Fantastic!A good Duo,Heifetz avec Feuermann!

[paulostroff99]

@82224561 -Good is an insult .These two giants were the best that ever were.

[82224561]

@paulostroff99 I meaned that both interpreters are on the same artistry; Rostropovich's interpretation(with Oistrach) I don't like ,but Oistrach's playing yes.

Feuermann here is above Rostropovich..

A legendary performance chopped off before the end of the movement by YouTube - again. :-(

This is NOT Feuermann playing. The recording is Piatigorsky on the cello. I have this recording and played it SO much when I was younger.

@mauibobwills According to the CD liner notes, this is Feuermann. This is the mono 1939 recording. The 1960 RCA recording with Piatigorsky is in considerably better stereo sound.

@mauibobwills Absolutely not Piatigorsky. I have exactly that recording and have heard it dozens of times. Also, Feuermann plays far more aggressively and his tone is not as deep.

[thechillybeanie]

when was this recorded? thanks :D

[musicanth]

@thechillybeanie I believe this is from Dec. 21, 1939.

Absolutely the two best musicians who ever lived. The flawlessness, the speed, and the perfection of this just further demonstrates that Heifetz and Feuermann have no peer.
