I AM THE VIOLIN IDA HAENDEL DOCUMENTARY PART 3

[zzfinance]

Miss Ida, you are beautiful and sexy, you are not old. you have all the charms of woman suppose to have.

[bogula100]

Dear Ms. Haendel I wish you could play forever. You are truly amazing.

[classicalmusic6]

If anyone wants to use Ida's age against her and say that she is not skilled anymore- they can post a video of themselves playing the Brahms concerto and let everyone see how skilled they are.

[mrwasbesonders]

Fantastic playing even in her advanced years. Who gives a shit about any blemishes, her greatness still shines through.

[alixvhessen]

I am sorry - but she was just shaking... at the age of 80 plus one is not skilled anymore to play Brahms Concerto like a 30 year old...

The violin is probably perfectly okay as is her bow. and sorry, if it really occurred 1 1/2 years before why did she not go to the violin maker earlier???

She tries to hide her age... but no one can. She should find an appropriate end in dignity and not play until nobody can take her for serious anymore...

[milstein91]

I respect her,but her brahms is not good at all

9:27 - 9-42 -

"There is never perfection in life.That's the truth...Aiming for perfection,but never achieving it." - Words of Ida Haendel

[KasparWise]

at 4:00 to 4:04 is an amazing bowing skill from her, it is great!

[foxyjohnuk]

9:21 made me well up x

[Feignabsolution]

Honey... you don't need to sound old... It's peoples small minds forcing an idea upon you. You sound timeless. "a freak" she is human, and people that play like robots are the true freaks.

[metteholm75]

It was a violin-hickup.

She´s only human :-)

[metteholm75]

It was a violin failure!

She´s only human. Love her for it.

[koklim82]

OMG ... 4:02 , is it real ??

[miamipianofestival]

probably a digital glitch in the audio-doubt tthe excellent director would not have selected it if it wasn't ok . On the other hand the rest of the clips discusses problems with the violin... (solved quite a bit later in Paris by the way )

[MrSwingGuitar]

@koklim82 It's a wolftone in the violin...cellos often have them, violins less often.

[McSplat]

@koklim82 Yes, they put that clip in there to right after she talked about her if age affected her playing

[pyrioni]

how come she has only 1 violin to travel with? I always have 2 flutes whereever I go.

[pppsssssssss]

The violin she has has been her sole violin since her teens. It is a Stradavarius worth millions of dollars...

For violinists and instrumentalists in general, most of them have on instrument which is their ideal match. It is sort of like a personal relationship...the violinist and the violin grow together from the beginning. The violinist learns how the violin works (what strengths/weaknesses are) and evolve.

[BBRENTTAGHAPP]

i think jascha heifetz owned both a strad and a del gesu, but he prefered the del gesu for most performances

[himeboshi012]

@pyrioni are you serious? do you know how much her violin cost?? who played on it before her? how old it is? wow

[makimoko]

@pyrioni Maybe because her instrument worth several million of dollars. It has been her violin for a while now, and it is now a part of her. She could never find a violin she likes as much as this one. A unique and precious violin woth 4 million $... is not a flute

[robiolin]

You are not a freak! No way

[almeronfilms]

She is a dear person.

[anibatikian]

The only violinist who makes me cry with her playing.

[Dogaradodia]

Wow, she can still play Brahms at 76! She's an inspiration to the elderly Japs. They ought to pay her double.

[MCHEATH]

She is really 80!!!! fantastic
