Oistrakh.

Oistrakh is another wonderful violinist and favourite of mine

Perfect!

Very nice 👌

[@MrJusmobile]

It just sounds like how the composer wanted it to sound. !!

[@Sam-zt2ur]

I don't imagine so, this piece was written originally for piano, but I agree it's a wonderful arrangement and the piece sounds beautiful on violin.

[@linusbarfuss7502]

Some critics had the opinion that Heifetz would play too mechanic, with a lack of feeling and sensitivity. They were completely wrong as Heifetz demonstrates in particular with this masterpiece.

[@anonymousweeb8676]

How so? Please explain further, I’m quite intrigued.

[@nickcarroll8565]

Some critics think if the performers don’t make faces while playing that they lack emotion 🙄 I prefer to let the playing tell me his inward state.

I replayed his spoken intro and recorded it. Sure would be fine if we could hang out in heaven? Anybody know if Mr. Heifetz believed?

[@OttoKuus]

He was a practicing jew.

[@RosaGrau2014]

He screwed up the double stops at the end. Look at his face.

[@user-iy1go8tr7i]

And??

[@user-yk4ik5ex1v]

Oistrakh’s version is way better than this one. This is the only music of Heifetz that disappointed me 😢

[@ivanaraque]

He was famously self-demanding, here's a quote: "If I don't practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it." He was certainly the best.

[@twhis9843]

@@ivanaraqueI think that was Mischa Elman who said that.

[@abbythebigfatcow2629]

nice nobody really cares
