JASCHA HEIFETZ (full name Joseph Ruvimovich Heifetz , January 20 (February 2) in 1901 , Vilnius - December 10 1987 , Los Angeles ) - American violinist of Jewish origin. Considered one of the greatest violinists of the XX century .
He was born February 2 1901 in Vilna ( Russian empire ), the son of music teacher Ruvin Elievicha Heifetz and Hai Israelevna Sharfshteyn. He began violin lessons at age three and soon had the reputation of a prodigy . In the first six years of age took part in a concert where he performed the Concerto by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy .
In 1910 began studying at the St. Petersburg Conservatory . In 1913 visited during a tour of Europe, Sweden and Germany, where he became acquainted with Fritz Kreisler .
In 1917 his first visit to the United States , where he spoke October 17 at Carnegie Hall . Heifetz chose to stay in the U.S. and in 1925 became an American citizen. November 7 1917 was the first to write your game for commercial purposes. During World War II often spoke to the soldiers at the front to lift their morale.
The fourth tour in Israel -- In 1953 during the fourth tour in Israel, Heifetz included in his program a violin sonata by Richard Strauss . At the time, Richard Strauss was considered by many Israelis as Nazi composer and his works were unofficially banned in Israel, together with the works of Richard Wagner.
The fourth tour in Israel -- Despite the request of the Israeli Government to change the program, insubordinate Heifets, said: "Music of the above factors ... I will not change my program. I have the right to choose their own repertoire. " Despite this statement, during the tour the audience greeted this sonata silence.
The fourth tour in Israel -- After a concert in Jerusalem for Heifets young man approached and tried to hit him with an iron rod. Heifetz was his right hand to protect from being hit by his violin.
The fourth tour in Israel -- When the attacker began to flee, Heifetz guards shouted that they were shooting at fleeing, but he was never arrested. Threats continued to come, but Heifetz said he did not cease to perform Strauss. The last concert was canceled because the hand continued to hurt. Heifetz had left Israel and did not return until 1970 .
Educator -- Jascha Heifetz was very active as a teacher, teaching first at the University of California (Los Angeles) , then to the University of Southern California, close to friends and colleagues Gregory Pyatigorsk and William Primrose .
Educator -- For several years in the eighties he also gave private lessons at his home in Beverly Hills . There is evidence that Heifetz, being an adherent of iron discipline, disposed to lock the gate of his house by the beginning of the lesson, in order to teach students the latecomers.
Educator -- At present, the former studio Kolbernskoy Heifetz in school used to conduct master classes and serves as an inspiration to students of the conservatory.
Educator -- During his teaching career Heifetz brought such prominent artists as Pierre Amuayyal , Eric Friedman, Rudolph Kulman , Yuval Yaron, Eugene Fodor , Carol Sindell, Adam Han-Gorski, Robert Witte, Elizabeth Mateski, Claire Hodgkins, Yukiko Cameos, Varuyan Koyan, Sherry Kloss , Elaine Skorodin, Paul Rosenthal, Ike Agus.
The Havanaise in E major (French: Havanaise en mi majeur), Op. 83, is a composition for violin and orchestra based on the habanera rhythm, written in 1887 by Camille Saint-Saëns. It is one of the standards of the classical concertante repertoire.(From Wikipedia)
Though this might be a little late, he had the Dolphin Stradivarius, the Piel Stradivarius, the ex-David Guarnerius which he liked the most, and a Tononi. So he had both.
I thoroughly enjoy this music & performance from Mr Heifetz. I'm only disappointed that I haven't learned/performed it yet myself. Bless the LORD my soul, and I hope to be able to play this & other great music (again) soon!
EVerybody is dumb this playing is realistic... like a recital. not now where people can stop the track and redo a section they couldnt do it back then. its been 50 years now and still no one can play as good as him
@aimson I couldn't agree more.People seem to see Heifetz as the unsurpassable limit to violin technique,and that is just not so.Gulli is the first to pop up in my mind as well whenever this arguement is raised.Anyway,I guess the point here is that there is so much more to Heifetz than just technique and I hope people will see that,afterall,if technique was all that mattered Gulli would be "Heifetz"not Heifetz,if you know what I mean:)
Simple: he's possessed by the same devil that possessed Paganini. He was an awe-inspiring force on stage, and a terrifying creature off stage. Both qualities make for an amazing talent.
Sometimes i do feel like Heifetz can skip over beautiful moments with a slightly harsh interpretation. (and by harsh i don't mean tone quality) I thought this at the section starting at 3:45, but then the link from 4:14 for about 6 bars (i think) was so chirpy and made total sense, it kind of explains what he had done previously.
okay, what i wrote quite clearly makes no sense to anyone! never mind. technical marvel of his time.
At the end of his life, Jascha Heifetz told to Pierre Amoyal to play Havanaise of Camille Saint-Saens, he must see before the sensuality of Cuban dancers.
Heifetz really surprised me with this piece. He usually plays more expressive pieces worse than pieces that focus on technique, but he definitely plays this the best out of everybody else i've heard!
What an idiotic generalization. How many of his recordings have you actually heard? The truth is that Heifetz is AT HIS BEST in expressive Romantic pieces.
That is entirely a matter of opinion. What I meant by my comment is that although Heifetz was a genius with technique, he didn't always display his emotion in more Romantic pieces, and when we hear something coming from him as lovely as this, it makes it so much more special because it's so rare.
Of course. But opinion should be rooted in facts. It is here where you are actually wrong. He excelled in the more Romantic pieces. About this there is consensus of opinion. Perhaps you should list for me the ones that you know and indicate in which ones his characteristic white-hot passion is missing.
ranthony, very good to see that you have some ambition. but maybe for starters, you could try to learn the basics of violin playing first. you don't sound like you know anything about the violin playing at all.
ranthony1903, I'll lend you a Strad and I'll even give you a week to get used to it but if you can then play like Heifetz or anyone who we know and love as soloists, I'll get you he CD recording deal of a lifetime! Fortunately I won't have to do that now, will I? (The answer is NO, in case you were wondering). Stop taking whatever drugs you're on and get a life!
He has a Guarneri and Strad but he prefers the Guarneri "for its robust sound"
I really want a Strad. One built a hundred years ago or so would do nicely :) Jascha's Strad was built in 1731 and his Guarneri was built in 1742 I think.
Thank you for posting. I have this piece on a very old vinyl with Francescatti playing with Columbia Symphony. It is about worn out. I am glad i googled and found your download. Its beautiful.
I would also like to add that this recording was made in 1924 when Heifetz was only 23 years old. I will post other recordings that he made from 1917-1924 (16-23 years old) because I have this fancy little green box set sitting around gathering dust, waiting to be opened :)
On another of my pages, I commented on the versatility of Heifetz' playing. There are some times where I feel his emotion is lacking and some times where I feel his technique is lacking. Most importantly, I understand that a truly great musician like Heifetz learns to shift to the individual qualities of the music instead of playing everything the same way like other lesser musicians.
@Tenorgeiger Sure, everybody is deaf and crazy from time to time. Heifetz was not always 100% perfect in his playing, which was the point of my post. Every violinist has strengths and weaknesses at different times with different pieces. For example, his early recording of the Bazzini sounds in better tune than his later recording. In another, have you ever heard Gulli play? His intonation is more perfect than Heifetz, it truly is amazing. Trust me, Heifetz is my favorite but I'm not deaf either.
@aimson I couldn't agree more.People seem to see Heifetz as the unsurpassable limit to violin technique,and that is just not so.Gulli is the first to pop up in my mind as well whenever this arguement is raised.Anyway,I guess the point here is that there is so much more to Heifetz than just technique and I hope people will see that,afterall,if technique was all that mattered Gulli would be "Heifetz"not Heifetz,if you know what I mean:)
@HeifetzRanew lol even Heifetz himself admitted he was not perfect. I think he said sth like" i just correct them faster than others so it sounds perfect" or sth
@aimson Gulli wasn't a fraction of Heifetz in any aspect of violin playing or music making. Another stupid ignorant Youtube 'expert'. Why can't stupid people like this just STFU?
@Bluecorvette69 Unfortunately, in this case YOU are the ignorant youtube commentator who needs to shut your fucking face up. You have every right to criticize my opinion or the merit of musicians but not to come on my channel bitching about how stupid you think I am. Gain about 10 years in age before you come back here again, unless you magically mature into an intelligent, thoughtful, and respectful adult overnight. toodles
Reading the comments on various artists, it seems nothing explains people's passions: positive or negative. For me Heifetz' playing overflows with emotion. I don't think it's possible to separate technique and emotion. Good technique is needed to tug the listener's heart strings. One can feel emotion in response to Bach's music because of its perfection, but Chausson's poeme has so much emotion, a violinist would have to be pretty bad to not evoke emotion in the listener.
i dont always listen to violin solos, but when i do i prefer jascha heifetz

It's thanks to his mastering of the violin that he can express all this. Thank you God for that you brought us Heifetz!
