For me, the best episode of this series. Listen to EVERY WORD that Perlman says. It is THE gist of everything about 20th century violin playing. After Heifetz' American debut--1917-- EVERYTHING changed.
And Heifetz' tone was best heard live--that "edge" in his playing disappeared in the hall and then carried to the very last row of Carnegie--or wherever!
My father, no mean violinist himself, who heard Heifetz (and met his father!) said EXACTLY the same thing.
We, today, can only imagine.

yeah, looks so.
he speaks English all the time and is filmed in the most comfortable manner. yet he says some reasonable stuff like that Heifitz had a weird ideas of recording which didn't let many nuances of his sound survive in records.

I believe Ivry Gitlis was about to change his string and there wasn't a string strung into the peg which resulted into his peg popping out

You're right, he was saying some obvious crap =D
That happens when you age. You forget to put some strings on, which is better then forgetting to put some clothes on in this particular case

at about 0:24 you can see the string had snapped or something, later the peg fell out.

ok thanks. this clarification is far more welcome than "shut up idiot". my initial comment wasn't meant as a criticism, just a comment on the analogy (do u see anything pejorative in there??). but ur reply was meant as an insult. chew on that.
