Yehudi Menuhin - 1934 Paris Symphony Orchestra - Pierre Monteux - The Legendary Recording used to dub the 1963 video - This one I think is better than my previous 1963 to 1940 edit job Enjoy!

I remember when i was like 13 o 14 years old, this particular piece always put a big smile and a day-dream vision on my eyes, i mean.... it made me cry whenever i listened to it..... so everytime i hear this ohhhhhh so Marvelous-Allegro Spiritoso, i always think, mannn!! what a precious memories i had from my childhood!

Heifetz is turning in his grave as I cherish Menuhin.

Thank you :-)

WONDERFUL! This piece works for two basic reasons, in my opinion. First, there is a substantial cut which tightens up the movement. Second, the part that is cut is written on the high ledger lines and thus is almost inaudible due to the frequency of the sound. If this is indeed a dub, one would never know it because the synchrinization between the music and the motions of the bows could not be better. A thoroughly wonderful video over all.

The video is 1963 dubbed with the audio of the 1934 recording. This is truly phenomenal -- such a clean 3rd movement especially with those double harmonics. Proof that he was one of the very greatest prodigies ever on the violin at that age -- look at that velvet smooth bowing and that rubato.

I swear I heard all sorts of songbirds. How many can plough through Paganini with such raw ease?

Gosh is this really from 1934? He's very young, still a teenager - only 18 yearsold. I've never seen him in colour at this stage in his life and didn't even know he had red hair. What strikes me seeing this for the first time, apart from the obvious things, is how physically undemonstrative he is on the stage ..... he just seems to get on with it ..... dare I say ..... almost perfunctorily although the sound belies this totally.

@KevosMagic You are welcome :) There are book and video version, it's easy to google. Thou I've got mine as a hard-copy. I think he was not only a virtuoso but a great teacher as well.
