  • i dont want to make this sound like im attacking the comments below....but friedman is a great violinist. although he's extremely under-appreciated i believe his artistry can equally match up to that of heifetz's and i dont think anyone should judge his musicianship based just on this video, although i think this performance of the bach is beyond superb

  • once again, thank you so much !!! keep it up!!!

see all

  • This is a teaching session. Who cares who plays well or who doesn't. It's about the music and learning technique first.

  • Heifetz is absolutely right about the first note of the Adagio. Always pretty hard, when a piece starts on a (very) long note, to get the tempo fixed.

  • Pity though Heifetz didn't demonstrate anything here. His recording of this adagio in particular (it's on youtube) is surreal with stunningly beautiful rhythm and real emotion.

  • Is he playing it for the first time sight reading the whole thing? How does he read something so detailed at that speed anyway ?

  • @violindevil Mr. Friedman was an exceptional violinist. Unfortunately, an accident ended his career in 1988. He continued on as a well-respectedl teacher up until his death from cancer in (I believe) 2004.

    The people running around saying that Heifetz ruined Friedman's self-confidence, etc. are full of it.

  • @brassmonkeyjew wtf?? usure???

  • @allannalla420 Who said Friedman was ruined? He had a decent career. I think he was not more popular because he sounded like a heifetz clone in a lot of ways. As for the Tchaikovsky Competition incident, I don't think it was really a mistake to play in the competition. Van Cliburn won it as an american, maybe Friedman thought he could. I think it's admirable he took the risk. I'm not sure he deserved to beat Tretiakov anyway. Also, Heifetz was not a great teacher, he broke a lot of students.

  • @brassmonkeyjew are you out of your mind?????
