Yes unique beautiful soul ! l was with him last time February 2020 special moments went said goodbye my dear friend! l returned to Santiago Chile 🇨🇱.✨💫✨✨🌷
I love how every piece he plays could be like a soundtrack of a movie. He genuinely makes music. He doesn't just play a technical piece. He tells a story every time... Musicians should really learn from this guy. Technique helps us to make better music. Not to show of, or play "according to what my teacher said that is right".
An aesthete’s absolute delight. Such a craftsman he was - always digging out the function of the phrases. Gitlis was an artist’s artist and for that he will be forever an inspiration. RIP
My God...is this normal? Interpretation and technique are so profound. Sometimes a bit controversial, and sometimes he misses a note or two. But Mr. Gitlis interpretation is so unique and trilling, its a treasure and beyond what we ever would expect. Its a miracle. Mr. Heifetz and Mr. Gitlis should walk hand in hand on this piece...but Mr. Gitlis has my credit to lead the way of His Masters Voice.
Agreed. You must include Josef Hassid though, probably the best performance of this piece (and one of the few left of this ultimate talent unfortunately)
@marcvdm1111 Hassid has an excellent and clean recording of this piece, that being said, musically, it doesn't compare to this rendition. I am not taking anything away from Hassid, either. It's just that Gitlis has some innate ability to convey some radical ideas in his recordings, and the up bow staccato in this recording is absolutely radical.
i just had a masterclass with Mr. Ivri Gitlis in Sweden, he is 86 and he still plays that well as he did it before, great person full of live and music.
Ivry Gitlis was born on August 22, 1922, in Haifa, Israel, to Russian parents. He is considered one of the most talented musicians of his generation, and many of his recordings are considered classics. For me Gitlis is probably the best violinist ever, (After Paganini) and even better than Heifetz
12 years ago, I didn’t expect or desire to be alive till now, but I hope you are, Kacharov. This is just to say that Haifa was in Palestine in 1922, not Israel.
A ce jour pour moi c'est le meilleur!!! Nemanja Radulovic le rattrape à grands pas ... je viens de vivre un inoubliable concert avec Nemanja et double sens ... un tour vrai monde 😊
Haha! I agree. It’s incredible. I’m almost ashamed to say this is the first time in 35 years of knowing this piece that I’ve heard Gitlis play this and it’s already my favourite interpretation. Wonderful
Da brivido,come sempre..con la sua inconfondibile e personalissima impronta..picchettato da fuori di testa,di una bizzarria pari solo alla sua sfolgorante natura di musicista.
Astonishingly free and virtuosic. It leaves me breathless and speechless. Gitlis is one genius violinist/artist like few others. Thank you for posting this. Bravo.
Interesting playing! Can we imagine it was almost 50 years ago! And I saw this Master playing beautifuly two years ago in a Tokyo recital. What a longevity. Also, his Capricieuse is really capricious! ! Fantastic!
Certainly a unique interpretation - truly a caprice in his hands as opposed to the sweet and sentimental approach most violinist take with this piece. Kudos to the pianist for catching every unexpected nuance. RIP Maestro Gitlis...
Simplemente ELECTRIZANTE por su fulgurante vibrato contrastado con su tono blanco. Su staccato es milagroso y el sonido que obtiene de su Stradivari es aéreo, metálico, ligero y cautivador. No se puede tocar mejor, ni siquiera Heifetz. Estamos ante el violinista más hipnótico y extraño de todo el siglo XX. Lo tiene todo: técnica, belleza de sonido, velocidad, afinación. SIMPLEMENTE SOBRENATURAL E INCOMPRENSIBLE.
I think Kavakos had the fastest one. If you check his recording of god save the king in the ending variation he does a couple of extremely fast upbow staccato. Hassid is an amazing performance but I wouldn't compare his staccato to Gitlis. Surely Gitlis had an amazing staccato especially becauze it was always beautiful and classy. Not a lot of people can say that
L'unico violinista che ascolto all'infinito, e con infinita nostalgia. Corrado Romano racconto' un giorno agli allievi, che Karl Flesch dichiarava che con tutti aveva ottenuto dei risultati. Con Gitlis no: come entro' da lui , così uscì. Per fortuna, dico io. Immenso, puro artista del violino.
surely you must be joking! Tasso Janopoulo is one of the best accompaniests of the century! Frequently played with Szeryng, Thibaud, Grumiaux, Milstein, etc. And, more surely, anyone that can follow gitlis should be hailed for this skill :)
paganini 24 caprices cd is widely available. its very good, not as good as some other stuff though. his paganini concerto no.1 is out of this world. i think its at least 2-3 minutes shorter than any other recording if that gives you a clue :)
I would dare to say that this recording is about 10-15% speeded up. Regardless, it is imho the best version (at least on youtube) of this piece... So tragic that 2020 decided to strip us once again of such a godly player.
I have the cd: Ivry Gitlis Le Violon du Diable, and contains paganini's caprices nos, 20, 21 and 24, and I love the way he plays that works my dear kris...
his staccato is so fast, he has to hang on the to the note before for extra time, so the staccato run ends on the next down beat. fascinating to listen to, but wondering if he can even control the speed. the piece would sound better if he could slow the staccato down just a smidge and play more in rhythm. but hey, that's Gitlis. been listening to him for 50 years, a unique character in the violin world. life would be boring if everyone played like Szeryng.
@@kaihartmann924 I was showing in another way how that man was mundane, check my other comment. That interpretation has too many ops and fked intonation. Life goes the same way music does. I luv Gitlis but we need to be not passionated when listen good music too, the same way we need it for a better perception of life. That's a bit trick to understand, but I really hope u do, cause it brings maturity. Best! \o/ And, btw, I absolutely loved his stile on this interpretation, cause, this piece needs u to choose tons of rubatos, accel, ritards and etc. He did that in a amazing peculiar way, but he sucked pretty bad on this recording.
No matter how much I like Gitlis's playing, I would hate to be the person accompanying him. >_> That.... seems as though it would be demanding on at least five more dimensions than accompaniment usually is. Janpoulo deserves many awards for being able to follow this performance.
May his dear soul rest in peace. What a great violinist and unique soul
Yes unique beautiful soul ! l was with him last time February 2020 special moments went said goodbye my dear friend! l returned to Santiago Chile 🇨🇱.✨💫✨✨🌷
Bien triste avec vous
I'm so devastated. RIP to a legend and lover of life! His joie de vivre will be greatly missed.
Sory for the world ! we miss him

I can’t believe how amazing this man is. I’m officially a fan for life.
Rip Gitlis.
99% of the violinists today don't even know how to "rest" the violin as stable and as tension-free as he can.
I was reflecting on the same aspect as I was watching him😫😫😭
i just had a masterclass with Mr. Ivri Gitlis in Sweden, he is 86 and he still plays that well as he did it before, great person full of live and music.
That is by far the fastest up bow staccato I've ever seen. Lol
On par with M.Rabin`s ..)
It looks almost a combination of ricochet ... maybe ?
@@samegross6337 It's called flying staccato as opposed to staccato where your bow is stuck to the string...

There was no fucking Isreal in 1922 my friend
Elgar would be so proud of that stacatto
Of every single note!
RIP dear Ivry
I love this interpretation. Wow. Also his virtuosity and staccato isn’t too shabby either. Incredible
Such a unique violin playing, Bravo!
how could one POSSIBLY dislike this?
This piece is tailored to Gitly’s style of playing, an interpretation milestone
Haha! I agree. It’s incredible. I’m almost ashamed to say this is the first time in 35 years of knowing this piece that I’ve heard Gitlis play this and it’s already my favourite interpretation. Wonderful
Ivry Gitlis PERFECTLY embodies this piece!
Love it. So saucy. Arguably some of the best up bow staccato of any virtuouso.
listen Folks i couldn't stop the tears before the end of this video , immortal performance !
C'est toujours un grand bonheur que d'écouter Gitlis interpréter cette Compo d'Elgar.
Da brivido,come sempre..con la sua inconfondibile e personalissima impronta..picchettato da fuori di testa,di una bizzarria pari solo alla sua sfolgorante natura di musicista.
Just an absolutely insane amount of skill.
One of the few greatest musicians of twentieth century. By far
Astonishingly free and virtuosic. It leaves me breathless and speechless. Gitlis is one genius violinist/artist like few others. Thank you for posting this. Bravo.

Such a character! Sense of humor, capriciousness, suspense, charm
Certainly a unique interpretation - truly a caprice in his hands as opposed to the sweet and sentimental approach most violinist take with this piece. Kudos to the pianist for catching every unexpected nuance. RIP Maestro Gitlis...
Absolutely brilliant playing! Love his vibrato, and the rapid-fire staccato has all the explosiveness of a machine gun.
Gitlis has great character. One will always recognize him. Can't say this about contemporary violinists :-)
Alas, this is true for pianists too! Academia has murdered music! Most younger musicians today don’t dare to express anything personal.

Allen Russell yes i agree
Augustin Hadelich
@@1berto1264 yes
If you don't like this performance, record your own playing and upload it. And let's see if that video will ever be watched after 54 years! :P
You don't have to be able to be superior to something to prefer other things over it, that makes no sense
@@kushgroover54 cheers
@@jeanparke9373some people don't like this performance, just like how I don't like spicy food
I don’t like spinach, do I have to be a leaf for that to be valid?
I don't like certain buildings. Do I need to build one myself to compare them?
Beautiful ! Thanks for sharing :) Bravo Ivry Gitlis!
Reckless!and in control! Love his style
R.I.P. Ivry. We will miss you.
that up bow staccatto blows my mind
Magnifique

Гениальный Иври-обожаю, отличается от всех других замечательных музыкантов своим необыкновенным звучанием но ИВРИ-ЛУЧШИЙ
Descanse en paz ...querido maestro ....Ivry Gitlis
Love it so much. So spontaneous
nobody ever has a staccato like this. not heifetz, not perlman...no...nobody.
Frank With The Violin I’m pretty sure if heifetz and Perlman wanted to do flying staccato they could just practice and get it
Check out Hassid’s version, as a 16/17 yr old. Out of this world, and sadly one of 6 or 7 pieces he was able to record
I think Kavakos had the fastest one. If you check his recording of god save the king in the ending variation he does a couple of extremely fast upbow staccato.
Hassid is an amazing performance but I wouldn't compare his staccato to Gitlis.

Outstanding! Great master!
not only clean and clear, very tasteful, too.
Tye bes t the best interpretation ever!genial!!!!!!!!❤️ivry .probably the best violonist ever.
Amazing violinist. It’s nice to finally hear something heavy on the upward staccato! Rest In Peace, Mr. Gitlis.❤️
The best rendition ever of La Capricieuse.
This should be an example for everyone of us...!!!!!
RIP Maestro
La plus belle version de cette petite oeuvre
J'aime beaucoup ce violoniste.
I love this violoniste.

Ivry always in my heart ❤️…✨💫✨💫💫
What an artist !! 👏👏👏👏👏
always something new/diff to gitlis interpretaton - lovely
well, i dont know a think about classic music or this kind of music, but it sounds really nice.... worth listning to
O M G this is just as impressive as beautiful
wow amazing bow control!
One more thing...that was F'n awesome!
Why there are no more players like the old ones?
elgatosucio the old once had more balls!
what do you mean by that? there is still very good violonist alive , Anne-sophie Mutter , Perlman , Midori and Hilary Hann for instance
Random guy But they still pale in comparison to those in the past. Eg. Heifetz, Gitlis, Kogan etc.
Gitlis is still alive!!!
Twoset just mentioned him, so like a good little boy I had to check him out, this guy definitely did 40hours no problem. Fantastic.
Staccatissimo......
The crisp, rapid staccato and the ghostly sound. I see them, yet don't believe them.
Maybe people don't dare to find their own ways of doing things because they are afraid of doing it wrong.
Could be true, right?
Agree completely and I think this is consistent throughout his 'works'
Merveilleux 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
RIP what a legend
ありがとう。多く日本人があなたを思い出しています。
How does he manage this staccato?
+Richard Walz Practice, patience, and be smart. I apologise for not being more specific :P
He’s Ling Ling.
Isaiah Saranow LOL
... a french bow and a great player
David Marzoli yeah especially a great player
so amazing :)

more than okay

The pianists I have personally met that have accompanied him say that doing so was among the peaks of their careers and musical experience.
