[pinterpijitplus]

[grimo96]

[Liuxxx1]

Awesome

[missanimekitty1]

[CharlesHenriEdouard]

Inceredible. So beautiful

[MrMcSaMc]

thats !!!AMAZING!!!

[MrMcSaMc]

thats !!!AMAZING!!!

[maxreger100]

Perfect tempo and perfect temperament.

I would guess that this is a very young Menuhin--perhaps 15?

Anyone know for sure?

[rapter9800]

Oh my god, what fast left-hand pizzicato :O

[allanramsaysteele]

I orgasm at each harmonic

[themusicdr]

it is fast, def, compared to many others, HOWEVER, it is not uncomfortable or wrong and the great yehudi works his magic brilliantly.

nuff said!!!

[s2p3r]

amazing harmonics sounds like white mice being chased or the chirping of a songbird

[politicopol]

another Menuhin gem...thank you noprodigyboy...

[xephyr417]

listening to this again its not even consistent in intonation....

[dreadedboy51]

Right around 2:50 is the best part of this song. :) Can't get enough of it.

[jairo0892]

hahaha awful!

[xephyr417]

too fast

[Tristius]

@xephyr417 you listen too slow.

[xephyr417]

@Tristius you have no taste.

[corvonuno]

NUNO FLORES IN GOOGLE

[henrykkingdom]

spanish!!

[pikaletres]

no words¡¡¡¡ wonderful

[takhirviolinest]

I have a audio type on Grand CD and it's much slittle be slower. *first movemento*

[Horatiojk]

things wrong about you judging by that sentence:

1) horrible grammar

2) heart of stone for not seeing the "soul" when everyone can

hey stop criticizing legends and take that stick out of your ass

[Kantari100]

I can say you that the "soul" is on.

I am basque and this performance is "quasi perfect"

[sergiotmujica]

i am a basque too... and totally agree with Kantari100!

[emre010203]

too bad he is havent got a musical soul

[calloffthedogs]

Wrong. I think had more soul than just about anybody. What an incredible soul it was too. He was a legendary violinist and even a better human being. This "human" quality is something that he brings to his music. Rest in peace Lord Yehudi.

[themusicdr]

@calloffthedogs indeed v true

he was a magnificent person as well as great violinist

[rawautube]

Damn look who is talking about souls !

[bountyhanz]

I guess u've had a wrong soul.

[themusicdr]

the pizz is mad!

[ipmoic]

Does anyone know the date of this recording?

[closetviolinista]

It's fast, but at least he keeps a recognizable pulse. Thank you Menhuin. Bravo!

[foreverluigi]

there is no greater version, or?

[Daluido]

Mérveilleuse musique, quelle beauté pour les sens. Ceci m'a touché.************

[slimbullet96]

I heard him play this in an encore of a concert in a video ;) It is basically the same tempo you hear in this recording

[kunfusinger]

"BRAVOOOO"!!!!

[banish560]

Dude, this is way too fast~~~

[zerlina77]

I am a great fan of Menuhin but this speed kills all the fun and aim of this score. We should not forget this air is just popular melodies with variations. Was he trying to break a record?

[alexeyrojas]

You think it's too fast, but each violinist has his own speed. You are just accustumed to other versions, that's why you think this is too fast. Try to hear it like it was the first time and you will see this is a wonderful and unique version.

[juggletiff125]

@alexeyrojas an excellent point but not always the case, i often think 'too fast' happens when the player's quality of sound suffers as they cant keep up or if a piece feels like it has a different strong beat pattern, 4/4 feeling more like 2/4 or 1/4 for example. when youngsters play things really slow cos they cant read it fast enough its often hard for them to feel the flow of the music for the opposite reason, its too slooooowwwww....

me

[DraMyte]

@alexeyrojas Never heard before, any version. But know thw basque songs, and this is too fast. Many violinist confuse virtusism with speed.

[closetviolinista]

Have you heard the version of Sarasate himself playing this? It's close to this tempo.

[dzeljpiano]

mysterious ...

[Mnacuspia004]

buff.. cool. he sounds like de devil.

[mtava002]

WTF LOL. is he really playing it that fast? its quite interesting...

[takamori400]

Great performance and musicality!

Just amazing!

[JustinK078]

holy jeepers!!!!!!!

[kiroualekou]

how can you do pizzicato so fast with left hand i don't know-would have liked to see him playing this so fast...

[MerlinTheDraconic]

It seems too fast to me. Nonetheless, it is of course incredibly good.

[takamori400]

It seems to be too fast because of the old recording...but I love him. This is so wonderful!

[loveplayingviolin]

I actually like his speed; it makes it his own rendition.

[perjaromana]

yeah man this is a little to fast

[emre010203]

too bat because too fast

[farzadvengerov]

too fast but fantastic.

[violinist102]

By any chance do you know what year this is from?
