[frederickgauss]

[landolfiviolin1]

Impossible to play better is he das!!!

[MrArdelco1970]

fantastic SOUND !

[pitbullgirl65]

So beautiful.

[TheEvilEmporerBunny]

That guy could probably crush a brick of neutron star with his bare hands

[bach0940]

I absolutely adore his sound!!! its just wonderful!!! 

[anumoli]

in my mind, Mintz rocks out both heifetz  and perlman >:D

[dukeofkbs]

@anumoli I agree.....I'm a classically schooled musician who has had to make my way in the rock and pop world.....and believe me, this is about as rock n roll as it gets !!!

[LEOPARDTWO]

What a human being was Mendelssohn to produce such music! Superb.

[BlueGooDoo]

howcome theres violins/violas on the conductors right?

[StarUponClouds]

1:26 beautiful note x10 and then 1:52 he starts fighting with himself - wonderful!

[shanehodd]

@StarUponClouds I agree, that note is so sweet, I love harmonics and I agree again at 1:52, he captures all the emotion and really drives it out through the violin, interpretation and expression are an amazing thing =)

[jwin1123]

This piece gives me chills EVERY time @ 2:27. Gotta love Mendelssohn

[judycfl]

Super

[htr93]

my favourite apart is from 1:30

[violin957]

ALL THE WAY!!!!

[woodmaster413]

just look at his smile at 0:04. he's enjoying it immensly. i wish i could get that from music.

[htr93]

of course he do! You know...my teacher told me, and i think she was absolutely correct, she said:

The audience can enjoy the music up so much as a musician who listens to, so, practice more, and have a good time, or no one else will!

@woodmaster413 

holy words

[ancutzaa1]

@woodmaster413 this is how people who really feel the music FEEL! that's why he smile like an angel there! he feel the music, he live the music, not just play it! and that's the most important distinction between a person who just play a concerto/something else, and a great musicians who touches your souls when he play!!! 'cause he's not just playing it, he's living it, with all his heart, mind and body!

[anumoli]

@ancutzaa1 theres one video with heifetz playing, where he just kept speeding up and eventually the orchestra couldnt keep up haha, i thought it was quite funny, dont think he felt the orchestra bhind him xD

[darkkerrigan]

@ancutzaa1 This man is AMAZING in his touch and the way he feels this masterwork. Most other musicians just turn this into a show of how fast they can play and ruin it. He truly brings out all the wonderful aspects of this!
