I watched Symphonic, channel 864 (on TV from 6:00a-6:00a everyday), and saw the composer's name, Vieuxtemps. The title of the song I heard was Greetings to America.

[paganviodio]

what the...cadenza is that?....after that sounds perlman like a student man...a good practiced student...what a technik, what a violinist.... a great recording...really...

[Chonj92]

This was the last song i learned to play on the violin before i quit. listening to this once again really makes me regret quitting... :(

[An0niempje]

@Chonj92 You don't play songs on a violin. You sing songs, you play pieces.

[oldgoat5]

@An0niempje what if you make the violin sing

[An0niempje]

@oldgoat5 Then you don't play a song, the violin sings a song in your hands :P

[MrSkylark1]

Brilliant, dynamics that opera singers should listen to learn something about what artistry unheard of today, is all about

[bushfingers]

Heavenly 

[CKDindustry]

This is one of the best recording of heifetz.

[KosteckiAdam]

Fantastic!!!

[Siberiaeterna]

I know nothing about violin but he plays with a gypsy soul in my opinion and that's divine.

[remusrimbu2]

1:32 it's a little schorcy

anyway heifetz the best articulation ever!5:06,5:20,5:26;5:52!!!

[takhirviolinest]

my dear!

I think, we have not promotion to comment We have to onle listen.

If you know, It's impossible to play excellent because violin is not machine to be every time to get same sound.

[MyMemories19]

Wow, an autograph signing by Jascha Heifetz himself. Nice. That's pretty sweet.

[reesss4]

i a, playing it now, but it's pretty interesting to hear other people playing it :)

[levnest15]

one of my favourite concertos for violin...

people just dont play it that much because it does not fit that "standard 'big' repertoire" list

[Hoplite0001]

There was a time when people played it often...

[takhirviolinest]

It's no concerto It's like cadenze... -)

[billythekid20]

awesome

[redwall818]

The 5th concerto is already on! :D

[jpozaf]

This is not a bad concert, although 5th is better...=)

[takhirviolinest]

I like this concert more than 5. With his Imitation

[lizard0010]

i am playing this song and it is really useful but i wish they showed the guy moving.

other than that it was really good. ^-^

[muffinscousin]

that's impossible. He's a legend and can't appear too much. just kidding i hope so too.

[08sondre91]

you are playing this "song"??

[tttoscanini]

Greatest violinist ever, playing such a bad concerto

[adamwas]

Intense

[UltimateViolin]

This was only Heifetz' 3rd concerto recording, behind Glazunov and Wieniawski #2, which was done right before this record. Quite a shame technology didn't allow for such recordings in his 20s-mid 30s, I usually prefer his earlier sound to his later 50s recordings.

[scottbos68]

i agree he changed his sound later

[PassionateViolinist]

It would be much appreciated to all of us Heifetz lovers if you upload the fifth concerto of Vieuxtemps and added yet another priceless gem.

Thank You

[cromulentinnoc3nce]

Did Heifetz ever record Vieuxtemps 5?

[PeterChang0414]

yes

[cromulentinnoc3nce]

Sorry, I found it on youtube right after asking that question. Should have looked first. But thanks!

[sheepbird]

lol didnt read the other comment lol

[sheepbird]

yea its on youtube lol

[sharlesin]

Now everybody can compare this with the bad student parody of the same movement.

[leonidaskavakos]

Just kidding....
