Fascinating. Often out of tune, but playing 3- and 4-string chords unarpeggiated? Fas-ci-na-ting.
And you can tell that Mr Telmanyi has feeling. Now if only this were better tuned!
Unless the tuning used is SUPPOSED to be something other than just intonation or equal temperment.
-
but nevertheless this is a really great recording and mr. telmanyi is/was an extremely skilled player.

oh yeah...its not authentic...its bullshit
-
jimmy hendrick's star spangled banner just sounded like he was really fucked up on...everything? but yeah music. good stuff;)

the chords sound like an organ

@sormu16 You could be right. But from everything that I've learned, it's generally accepted that there wasn't vibrato. Or at least, not very wide vibrato. But I dunno, that's just what I learned from my teachers.
And about the chords, it's probably just not noticeable when the chords are broken since we don't hear all the notes prolonged. I didn't think about that at first.

"there'd be no vibrato, and cleary there is". I have heard that nobody actually knows whether they played with vibrato or not. I find it hard to believe that they didn't, it's such a natural thing. They sang with vibrato, didn't they?
I agree that some chords are out of tune, but that is always the case on violin, even among the best.

This piece never sounded right to me until I heard Gähler's recording, using a similar bow to this. I couldn't care less how or with what they played the music - this just sounds way more natural than arpeggio.

On the chords, the violin sounds like an accordion !!!!!!

baaaad taste
I have a bach bow and its fun though difficult. Its not a matter of how Bach intended it. The musician is not a servant of the composer but the primary creative entity. This is only heresy in classical music. Jimi Hendrix's Star Spangled Banner neither honored the composers intention or disrespected it. Putting the musician's intention ahead of the composer's is the key to revitalizing classical music. The bow is not "silly", its just a tool. Listen with ears not eyes.
