Henryk Szeryng plays Fritz Kreisler - Recitativo und Scherzo-Caprice

[@valandco]

Shout out to whoever chose this camera angle. Most of the time, it's an angle that a teacher would use to demonstrate to their student. 👏👏👏

[@paulcaswell2813]

Magnificent playing. Szerying was very much a 'fiddler's fiddler' - never 'quite' the household name as with the Heifetzes and Menuhins, but IMO much, much more musical than either. Gorgeous Guarneri in use here also :-). Thanks for the upload.

[@CalmeEtVolupte]

This piece sounds like a love letter to Ysaÿe.

[@wendyshell8679]

Dissonant love!❤️

[@luxio6765]

It is way easier than anything that madman wrote haha

[@justusforviolin2719]

I was just thinking that! I started learning it a couple days ago, There is a LOT of Ysaye influence!

[@luxio6765]

@@justusforviolin2719 I've played this before and now I'm playing Ysaye's second sonata. The sonata is way harder but you can hear what influenced Kreisler in his compositions as you said. Especially in phrases or polyphonic parts. Also important to note that Ysaye actually knew Kreisler, and as he was writing pieces dedicated to violin players (based on their character and things like playstyle/overall technique) like Thibaud or Enesco, he also wrote a piece for him - Ysaye Sonata No. 4. Definetely worth a listen.

[@justusforviolin2719]

@@luxio6765 I played the Obsession sonata (my first real exposure to Ysaye outside of his string crossing arpeggio exercise) for my college senior recital 15ish?! years ago, I don't know why I never noticed the connection til now...there is even some Ysaye in Kreislers famous Beethoven concerto cadenzas 1st and 3rd mvts! They clearly seem to have influenced each other

Amazing use of the bow!

[@Ving_Tsun_Devotee]

So far the version I like best of this piece. More musical and flowing than others.

[@shavemangin]

What an amazing violin player, I think he is the best I have ever seen in my eyes. He has such a wide range of emotions he can play on the violin.

[@DavidWDNO]

Who knew that drinking THAT much of cognac could be so beneficial to the overtones ?)

[@TheAtlantaVirtuosi]

not many violinists are capable of that - but maestro Szeryng did not drink before this video instead he gave us a master class in how to play the violin. I hope you understand me other wise I will be happy to tell in Español.

[@sitosanchez]

Hahahaha!!!

[@jacc88888]

Haha! Judging by his amazing playing he was probably highest-functioning boozer.... ever

[@user-fx9zc9on8m]

Is it that true?...

[@Sylvia46208]

Szeryng was famously increasingly drunk for performances the older he got. He’s pretty old here😂

Ralmente H te hace volar. Es mi preferido. También pero en piano mi compatriota Martha Argerich. Tocando con D. Barenboim la rompen Soy músico de rock. No de rock and roll. De Rock progresivo y Folk principalmente Estudie con el Maestro Argentino Rajmiel (Raphael) Wainhaus pero sólo pocas clases. No se puede abarcar todo. Tmbn toco algo de piano lo suficienye para ser tecladista pero no me dediqué mas q a la guitarra. Saludos y les recomiendo si no lo vieron aunque es una película, un film y puede haber sobregrabaciones o mil intentos Me encanta.

[@fedup1940]

My hunch he is playing a 1700's Guarnarius violin.

[@uliwidmaier5192]

Yes. The 1744 "Leduc," now being played by Augustin Hadelich.

[@1cleandude]

An outstanding beneficiary!🙏🏻

[@paulcaswell2813]

@@uliwidmaier5192 Szeryng was one of the few to regularly play both Strad and Guarneri - most players fall into one of the two camps (Heifetz - Guarneri; Milstein - Strad, etc). Always a gamble booking a ticket for Szeryng as one never knew which fiddle he'd be playing!

[@paulcaswell2813]

Depends on the repertoire. Concerto-wise, Strad for Mozart and Beethoven; Guarneri for the likes of Bruch and Brahms... David (who helped Mendelssohn with his concerto) played a 1742 del Gesù (later owned by Heifetz), so the Guarneri would have been apt here too.

[@JuanMarcello]

Please, WHEN Szeryng record that video?

[@uliwidmaier5192]

Looks and sounds like early 80s. He's at the top of his game, with maximal tone and not yet any of the declining physical strength that sometimes affected him in the later 80s

[@OttoKuus]

@@uliwidmaier5192 He certainly is not at the top of his game here. His technical ability has deteriorated quite a bit.

[@eduardorivera508]

I just saw this on PBS and thay have this footage archived as 1975.

Great Szeryng

[@andrewlivingston1590]

"We've done it! We finally succeeded in bringing Darren McGavin back from the dead! So what now?" "Well, how about we see how well he can play the fiddle?"

[@diegeigergarnele7975]

I know it's supposed to be a joke but maybe it should be the other way around since Szerying died around 20 years earlier

[@wendyshell8679]

Hilarious!😂❤️

[@user-ly9lx8mu7q]

Дивный музыкант...однозначно для меня куда интереснее и привлекательнее - нежели недавно просмотренный Хайфец...это европейцы так говорят. Чайковского он играл, как робот...впрочем, не только Чайковского - он по сути мало привлекателен для меня... Шеринг же узумлял и не раз - в том же концерте Чайковского - это было куда мощнее Хайфеца...честное слово. Вот кого бы обнял за его труды и таланты - это однозначно Генрика Геринга !!! Вечная ему память...выдающийся мастер !!!

this version is better than Mintz version

[@calamarviolinista]

Mintz has aged very badly violinisticly... nothing to do to the young shlomo

[@paulcaswell2813]

No modern players can hold a candle to the generation represented by Szeryng here: the list is unbelievable. Heifetz, Milstein, Oistrakh, Stern, Szeryng himself, Kogan, Ricci... We will never hear their likes again - almost all of todays top fiddlers are too much like 'peas out of pods' (Rachlin excluded).

[@francescoficarella1474]

Tò be honest Szeryng Is a Master and a Lord. Mintz in that recording with Deutsche Grammphone Is really perfect not a single note out of tune and a incredible sound with the Guadagnini. Here Maestro Szeryng Is Simply Amazing and his rich tone Is a gift for all musicians. Comparing, and i hate this, Mintz was perfect but not charming.
