  • Karajan. Da sieht man,mit den richtigen Mitteln konnte man auch damals in höchster Tonqualität Musik aufnehmen!

  • great clip! and quality is very good!

  • @ cjh37878.. I do agree that this is a brilliant performance, but I can't help but disagree on the bow arm atrophy..I play, and am old, and like Menuhin, was trained very much in Franco-Belgian school of thought, a system that emphasizes, at tomes, bow speed rather than pressure..This results in beautiful glassiness of his tone as opposed to the more robust sound of say a Leonid Kogan. That being said, he was still formidable.I wish I had been present in 1927 when he played the Beethoven with NY

  • I can't believe I've never seen this. Menuhin is my favorite violinist, and I love the Mozart concerti.

    This recording nearly brought me to tears of joy, but also sorrow. I believe this is Mozart's style: light and elegant, yet containing a lush, rich, and emotional sound. But, in contrast, Menuhin's bow arm atrophy is evident. 2:30 to 3:00 demonstrates this perfectly, especially the first attack. His bow arm destroyed much of his potential, potential that could have overshadowed Heifetz.

  • @ipmoic Agreed. He had considerable problems with his bowing and this led to nervous tension. A pity; if you listen to his early recordings - the Elgar Concerto, for example - he was a formidable player.

  • @BBRENTTAGHAPP You don't have to be able to play better than Menuhin to have an informed opinion. I can't play the cello, but I know what I think of Rostropovitch, for example.

  • It is terribly sharp - almost b flat. Can you repost and see if it returns to "original" pitch?

  • @ahpedrami Wow... calm down... the guy wasn't foulmouthing Menuhin, he was giving an analysis/his opinion of the piece. I personally agree with him.
