Carl Flesch plays Haëndel sonata

[LCLena]

This is wonderful. Carl Flesch is my great grandfather, and my 9-year-old daughter has just started to learn how to play the violin. Remarkably, she is likely the first descendant of Carl Flesch to play the violin! Thank you so much for posting.

I wish I could handle phrases like him.... maybe then I would enjoy Beethoven/Handel/Bach more lol

[TheRandomm1]

thank you for this, needed a recording for my violin!! YES! THANK YOU!

[MusicalSurgeon]

Lovely. Who was the accompanist?

[arglborps]

And its Händel, not Haëndel.

[ipmoic]

He has such an open, warm and seductive tone--a testament to his studies which have been the bible of many great violinists.

Instructive and fascinating.

As always petrof4056, many thanks!

Mozart99900-Szeryng and Rubinstein do the Beethoven 5&9 sonatas,spring and Kreutzer-IMO better than any others ever did.

[calloffthedogs]

try Leonid Kogan and Emil Gilels. You might change your mind.

[KyotoMelody]

No wonder why his students were so great! Thanks for uploading.

[scrabman2121]

wonderful sounds. Thanks a lot

[paulostroff99]

Mozart99900-He was also the teacher of Josef Hassid-perhaps the finest violinist of them all. Fritz Kreizler said "every one hundred years a Heifetz comes along,every 200 years a Hassid!

[paulostroff99]

Mozart99900-Ginette Neveu was also his student.,as was Josef Hassid.

[paulostroff99]

Mozart99900-Josef Szigetti was also his student,and they also recorded together.

[paulostroff99]

Spellbinding! Bravo! A gem of gems.

[ellandelachapelle]

Wow. My new idol!

Thank you for posting this video!

He played a Strad but had to sell it after he suffered the loss of his life's savings and investments from the stock market crash of 1929.

[HeidiHo2001]

What wonderful tone he had! Very clear and sweet! I wonder what kind of violin he played...

[spind]

1725 Strad "Brancaccio"

[mrvat100]

He did have a Strad but this recording was not played on it. It was played on the "ex flesch" violin named after him, made by peter guarneri.

[levapk]

Awesome.
