what a fantastic sound! I believed to know most of the greatest violinits, but hassid is a cathegory himself. life unfair to take off him at 26. immense lost for musica :-(

[KyotoMelody]

No, life is not fair to him, not at all! :((

[Ishayau]

Wow, and I thought I knew all the great violinists.

This playing moves you like very few do.

Bravo!

The pictures are beautiful a perfectly synchronized with the music. Don't listen to Orjus.

Orjus, the first part of your comment was clever, the second wasn't.

[KyotoMelody]

Thanks, Ishayau, I once had kinda the same thought, but the world is so wide, I have to learn more and more. Thank you again.

[orjus]

Paulostroff-Hassid was a rae bird even for his own time-and we are not out of luck-just a fallow time for violinists when the likes of Bell are at the front .Kyoto many thanks ,but can you spare the pictures?however interesting.

Music is not about pictures -it is about sound.How would you like some fiddler at your ear when you are looking at a painting in a gallery ?Music is what painters aspire to.

Hassid does just fine without pictures.

[KyotoMelody]

Ur so right, Orjus, Hassid's sound needs no pictures or whatever to be fine. Pictures in my videos are just what I love to see, to hold, to learn, and to know in my life. In other words, they are just simple what I love in my life. Thanks for ur advice, but I have my way in listening to music.

Listen to how he changes the bow.

NO!! you cant hear that!!!!!

He has THE Perfect Bow Change

[NestorAudinotviolins]

perhaps the measure of greatness is being able to identify a musician (in this case a violinist) by listening to only a few notes. Josef Hassid is that rare musician where one immediately knows who is playing. His death was a profound loss to the world of music.

@intheknow7

mentioning Jascha Heifetz,and not Nathan Milstein ,said Fritz Kreisler

[raunchy9305]

wonder why there are no youtube uploads of him playing anything but this schmaltz

[bummy33]

his phrasing makes my head feel like its going to explode but in a good way.... every single note... its formed like an oval, it has a crescendo and decrescendo- meaning of its own-, meanwhile the over all phrase is taking a similar shape.

@davlak sadly, he experienced a painful love affair which drove him into depression but maybe that's what made his music so amazing and special
