Heifetz plays Scherzo Tarantelle (Wieniawski)

[@Emma-ob5oj]

Breathtaking performance. When they showed the audience I was surprised they’re actually there, cause no one was coughing

[@pulsebright]

I'm sure it was not in the US. lol

[@sebastianbaverstam]

How can you cough if your breath was taken away?

[@fradifoci]

And they didn't burst into applause immediately after...! Strange....

[@Chriswbirder]

This was at a time where performance etiquette was such that you didn't dare make a sound while the performance was going on. Sadly we have lost some of that etiquette today

[@PatriciaGoodsonpianist]

No oné is coughing in concerts now

[@fukyuk]

The soft tone that heifeitz produced during the first expressive passage in the high position is brilliant, i remember my teacher taught me most people will tend to stress the high notes instead due to the hand being too tense

[@Towmatodowg]

The BEST interpretation of scherzo-tarantella I've ever heard

[@srinitaaigaura]

Observe carefully that every time Heifetz repeats a line, he plays it differently. Different fingerings, positions and tonal colors, sometimes even changing the way he ascends and descends across the strings.

[@chrislegit3198]

That’s because he’s the GOAT! Pag 2nd. Roman Kim 3rd.

[@chrislegit3198]

Nobody could or will ever match Mr. Heifetz technically.. Not a Chance!

Prihoda played it faster. Very early recording so the audio quality is low but legend has it that Heifetz was jealous of Prihoda’s technical abilitues and articulation. Even in the cloudy static of an old recording Prihoda pronounces every note at superspeed! m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGitfpqrirNklas

Sometimes you need to reverse the playhead and start again. Im not sure that picture and sound are on the same server.

[@cristiandesaviolin]

Just did some research... the audio here is his 1950 recording of this piece and not the live performance. Of the 3/4 recordings he made of this piece, maybe it isn't his best but still greater than the rest of us by a mile! The video you linked is of the live concert, showing how Heifetz was even better live than in the studio! Genius!!

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@NØP3 Nope. Lindsey is far more popular today than Heifetz. She composes her own stuff and dances while she plays. Heifetz could not approach it.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@NØP3 Her video Crystallize has 245 million views. That's her own composition of her own music and own dance choreography plus of course exceptional violin skills. The most viewed Heifetz video has 2 million views of him standing still grimacing playing someone elses work. Of course you can argue Heifetz is a technically better player, and I wouldn't disagree. But Lindsey Stirling is a better all round performer and more relevant to today's generation.

[@camille0761]

The old robot played too fast and swallowed some notes lol Itzhak Perlman is unbeatable in these kind of pieces, technically and musically, putting the right soul in it.

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

Well, what we see is a musician. He plays extremely fast, perhaps faster than anybody who has ever played. And yet, he plays musically. He uses phrasing, his vibrato is lush, he never repeats a line in the same dynamic, and above all, he has a fantastic sound. Even playing at the upper reaches of his bow he still has a rich, textured sound that bursts with life and separates all the greats from the merely average. I think maybe you are one of those who sees his stern face and let’s that affect your impression of his playing. So, to that I say (and I’ll quote Ivry Gitlis for this one), “close your eyes for God’s sake!”.
