Even compared to this one, that recording is just unimaginable. The tones, colors and the ornamentation that he produces there is just jaw dropping. even comparing Heifetz to Heifetz nothing comes close.
There's another video on Youtube of a much older recording of this made in 1917 of Heifetz that is simply out of the planet. There he plays with such controlled tempo and fire and the bowing is totally edge-less with tremendous colour.
That video also compares the old version to this one to show just how much the sound changed over the years. Unfortunately it is still totally in obscurity.
@srinitaaigaura Heifetz's playing had a lot more sugar to it in his teenage years, back when he was firmly under Auer's tutoring. Eventually the lighthearted curly haired lad that he was started to be assaulted by critics for 'failing to evolve musically', and there was a definite change in both style and person. In my opinion it was for the better - the world already had enough sugary Auer students like Elman, Seidel and Zimbalist, wonderful as they all were.
Everyonce in a while, a superhuman comes along in some art or sport, or other human endeavor, like Chopin, etc. Just someone that does things no other human can even approach. Heifetz is one of them.
Whatever Heifetz plays he makes more music out of it than just a showstopper. His interp of this and other like pieces are the best and the most rewarding to listen to. This is why Heifetz is regarded by the best as the best of the 20th century violinists. Not because he had the greatest technique, which he also possessed. It was his canny expressiveness. How beautiful.
@Rnfile I totally agree with you. Heifetz was at the top of the heap. There wasn't anything he did that wasn't 1st rate. When listening to him I feel a sense of hope. To me, this is the way God himself must play the violin. Heifetz goes far beyond human expectations. His tone & vibrato is like that of a tornado. His pizzicato is like a strong hail storm. And his interpretations are solid, consistent & musical. He is the violinist of the 20th century & beyond.
I agree not to "compare"...All the Great Ones have their own style,etc.,blah,blah...I do believe, however (Can you forgive me?) that Milstein is best for Bach! So sue me!
By some reason I try not to care about names, but about the message they have. And, this state-of-the-art-playing reminds me of the strong ethos that supports any outstanding violinist.
Can find a few tempo mistakes in this. But really, the only difference between Heifetz and Perlman's is that Heifetz has a lot more dynamics in his compared to Perlman's. Or maybe it could just be the old recording problem......
I don't necessarily dislike it, I just thumbed it down because every time I hear his music I go from impressed to depressed in 10 seconds. Screw Heifetz.
I'd say I prefer Heifetz's technicality, while I'd prefer Perlman's muscality. But it's a shame you can't go through a youtube video without seeing a billion comparisons.
Perlman himself would laugh and disagree - and he DID - with anyone saying that "his technique is better or equal to Heifetz". And real great technique is just only playing an Eb minor scale in 10ths at top speed and without mistakes.... or this piece faster than anybody else.
Tone? ....In all my years training with some of the best violinists in the world, 2 of my teachers studied under galamian. I'm pretty sure they both know tone. Also, anothers father studied with Oistrak. I have yet to come upon this 'tone'. What a terribly vague description. There's playing in tune, and executing performance styles and dyncamics correctly as well as strong techinque in the left hand but tone, well what? The only thing left is being an artist which just means control.
well, under teachers who are sort of best violinists do not mean their students are great or excellent, sometimes there are some students who are ignorant and criticise other people.
if you are a beginner yes, but before playing any advanced song, a typical violin player should have played many similar and easier songs in the past, making practicing this song, a doable feat.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Vasa Prihoda has stronger harmonics,better rhythym and much better left hand pizzicato in the closing section. Heifetz surpasses all violinists in most things, but not at everything.Albert Sammons version of the Elgar is better,as is Milstein's Bach.
Beautifully interpreted and unbelievable accuracy! Thanks for posting. As is almost always the case in the violin repertoire, Heifetz' rendition is the definitive recording of this piece!
@laptoprulz I play this piece and I thought this is a pretty bad recording. There were parts when violin and piano weren't together where they were supposed to, and lot of times I heard cover up notes to hide the missing notes.
@laptoprulz Because he uses the 18th century violin which has the most beautiful sounds any violin can make. The secrets of that violin cannot be unlocked of how it's sounds are so pure. It's his Heifetz favorite violin which he takes care of a lot.
@musicequaloxygen Don't compare Heifetz and Perlman! Both are great violinists. This is not a contest who is best of the best. They both continue and create the history of virtuoso violin playing and therefore will be remembered forever. True legendary violinists.
Deffinently agreed in that, those 2 are both virtuosos...boy that spelling doesn't look right, hmm. Anyways as i was saying, amazing violinists, but 2 completely different worlds.

"solutions of problems" HAHAH you're the most ridiculous creature i've ever encountered on the net' so keep chatting away "eboy"
the discussions here are really quite puerile. heifetz was a great violinist-but so were many others. contrary to what many ppl are asserting here - he was not "God" thus being human it is possible to make mistakes. anyone who listens carefully can tell there are mistakes in this recording.
morover if we critically comment on a partic rendition of one piece by one atrist we are not denigrating the whole output of their work nor are we claiming to be better than them. clearly no-one commenting here is a professional soloist b'cos certainly if they were they would have better things to do with their time
But really when it comes down to the crux of the matter, I think Heifetz did have the most perfect technique of all violinists.
Not the same as making mistakes (for as we are all human we all make mistakes), but in the sense that he was always in absolute control of his instrument.
In that sense, he is human just like the rest of us.
But the wealth of emotions and ideas he put forth through his playing and the elemental, visceral quality of it all...THAT is superhuman.
fair enough that is your opinion. as i said he was a great violinist (acknowleged by many as THE greatest) i love listening to him but also many others and personally for me many times i prefer kogan
Of course. There are plenty of instances where I also think another artist offers an interpretation more palatable to my own personal taste.
Nevertheless, it's like symfotroll said. Heifetz occupies a different dimensional slot than everyone else for me, and while sometimes his interpretation may not suit my taste, the utter uniqueness and genuine quality of the musicmaking keeps him consistently on my playlist, no matter the repertoire.
damn right, that's a brilliant summary of Heifetz's genius. I've never understood how people who claim to love violin can compare Heifetz with others. You can compare the others between themselves but not with Heifetz, for goodness's sake, he's simply a different dimension, and if you can't hear that - you're simply deaf.
Just a few comments to some of the people on this comment thread. It's called a metronome, not a metro-note. And the proper tune for proper intonation is in-tune, not in tone. And yes, Heifetz is a-freaking-mazing.
2/2:But there were others who aren't less perfect and have also great sound:look at Francescatti,Rabin,interestingly enough Menuhin's version,too.Please don't tell you names and don't be like the Pharisee who knew God's word like no one else but who didn't recognize nevertheless that Jesus was their Redeemer.Respect other opinions and other music taste.
1/2:Without any doubt Heifetz is one of the greatest violinists ever.I particullarly love his recordings especially of the concert recordings, Bach and the encores-and his interpretation of Bazzini is one of the greatest versions.
heifetz made few errors in recordings, and most were hardly ever distinguishible, and considering he only ever made one take, which like ipmoic has clarified as a fact one that i can vouch for as well(i've seen interviews and diaries of milstein, oistrakh, menuhin etc all of which confirm this), that is why heifetz is considered the greatest violinist ever
Not at all to detract from Heifetz, whom I also revere as one of the greatest violinists who has lived and who will ever live, but if you listen closely to the last movement of one of his recordings of Bruch's Scottish Fantasy, I do believe he makes a noticeable error.
Just to clarify--Recordings before the mid-1950's were always done in ONE TAKE. Often performers recorded a piece 3 times and chose the one they thought best. This is a known FACT. (Remember that video where Heifetz and his wife are choosing the best performance? That's because they were done in one take. Most of Heifetz, Menuhin, Oistrakh, etc., ad infinitum were all done in one take. So stop talking about fixing up mistakes. Before the late '50's it was NOT done!
There is no question in my mind that this is Heifetz--the past generation of violinist had indelible styles that you recognize as soon as you heard them. Heifetz did make errors recording was known to do many retakes in order to attain an absolutely perfect recording. It is quite possible that there were screw ups in the editing of this before final production-perhaps the flawed copy was mixed up with the perfected copy and sent to press, IT HAPPENS!
This IS Jascha - HMV Red Label 78, with the Saint-Saens Introduction & Rondo Capriccioso on the other side... On the shellac on a decent 78 player, it's unmatched... Paul
i believe this is heifetz, i have an accoustic recording of him recording this piece at the age of 16 and this one sounds pretty much the same just faster, REMEMBER THIS IS AN ACCOUSTIC RECORDING so of course its not gonna sound like the last heifetz concert you saw, and also to all you noobs who think his left hand pizzicato is off IT IS NOT, ITS PERFECTLY IN RHYTHM AND INTONATION IS PERFECT...ffs at least look at the notes before you criticize
This is indisputably Heifetz. It's his distinctive sound. I recognize his sound in the same way I would recognize a close relatives voice.
If you just want to judge by counting subtle impurities, watch Perlman's video. This is even cleaner, and Perlman's awesome. It's just an impossible piece to play perfectly.
No matter what people say on youtube, this is either Heifetz with a terrible left-hand pizzicato technique, or a very good violinist who is not the 'great Heifetz' :)
I agree too! Besides of mistakes and rhythmic inaccuracies because of technic difficulties the sound here is completely different to that of Heifetz. Sometimes the vibrato is close to him. Nevertheless: I believe: this cannot be J.H.- BUT: this violin player is a pretty good one. Congratulations!
I agree! Not quite how Heifetz normally sounds. At a pinch, we could make allowances for the fact that this may not be studio conditions - that is, bearing in mind Heifetz often had the microphones very close indeed - which would account for the uncharacterically 'distant' violin sound. Quality playing indeed, but doesn't quite fit one's usual aural picture of the great man. (Would be good to know who it is though!)
that was a perfect performance. So exquisite- it's a shame that he's dead.......... =( I would pay millions to just see him preform live one last time......
I thought about a year ago I saw a video of Heifetz playing this piece, accompanied by piano. Now I just see this still photo. It sounds slightly cleaned up, but still Heifetz. Anyone know if I can still find video or was I dreaming?
Heifetz is way better than Menuhin who ever said that Menuhin is better than Heifetz. I respect Menuhin's playing, but Heifetz does not make a lot of mistake. I'm not saying that Menuhin makes a lot of mistakes, but I've heard some wacky sounds come out of his violin like hissing, or too much bow pressure. They're still both great violinists!
welll i think one shouldnt compare those violin gods...they all play good...hiefetz plays it also good...but if i may say....i´d have expected he plays it much perfect than the early menuhin reconrding....as so,menuhin is better....
i bet little kid the picture can play this now too...

fair enough that is your opinion. as i said he was a great violinist (acknowleged by many as THE greatest) i love listening to him but also many others and personally for me many times i prefer kogan

Of course. There are plenty of instances where I also think another artist offers an interpretation more palatable to my own personal taste.
Nevertheless, it's like symfotroll said. Heifetz occupies a different dimensional slot than everyone else for me, and while sometimes his interpretation may not suit my taste, the utter uniqueness and genuine quality of the musicmaking keeps him consistently on my playlist, no matter the repertoire.
OzzyKingofKings 2 years ago 2
damn right, that's a brilliant summary of Heifetz's genius. I've never understood how people who claim to love violin can compare Heifetz with others. You can compare the others between themselves but not with Heifetz, for goodness's sake, he's simply a different dimension, and if you can't hear that - you're simply deaf.

Just a few comments to some of the people on this comment thread. It's called a metronome, not a metro-note. And the proper tune for proper intonation is in-tune, not in tone. And yes, Heifetz is a-freaking-mazing.

2/2:But there were others who aren't less perfect and have also great sound:look at Francescatti,Rabin,interestingly enough Menuhin's version,too.Please don't tell you names and don't be like the Pharisee who knew God's word like no one else but who didn't recognize nevertheless that Jesus was their Redeemer.Respect other opinions and other music taste.

1/2:Without any doubt Heifetz is one of the greatest violinists ever.I particullarly love his recordings especially of the concert recordings, Bach and the encores-and his interpretation of Bazzini is one of the greatest versions.

heifetz made few errors in recordings, and most were hardly ever distinguishible, and considering he only ever made one take, which like ipmoic has clarified as a fact one that i can vouch for as well(i've seen interviews and diaries of milstein, oistrakh, menuhin etc all of which confirm this), that is why heifetz is considered the greatest violinist ever
lawlaw122 3 years ago 3
Not at all to detract from Heifetz, whom I also revere as one of the greatest violinists who has lived and who will ever live, but if you listen closely to the last movement of one of his recordings of Bruch's Scottish Fantasy, I do believe he makes a noticeable error.
OH NOES ONE ERROR?!
-takes off hat to Heifetz-
:]
Khu827 2 years ago 2
Just to clarify--Recordings before the mid-1950's were always done in ONE TAKE. Often performers recorded a piece 3 times and chose the one they thought best. This is a known FACT. (Remember that video where Heifetz and his wife are choosing the best performance? That's because they were done in one take. Most of Heifetz, Menuhin, Oistrakh, etc., ad infinitum were all done in one take. So stop talking about fixing up mistakes. Before the late '50's it was NOT done!

There is no question in my mind that this is Heifetz--the past generation of violinist had indelible styles that you recognize as soon as you heard them. Heifetz did make errors recording was known to do many retakes in order to attain an absolutely perfect recording. It is quite possible that there were screw ups in the editing of this before final production-perhaps the flawed copy was mixed up with the perfected copy and sent to press, IT HAPPENS!

let me point out that there aren't many mistakes in this recording at all, and the left hand pizzicato is godly.
the intonation immaculate. this does sound like the fierce playing of Heifetz
anyhow this is obviously a great recording, and the left hand pizz is perfectly fine.

bashee3 3 years ago 7
i believe this is heifetz, i have an accoustic recording of him recording this piece at the age of 16 and this one sounds pretty much the same just faster, REMEMBER THIS IS AN ACCOUSTIC RECORDING so of course its not gonna sound like the last heifetz concert you saw, and also to all you noobs who think his left hand pizzicato is off IT IS NOT, ITS PERFECTLY IN RHYTHM AND INTONATION IS PERFECT...ffs at least look at the notes before you criticize
lawlaw122 3 years ago 5
This is indisputably Heifetz. It's his distinctive sound. I recognize his sound in the same way I would recognize a close relatives voice.
If you just want to judge by counting subtle impurities, watch Perlman's video. This is even cleaner, and Perlman's awesome. It's just an impossible piece to play perfectly.
Digdablues 3 years ago 7
IMO Heifetz's mistakes always stick out more than other people's just because he's always so perfect, it sticks out more.
Like staining a white surface vs. any other color.
Must be a horrible curse to live with, getting punished for being so good.
Just my humble opinion, no one has to agree.

second. the playing kinda falters around the left hand pizzicato, which is not something Heifetz would do.
dodddd29383 3 years ago
I agree too! Besides of mistakes and rhythmic inaccuracies because of technic difficulties the sound here is completely different to that of Heifetz. Sometimes the vibrato is close to him. Nevertheless: I believe: this cannot be J.H.- BUT: this violin player is a pretty good one. Congratulations!
eckarteckart 3 years ago
I agree! Not quite how Heifetz normally sounds. At a pinch, we could make allowances for the fact that this may not be studio conditions - that is, bearing in mind Heifetz often had the microphones very close indeed - which would account for the uncharacterically 'distant' violin sound. Quality playing indeed, but doesn't quite fit one's usual aural picture of the great man. (Would be good to know who it is though!)

Heifetz is way better than Menuhin who ever said that Menuhin is better than Heifetz. I respect Menuhin's playing, but Heifetz does not make a lot of mistake. I'm not saying that Menuhin makes a lot of mistakes, but I've heard some wacky sounds come out of his violin like hissing, or too much bow pressure. They're still both great violinists!
