Maybe he likes it more because 'c'est vrai'?! Or has a bit more character? I prefer Oistrakh's too yes, as I think it suites my personal taste, but why assume? Are people not entitled to opinion? T

[SamLee0519]

Yup. I like it better because of the more "liveliness" and the character.

The problem is, when you wake up and are sober again, the comment is still there, it doesn't disappear by itself...

Fabulosa interpretación de Szeryng, le imprime un dinamismo único a esta pieza, muy caracteristica de su maravilloso estilo.

@wtfpwndzor rofl, was he seriously a drunk? i can only find info from forums.

[xeygarz]

Say, what's that bowing technique called from 0:09 - 0:16 and again from 0:23 - 0:30?

[Zvax]

alright. this is simply the best thing in life.

surpassing food, love, or outdoor adventure.

[wtfpwndzor]

amazing

theres little wonder as to why szeryngs recordings of kreisler were amongst the most highly regarded of any violinist of his time

id go so far as to say that he was best behind kreisler himself

and lets not forget he was drunk off his ass during these performances, though whether thats a handicap for him is debatable....this kind of passion can only come off an intensely skilled and tipsy szeryng

[franzpschubert]

Come on... as if there was a passage in any of the repertoire that this guy couldn't play. I'm sure that he transposed the melody down an octave so that the counterpoint was more explicit and so that he could make use of his instrument's powerful low range, not because he wanted to make the "difficult part" easier.

[calligop]

I did not say I would do better, I just said he made an arrangement and made the difficult part easier. If you can't read or don't understand nothing about music the just shut the fuck up...

[Zvax]

yea, everything he does is SO easy, you would do it much better...

get lost

[calligop]

Yep, he cheated. Made a "version" of the hardest part...

[armonici]

"like this case" Wtf are you talking about?

[1courage]

I guess this pice doesen't require an accompaniment at all. It was a stupid thing writing it. It should finish the way Oistrach play it and not with a simple D major accord. Szeryng by the way plays it perfectly. The intonation is just frenetic. Listen the other interpretations on youtube. All of them hassome (or many) false tunes, expect this one
