One of the most transcendental artist to ever walk this earth. Inspirational to many generations to come. I grew up listening to his recording of the Thaikovsky violin concerto with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam conducted by Bernard Haitink on EMI records. It is so awesome to be able to watch him play live this work, with the same refinement and elegance that you can hear on the late 60's recording. Please up load the rest of the piece. Also were did you get this footage?

wow...so rich in tone, very powerful...

Szeryng was always very true to the composer in whatever piece he played. That's why I consider him one of greats. Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn, Bruch#1&3, Brahms, Goldmark, Paganini #5&6, Vieuxtemps #5, Bull's Fantastico, Wieniawski #2, Saint Saens #3, Hubay #3, Sibelius, Karlowicz, Korngold, each one of these concertos slow mvts contains unreachable depths of the composer's soul. God Bless Them.

Exactly, the greatest musicians are those who let you forget about them and enchant you with the music they play. Szeryng was one of the most intelectual, expressive and versatile musician. Listen to his Beethoven and Brahms Concertos, unsurpassable!

my violin teacher was his friend and he always says Szeryng did music, he was a complete musician not just an excellent violinist. And personally a haven't heard better than him and oistrakh.

People often complain that Szeryng never had a distinct style, Perlman once labelling him as something of a violin 'chameleon'.

However, I beg to differ, what is wrong with that? That is what makes Szeryng great in my eyes.

My teacher would always tell me when holding Szeryng in high esteem:

When Heifetz plays Tchaikovsky, you hear Heifetz

When Francescatti plays Tchaikovsky, you hear Francescatti

When Szeryng plays Tchaikovsky, you hear Tchaikovsky.
