I love the powerful feeling he brings into the piece

@lerosalima So? Sir, we are watching and talking about Isaac Stern. Not Heifetz, both were great and were violinists beyond reproach. No need for comparisons of who plays more cleanly or has more skill and he learned this piece at age whatever. Stern and Heifetz were both wonderful and both very skilled at what they did.

Heifetz could play this when he was only seven years old.

This video demonstrates how intense a sound Stern makes. Not many people can do that, especially the girl violinists because of their physical limitations.

GOD DAMN IT WHOEVER SAYS THAT HE IS OUT OF TUNE DOESNT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MUSIC. HIM AND THE WHOLE ORCHESTRA ARE TUNED TO 442 OR 443 ON THE HERTZ SCALE BUT SINCE YOU GUYS DONT KNOW ANYTHING IT DOESNT MATTER. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE TALKING. HE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST VIOLINIST OF ALL TIME SO JUST SHUT UP.
At his very best, Stern played so in tune it almost hurt. In the late 60's and early 70's he began getting more involved with other projests: saving Carnegie Hall(of which he later becam director or president) from destruction, helping young people, being on the boards of Arts Funding Foundations, and other assorted very noble things and it seemed he practiced less. But , it's all relative. A slightly "off" night for Stern would be a Gala Evening for anyone else.
