  • This is my favorite, because their is more emotion in his playing than either his skills or his instrument can hold, and that is perfect for this composition.

  • I dare say Mr. Stern studied Heifetz performance closely. Good idea.

  • are there words?

  • Vengo de ver varias "Chaconas", de varios interpretes y me di cuenta que no hay de David Oistrakh, me intriga como la habria interpretado, eso y el concierto de Dvorak, y el de Schumman...

  • @romain2katgmail The Milstein videos I've seen here have him playing this part with the exact bowing notated in my edition of sonatas and partitas. But I've seen other editions with similarly ambiguous bowings as you've described. My preference is of course for the Milstein popularized bowing, perhaps because I'm prejudiced towards the source that supplies the most information.

  • The interlude and key change to D maj at 7.18 mins, has to be one of the most sublime moments ever in music, done justice by Stern's mastery of expression. Stern was in a class of his own.

  • @romain2katgmail Thank you very much for that info...I like Sterns Chaconne the best..Although Menuhin is amazing at different points also..A rich era in Violin history..

  • @jbcrazyinrhodeisland The score shows 3-4 note chords with notes changing at a different rate, such as eighths and quarters against dotted half notes. It's up to the violinist to decide how to make the notes sound and bring out the moving lines within. The usual solution is some combination of arpeggios plus hanging on to some of the notes longer. Stern is pretty mainstream, while Nathan Milstein revoices some of the notes and brings out different inner rhythms; I like both a lot.

  • Truly amazing playing!

    Can someone please tell me the style of playing at 4:45.

    A true legend

  • A great performance - one of the top several I've seen.
