Rabin played this with a community orchestra I played violin in, about 6 months before he died. It was an astounding performance. I don't think any recording captures his real sound.
So beautifully expressive, for me this gets right to the heart and soul of the concerto in a way I've never heard from anyone else (a recording we had when I was a kid with Jaime Laredo as soloist has a special place in my heart, one's first impressions really count!).
I believe this might be the greatest recording I've ever heard of the Mendelssohn concerto. This is performed so much that you forget how beautiful this piece really is when really played well. His expression and feeling is absolutely wonderful. How tragic that he ended his own life..
@@TimeStrider is this true? We were told that he died of an overdosis on tranquilizers and Psychopharmaka that he had been taken to manage the 300 concerts a year Pensum.... (I gave all my biographies of famous Violinists away..) I would like to know the real reason.
This is a great recording. One could persuasively argue this is the apotheosis of mid-twentieth interpretive thought re this wonderful concerto. Of course, there spots up for interpretative "discussion". But, the performance demonstrates a brilliant musical probity as well as extraordinary technical that, when combined with such a singing approach, could easily be considered, in the main, definitive. YMMV ;)
@@juanelias1801 He was psychologically ill , and because of that, he took some drugs ! so, it was not "his own decision", shut up if you don t know his story...
His legato was unmatched, so soaring with power and completely unique. Heifetz might be the nearest in this quality. He didn't sound like anyone else. So many great recordings, but this one and perhaps Stern's are my favorite.
Very beautiful and slower than we are accustomed to hearing it; Szeryng/Dorati is still for me the greatest performance and recording of this beautiful work, and Milstein is a close second.

coming back to this after having liked it many many years ago. Michael Rabin was phenomenal.
Идеальное исполнение! Волшебный звук !!!
What a wonderful and consummate performance by Michael Rabin.
Фантастически яркое исполнение шедевра Мендельсона

Can any recording really capture any of these great artist's sounds and souls?
It seldom does....
Lucky, very lucky U!!!!
Another huge reason to see these performers play live. It's worth the cost and supports the art.
What I wouldn't give to have heard him in person!
So beautifully expressive, for me this gets right to the heart and soul of the concerto in a way I've never heard from anyone else (a recording we had when I was a kid with Jaime Laredo as soloist has a special place in my heart, one's first impressions really count!).
Michael RABIN perfectly match Mendelssohn!

He did not end his own life,that is a unfair rumor
Neurological condition.
He slipped and hit the side of his head on a table and died of a cerebral hemorrhage.
totally agree

Absolutely perfect! 🌹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Heartbreaking. After all these years of knowing this concerto, he and Kyung Wha Chung have shown me new things about it. What a wonderful tone.
Kyung Wha Chung got Rabin's violin after he passed away.
@@jonathanscorner9827 a worthy successor. Nice to know, thank you.
Lovely. TY
The quality of the recording doesn't do him justice. Tonal colorations have not been captured. Imagine listening him in person! Wonderfully moving!
Pure silk!
...endless orgasm....

Que gran violinista se fue prematuramente. Hermoso sonido, brillante técnica.-

what a damn great violinist very good tone and expression
The remastered audio sounds incredible

Heifetz's soaring sound and intensity of sound is unmatched.
He will always be the one.

Yeah them also...and more David Oistrakh or Leonid Kogan ❤
To me Rabin played the best 1st movement, the 2nd mov I can't quiet decide - they're all played it gorgeously, but the 3rd is definitely Milstein's.
+Papa mia yes, too slow in my opinion
Rabin still is a hero to me
saludos
but it is better, all is more clear, well articulated.
Ysaye has a great 3rd mvt too
again the opening notes say it al -l no rush - all contestants should listen to this recording before they play in their finals.
Quel orchestre? Quelle année?

it would be nice to know the names of the conductor and orchestra
Philharmonia Orchestra, Adrian Boult. Says so in the More part at the beginning.

I think I have seen one of every conflicting opinion about this in the comments. Best, worst, etc.
0:50 terrible orchestra
He's more suitable playing other pieces.
