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,...

i dont think anyone can criticize this guy playing his own piece. he wrote the piece, he can play however he wants.

Incredible, if you can't distinguish how incredible this man's tone is from the low quality of the recording yourself, you don't know how to listen to music. As a violinist myself, I'm in total awe.

Absolutely unbelievable technical command!!! He's extremely fast! I can't say I like his interpretation, it's too fast and flat, Rabin's version suits best my taste, but it was thrilling to be able to hear Sarasate!

Perhaps it is "fast" to fit in the time available on primitive recordings.... but otherwise he wrote it and surely can decide how fast his own music should go ??? He doesn't rush the slower passages to make up time so we can probably assume his speed is as he wanted it.

Incredible! All the little themes sound so different than any other version, his fast passages are amazing. One of the greatest masters of the violin.

To think I'd be granted the opportunity to listen to the legend Sarasate himself. Thank you Aimson, thank you YouTube. Thank you Sarasate!
