First take, bitch

[wsx2000]

On a different filmed performance of this piece you can hear the producer say: "take 1" and hear Heifetz reply: "Ah, there'll only be one take"!

Bach is so badass. I never realized just how amazing and Romantic Bach's music truly is.

2 People working on this piece got depressed after hearing this :P

[ThePhys2001]

This is the most "romantic" interpretation I've heard, since the violinist phrases the piece with an unusual flow and melodic line, particularly in the third and fourth sub-sections. Most players leave strict Bach phrasing and dynamics, which subdues the melody Heifetz emphasizes. Indispensible!

Fantástico!

прости всех нас за то что такие люди умирают

While he plays, he is totally relaxed. And still, it is fantastic.

That one dislike is Hitler's punk ass

@thesock339 The implication wasn't that he used them, but that no one could match his sound and they were the 'answer' Which is a complementary remark about Heifetz's tone, not a thesis on why synthetic cores were created...

[thesock339]

@PaperGrape Heifetz never used synthetic strings. He used Tricolore gut Silver-wound G's, Plain gut D's and A's, and Goldbrokat E's.

In many sense, this is the most odd, amazing, and unique interpretation I have heard. There isn't anything that has been recorded that sounds similar when you take into account the bowing, fingering, phrasing, tempo, sound - EVERYTHING is one of a kind. The liberty Heifetz takes to make it his own is astounding and I believe no serious violinist can get by playing the Chaconne without listening to or even studying such a phenomenal interpretation. That said, I would not want to emulate it, haha.
