This performance is average, his earlier rendition was outstanding. One thing I don't understand is why Yehudi lost his magic at such a young age (after his 20s)
@Thecarbolicsmokeball I wondered that too...I heard his bow arm suffered from some disease but yea...i wouldn't say 20s ..but like his quality dropped after 40
I prefer Itzhaks interpretation to this. He phrases the broken chords, as this guy does not. He does speed up a bit but thats about all. The rest are pretty straight and to me that is just not as interesting
The variation of the arpeggios in Bach's Chaconne is me favourite... Here Menuhin does awesome work.. Perlman and Hilary Hahn do great work too on this!!
he had a great teacher, enescu which taught him ranges of vibratos, you can hear the different kinds of vibratos, not with heifetz

I mean, like, is it worth it practise so hard and all you get is that you play your fiddle in bunch of a hall full of fat old stinky farts?
