From the Old School of violin playing, a wonderful time, which is sorely missed.

She defenetly was a phantastic Violinist and will be one of the greatest Violinists of the 20th Century!!! Maybe she was not that "Tip Top" like a "Anne Sophie Mutter",even Mutter is for me personally not one of my favorits,Mutter was ,very good at the Beginning until her "Carmen Album" 1993, again,a good Violinist,,but her Vibrato extremly at the "Carmen Album" way wobbling by Mrs Mutter,there what I noticed,it started there for Mutter with that Vibrato,but a "Ida Haendel" defenetly was great, an elegant Vibrato superb,and in generally,as a Violinist,as a Musician and as an Artist and a wonderful Human Being!!! Just natural warm hearted and not to much "styled up like a Anne Sophie Mutter!!!" Of Karajan and Deutsche Grammophon=Warner Bros. Thank you sooo much for putting it on KZbin 🙏🧡 Yours,Josha 🙋‍♂️🍀🍀🍀🧡🎼🎶🎻
