Mischa Elman plays Dvorak Slavonic Dance

Another incredible recording from one of my favorite violinists. He is one of the few musicians that can draw me into the music at such a deep emotional level. He is truly inspirational to me.

Thanks for introducing me to a new artist. Loved the Schubert Serenade as well.

When I first heard Elman, I didn't think much. Actually, I was annoyed because I thought his tempo always dragged. Thank God I came to my senses and realized how incredible this wonderful musician really is.

Mega Genius !

Thanks to YouTube II was watching and listening to the same piece played by other Mega Geniuses but the way Elman plays the Slavonic Dance is what resonates with me most.

We can read about the artist, composer, historic period, etc.. bit we cam never actually FEEL of whit what kind of emotionality and in what inner rhythm people had lived through their lives in THEIR time.

YouTube preserves the spirit and emotions of past times and great souls - nobody and nothing else does

He was furious, and flatly refused to continue with the programme. Frantic attempts were made to assure him that Elman had the recommendation of Auer himself and was well capable of doing justice to the music, but Colonne was adamant, " I have never yet played with a child, and I refuse to start now," he retorted. So Elman had to play with piano accompaniment while conductor and orchestra sat listening.

Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.

A frequent accompanist in chamber works during Elman's early American career was Emmanuel Bay, who was born on exactly the same day as he was, January 20, 1891. But Elman also performed and recorded with Josef Bonime, Carroll Hollister and others, and from 1950, his steady accompanist and recital partner was Joseph Seiger. He also briefly performed and made recordings with the Mischa Elman String Quartet.

Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.
