You can tell the old pros from the modern music machines. Some nice interpretation here. Love it.

Most violinists are focused on merely hitting all the notes..... This performance sings a melody that's Tchaikovsky..... To an even greater degree than Itzhak Perlman, who I've always considered the standard for the Tchaik Violin Concerto.

Love this! Anyone know where I can get the sheet music?

[elzbieta52]

@rapter9800 Yeah, who cares! I have just listened, for the first time, to someone who could easily rival Oistrakh.

Thank you You Tube. i cannot believe that i can't find him on Pandora. shameful

I can remember listening to this while my mother ironed in the early 50's.

i cannot believe that i can't find him on Pandora. shameful

@kinakina123123 Not all modern virtuosos are machines. Kavakos, Mullova, Gluzman, Mutter, Hadelich, Tetzlaff...are all very distinctive players with singular styles.

@Lactoris1 Who cares?  It's a great song either way

[Lactoris1]

Is this third movement technically in classical sonata form, or rondo? Its first theme and home key are in D major. Lyrical second theme first appears in dominant key A major, +would be expected to be recapitulated in the home key, but appears here instead in the unconventional key of G major, the subdominant key, which uses the lowest sound of the violin, the open G string. The second theme sounds expressively very different a whole step lower, in G major vs A major. Is this sonata form?

you have a great ear to have picked that up..and I have done production work in a studio..I scarely noticed it until you mentioned it..but my ear is focused on the violin..but it would be a total mare to "fix".near impossible if not impossible..all those instruments would have been on the same mic..this would have been on tape too...it probably would have ended up being a worse "blip" and more serious sounding error than what it is..your ear is so excellent..few heard that.

I was BLESSED to hear his Beh Haim by a friend who is a collector who shared with me! It is exotic, fabulous..I don't have enough superlatives! It was a concert he performed in Germany. It was mesmerizing..I deeply regret that I will never personally attend on of his concerts, but how blessed we are to have some video..and recordings. No wonder Ben-Haim's Sonata is infrequently done--I imagine few can play it with justice!

Ms. Moonbeam,

There is NOTHING like hearing the great artists of the past perform LIVE! in this way, we can glean why these particular artists captured the imagination and hearts of concertgoers.

ANY live performance just reinforces our admiration. Would love to hear Francescatti's rendering of Paul Ben-Haim's sonata. The passion of his Hebraic-tinged music can be wonderfully moving.
