Playing a melody in harmonics is like walking a high wire act with no net below! Verryy risky! Rosand was a favorite of mine decades ago and I still enjoy his performances. Thanks.
Rosand is a very underrated violinist. Not my very favorite, he still ranks right up there, and his Sarasate LP from the 1960's IS my favorite. Shoulder rests damp some of the harmonics, making some fiddles sound better and some worse, depending on your preferences. I began with a Resonance type, but many rears later with my present violin, prefer a thin piece of foam. Absolutes mean nothing here.
Auer and heifetz also prohibited the use of shoulder rests. It inhibits the sound by blocking some of the woods vibrations. When you don't use a shoulder rest the violin is a tad more powerful and also the use of the shoulder rest prohibits flexibility.

@mrausar this couldn't be further from reality....THREE reasons: 1) the sound is obviously dampened, 2) slight adjustments in the shoulder actually change the pitch of the instrument--by as much as a 1/6 tone, 3) it's simply an illusion of the ears that the sound is "bigger"---because of Bone Conduction. EITHER way, it depends on the physical set-up of the individual. These violin-dictators who are anti-shoulder rest usually have broad shoulders and don't need one. Others do.
Aaron Rosand is one of the great of the violin, I love him sin 25 years ago. I love his performances on Sarasate, pure passion and great sound. great unique sound passionist
Simply amazing. I wonder how Wieniawski really put his thought into this beautiful peice of music. I only begin to scratch the surface on how long it took for him to think out this peice. If i get the chance i would love to work and learn from him. i usually don't like anything that is intensely high on the violin, but still, the tone, clarity, feeling, and voice changed my opinion with Rosand.
he had an amazing concert, im a guitar player and i had the privilege to speak with him , im telling you i know how to play violin , but his tone , clarity , level ITS JUST AMAZING the feeling he puts in every song , i wish i could learn from him.
Oh, you play the violin? That's wonderful! My son has been playing the violin since he was five, now he is seventeen. How long have you playing? So, do you live in Miami? What is Rosand's full name? Whatelse does he play? Is he a sololist and well-know? I didn't know him at all. I like Perlman, Heifetz, Joshua Bell, and a lot of more.But, he sounds great, clear and strong, sensetive, and beautiful!
studied both with Leon Sametini (a student of Eugene Ysaye) at the Chicago Musical College, and with Efrem Zimbalist, Sr. (a student of Leopold Auer) at the the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. As Dorothy Richard Starling Chair of Violin Studies at Curtis and in master classes throughout the world, Rosand seeks to impart the twin strains embodied in his own playing - the Russian school of Auer and the Ysaye tradition - to a new generation. Life goes on!
Mr Rosands violin is a Guanari 'Del Jesu' one of only seven known to exist. Stern (1) Heifetz (2) and the other 3 I don't know. I had a teacher who had a Guanari but not a 'Joesph of Jesus' It went for $75,000 almost 30 years ago. Worth much more today.
You're not right, there are over 140 known Del Gesu violins in the world. The Metropolitan Museum in NYC did an exhibit about 10 years of 25 Guarneri violins among them were Rosand's, Stern's, Heifetz's, Joachim's, Vieuxtemps', and Paganini's.
Recently many of young violinists eject no-controlled rude sound such as waste big-gas-burst from their body. Rosand's playing is far,far beyond them. He is a true virtuoso violinist.
Some years ago I had the opportunity to meet and play chamber music with Mr.Rosand. In my opinion he has throughout his career consistantly demonstrated the highest standards of violin playing and musicianship.
Wow! Fantastic playing! <3

I agree with you. Some people say that without the use of a shoulder rest, one would get "more" sound. I don't see how that's true.

Actually the instrrument would not resonate anymore... quite the opposite. mrausar is right.
