I prefer Hassid's interpretation compared to Elman's. It's two worlds apart, Hassid is much more sad and subtle, much more painful and tragic to hear, this music used to relieve my heart but here it seems like so many questions that can't be answered by meditation. It feels like incomprehension...

guys, if you don't know what perfect (a.k.a. absolute) pitch is, go look it up. holy hell. that said, given the variations in tuning over the eras, I do feel badly for people who are that bothered by minute pitch variations.

this is a beautiful interpretation of a beautiful piece!

hands down one of the most beautiful works my ears have ever had the privilege of listening to. A masterpiece. Heart wrenching magic!

Usually I get annoyed by alternating pictures in a music video, but I generally keep the antagonism to myself. But seeing how well these pictures suited the music, I offer my thanks and congratulations for putting together such a stunning video.

I'm interested in hearing what it would sound like if he didn't use vibrato....His phrasing alone is amazing... the vibrato is just the icing on the cake.... he must've been completely mad and here is the proof.
