This is my first time hearing this concerto so when I searched on Youtube I wanted to pick a good violinist for my first impression and was excited to find Heifetz's recording. I'm glad I did!
That cadenza is just SO well played. That slow acceleration back to normal tempo at the end was a masterstroke. Exquisite phrasing, beautiful tonal color and emotion. That last part of the first movement from 3:29, man what a change in the mood, what incredible intensity! it's beautiful!
But the recording has dimmed the orchestra's huge sound spectrum.
1 dislikes!!! How can you NOT like this music and Heifetz? You must be tone deaf and emotionally stunted at birth! Just listen to rap and stay away from classical music. You just don't get it.
4:30 to 5:35 - So so incredibly emotionally haunting and so sweet ! After that my whole day just looked full of heart-warming feelings. Mendelssohn is an incomparable genius
he first perfromed this whn he was 6 ,thn the famous leo auer taught him, which is now a rarely taught bowgrip to transfer the weight in a certain way to give a special tone tht almost on one knos bout anymore...heifetz taught my father who taught me the auer grip...u ppl should ask ur teachers bout the grip its very special in a way =] great playing too!!! =]
