  • Amazing bowing and continuity....

  • Utter perfection....

  • What a PERFECT tempo! Most younger soloists today take it so super slow. The older generations knew how to make this piece speak, not induce the listener into coma.

  • The 5:50~ tutti part is so slow! I was enjoying his elaborate method to increase the tempo, but I felt the orchestra could continue it. Fabulous performance though :) the 6:30 variation made it all worth while.

  • @OriginalMoonbeam nooo

    never slow down the vibrato

    look at francescatti, heifetz, hassid, kreisler

    one of their great characteristic was an intense and fast vibrato

    personally my violin knew of my influence from francescatti and szeryng and wanting me going for a stronger more rich and fast(at least to the extent i could) vibrato...although as quoted by i believe it was menuhin or heifetz that the best vibrato comes naturally not from thinking about it

  • The greatest! Zino Francescatti's family French and Italian from Marseilles area were violinists for generations and preserved traditions from influence of Paganini.

    He mastered the Russian technique innovations + is the greatest interpreter of this Tchaikowsky violin conerto. Generally I like to hear contemporary musicians perform older masterpieces, but in this case I can't stand to hear anyone else perform this one.

  • meraviglioso!

  • But the question still remains, will you still love me tomorrow????

  • Moon, I still love ya.

  • But..you are fun to play with CODs..I respect your opinion...even though I am right :) (laughing!) Have a good day...I love Kogan as much as you do...I just love Zino too and love to mess with you.
