[Schmitty39]

Mr.Holmes...Dr.Watson...

[SpikeJonesTheCr0oked]

IMO this is the best version of the Tchaikovsky melody on YouTube.

[sevcik2]

What a marvelous moment!!

Josef Hassid... a great violinist!

[paulostroff99]

[Herur22]

@CanadaPisces

Extremely beautiful. I am very glad that you sent me this, James. Thank you for uploading, KyotoMelody,

[MusicStreamInTheWind]

@CanadaPisces you're right, Heifetz is a superb violinists! I'd favorited this beautiful video in my channel for a certain time, thank you for sharing!

Thank you KyotoMelody for posting! : )

[monkgroupie]

Thank you KyotoMelody for posting the magical, heart-wrenching music from Josef Hassid.

Maybe God decided he couldn't be parted from Josef Hassid for too long. That's why he called him back so soon. At least we have his recordings here.

[mmbmbmbmb]

Josef Hassid and Tchaikovsky ... a match made in heaven. Superb! And you could not have chosen a better video for it. Thank you!

[RukeFarvrey]

What kind of person would put a "thumbs down" for this beautiful music? And they called Mr. Hassid crazy.

[aldego1]

sono sempre i migliori ad andarsene presto !!!

questo non era un violinista, era un grande Poeta del violino !!!

[malikrox]

Goddamn schizophrenia, goddamn medieval practice of lobotomizing patients with mental disorders!... So beautiful...

[RHM741]

This is the first time I hear Josef H., and am saddened by his early passing.

The melancholy and sensitivity are unsurpassable in this young soul; his music left a poignant trace of the emotional elements wrapped in the early human condition - an inescapable sense of tragedy in any generation. If life is worth living till today, it should be the enlightenment from darkness and suffering.

Let those passing be our new strength to do and serve a better world. Thank you for this video.

[lanarv]

SO FRAGILE... like Hassid himself

I wanted these 3:24 min WERE LONGER :-)

P.S. This cruel lobotomy surgery is also on YouTube..couldn't watch it  to the end..ooh

[melomansarasatiste]

That's not a human, this is an angel playing, that's why people like this have such tragedies,, because the world is enough crual to kill them

[themusicdr]

the master of melody Tchaikovsky played by the master of violin Josef Hassid

[54spiritedwill54]

[nocturne163]

amazing interpretation and wonderful images :)

[waistoi]

Wow how beautiful

[adamwas]

God Tchaikovsky knew how to write music

[petrof4056]

josef hassid was a genius! Very musician!

what a pity that he disappeared so quickly. He could be among us today

[Daisy4dk]

Thank you for this beautiful moment with Hassid and the swans. Almost takes my breath away.

*****

[KyotoMelody]

Hmm... I've just posted a reply but I dont see it so I try again. You are so right, Oelte. I dont believe that Hassid was ill. Never! An asylum itself can drive any sane person to an insane one!

[oelte]

When someone is first given electric shock then insulin shock and then lobotomized then YES they have a mental condition. It's called a damaged brain from "treatment." Before this I know Josef was nothing but an extremely sensitive boy who wasn't allowed to love the girl he had fallen for because she wasn't Jewish. Expressing his sadness about that was obviously not allowed nor seen as a form of therapy by the people who abused him in what they called "treatment."

[BachLoveNat]

beautiful....

[engine1385]

Hassid - one of the great tragedies in the history of music. If he had lived and if his mental condition could have been treated perhaps he'd still be playing today, just as Ida Haendel does from time to time.

[ConventOber]

i wish he hadn't been lobotomised...

[jiangqichen]

hassi一定是历史上最好的小提琴家之一 ！

[puccini4711]

Mit Seinen engelhaften Klang,berührt Er, den letzten Winkel meiner Seele. Es gibt nichts vergleichbares.

[harleynanda]

Thank you so much for posting this. The images of the swans are very nice. Thank you for that as well.

[macciboma]

Nessuno è più bravo di Hassid, è un genio del violino, e sempre resterà. Grazie del video.

[govibe]

I'm sorry, Heifetz is much more elegant

[emarkov]

please dont talk rabish !!!!! hassid is playing this the best !!! this is genious playing so please dont talk rabish !!!!!

[schilippe]

what the hell is rabish?

[KyotoMelody]

Well.... Heifetz is one of my favorite violinists, I love him too but, in my opinion, Heifetz wasnt successful in some certain kinda music... such as Bach's. Dont u see my videos arent posted to response to any others? I respect them all. Each of violinists has his or her own place in my heart, no matter where they come from or what skin color they have. I brought Hassid's here because at time I posted these videos, there werent any of Hassid's.

I donno how u definite the word "elegant".

[eddielu620]

@KyotoMelody I am unable to extricate Hassid's interpretation with his own sad story... so in the sense that his wist is conveyed by more than just his playing, but rather his story also (for us listeners) Hassid's version has an edge over Heifetz's for me. I understand this can't be a universal truth, but I confess that I am a victim of the correlation between Hassid's life and his interpretation. Heifetz's version is equally as beautiful, however, in and of itself.

[KyotoMelody]

@eddielu620 I had no idea who Hassid was when I listened his recordings for the first time. I used to admire Heifetz so much that I let his shadow cover all other great violinists such as, Oistrakh, Kogan etc... And then I "had to" hear Hassid's Humoresque. I got thrilled listening to it. I asked the friend who made me hear it, "This is not Heifetz's who is the violinist?" "It's Hassid!" "Who is Hassid? His sounds better than Heifetz's!" "I couldn't agree with you more!" my friend replied.

[KyotoMelody]

@eddielu620

.... Few days later, I Googled for Hassid's life. Yes, I think there is a correlation btw Hassid's life and his interpretation, in a way.

[msiu]

I actually don't remember ever hearing Heifetz play this - did he even record it?

[lolmanerik]

of course. one studio and a live recording with the bell orchestra

[Evertsillem]

very nice!

[RydleyZzZ]

amazing playing and the swans are lovely =)

[freakylinxxx]

I love hassid, his music is so heartfelt. I have this recording along with Neveu- is that where you got this from?

[macciboma]

Grande violinista suona col cuore e l'anima,

la dolce melodia del mio preferito compositore.

Grazie di averci data la possibilità di

ascoltarlo.

[paulostroff99]

Sensational playing,great and beautiful videos.What more can one want in life.Thank you again KyotoMelody for continuing to enrich mine!

[BarNuun]

Well this is most pretty KM, an actual Swan Lake along with an ornithologist's selection and great Josef Hassid music, again. Pianist Gerald Moore was considered an elite accompaniest of the last 75 years. He wrote a book on it.

[KyotoMelody]

Thanks so much BarNuun. :)
