Jascha Heifetz: God's Fiddler

- Not since Paganini had there been such a magician on the violin. The first modern violin virtuoso, about whom Itzhak Perlman says in the film, 'When I spoke with him, I thought, "I can't believe it. I'm talking with God".' A musical wunderkind, he went on to set the standard in violin playing for nearly a century. This film portrays an artist for whom only perfection would do, so well known in popular culture that his name became shorthand for excellence for everyone from Jack Benny, to The Muppets, to Woody Allen. Heifetz was a legendary but mysterious figure whose story embodies the dual nature of artistic genius: the paradox of how a mortal man lives with immortal gifts- gifts he must honor, but which extract a life long price. Is the man and the artist the same person? What is the price each pays? And who was the man behind the music? Released on DVD, EuroArts 2058538.

"If I don't practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it." - Jascha Heifetz
Robin Rayfield hi
That quote was attributed to Horowitz. Jascha spent a lot of this days ...not practicing
Wow...
@@WieldingHavoc ...as a child.
There will never be another Heifetz. He even had the greatest name for a violinist, Jascha Heifetz, wow.
Hands down the greatest cover musician ever to live.
Underrated comment!
Wow! At :33, there's my grandfather, my Деда, Leon Goldwasser, right smack in the middle of the screen, the first one just to the left of the woman up above L. Auer's head. HOW TRIPPY to see him in this photo on TH-cam
I met Heifetz on an elevator at UCLA in 1971; he had a violin case and was wearing a hat, so I did not recognize him at first. Whes somebody told me: "meet Jasha Heifetz" I almost fainted!!!!............It was 43 years ago and I still remember that day.
What happened then??
@@pneron2032 .....well, he left and I left without knowing who he was until later somebody told me "that was Jasha Heifetz". Too Bad I did not have a chance to talk to him!!
Jascha Heifetz made a deal with the devil. No one knows what Jascha got, but the devil got some violin lessons.
Tysons Accosta lol
not really. heifetz understood that the instrument must remain absolutely stable if you are going to have consistent bowing and intonation. his musicality is non existent, his vibrato sounds like a dentist drill - basically he was just a scale-apeggio machine who sounded like he hated music. that being said, however, the mechanics of how he locked the instrument down show him to be one of the first to understand the necessity of violin stability.
+Sandy Grungerson -- How can you talk such a nonsense, do you have no hearing? Heifetz has more feeling in the fingernail than others in the whole body !!!! It's just perfect, he was and is for all time
__"" God's Fiddler ""__
all the musicality of a dentist-drill. heifetz sacrificed musicality for mechanical efficiency. listen to giuliano carmignola for a performance with feeling, not Jascha the Musical Terminator
might this change your mind? th-cam.com/video/7mpxuR9nXE0/w-d-xo.html
I don't understand how anyone could call him a cold player. I'm a violinist and his interpretation of the Mendelssohn violin concerto makes me cry everytime with its utter beauty. I love rock music etc., actually I love most kinds of music from many, many countries, but I fell in love with classical music and the violin when I was not much older than 5. I begged for nearly a year for violin lessons apparently, and my parents made me wait because they thought it was something I would forget about and want to move on to something else, but I was obviously completely serious about it.
Oh, and I've got to say, never mind how incredibly fast and accurate his finger work was...that bowing...just incredible, such skill.
My father was a vi andolinist with the Philharmonic during the Heifetz era. He heard all the greats of that time. There was no one like Heifetz.
Those who think that Heifetz's playing was cold aren't really listening. His playing was filled with controlled emotion.
I never get tired of Heifetz. *sigh*
heifeitz, during these years, a lot of people misunderstood heifeitz. For his passion transcends into his violin and bow, his heat does not needed to be interpreted by his words or emotions, he always was stray at his emotions, like what they say, ''he's a student of god", the value of a piece of gold will always shine, no matter how harsh and cruel the environment is, for heifeitz is a true master, that one day everyone shall reveal his passionate form that people sincerely love.
“He was not a cold player, he was actually a hot player” LOL!
Wonderful Jasha Heifetz😀😀😀😀😀🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🙂💕
Why did they feel it was necessary to do such extreme closeups of the interviewees?

"Jacob" ,
Certainly, this is obvious. That you do not need to mention here!
Helena Wang marry Jacob
Lucky, I thought I was fortunate to have worked with a guy who studied under his son :p
I read that as Heifetz-Liszt at first.
Auer said, "Jashua? He is not my student. He is a student of god."

introduction to rondo capriccio by saint saens
If these guitar hero guys played actual instruments they would go down in history.
el mejor Heifetz
Open to being wrong ...but, I believe instrument extension of individuals ❤, 🧠, and soul 💥 ...or, spirit if you will
His rondo capriccioso is ridiculous. :o
what song is that in the beginning of the video?
La fille aux cheveuax de lin
Does anyone know the piece that's playing in the background at around 1 minute? I've played it before but can't remember the name.
Girl with,the flaxen hair, Debussy or
Bach partita 3 in e , prelude
If Heifetz is God's violinist and Paganini was the devil's violinist if they met would they be enemies?
what's the meaning of face close up? 2:04
What is the first song that plays? It's terribly familiar. It's killing me.
its called la filleu aux cheveux de lin.it means the girl with the flaxen hair.its by french composer debussy.
Where can i buy this dvd?
He is like Y. Menuhin a Superstar.
what's the first song in this video??
Debussy -La fille aux cheveux de lin
the greates violinist think that he was the best and like perlman said.. we mortals allways gonna have to look up heifetz.. people who can not see that or feel that better listen other violinist and stop desrespect the path and work of a real virtuoso
Does it look like when he's playing only his fingers are being fast forwarded...
What was the piece?
"la fille aux cheveux de lin" by Debussy transcribed for violin
The Chaconne from partita no 2 bach
-Scherzo Tarantelle by Wienawski
Introduction and rondo capriciosso by saint saens

Gabriela Mestanza :OOO ud es una conocedora de la buena música, me quito el sombrero!!
HEAL THE SICK
Which is the piece at 2:25 ?
Fran Chiroli I was looking for that piece for while now as well. I found the piece this very morning but it seems like our friend +2001spaceoddessy (one of my favorite movies) beat me to it. If it's of any help, the video shown here is not in youtube, you'll have to go to dailymotion for it. Cheers!
Es solo el poder de Dios , todo es posible no hay imposibles ya lo dijo nuestro Señor Jesucristo , viva Cristo Rey por los siglos de los siglos !!!!!!!!
no hace falta que diga que es un encanto escucharlo,pero para que hablan en ingles, por lo menos hagan la traduccion.
What envy! haha
are we blind? why would you focus the camera on someones face?

Not fiddle, is Violin
FIDDLE..Cuervo blanco
devil's violinist and god's fiddler
I was an undergrad at U.C.L.A. when Heifetz was teaching a bit there. Despite his musical genius, more than a few students told me that he was an a**hole. I love Perlman, but Heifetz I can take or leave....
No el poder de Dios, el de la capacidad humana.
Toda buena dádiva y todo don perfecto desciende de lo alto, del Padre de las luces, en el cual no hay mudanza, ni sombra de variación.
Santiago 1:17
Satanás nunca da nada al hombre, el hurta lo que Dios nos da. El hombre no tiene nada sino es que Dios no se lo ha dado. Nunca lo olvides.
Which god?

Ernst was better than Paganini and Paganini knew it.
