thats not shlomo mintz...

thats james levine, that looks like perlman

[HumanGrinder]

excatly, my mistake!

There's no way James Ehnes is better than Shlomo Mintz. I've heard Ehnes live and I'd rather listen to Mintz's recordings than Ehnes live.

All of the violinists mentioned above have marvelous performances of Sibelius. I have 2 great recordings of Heifetz that I love. These are all so great it is just a matter of taste (I also really like Kaler's) I am looking for this one of Mintz as it is my personal favorite-I about have to go smoke a cigarette after listening to him play; he just tears me out of my frame.

someone out up a video of mintz playing sibelius paganini concerto and caprices and vieuxtemps 5 really stunning to see him actually play them

I agree with haykh khachatryan played it so good,but i don't think that's the best.i think there is not the best,we only can say i like(or love)some performanes.i like ferras's and vengerov's interpretations on this concerto

[haykhhh]

there is no doubt it is amazing! BUT!!! if you want to listen to the best performing of this conserto, i pronounce another name: Sergey Khachatryan, a brilliant and fantastic violinist! extremly gifted and tallented, no one played it better than him !!!

[rareviolintreasures]

My favorite recordings are by shaham, gitlis and Yulian Stikovetsky but this is really a treasure and herd to find!

...and yes ill admit heifetz did very well with this piece, but this is afterall a virtuoso concerto and he always did well with those kind of pieces

I would also like to say I would be much happier if rabin and kogan recorded them!
