. В ИСПОЛНИТЕЛЬСКОМ ИСКУССТВЕ СТРЕМЛЕНИЕ БЫЛО ОХВАТИТЬ БОЛЬШИЕ МАССЫ ,-- НЕ ДО ,,ТОНКОСТЕЙ" БЫЛО,. ,,ПРОСТОТА" В ИСПОЛНИТЕЛЬСКОЙ ,,ШКОЛЫ " ПОНИМАЛАСЬ ПРЕВРАТНО, ИСКАЖЕННО, -- НЕКОГДА БЫЛО заострять внимание на ,,мелочи", -- да и кадры преподавателей снижались по качеству, вплодь до ,,САМОДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ". ИСКУССТВО ШАЛЯПИНА ИЛИ РАХМАНИНОВА , ПАГАНИНИ НИКОГО НЕ ИНТЕРЕСОВАЛО, -- ВСЕ ОБЬЯСНЯЛОСЬ ,,ОСОБЫМ" ДАРОМ ,,СВЕРХУ", -- ЧТО НЕ ОБСУЖДАЛОСЬ... ОБЩАЯ КУЛЬТУРНАЯ ОБСТАНОВКА СНИЖАЛАСЬ , -- НА ПОВЕРХНОСТЬ ВЫХОДИЛИ УЧЕНЫЕ В РАЗНОЙ ОЬЛАСТИ , ДО ЯДЕРНОЙ ФИЗИКИ, ВОЕННОЙ ТЕХНИКИ, ОСВОЕНИЕ КОСМОСА. В ЭТИХ ЗАДАЧАХ , ПРОБЛЕМАХ. МЕСТО ДЛЯ КУЛЬТУРЫ ВСЕ БОЛЬШЕ ТОНУЛО ВНИЗ. ФАКТ НЕОСПОРИМЫЙ.

Since some time, they lost the courage to create beauty.

[@violinhunter2]

This is very interesting but the only thing I want to know is: why did he do this? Someone out there must know.

[@ts13579_texas_usa]

>> Why did he do this? Someone out there must know. @violinhunter2 Presumably, the "he" of your question is Kreisler (not Ormandy). But would you please be more specific -- what exactly do you mean by "do this"? Yes, someone out there must know. But first we need to be sure we know what you are asking.

[@cletedavis5849]

Kreisler was a masterful composer besides being one of the world's greatest violinists. He did arrangements of several pieces like this for his own use. I doubt that Paganini would have been happy about Kreisler re-arranging his music, but you must admit it is a fascinating!

[@violinhunter2]

@@cletedavis5849 Well,... I know Kreisler wrote many salon pieces but he never wrote any industrial strength music - no symphonies, or tone poems, no operas, no piano sonatas or concertos or violin sonatas or concertos but he did write this thing. He must have spent many weeks reworking the harmonies and orchestration. Why didn't he just play (and record) the original? Why did he not "rework" Mendelssohn's or Beethoven's or Mozart's or Bach's or Brahms' stuff? I'm guessing that he must have proposed this "project" to someone before doing it and in the process had to explain or reveal his reason for doing it. Maybe he just did it because he could. In any case, I don't find it as much fascinating as humorous.

[@alejandd8566]

For a long time after Paganini dead, No one dared to play paganini music, and no one knew how to do it, then (and even today) paganini works are music that only paganini can understand, This ignoring the fact that paganini never published his violin concertos during is lifetime, in the lates 1920s Paganini caprices were very well know, But is violin concertos werent, I heard somewhere that kreiser did this to get paganini music fit more into the "popular" music standards, like a new way to introduce paganini to new audiences, if you look old recordings (1900s-1920s) you will find that paganini caprices were very popular (the caprice 13 for example), But his violin concerto 1 in the original key is impossible to find, ignoring yehudi menuhins recordings you will find people like Váša Příhoda having their own recordings of variations on paganini violin concerto 1 (sadly i only managed to find the first movement of it)-
