Yehudi Menuhin and David Oistrakh - Bach Double Violin (Pt 1).avi

[aclarar47]

Hay tantas cosas que porque son "Fàciles" de aprender cualquiera las pueda hacer bien es una simplificaciòn aqui lo que vale es la tècnica perfecta, como para poder entregarse a la interpretaciòn con toda el alma y conseguir que el pùblico disfrute como si estubiera en el cielo, eso diferencia al artista.-

[CallMeBusy]

i dont want to say that menuhin or oistrakh are bad fiddlers...they are some of the best violinist, i know... but this piece is not hard to play. I've learned it in less 1 month and im 15. Sure not so good like this 2 gods, but so that i can play with it on concerts.

[AccidentalTouch]

@CallMeBusy Do great musicians only have to play complicated virtuoso-concerti? I don't think so. Simplicity is the key. :)

[gugeu88]

@CallMeBusy I learnt it with 13. Does it make me better than you? I don't think so. And if you say it's easy, tell anyone that it's not as virtuous as you and has to make a great effor to play this. Don't say it's easy. It's a really hard piece to play it well, not just to play.

[aclarar47]

@CallMeBusy El hecho de que sea fàcil de aprender no tiene nada que ver con la exelencia de ejecutar con la maestrìa de estos dos señores del violìn.-

[classiccandle27]

Nice.

[tranurse]

this is probably the most beautiful piece of music ever written. i like the stern/perlman version also.

[erawrxrawr]

This is legit

[franco96544]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh.. ANAPURNA ed EVERESTI si sono incontrarti per la gioia dell'umanità!!! Incredibile...fanno venire il nodo alla gola!!

[tachuman]

Menuhin is playing the first part and Oistrakh the second - there is really no difference in difficulty between the two. The second movement is one of the most sublime pieces of music ever written in any period!

[MusicCloud1]

Menuhin's full bow strokes look just a little bit exaggerated. It might just be 'cause of his playing style, but it is kind of troubling to watch Oistrakh give Menuhin the "eye" as Menuhin does those bow strokes. >.>

[butti9249]

A une époque où les "barroqueux" n'éxistaient pas. Période heureuse, pendant laquelle on jouait la vraie musique. Pas comme aujourd'hui.

Les "barroqueux" ont tué la musique classique.

[FakingWindows98]

Brilliant! I'm collecting crew for the orchestra in my music high school to play this piece. Don't forget - Bach's period - 14 bars! That's a magic one for those who know J.S.Bach enough. Thanx to cyosolo for such a good update.

[art4ever1]

this is making me cry,it´s absolutely ubelieveable,beyond words to describe.

altough i prefer david oistrakh,his playing is kind of flowing,the notes perling from the strings of his violin.He was just beyond measures,until today no one can reach his genius of playing,my opinion.

[cantante53]

@art4ever1

I spend hours listening to this and either cry or fall into a trance every time I hear it from the sheer beauty of the music and playing. I love Oistrakh and Menuhin's playing. Thank you to whomever posted this.

[themusicdr]

sheer brilliance

[sarahxboxbeara]

two of my favorite violinists of all time :)

[garrrynec]

@sarahxboxbeara me too...my two others are Gitlis and Heifetz. Then we have Milstein, Stern and Enescu. All my favorites, shamefully, are all I listen to. I just can't seem to get the same feeling for today's artists.

[jonnykam]

@garrrynec

I humbly suggest you some other names: Ferras, Kogan, Szeryng and the still alive Perlman and Mintz. Alongside with the authors you cited we have the olympus of the violin!!!

[garrrynec]

@jonnykam actually, I am quite aware of them as well. I just didn't want to list off a dozen names you know? Actually, Mintz i haven't heard of, so I will check that musician out for sure!! Tibeau, Szigetti as well as Franscescatti all have a well deserved spot on Olympus of Violin too lol

[hsviolinplayer]

@garrrynec Hi! Might I suggest checking out Hilary Hahn? Particularly her Bach? (Heifetz and Milstein were two of her inspirations, so you might find more of what you're looking for in her playing.) You may have heard Hilary Hahn's interpretations of other composers, but her take on Bach is divine. :) (Sorry, I'm a huge fan!)

[garrrynec]

@hsviolinplayer I'll check it out. But Hilary, to me, is too much obsessed with perfection rather than colour (in my opinion). I would have to say the Menuhin Oistrakh combo is my favorite for bach. So much personality there. But I will check her Bach out for sure. Thanks for the recommendation.

[hsviolinplayer]

@garrrynec Sure! I must say the Menuhin/Oistrakh really is a wonderful recording. My violin teacher told me that when he watched this video on TV was when he truly realized "ah-ha! THAT is why you practice!" :)

[travonprince]

Wonderful!! That's all i can say!

[malaisennui]

Some years back as a young punk rocker, my sister had the Dbl violin cntrto with with both david and igor oistrakh (I would smeak it into my room),,,, so by accident today I stumble upon this,,, my shirt wet in tears,,, oh dear

[MusicalFeelings]

THANK YOU, GRAZIE !!!!!

[billace90]

I saw Menuhin in person back in the 60's in the Casals Festival in San Juan. Then the concerts were celebrated at the UPR Theater and Don Pablo invited the top recording stars and ascending ones (like Pearlman, DuPre, Mehta, etc,etc.) I guess I was at the right place at the right time.

[slee12dent]

Wow is it exaggerated bow movement, or because they are maestros?

[fiddlestyx3006]

Oistrach is phenominal in the 2nd Movement, menuin is also but man Oistrach is rich & phat on his sound!

[aerztin13]

I love Menuhin!!! HE was my inspiration whan I played the violin!

[tanakarf]

menhuins bowing is so aggressive

[goethethegreat]

This second movement is evocotive of Isaac Beshevis Singer's Shtetle. (I understand that is not what Johan intended.) However, these two Yidin play with such a hartfelt sincerity, that you cannot help but gasp and be reminded of seasons past in a small cozy shtetle.

[1234JAYDAVIS]

Thank you so much. This is wonderful . . .

[denico1000]

Thank you for posting this amazing video ! I love Menhunin and especially Oistrakh

[fedeminiciUK]

Unbeatable.... that's all I can say....

[ics002]

Oistrak died in the early 1970's(1972 or 1974) -he had one heart attack and a couple of years later when the second heart attack came around is what killed him.I love this sort of masterpieces where good players can transform any song into a joy and pleasant sound...Both players were talented,both won prestigious awards and in the end each other's friendship...What a wonderful piece!

[paulostroff99]

Can this ever be played any better. Bravo!

[spikedardens]

i enjoy this version the best. it shows excellent contrast in violin philosophy and personality.

[TehPinkEmoBunni]

Where's the rest of mvmt 2 and 3? T.T

Oistrakh is full of win.

[cjh37878]

I honestly think Menuhin's full of more.

[plutonium142]

omg Yehudi Menuhin pwns also David Oistrakh lol

[lambauze]

nooooo oistrakh dominates despite being on second violin :) such a better tone

[blichilde]

Thank you Cyosolo, we really enjoy this true beauty.

[sultryviolinist]

Don't u hate it when the sickly couch in the middle of musical perfection?

[adafunk]

three legands of classical music; Oistrakh, Menuhin and bach, all together = amazing.

[jandm777]

Did they both die?

If they did, Sad

[benjammin26]

they did, Oistrak died a long time ago, Menuhin a couple of years ago. a tragic loss to the music world.

[Mingling1004]

Its Great!~

The other videos Ive watched where all to fast but this vdeo has exact the right speed!

[marcelkaufman]

Where was this recording done?

I have heared them both on G.Enescu festival 1958

[debartzen]

Gran interpretación.¡Una joya histórica.!

[Gilaziel]

Their bow-work is truly beautiful to watch. It almost becomes a part of their arm- as easy and natural to control as the arm itself.

[waistoi]

A true gem in the history of recordings by the grand masters

[iebpk]

Amazing! What a rare video

Thank you so much for posting
