Sarasate Plays Sarasate Zigeunerweisen

Rare audio clip of the great Pablo Sarasate performing his piece Zigeunerweisen. Keep in mind that this was recorded around 1904, so the quality isn't perfect. Also, the slow movement was left out, probably due to time constraints.

That is one long ass bow!!!!

Yep. Imagine how long you could hold notes with a circular bow, haha. That WOULD be something to gawk at.

How touching.....to hear the real Sarasate playing Zigeunerweisen more than 100 years ago.

Hi , I'm mexican, and is like if he said "al tresillo 37" (to the triplet 37) , but the sound is so noisly. Sorry by my bad english. Regards

Nobody has been able to make it out, but a Spanish speaker thinks he is telling his pianist to miss the slow part.

What does he say at 3:25?

I have the Pearl transfers of about 1960.

I have 2 of the set of 1910 still play well- but don't use a wind up gram!
