WONDERFUL! This piece works for two basic reasons, in my opinion. First, there is a substantial cut which tightens up the movement. Second, the part that is cut is written on the high ledger lines and thus is almost inaudible due to the frequency of the sound. If this is indeed a dub, one would never know it because the synchrinization between the music and the motions of the bows could not be better. A thoroughly wonderful video over all.
The video is 1963 dubbed with the audio of the 1934 recording. This is truly phenomenal -- such a clean 3rd movement especially with those double harmonics. Proof that he was one of the very greatest prodigies ever on the violin at that age -- look at that velvet smooth bowing and that rubato.
I swear I heard all sorts of songbirds. How many can plough through Paganini with such raw ease?
Gosh is this really from 1934? He's very young, still a teenager - only 18 yearsold. I've never seen him in colour at this stage in his life and didn't even know he had red hair. What strikes me seeing this for the first time, apart from the obvious things, is how physically undemonstrative he is on the stage ..... he just seems to get on with it ..... dare I say ..... almost perfunctorily although the sound belies this totally.
@KevosMagic You are welcome :) There are book and video version, it's easy to google. Thou I've got mine as a hard-copy. I think he was not only a virtuoso but a great teacher as well.
I remember when i was like 13 o 14 years old, this particular piece always put a big smile and a day-dream vision on my eyes, i mean.... it made me cry whenever i listened to it..... so everytime i hear this ohhhhhh so Marvelous-Allegro Spiritoso, i always think, mannn!! what a precious memories i had from my childhood!
@shiveringflower Heifetz, Francescatti, Oistrakh, Szigeti, Perlman, Hilary Hahn, Sarah Chang, Kogan, Milstein, to name just a few. Now Menuhim was probably better than Frances Magnes or Kreisler, but that's about the most that can be said
@serafinichess For a professor of violin you have some strange ideas. For a start you don't seem to know how to spell Menuhin. There are also some glaring omissions on your list. Elman ? ( who was Auer's favourite) Prihoda? Repin? ( but perhaps you wouldn't rate him because he admires Menuhin, who said Repin was the best he'd listened to). Vengerov? Mullova? How sad it is that your students are receiving such a strangely biased education.
@shiveringflower You originally asked me "reveal which violinists you imagine to be better." But when I give a list you say "there are also some glaring omissions." Well you've just made my point for me! Yes YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT: There were LOTS of omissions! Elman was better than Menuhin, Mullova, Repin and Vengerov were also better than Menuhin! To this one could add Chung, Zukerman, Michael Rabin, Erick Friedman, on and on and on...
@serafinichess Your thought processes are indeed strange. You have indeed provided an imaginary list, to which i added a few names in the hope of,drawing out your ignorance still further. It remains, however, an IMAGINARY list, and you have proved my point, not vice-versa. To come on to a Menuhin lover's site and make a facile remark with no back up whatsoever ( no specific technical criticisms (( which would be shot down anyway )) ), is asking for ridicule.
@shiveringflower sorry toots, you got caught with your pants down & are just twisting in the wind. Realizing you goofed by adding to my list you try to switch & now say the list was "imaginary." This can only mean none were better than Menuhin. But then there was no reason for you to ADD to the list as you did! Get it? ;) The logical fallacy you made is called the Unstated Major Premise. Read Copi, INTRODUCTION TO LOGIC or take a logic course at your local community college.
@serafinichess Neither you or violinamobile seem to recognise a simple trap lol As i said before, come back with some specific technical criticisms and i am happy to reply to them specifically.
@serafinichess A trap is a trap! Get it? Also, I have a degree in pure mathematics, so please don't tell me about logic, it is inappopriate to this debate. My addition to your list was a banana skin, thanks for stepping on it.
@shiveringflower What trap? you asked (stupidly) for a longer list of violinistss better than Menuhim and YOU yourself provided it! I merely added even more. Both myself and violina mobile have tried to point all your errors, but if you wish to doggedly hold on to your silly self-refuting view no matter what, go for it
@shiveringflower Hi, dont mean to but in but I believe serafinichess is correct. You did trip yourself up by claiming that there were "startling omissions" on a list of fiddlers serafinichess suggested as BETTER than Menuhin!. I'm sorry. It is true that serafinichess didn't provide any backup but of course neither did you. It's impossible to do that anyway since this is all a matter of opinion.r
@violinamobile Interpetation is subjective. However it is possible to make objective criticisms. Here is one: look at Heifetz's version of Hora Staccato ( the one where he's wearing the white suit). On the down bows, he very obviously loses power as he approaches the bow tip. Also, without the abiltity to make objective comments about technique, how would you teach? That said, i agree with you completely about 'TopTrumps' ranking and it was this i was criticising about serafinichess' comment.
Para mi es un concierto con un alto grado de dificultad, porque Paganini fue el número uno entre los virtuosas del violín. El artista que interpreta es un hombre fuera de serie. MLM
@miguellucasmartinez Este concierto no es tan complicado. Existen muchos, y variados, que tienen un grado de dificultad mayor. Era extremadamente difícil para la época. Muchos violinistas profesionales aprenden a tocar este concierto.
its like the man and his hands are possessed by different demons and those haunting notes across the chasms of time are desperately chasing after the sheer dexterity of his fingers and in all this his face looks indifferent enough to look almost careless. this is god at work........RIP
Perlman - Best at 13 on YT. Later worse and worse.
Stern - Mostly horrible and responsible for many of the recent abominations called concert violinists.
Go listen to Kreisler, Prihoda, Thibaud, Ysaye, Maude Powell, Sarasate, Kubelik (Jan), Enescu, von Vecsey, Elman, Zimbalist, for a start. Then come back and listen to those listed above. Keep an open ear and mind and go explore.
Heifetz...for sheer technical perfection...according to Yehudi himself...I can look up th reference in his autobiography...overall...they were all gifts to us from God...
@politicopol This is not entirely true. Yehudi states in one of his books, Unfinished Journey perhaps, that he couldn't understand the negative comparisons to Heifetz that some of the world's press were making with regard to technique, when he himself felt that his (Menuhin's) technique was equal to Heifetz's. Specifically he mentioned La Ronde Des Lutins as a point of reference for comparison.
@shiveringflower very recently tghe emerging new stars definitely have the advantage that they can compare their performance to those recorded somany times by the great predecessor masters. If one listens to Hilary Hahn's mvt 1 performed with the Swedish musicians, cannot find ANY (so called) failure or mistone: And, there is no doubt, that Paganini himself would wonder, what present day perfectionists made of his genial pieces.
@shiveringflower ...I looked the auto-bio up...you have a point...actually Yehudi signed his book for me...and by golly what a recording this one is...Issac Stern praised Yehudi's Paganini concerti recordings
He looks so relaxed, and the music to me, seems technially perfect, asn well as full of life. Watching him move is as delightful as listening to the music.
Personally,i don't think there is one.Each of the 'greats' had their own strengths and insights.I don't even accept the widely held view that Heifetz was undisputebly the best technician; i think that Vasa Prihoda had equally "perfect" technique with a much richer tone. I think Menuhin was very,very underrated.Certainly in one of his books he said he felt hurt by negative comparisons to Heifetz..For directness,openness (sp?) and heart tugging emotion i think Menuhin is difficult to beat.
The violin is one of the most beautiful artefacts ever created by man and one of the most elusive to handle. It is this elusiveness that adds to its magic, for unless you become its slave the violin will take its revenge and withold its manifold voices and you will be left holding a lovely piece of musical furniture, offended and inert."
People that play the harp and violin earn my respect like no other musicians can. The 2 instruments played world-wide that have no frets, and are played in a way that even if they were heavily and obviously marked, looking wouldn't help. They have part of the instrument inside their own body, playing is like moving their own appendages. Truly amazing, and makes for incredible music.
@UnderTheBamboooTree Maybe not, but the size allows the player to just land in the general position of a note and be close enough to be acceptable in the song. With a violin the strings are so short that the width of your hand can cover half a scale, which requires unheard of accuracy. And a harp is like trying to play a guitar that has a separate string for every note. Keeping in mind also that both instruments completely take away the ability to play music by memorizing hand position patterns.
@HylianNinja actually, it's pretty easy to remember hand positions on a violin cuz it's not sight-memory but muscle-memory...like how dancers remember their steps, fingers"dance" to the same rhythmn
@metalheadlass Actually no because on violin, if you are off by a half millimeter, you are out of tune. Also intonation has to be constantly maintained or it will decay.
@HylianNinja There's also the viola,the cello, the double bass, and many many more instruments that do not have frets!But I aggree with you on the fact that it is very hard to play fretless isnstruments!But all the instruments are magnificent with their own world "following" them!Try listening to Mozart's Clarinet Concerto or Horn Concerto,Dvorak cello concer,Bottesini Double Bass concerto etc etc! Best regards Fellow musician and Cellist Steven!
@mopo19 Yeah, I actually got to see a guy play one of those during a street festival thing not too long ago. The one he was playing was HUGE though, couldn't have been less than 8 feet long. As I understand it, he made it himself, and It had the "100 syllable mantra" written across the fretboard in gold leaf. It was really something to behold.
@HylianNinja Harp? Each string produces a different pitch. That's even easier than a fretted instrument. They may have to contend with peddlework but violin is much harder.

Moi je rends hommage à tous les bons violonistes, Monsieur Hirshhorn,Monsieur Gitlys et à Monsieur Menuhin, merci à tous ces immenses violonistes qui nous interprètent si bien
ces oeuvres de Paganini et autres compositeurs, je les salue tous
I let my ears do the judging. I've heard some criticism of Yehudi but you'll hear none from me. We all love those videos where the violinist is clearly sweating over the technical difficulties of whatever they are playing. No matter what YM plays, he makes it sound easy. Bartok loved him: Furtwangler loved him. Who is the rral 'violinist of the century"?
Hey im trying this peice now and its not as bad as it seems, especially if youre a fiddler like me. The parts that will kill are the harmonics and the 7 intervals, but if you take that out this peice IS SO MUCH FUN! :D
Woops 8th intervals i meant. But wow, the precision, the gracefullness, and the artistry. It's all simply fabulous. (15$ to the person who gets that reference on a minor note.)
Daba todo por la música.En su primer concierto en el Colón,después de 25 años de ausencia tocó Kaddish "In memoriam" de su amigo David Oistrakh,fallecido poco tiempo antes.
This violinist is what i would like to call an "original" violinist. he doesn't crash through difficult passages like modern day violinists. examples of original violinists are perlman, heifitz, oistrakh, etc.
si, Heifetz never can play like Menuhin, he have very delecat playing, you can not listen Heifetz normaly when you listen you sween in your dreams, it's fantastiquem, Menuhin is feel in his each sound
Fantastic. Unbelievable playing. I'd love to see the full version though. There is a cut in this, no? I'm missing a big G String tune. Does anyone have the full version? It would be great to see/hear it.
Who's your comment directed at. This piece is amazing. Menuhin's articulations are the best interpretation of anyone on this piece. What's you opinion
Thank you! I heard of Menhuin when I was in high school. Thanks for bringing back memories to a time in my life where music ruled my whole life! Now I have my kids. LOL
Wow. I wish I could play violin like this. Right now the limit of my aspirations is Shostakovich's 8th String Quartet. Much easier than this. Maybe in 20 years?
Ah, these recordings of Menuhin, at the height of his violin powers... a man possessed. The intonation, the strength of spirit, the musicality, the singing tone, the skill...amazing.
Heifetz is turning in his grave as I cherish Menuhin.
Thank you :-)

@HylianNinja There's also the viola,the cello, the double bass, and many many more instruments that do not have frets!But I aggree with you on the fact that it is very hard to play fretless isnstruments!But all the instruments are magnificent with their own world "following" them!Try listening to Mozart's Clarinet Concerto or Horn Concerto,Dvorak cello concer,Bottesini Double Bass concerto etc etc! Best regards Fellow musician and Cellist Steven!

There is another instrument which is fretless called the vichitra veena. have a search on youtube.

@mopo19 Yeah, I actually got to see a guy play one of those during a street festival thing not too long ago. The one he was playing was HUGE though, couldn't have been less than 8 feet long. As I understand it, he made it himself, and It had the "100 syllable mantra" written across the fretboard in gold leaf. It was really something to behold.

@HylianNinja Harp? Each string produces a different pitch. That's even easier than a fretted instrument. They may have to contend with peddlework but violin is much harder.

@HylianNinja What about the Viola, Cello and Double-Bass?
repelevil 1 year ago
@HylianNinja Actually, all the C strings on a harp are black, and all the F strings are red. So it's easy to know where you are. haha

any anecdotes or remarks about Yehudi's virtuosity...?
goroundit123 2 years ago
I let my ears do the judging. I've heard some criticism of Yehudi but you'll hear none from me. We all love those videos where the violinist is clearly sweating over the technical difficulties of whatever they are playing. No matter what YM plays, he makes it sound easy. Bartok loved him: Furtwangler loved him. Who is the rral 'violinist of the century"?

Hey im trying this peice now and its not as bad as it seems, especially if youre a fiddler like me. The parts that will kill are the harmonics and the 7 intervals, but if you take that out this peice IS SO MUCH FUN! :D

Woops 8th intervals i meant. But wow, the precision, the gracefullness, and the artistry. It's all simply fabulous. (15$ to the person who gets that reference on a minor note.)

1:43-2:21 is IMPOSSIBLE. Actually most of the stuff Paganini wrote is impossible for 99% of all violinists.
MrSuperwes 2 years ago 2
no, it's possible you can just change finger's (application)

If it weren't impossible, menuhin wouldn't be menuhin, and he wouldn't be one of the the greatest virtusos in the 20th century!

This violinist is what i would like to call an "original" violinist. he doesn't crash through difficult passages like modern day violinists. examples of original violinists are perlman, heifitz, oistrakh, etc.
jettviolin 2 years ago
NO, NO, NO..... Heifetz NEVER "crashed"... otherwise the other ones you listed did crash.
shawnscool 2 years ago
That's what I as saying...the list of violinists I provided were the violinists that DIDN'T crash through! :)

Fantastic. Unbelievable playing. I'd love to see the full version though. There is a cut in this, no? I'm missing a big G String tune. Does anyone have the full version? It would be great to see/hear it.

@Rywen: I think so, because the Menuhin performance is the fastest rendition of this concerto I've heard so far.

Is the lag here because the video is being synced with a different audio recording?

Yes, read the description. I'm not sure there's a video of the 1934 recording, which is vastly superior to his later ones.
