“There are violinists and there is Heifetz” - David Oistrakh
A great violinist playing Beethoven's only Violin Concerto - match made in heaven
heard him play this live n 1964. He is the greatest and I have heard them all Oistrakh, Elman, Stern, Perlman et al.
Great experience!!!!!!
Oke very nice :) but what is with anne-sophie Mutter?
@@antoniocalderara3955 nothing...compared to those genius
@@michelangelomulieri5134 Habe ich irgendetwas verpasst?
@Yehuda Toledano Thanks for the recommendation. I‘m 22 and Mutter was the one for me, who takes care above the generation… But nmes like Kogan and Milstine or Elman, i will indulge their heritage
There's no one I'd rather hear than Heifetz. His playing was sheer perfection. I am amazed by every note I hear. The sound is simply incredible.
The nuances of Heifetz’s playing… how beautiful.
Simply takes your breath away!
My all time favourite piece of music
Heifetz is on a level that nobody else has ever been able to achieve
Perlman
Only in technique
I listen to all the past and current greats, and many are absolutely wonderful. But when I come back to this recording I always discover anew why Heifetz is the standard.
What a wonderful performance! Heifetz was not only a magic fiddler but also a superb musician! Thanks for posting! 😀🎈🎻🎶🦋🐛🌹😍👍💐
This always brings joy to me
Gracias Papá, por enseñarme a apreciar la música de Beethoven.
Also, Munch really gets it, making the orchestra meet up with the great eagle flying in the sky. This is the best performance of this concerto of all time, and it has stood the test of time. Even the sound is great.
Such a performance! Such a composition! Surreal, marvelous and breathtaking!
This artist is among the sheer virtuosos have ever heard! And I have heard some excellent violinists🥳
He expressed and interpreted in such a beautiful way. Continuation of romantic scales. I haven't heard anyone who can express this piece as Heifetz does. Braham's concerto is the same. The greatest artist of all time!
Dazzling and full of immense beauty and virtuosity. There is a reason why Heifetz is considered the greatest violinist since Paganini . The BSO under Munch plays with passion and cohesion with the soloist. Hefeitz's cadenzas are magical .
The sound quality is suprisingly good.
Bloody amazing!
Thanks for this masterpiece for Eternity! Greetings from Milan, Italy!
Just listened to Kreisler's rendition which is also great, but....cannot help but switching back to Heifetz. His performance simply reminds me of an eagle flying in the sky!!! Incredible speed, intonation and clarity....
I prefer Menuhin with Furtwangler Menuhin gives more sympathy and emotion reading
« Eagle flying in the sky »... that’s what it is. Way above the fray. It’s all there...
True piece of art. You can hear it’s Heifetz playing just by the shifts. He played this concerto so pure.
Utterly radiant
Absolutely love this version!
Thanks bạn vì đã up bản mà mình cho là hay nhất của concerto này :)
chào anh, cảm ơn anh đã bình luận. Vâng, đó là một bản ghi âm đáng chú ý.
Sublime!!!!!
He has the ability to make the violin sing. His high notes are sweet sounding unlike the modern violinists whose high notes put your teeth on edge. The orchestra sounds like a Toscanini orchestra ....you can hear every note.....a magnificent performance all round.
stesse profonde emozioni di quando lo scoprii tanti anni fa
This is perfection!
Heifetz interpretation to this work as if he is the composer and he is telling everyone how this concerto should be played..my respect to all 🎻 players
Reminds one of the anecdote that, when a virtuoso pianist asked Rachmaninoff how should one should play his 3rd piano concerto, Rachmaninoff asked "Ask [Vladimir] Horowitz…"
Heifetz se joue surhumainement des difficultés, si bien qu'entre ses mains il ne reste à entendre que la musique pure, naturelle, et comme nonchalante même dans les acrobaties les plus périlleuses. Stupéfiant.... Un concerto entendu dix mille fois et connu par coeur retrouve tout son intérêt, comme un paysage après une pluie lustrale !
God!! This is amazing! Nothing but the tempo of this first movement compared to other performances. It has more energy than the rest. It's gonna be my favorite version.
Great musician!!!!!!
Finally a recording in which a fast Allegro is chosen instead of the usual strenuously slow tempi, as in my opinion it absolutely should be and as Beethoven intended. The piece does not lose any of its “feeling” and gains fresh liveliness.
Even the great Jascha doesn't phrase the the main rondo theme as Beethoven wrote it....very clearly where the dotted slurs are ,and where the slurs are not dotted or legato.Crucial to the correct phrasing! Hardly anyone does it right!Including all the greats!....David,Nathan ,Yehuda,Issac,itzhak,ppinchas
A true great, the platinum standard for violinists for most of my life. I have listened to his recordings over and over, and never tire of them; or dwindle in admiration for his skill in making the violin sound beautiful. I was once a young violinist- still have mine- and walked away from it basically when I realized I could never play as well as Heiffetz.
Me too.
I first heard this very recording 56 years ago on WJZZ radio, Bridgeport, CT. I have heard this concerto played by many others in the years since. There is no recording that touches this. Isabelle Faust comes close. That is not to say others are inferior or shouldn't be heard, it's just that Heifetz captures something transcendental in this work. I always hear something new when I listen to it.
we appreciate your thoughtful comments. my foggy memory doesn't remember when but I do know I first heard this recording on KUCR radio broadcasting from the campus of UC Riverside with (the late) William ‘Bill’ Elledge at the helm.
the THREE minute intro to this is precious all by itself! Nowadays people would wonder WHEN will the violin start? Well, the violin starts right where Beethoven intended and where it needed to start!
The best ever , that's my only word.
I love Heifetz’s cadenza of mov.1 ！！
¡Grandioso!
parfait
Sheer perfection.
Quel disque magnifique ! Je ne me lasse de l’entendre. De toute les prestations que j’ai pu entendre, c’est celle là qui est la plus grandiose. Je pleure a chaque fois que je l’entends, son interprétation, la vibration qui émane de chaque note me fais vibrer. Tellement beau ! Merci
Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece

cảm ơn đại ca
the best version of this piece that I've heart
@@cgoroo thank you. I was listening to this marvellous version and wondering whose cadenza it was. Tks
From 2:58 through 3:03 his tone quality was so pure I thought at first it was an oboe solo starting, truly excellent. 😮
I hear tempo may be too fast. I’ve listened to his performance all my life and I feel this is just the right tempo as it’s about the continuation of the beautiful scales. I find such enchanting expressions in scale after scale I often get lost in them. Such a masterpiece!
I love his tempo. I think the issue might be that there is very little rubato. And short of rubato, he tends to not luxuriate on higher sustained notes and peaks of phrases. So the effect seems a bit rushed at times. Other than that, his playing is beyond reproach.
Magnifica la interpretación. Pureza de grabacíón. Muchas gracias por compartirla.
Me alegra que estés disfrutando de la música.
As close to Heaven as I can get....Heifetz is the best. Prima!
As a violinist, I wish I had seen him in concert. I’ve been watching his Master Class. On my bucket list is to see Perlman perform.
Getting to see Perlman perform is a double treat. In addition to being among the best violinists ever to grace the Earth, he has a habit of telling jokes on stage. I'll always treasure getting to hear him in recital.

These must be the end of Days.
@@robertocohen2829 sorry if I misinterpreted your comment , I am an black African Arabic speaker , if that was the case being Arab or whatever race , that can NOT take away my inner sense to appreciate Heifetz or Itzhak Perlman , Sharon Kam and many more classical musician or great composers as Flex Mendelssohn , don't really know what to tell you .
I think he just meant that it’s wonderful that this wonderful performance brings different people together. :)
This deserves so many more views honestly; I know its not how most musicians interpret it, but the speed of the first movement is how I feel it should be played as.
Have you seen Benjamin Zander's Interpretation Class regarding Beethoven's Violin Concerto? It seems that the maestro agrees with you and even asserted the idea that most violinists probably got the tempo wrong this whole time.
zhengyingli I personally always liked the incredibly slow Menuhin and Vengerov recording’s and that’s the way I play it but now I can unsee bens video and i can’t unsee this I may not play it quite this fast because I PERSONALLY think that even the f chord part is a tad bit slow but I’m definitely changing my interpretation now. Also I think it has to do with the the level of the violinist only Heifetz and a select very few others can pull this off with this musicianship.
@@2planksand2wheels92 Have you heard of Frank Peter Zimmerman? He is now my favourite violinist, and his tchaik and Beethoven violin concerto recordings are imo the best. His performances will certainly entertain.
Neo Ni I’ve head off him and heard him but never his Beethoven, I will try it out:)
I mean it’s great and all that he can play it fast, but Beethoven specifically wrote, “allegro, ma non troppo,” which means, “fast but not too fast.” In my opinion, this is probably 10-20% too fast than Beethoven originally intended it to be.
אלוהי, לא ידעתי עד כמה הוא היה מצויין
17:00 - 20:100 !!!!! one of the greatest cadentzas
I share with you the same feelings
Prof Citrin, I’m sure you want to kill us consumed with envy.
And Mr North your knowledge is astounding.
I for one am a lay listener guilty of a crime. In 1970 I sold this LP to get some money to take a woman out.
Having heard a few recordings including Oistrakh and Perlman, I find a certain sweetness in Heifetz which is remarkable.
Phenomenal
Hey guys. Now we are talking the greatests.
The best od all
Brilliant performance. Beethoven originally left no cadenza in the first movement,. Heifetz plays the cadenza of Leopold Auer. Many play the cadenza written by Fritz Kreisler, including David Oistrakh, Itzhak Perlman, and Hillary Hahn.
Спасибо! ❤❤❤
Only 5 more years and this superb recording will be in public domain (in Europe at least)....
So sad! They will be able to turn the melody into rap or use it for bath salts advertisements.🥲
@@littleredwitch They already can... all Beethoven's music is public domain... however copyright remains on this recording/performance... for now. There is artist/publisher copyright, which lapses so many years after the composer's death... this is seperate from recording copyright.
The Heiferz's unique tone and subtle shifting portamenti comes from his using the pure sheep intestine gut strings as old timers like Paganini age. A and D strings. It's yellowish color and much harder to create clean tone. Heifetz had very particular way of holding the bow to create pure tone from it.
This difficulty make him all the more greater technician and artist.
thanks for your comments
It also came from Heifetz being who he was and having such good technique, which enabled him to do that.
@@2planksand2wheels92 You are right~
@Ray Phenicie 👍👍👍
i could see your comments in every video about heifetz! respect
I may be in the minority who believes that Heifetz’s tempo is too fast for him to search out Beethoven’s real intentions. I think the concerto is about Beethoven’s confrontation with our human condition, with Beethoven expressing sadness, struggles, and ultimate triumph. Beethoven tells us in a soothing, comforting voice to have hope, to keep faith with life, and to affirm life, that it’s worth fighting for. It needs a slower tempo to express these sentiments. A little bit more of the lyrical approach will give a better balance. I feel Heifetz did not express these sentiments with sensitivity, depth, and poignancy. He merely glides along on the surface. All brilliance with no soul. Try the version with the young Daniel Lozakovich with the Munich Philharmonic conducted by Gergiev. He conveys Beethoven’s message in a beautiful, sensitive, soulful performance. The Cadenza and the ending of the first movement is especially touchingly played. And Gergiev in a surprisingly sympathetic accompaniment. In their version, the soloist, the conductor, the orchestra, and Beethoven all come together in a wonderful whole, all comrades in spiritual harmony. You will be amazed.
Finally, someone who actually plays the first movement allegro ma non troppo the whole way through, instead of adding in these weird ass adagio cadenza sections that were never written. From my experience, Beethoven is one of THE most meticulous and specific composers with his intentions, and if he wanted tempo changes in the first movement, he would absolutely have written it in. Just a case of people over romanticizing a youthful and energetic classical work to be “Musical”, AKA lazy.
I keep going back to Heifetz....is there a place which has all his "best" hits? I have memories of one that had Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saens, etc.
No one has the technique of Heifetz. Others play the allegro passages slowly with “passion” because they cannot play allegro with adequate tone and technique. I have compared all the great violinists and none compare or have compared to this dazzling technique and clarity. The sound here is quite good of the violin. The rest of the orchestra is a bit blurred, but easily heard.
Grumiaux. The ultimate in musicianship. And a live performance, too.. So rare to fond for Heifetz..
@@PaperGrape Author is indeed a beast. I love listening to his recordings of the Bach Sonatas and Partitas. He plays a magical Chaccone
Jascha Heifetz is a genius violonist, certainly. Howewer, Playing the Beethoven violin concerto requires both technique and philosophy.
Heifetz plays "allegro".
But, Beethoven wrote "allegro MA NON TROPPO ;)
Heifetz is overrated indeed. It is NOT THE FACT that he doesn't smile while playing, as some people say. Here we don't see his face, and it sounds definitely cold. It is the way he plays. No smart rubatos, no dynamics, just trying to achieve fast passages without difficulties, and that's it. Trills and vibrato is static also...
@@davidalvarez297 Very good Intonation. But not musicial
5:45
First mvt is best-interesting his cadenzas.
Heifetz really was God's fiddler.
He has a perfect right hand. His bow never slips on the string.
Wow. Just wow.
なんて気持ちのいいベートーベンであることか。
For me, Heifetz has no rivals!
Yes he has... DANIEL LOZAKOVICH
@@crisduchatelle Well, that's your opinion. Your intitled to one.
Come on orchestra, keep the tempo going. Forget what other violinists used played before.
There’s a marvelous story told about the 1917 New York debut of then 16-year-old Vilnius-born violinist Jascha Heifetz at Carnegie Hall.
Most of the great violinists living in the city seem to have been there that evening. Pianist Leopold Godowsky, a family friend of the Heifetzes, shared a box with violinist Mischa Elman, who was 10 years older than Heifetz and had studied with the same teacher, Leopold Auer. Elman was the first great Russian violinist to make an impact in the US in the 20th century.
The longer the concert went on, the more uncomfortable Elman became. Finally, he turned to Godowsky and said, “It’s hot in here, isn’t it?” Quick as a wink, Godowsky shot back, “No Mischa. Not for pianists.”
The rest, as they say, is history.
Whoever places these ads in this video has no taste for classical music. At all.
Thank the lord for adblockers
I'm not particularly fond of Heifetz, but his Beethoven is the best there is. Tempi are well chosen and his no nonsense approach is what this concerto needs. Playing this concerto like this is only for those who have 100% technical abilities.
@Scott Rule Thanks for asking. Without doubt Heifetz presumably is technically the best violinist ever. I never heard Paganini playing. But......I prefer listening to Oistrakh, Francescatti, Grumiaux, etc. I don't always like Heifetz' style of playing (his taste and his tempi).
@@raoultak Ageee. His cadenza here is an atrocity. Downright ugly, though of course technically dazzling. But all you hear is Heifetz, not Beethoven.
SIN MÁCULA. PERFECTO.
20:35 ❤❤❤❤😢
Жаль, что нет русских комментарий, а ведь этот великий скрипач родился в Российской Империи, в Вильно, и учился в Петербурге.
Сама открыла его благодаря Ютубу.
А что попусту языком молоть?Просто ярчайший представитель русской скрипичной школы.
Merry Christmas everyone!
what a legend
Unbelievable fast. Like a mazurka.
Superlative!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎻🎼🎶👍
Speed!!!!!!!
Damn the torpedos and skip the repeatos!
Excelent recording but...for me, Isaac Stern/Bernstein is my favorite. Although I recognize the sound of the Boston Orchestra and Munch it's excellent.
🌹🌹💗💖🙏
Speed ?
Is the 28:48 written and played by himself? I hear some other players play a shorter piece.
3:00 Solo entrance
25:11 ty
I prefer his older recording with Toscanini
What Cadenza is this?
It is heifetz’ own cadenza. Never published officially. However, violinist Bruce Dukov wrote it down from listening to the recording. Then it was published in The Strad. Maybe 10 years ago or so.
"Alle Jahre wieder"? Komponisten: Friedrich Silcher, Ernst Anschütz
Думаетсячтотемппервойчастиускорен, а2ячастьохорошоитонко. Третья часть прекрасна.
מי המנצח?
The 2nd movement cadenza is Joachim's A
Although Jasha Heifetz is technically one of the best violinists ever (I think), I am not his fan because of his style of playing. But Beethoven with Heifetz is the best there is. The tempi, the nonsense approach and the flawless technique are breathtaking.
I think you meant no-nonsense approach😊
