This is one of the greatest performances I have seen. Thank you for posting it. I am now obsessed with him.

Why does he say the piece is by Rossini? HAHA! I liked it and his daughter was cute.

[joosangbai]

Zigeu: Bazzini he said

[Zigeunerweisen]

I know he means to say Bazzini, but he really says Rossini.

[joosangbai]

Sorry, You are right, He said Rossini, Rossini is better known to him. that's the reason I guess( and me too).

effortless violin playing!

Why does the audience start clapping before the piece is finished ? During the pizzicato ? It is so foolish.

[jneilschulman]

Classical music audiences are accustomed to waiting until the piece is over before applauding, even to the extent of not usually applauding between the movements of a concerto. But this performance was in front of a TV studio audience more accustomed to applauding drum solos, jazz riffs, and sopranos hitting the high note. That sort of instant appreciation is rarely offensive even to a classical performer.

extreme excitement of good perfomance is blamed

also what he just did right befor that was very ...very diffacult...i my self have been playing for almost 12years and have not even come close to what hes doing

This gives one a warm and fuzzy feeling for the 50's.
