Jascha Heifetz plays Wieniawski Polonaise No. 1 in D Major

holy shit this man is amazing

You have never heard anything by a Russian or Polish composer for the violin until you've heard a recording of Jascha Heifetz playing it.

You know, while I do agree with you, you cannot deny this man's technical brilliance. The main issue I have with Heifetz is his interpretations but when it comes to his tone, one has yet to duplicate that intense warm tone of his. When it comes to his technique, one has yet to match those brutally accurate fingers of his.

0:05 to 4:19!!! I am blown off the planet.

Amazing isint he

What you are detecting is not a matter of tempo or attack, but the fact that Heifetz is always in motion. There are no stops. There is always a sense of the pulse. A tornado isn't a bad analogy, but I prefer a locomotive. It is a difficult concept to explain, but my own private saxophone teacher has taught me to approach music as Heifetz did (and as many greats innately do).

He was nothing short of Perfection incarnate. This performance(and most of his others) still, STILL after probably 50+ viewing leaves me short of breath more than once.

Heifetz never fails to amaze me :). can't ever get sick of listening to him play :D
