mpositions -
Just AMAZING! I m asking myself the same question as u did now! Thanks so much for uploading this! Thank you! Thank you!

@GregHuismans Well Kreisler did obtain a head injury during World War One so he may have been "deluded and borderline insane" but he is sure a BRILLIANT man, violinist, and composer in many mens' eyes!
-
Gross. What the hell is this useless POS. Anyone who thinks he can improve on Paganini is just deluded and borderline insane.

I just heard the same Kreisler arrangement on a KQED (SanFrancisco PBS) broadcast of "Vienna Philharmonic - summer concert" series. It was
pretty amazing too (and modern sound).
-
For those who are too young to listen his live concerts, these recording is probably the most accurate Kreisler sound we could ever find.
Regarding the double stopping of Heifetz and Kreisler, I hear the former play two violins while the latter one string one violin. However, both of them are perfect in intonation.
-
as people have said, Mr Kreisler was a phenomenally gifted technical musican, but his style was not in displaying fireworks foir the sake of them[as Heifetz was apt to do] - Kreisler was more a controlled violinist who forsook flamboyance for tone and artistry- As people have said , make no mitake, this man was a technnically sound and gifted violinist - A virtuoso of the highest order
-
Bizarre arrangement, but nice to hear Kreisler showcase his technique!
-
The end is somehow missing. But lovely piece.
Oh shut up...this is much better than the stupid one we hear every day now...maybe more modern but not bad at all..not in style, but much better orchestrated!!
