I think it's important to note that improvements in recording technology might also be driving some of these stylistic changes. Before microphone improvements allowed the subtitles of "crooning" to be recorded with any fidelity, that style of vocals wasn't viable commercially. You get really, really close to this when you mention Elman's performance being "so matter of fact." It was likely performed that way so it could be clear and understandable through old microphones and old radios. Many of the the radios playing that song while it was being broadcast were likely made in the 40s and 50s.

There is some point here but it is a mistake to think that the old guys were playing to compensate for anything about recording technology. They were just playing the way they played in the hall. Moreover, the microphones of the early high fidelity era(1950 and 1960) were not in fact at all accurate-- they had nasty higher frequency resonances. I heard these "old guys: live (Grumiaux and Heifetz and Szeryng-- I missed Elman) The recordings are not representative of what was really heard when one heard them live. Actually even today very few recordings really sound like live violin sound. Audio people live in a dream world where they are recording real sound. Fat chance. The microphones are way too close for a start. (We won;t even go into the fact that speakers vary all over the map)

I have heard them both in concert, Milstein and Grumiaux. Grumiaux sounded like I had never heard anybody before and never again after. He has left deep traces in my memory. Although it is half a century ago I´ll never forget that sound like a huge soft cloud floating at me. Milstein was very impressing too with his sound as well with his Bach. I don´t believe in the idea of "right" or "wrong" interpretations, nor that a "historic" interpretation would be the only legitimate one. We play modern instruments (even a Stradivari with a longer neck, steel strings, modern Bow, higher bridge...) which require that we play differently from, say, the 18th century. There is a relatively wide corridor of possible interpretation and in the end it is one´s taste and liking as long as it is coherent and convincing. I still like Milstein best.

" Rachel Podger - famous Baroque specialist " *flashback to Ray Chen asking who was Rachel Podger*
As a pianist I can tell you that one of the things that made Glenn Gould famous is that he totally changed the way pianists play Bach. Before Gould, pianists would play Bach the same way they would play Liszt: lots of pedal, lots of dynamics, lots of rubato, lots of legato. But after Gould, pianists play Bach with little to no pedal, more subtle dynamics, and a stricter tempo with clearer articulations.
@paulgottlieb Жыл бұрын
One of the true glories of Bach is that it sounds great in a variety of interpretations and styles.
@christopherlord3441 Жыл бұрын
But the thing is that Gould was playing Bach on an equal temperament instrument which completely changes the melodic lines. He convinced a whole generation that the purpose of the 48 was to demonstrate that it is possible to play in all keys with improved tuning, but it is not true. The idea was to demonstrate music written for the distinctive colours you would get in each key: so Gould's interpretations, though brilliant of course, give a very misleading idea of Bach's intentions.
@johannsebastianbach34114 жыл бұрын
No matter how you play it, i sound great Also, Liszt didn’t start the no sheet music tradition. Clara Wieck (Schumann) did when she was a kid. She was a prodigy and people back in the day called her Linglara Lingenhaussen. In fact Robert Schumann was jealous of his wife's capabilities as a pianist, so he wrote pieces that would require large hands so that she couldn't play them. But then he himself couldn't play some things he wrote either, and hurt his own fingers while trying to stretch them with a weird finger stretching device. Back in those days, there were ads like "Do you want a bigger hand and longer fingers? Click here!" and sadly Robert Schumann clicked on them. Which redirected him to a page where there were videos of pianists with big hands fingering chords, and Robert got jealous again and purchased the whole hand enlargement set. I mean, I'm not sure if this is all correct tho. I heard it from Brahms...

Composers expected it of players. I adore "informed performance", but I'm no longer getting caught in the "this is good/that is bad" thinking I used to when I first fell in love with "informed performance".

I've also got a good ear for pitch which is helpful. But I'm certain as you progress in your studies of the violin, you'll pick up on more of the subtleties that the boys are talking about. So much of musical "feelings" comes with time and, of course, practice! I own and have listened to numerous recordings, from various times, of classical pieces and this was very interesting for me because it was actually a short span of musical time that they covered. At least for me it was! :-)

One thing that happened was that people began to play for recordings. In a big hall, the accented style smoothed out. This is a huge effect. Heifetz on records sound a bit crunchy. In concert reality, he sound smooth as silk. (I know--I heard him live). I never heard Elman live but the effect was probably similar. Recordings have made people smooth themselves out. Is this better? Who knows? But it is a good idea to understand why it happened. Isaac Stern used to talk about this, about how when he recorded he would tone down the accents and emphases because the close up microphone of "high fidelity" recording(and especially the nasty resonant treble microphones of the 1950s )picked up the accents and made things sound more aggressive than they would sound to a concert audience. When one plays for recordings one plays a different way. I need to put up my own recording of Dvorak to illustrate this point. It is very close- so I smoothed it out. It works. But in a hall it would have sounded too smooth. Try it for yourself. The old players did not all smooth themselves out so they sound aggressive. But in concert they did not. People were in ecstasy over Elman's tone in reality. To understand this , you need not just to know about violin playing you need to know about how recordings work, what they do to sound.

I love how each musician has their own interpretation. My biggest wish is that musicians don't get penalized or looked down upon as often as the do if they decided to play in older styles or different interpretations than is considered "right" or "mainstream" these days. Too often I have experienced berating of musicians because they didn't play it exactly as a teacher or instructor or peers wanted or believed it should be played. It feels in modern days people are trying to make too many musicians into robots to play a piece the same way no matter what. At least that is how I felt in University. I felt a lot of my creativity was being challenged too much because it didn't fit someone's expectations.

So true about the glissing. I was taught to use certain "schmaltzy" pitch changes back in the 60's and 70's. I personally prefer the cleaned up versions. On the Bach, I learned to play the first chord like Milstein's example (actually saw him porform in Chicago years ago) -- broken in half. Later, a more modern teacher preferred a harp-like rendition. I love that music has so many interpretations! We get quite a variety of input if we study with different people.

Great video, guys. As a non-musician music lover, I learned a lot. As a record collector, please permit me to correct at 1:35 "There's no more older school that that (1950s) 'cause recording wasn't even invented." Although 1948 marked the beginning of high fidelity recording when Columbia introduced the long playing vinyl record (LP or microgroove), commercial recording goes back another 60 years. Here's a short history of early audio recording. Around 1890, German-American inventor Emile Berliner invented the first Gramophone which played flat disc records. Edison is credited with inventing sound recording in 1877 with a machine that used tinfoil wrapped around a metal cylinder as a medium, but not much happened until he switched to using hollow wax cylinders a decade later. (Interestingly, records are still referred to as "wax" or "stacks of wax" by DJs and the area between the last music groove and the label is called the "deadwax.") Disc records and cylinders competed for market share over the 2 decades, with disc records becoming dominant by the 1910s, spawning the 2 major American record companies, Columbia and Victor (which evolved from Berliner's company, joined with RCA in 1929 to become RCA Victor, and is now called Sony Music Entertainment). Disc records of this era are called "shellac" records from the material of which they're made or "78s" from the nominal speed at which they rotated, although this varied greatly among labels. Until 1925 when electrical recording with microphones began, all records were made acoustically, which refers to the method not the instruments, since all instruments were acoustic. The musicians gathered around a large horn which vibrated a diaphragm mechanically connected to a stylus which cut the master record into a soft wax (later lacquer) disc. Although these early recordings have limitations (lower fidelity, surface noise, time constraints, easily damaged, limited lifetime), they're the only source we have for performances prior to 70 years ago. If you want to hear Caruso sing, Rachmaninoff or Paderewski play their own compositions, Toscanini conduct, or Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five play "Heebie Jeebies" then you have to go back to the old recordings (or transfers made to newer media like vinyl, CD, or digital files). Consider that Liszt died in 1886 and Edison's first wax cylinders were released in 1888, so the world missed the priceless opportunity to hear him play by just 2 years. How great would that have been? I have records going back to 1905 including Heifetz playing the Sibelius concerto (1935) and the 4th Mozart concerto (1948) and they sound pretty darn good, once you adjust your ears to the limitations of the medium and concentrate on the performance.

@@johndododoe1411 Yes, piano rolls we're an important early recording medium, albeit for only one instrument. Gershwin famously recorded >140 piano rolls of popular music of the day and a smaller number of his own compositions. I have an early 1950s 10" vinyl record on Telefunken of Edvard Grieg playing some of his Lyric Pieces recorded on a piano roll in 1906. The fidelity obtained from these piano rolls exceeds that of disc recording of the day, although it could be argued that piano rolls are not audio recordings at all, but merely capture the position of keys and pedals at various times. Wire recording WAS the first magnetic recording medium, but I didn't mention it because it was never used to record music for commercial release. Rather, it was limited to mainly office & home use for dictation and personal recording, and some military and aviation applications in the 1940s to early 50s.

About 20 years ago I had the enormous pleasure to tour for a week with Janine Jansen with a large Dutch university orchestra. She was a rising star at that time. She was not only an amazing violinist, but also an amazing lovely open, funny and joyful person. On our last concert in the Concertgebouw (Amsterdam) I was the lucky dude (literally all dudes and most girls wanted that honor, we were all in love with her) who got to give her the flowers during the ovation. I recently refound the pictures of that accasion. Pleasantly surprised with seeing someone she knew instead of the normal Concertgebouw valet, all smiles, she spontaneously kissed me on both cheeks in front of 1000+ people. Dear memories. What a talent. What a lovely person.

Violinists (good violinists) can usually play with their eyes closed. I don’t know if being able to see the fingers is the difference. Maybe it’s just cultural. Violin is so much more competitive, so memorization adds the extra wow factor? I started on violin, then switched to French horn, and for my first competition I was like, “I can memorize this,” and my teacher was like, “Really? That’s not necessary but ok,” and then the judges were like, “What are you doing?! Use sheet music.”

@@emmyyang4339 that’s a solid approach. We should never use the pedal to cover up technical or musical problems. However, the mindset on baroque performance practice has started to shift in recent years. I think the pedal can be use subtly in places to add resonance and for contrasting timbre. It’s a myth that Bach didn’t like resonance (one of his favorite instruments was the lute-harpsichord and I imagine the chapels of the day are as reverberate today as they were back then). With all that in mind, I think it’s apropos to use pedal in Bach (to taste and never to cover up issues) for more than just sustaining notes that can’t be held otherwise.

The first 15 + minutes watching her just listing to the Orchestra how moved she was just grabbed me. She just becomes part of the music before she even played a note. She is a very beautiful woman but so much more than that. She is very expressive while playing and seems so connected to the orchestra. Well that started me down a path of exploration I don’t regret. This music makes me feel it. I’m a happier person for having found it. I could never go to a live concert of op 61 I would drive people crazy I can’t be still listening to it.

Just so everyone knows, audio recordings were actually invented much earlier than video recordings (~1877 audio and ~1951 video), so you can even find music recordings from all the way back to the early 20th century or even late 19th century for further "old school" recordings. For example, here's the internationally renowned violin virtuoso and composer Fritz Kreisler playing Thaïs Meditation in 1910: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bniVe3mdgtR3b5I I actually think it's quite a beautiful interpretation, and you can even hear a lot of similarities with how people might play it today, although there also of course clear differences on style as well. One cool thing about these old recordings is that you can sometimes find composers playing their own pieces, which can be very interesting. I'd love if Brett and Eddy made some mention/consideration of these older recordings too, maybe in a future video, but I doubt they'll ever see this comment or hear about these earlier recordings any time soon if they don't already know about them.

As a recorder player, I'm obviously on the woodwind's side. (But what about flutes?)

I loved the old school players. Like they were saying it was non apologetic and you could feel what they were feeling when playing it because of that.

I love this video! It shows how classical music isn't stagnant at all especially to those not much familiar with the genre or to those who say it's boring and easy since we play music by composers from ages ago.

In all fairness, though, to someone who doesn't know anything about the tiny details like vibrato, small improvisation, timbre, etc., you can very clearly see why a lot of people think that classical music has become stagnant
