  • someone hacked into god's i pod

  • I'm practicing this music now, and he's a great teacher!

    My sis said it is quite slower than when she played it.

    The most difficult part (On the third page), he played so beautifully

  • @victorianguy it sounds slow in our ears, but compared with previous two parts is in the right pace. In fact, with this speed the interpretation is more lyric and profound. 

  • imusicik thanks for posting such great music

  • @worldentropy Yes, but the world in 1936 was a much slower paced world and to 1936 ears we in 2010 would probably sound desperately frantic. At least here you can hear every single note...

  • a bit slow, but more beautiful... What a terrible recording; all scratchy and gritty. Of course, since it was from 1936...

  • God, what a depressingly slow interpretation. Virtuoso is technically perfect offcourse, needless to say of someone of Menuhin's calibre, but still .. listen to the same being played by Oistrakh, in the Royal Festival Hall with Colin Davis conducting. Something else.

  • Bach ... Bach. Menuhin, marvelous. Thank you Imusiciki.

  • I like the bit when he kills that big dragoon with the saber!

  • A bit too slow and heavy for my liking, but the phrasing is better than in most versions. Great intonation of course, and a clear, crisp tone. It just seems to labored for my liking.

    But his runs are amazing!
