  • Heifetz is the greatest that ever was!!!

  • precioso

  • dad: you're never gonna be like this guy

    me: who?

    dad: (shows me video)

    me: ....you're right.

    this video is the reason i practice 6 hours a day now.

    but i still suck compared to him D:

  • I love this recording because it is the only one that shows clearly how he actually sounded live in a large hall -- that is the true Heifetz sound and I have to say, it sounds sublime, haunting and even transcendental. You don't hear that edge or the scratch anywhere that comes in his recordings.

  • Regarding intonation or ''not in his prime'' factor, he's almost 70 years old here...and who can fight age? But it's still SO wonderful and you don't normally feel the fact. This was at a time when he was also performing very rarely. But the lack of conductor -- he eventually fell out with co-operating with anyone all together and this was also had some role in his retirement in the 50s.

  • You know, I'd really like to see a performance of this when we was younger. I've listened to an earlier recording and wow, it really makes the mistakes in this one clear. Heifetz was the greatest violinist in his time, but old age and lack of a conductor make a difference here.

  • @mrotwist you are exactly right. Yes Heifitz was amazing, but i agree that this perfprmance does live up to his reputation with other violin solos.
