Elman plays Saint-Saens - Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso

[pippofan123]

O som de Elman! E nessa peça, o aproach de Elman! Elman nos oferece essa joia, lentamente, para que possamos beber cada nota, gota a gota, como se bebe um cálice de Porto.

why just listen to the music he didn't play it like the others he added his own 'little nuances' that were all his and clear as a BELL~ He played it HIS way...he stopped and slowed down where others would have just flown over the bar without stopping to smell the roses...wow....wow

I don't think we'll ever hear anything like him ever again. A talent like that doesn't just happen - it takes generations of musical families to produce such an artist.

Is the recording too sharp or its just they tune concert A >440 ?

[kelleypm3]

@ianchow107 it's probably tuned to 440, that seems to be the standard with most orchestras.

Very different interpretation from more recent ones but excellent! He was a wonderful fiddler!

yes he was wonderful. he was not like todays "greenhouse-violinists" and had his personality.
