Josef Szigeti, Béla Bartok: Rhapsody n°1

[@farzinnegahban2566]

This is what I call a great treat indeed with Bartok on the piano and Szigeti one of the best interpreters of his works on the violin. A magical performance and what more can one ask for.

[@painovoimaton]

This is simply the greatest recording of this very piece. Not many dare to play it as such now, going for a more modern and flat interpretation - but - this is the composer playing along with the one he dedicated the piece for.

[@PlaneGuyProud]

I am gonna quote Arturo Toscanini: If you want to please only the critics, don't play too loud, too soft, too fast and too slow. Violin players please critics. Only maestros perform like Szigetti did with Bartok here.

Happy Birthday Josef Szigeti, born today in 1892 in Hungary. His death was in 1973. One of the great violinists of the 20th century. Thank you for your recordings. geh' gezint!

[@Sincebrassnorstone]

Bela Bartok is one of the best´s compossers of the history of the music, and a great pianista and teacher , and here with a wonderful violinist Josef Szigeti,, spaguetti said Gitlis in the art of violin jaja,,, is the best this recorded

[@wolfil8019]

This and the "Contrasts" with Benny Goodman are revealing to me how much I love Bartok. Thank you!

[@cocozhang6695]

I can feel the incredible power and entry in his playing even through the horrible sound quality and almost a century of time.

How is playing the same motif repeated with different colors,is Astonishing!!

[@kenmeerlivermaile]

I knew this piece from '72 0r '73, as a young high school dropout hanging at the downtown Chicago Library listening to their old and wonderful LP collection. This is, I believe, from the Lib of Con recording? I await eagerly Beethoven and Debussy and other Bartok... ...would that Bartok and Lipatti had both lived and played more with Sziegti and Enescu in the 50s, at least... !Thank You!

Wow! Haven't heard that good ol' Midwesternism since my dad and his dad used it (though I've used it a few times myself).

[@aqua0077]

I love this piece!!!! I played this piece for my grade 8 exam and I was so glad that the examiner commented that despite my technical insecurity I quite grasped the essence of this piece. But now I see that I still have a long way to go. The piece is far more deeper that I used to imagine.

[@slateflash]

How the hell is this a grade 8 piece?! This way harder than any grade 8 piece i know

[@NGS712]

Excellent sound quality! :)

[@emiviolin]

[@federricoilgrande]

[@tzumomusic]

Perfect 👌🏼 ❤️

[@euclid1618]

YES

[@Mahgar]

Funny, how Bartók himself misses (gets confused) at 6.16:) Genius of course but still cute:)

[@Kris9kris]

He plays the next octave in the bass exactly one 8th note earlier, which briefly confuses Szigeti than Bartók himself. :D Nice recovery though.

[@acerb4566]

glorious!

Elegie Bartok

[@vincentskowronski4026]

Best RHAPSODY #1 'EVER' recorded, in my opinion, by Polish/American violinist VINCENT PAUL SKOWRONSKI. Have a go-at-it, why don't you?! A revelation awaits the listener! See: KZbin, 'SKOWRONSKI PLAYS!' Chicago, IL. ~Gentleman Gypsy.
