@nihontonman- checking things out, the version of the Chaconne I heard on You Tube was the one by Nathan Milstein, not Goldstein! But listen to it anyway, it's really exquisite!
Nobody played the Vitali Chaconne like my late husband, Nathan Goldstein, who played as a soloist many years ago; but then, because of circumstances of need because of marriage and children, joined the New York Philharmonic for almost forty years. Nathan had the passion and tenderness that this piece is all about.
@wildstoneflower I just listened to the video of your husband playing this piece, and yes, it was absolutely exquisite! Very passionate, and the performance is so clean, both he and the pianist working together- I take my hat off! What an incredible musician he was!
Can you people stop comparing versions? They're all different. I've heard all of them and it's not like they have "more passion" or "less passion". Seriously. They all have the beautiful elegant qualities of this piece and they all recognize the fact that each and every note is absolutely necessary.
@iLessThan3Jesus Do you seriously measure passion? If you can't hear the beauty in everyone's different style of playing, then... I believe you're the one at loss. Once a person gets to Oistrakh, Sarah Chang, or any other famous violinist's level and is famous for their skill, it's not a matter of the amount of passion anymore because there are so many people that love their music just the way it is.
He doesn't always play like this. Fact is his sound is always beautiful but often I would rather watch paint dry than listen to him, he is often boring, turgid and lacking in variety. Yet here he has intensity, poetry, colour, and at no loss to his usual tonal quality. I often wondered if he was so non controversial because he was from behind the iron curtain, and was just toeing the party line. Reckon he was let out for the day here, awesome!
i would listen and listen to oistrakh, knowing that even if i tried and tried, i wouldnt be able to produce such a beautiful sound from even the same violin. but even so, this song is still so amazing that it makes me keep trying until i can do as well i can, but as we all know, there is no limit to the songs, even for the greatest of them all.
@violinpenguinfreak i agree. i hope some day, if i practice really hard, I could at least get close to his level. i love his version better than sarah chang... more passion... very very beautiful.
@PinkyWhite01 yeah, that's true. sarah chang is a undeniably great violinist, but i didnt quite really enjoy the way she interpreted chaconne. my opinion was that oistrakh's version spoke more out to me than sarah chang's.
Recordings, when put on youtube, or converted from one file type to another carelessly, often shift up or down a quarter tone, it's interesting and unfortunate. That's one possible explanation. Another is that we've tuned up (We're now tuning between about A 442-444) and he could be tuned as low as A 438 or 436. Another is that this was simply converted off a record, and it's possible the tone was either printed incorrectly or was worn down over time.
@haleyelizabethmiller Sarah Chang does have a very nice version of this, but it's just that her interpretation is more modern than Oistrakh's. But if we were to talk about the amount of skill present, depth and character, Oistrakh would win by more than a landslide. Oistrakh plays this piece so delicately. Chang is great as well, but her's is more straight forward. Her interpretation is very impressive though.
Wow...but i expect nothing less from this legend. Where are today's oistrakh, heifeitz, menuhin, milstein, stern, francescatti, elmen? Where have they gone? I mean no disrespect to todays wonderful artists, but lets be frank, they can't even begin to compare to these natural wonders of the world. If we ever get the chance to share our art with another sentient species, let's hope we show them this and not 50 cent or eminem or lady gaga...jeese, we have lost our way lol
@garrrynec they stil exist, but they are more in isolation... we have artists like maxim vengerov and itzhak perlman, great violinists and we have songwriters like thom yorke who expand music within their genres in our modern age... all I want is one great composer comparable to Rachmaninoff, V. Williams, beethoven, bach etc.
@Mnacuspia004 well, If you're interested,since the original Vitali arrangement (if he indeed wrote it), it was arranged by a fellow named Ferdinand David, then later by Léopold Charlier, and eventually by Leopold Auer, who popularized the piece by introducing it to his studio at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Among his students were jascha Heifetz, Mischa Elman, Efrem Zimbalist, etc, who each performed it at various times in their careers.
this is the best version of this piece on youtube, maybe the best i've ever heard, but I dont think David is the best violinst, its hard to put on number on just one, they all have their of days, but my fav to listen to is kogan, i have heard nothing but good from him, Pearlman like to take to much liberties with alot of things, and David has a couple recordings on here that arent top quaility
i hate how people compare all these versions. listen and enjoy they're different because they are people who are different. appreciate them for who they are and enjoy their wonderful music
@KittyPlaysViolin How absolutely right you are!! If everyone played everything the same way, how boring that would be? I like to hear different interpretations of a piece as it expresses that musician's individuality (as long as the interpretation doesn't stray too far from the composer's original intentions).
@KittyPlaysViolin Only by comparing and contrasting can one make intelligent judgments. Nothing is more insipid than the "everyone's version is valid and good, only different" approach. There can be more than one great rendition but many fall short of acceptable quality.
@2ndviolinist Sorry for the confusion, I did not mean that necessarily everyone's version is perfect and correct. Many who have not mastered the piece could produce less than acceptable renditions I agree there I meant to say that the versions of the masters such as Francescatti, Oistrakh, Milstein, etc or those who have truly mastered this piece are beautiful works different from each other. I wouldn't necessarily say that Francescatti's faster tempo is better than Heifetz's for example :]
@KittyPlaysViolin --AMEN to that! Give several different painters the same kind of paint brush and the same kind of canvas and they all paint differently. *"*They express THEMSELVES artistically** Kitty..you play violin? Oh TEACH me!--Joni
i see now what most say.. he puts so much emotion into this song compared the to heifetz version (sorry for comparing lol) both have some very key parts they do well. i may use a little bit of both while practicing this piece. i love this song so much..
This is the Leopold Charlier edition which he tweaked the piece a bit to make it into a more virtuosic piece.The original written/edited by Ferdinand David is different.They are usually treated as different pieces however.
@AmelieWuensche I have heard all really big violinists and also have compared them with each other. For me the best of all and all times --- is HEIFETZ!!
A passacaglia is possibly different from a Chaconne. They are still debating.
From my understanding, a Passacaglia repeats the ground bass (basso ostinato) while a Chaconne repeats a harmony or a harmonic progression with variations within the harmony.
In my opinion is Passacaglia the same as Chaconne. The only difference can be that Passacaglia is usually in 4/4 and Chaconne in 3/4 measure. My opinion.
i really love the way he plays this piece, you can really feel his soul pouring out of his violin ... just love this piece so much, one of the best ones ever composed
there isn't really an original arrangement. nobody knows who really wrote this piece . the accepted rumor is that vitali did not write this but some later romantic composer did. there is no known origin. BUT, this is the most common version. sarah chang plays a condensed arrangement.
emotionally this piece was good, but in technique it certainly wasn't perfect. That's why I'm frustrated, cause people who say oistrakh is better than heifetz generally completely ignore his technical superiority. That being said, I believe that oistrakh is just as good as heifetz, just different fields.
I`d also agree that Heifetz is technically better than Oistrakh was.
In listening you have to seperate the technical- from the emotional part of the piece, then make your choice which musician you more prefere. It depends on the piece, the musician, 'sometimes' the recorded quality, and your own standards, which one your favorit is. Heifetz introduced 'technally accurate' playing in his time, but Oistrakh plays passionated.
Both excellent musicians, but Oistrakh stole my heart...
This is definitely my favourite recording of this piece. It has the tenderness along side the raw emotion the piece gives out. And the slide at 00:32 is just perfect! No one else has done that!
This has been my fav interpretation of this piece out of all the greats - it has a gentleness and melancholy and the other don't really have, or communicate as well. I really love his playing!
After hearing this, I had to go and find the sheet music. Have been practicing for a few weeks now.. it's tough! but I have made it one of my goals in life. Must master Chaconne Vitali!!
It's really beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this piece of music played by Oistrakh. And I agree with you on the 'do not compare' part. :D
Sorry to contradict this video's poster but - this really is the best. Oistrakh was the greatest - what a sad loss his untimely death was to the world!
i have to play this for my jury coming up, so i'm listening to many different recordings. Oistrakh is definetly a great one! i'll have my hands full cause this piece is so hard but so beautiful!
This song is so unique in the sense that it rips my heart apart but touches my soul at the same time. Great song played by great musician. I dare to use the word "perfect" for Vitali's Chaconne.
Não me canso! :D

emotionally this piece was good, but in technique it certainly wasn't perfect. That's why I'm frustrated, cause people who say oistrakh is better than heifetz generally completely ignore his technical superiority. That being said, I believe that oistrakh is just as good as heifetz, just different fields.

I`d also agree that Heifetz is technically better than Oistrakh was.
In listening you have to seperate the technical- from the emotional part of the piece, then make your choice which musician you more prefere. It depends on the piece, the musician, 'sometimes' the recorded quality, and your own standards, which one your favorit is. Heifetz introduced 'technally accurate' playing in his time, but Oistrakh plays passionated.
Both excellent musicians, but Oistrakh stole my heart...

Please, no more discusions of kind "who is better, oistrakh or heifetz?", it's an ignorance exercise.
Both are gods of violin, by different ways. So that.

its a half step flat, the recording was probably skewed

but I like it BETTER a half step flat. I think it sounds more romantic.

This is definitely my favourite recording of this piece. It has the tenderness along side the raw emotion the piece gives out. And the slide at 00:32 is just perfect! No one else has done that!

This has been my fav interpretation of this piece out of all the greats - it has a gentleness and melancholy and the other don't really have, or communicate as well. I really love his playing!

After hearing this, I had to go and find the sheet music. Have been practicing for a few weeks now.. it's tough! but I have made it one of my goals in life. Must master Chaconne Vitali!!

It's really beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this piece of music played by Oistrakh. And I agree with you on the 'do not compare' part. :D

Sorry to contradict this video's poster but - this really is the best. Oistrakh was the greatest - what a sad loss his untimely death was to the world!

dying in his 70s isn't really considered untimely. but he was a great musician.

This song is so unique in the sense that it rips my heart apart but touches my soul at the same time. Great song played by great musician. I dare to use the word "perfect" for Vitali's Chaconne.
