Kreisler’s art transcends the old, crackly, static filled background noise....the voice of his violin is so true, so beautiful, that it sings right through it all! Absolutely marvelous!!
I completely agree with you. I'm a violinist, as was my father; and he idolized Fritz Kreisler, having a special memory of when he heard him play at the Academy of Music in the 1940s. We heard lots of Fritz Kreisler in our home when I was growing up. Such warmth and love emanating from every note, every phrase.
The strings of his violin speak like a voice. Such exquisite expression and musical feeling come from this man whose pure and noble tone caresses you with the warmth of his heart.
Kreisler was the king of charm and elegance ....other violonist where or are incredible, amazing or simply genius but no one can approach the kreisler's unique style !!
Today I heard Pablo de Sarasate playing his own Zigeunerweisen, op. 20, no.1 at St. James's Hall, along with my friends Holmes and Watson. What strikes me is the elegance, lightness, and style, in short, sprezzatura, a valued quality in the courtly society of Renaissance Italy, that both de Sarasate and Kreisler bring to their violin playing, a quality that is hard to find in today's great virtuosi. Well, I must return to the present and put my time machine in storage until further forays into a glorious musical past!
I heard Kreisler play in 1947 at Orchestra Hall Chicago when I was a 7 year old violin student, and actually got to go backstage with my father and meet him. You could do that back then, but not today with all the security issues. That experience defined my goal of becoming a professional violinist.
What a life altering experience that must have been. As a flutist, I had the joy and terror of playing for Marcel Moyse, the first flutist to bring modern technique to the old school world. My then flute teacher was Claude Monteux, son of Pierre Monteux. I'll never forget those great opportunities that forever changed my career trajectory. Bravo for you.
After listening to this astounding performance , I may dream of nostalgic my late beloved mother That dream is the ultimate in bliss for me I want to give the feeling of thanks again to nostalgic my late beloved mother . Mother , my tears are the sign of long farewell and sincere tribute to you . From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
I have this HMV record , my great grandfather find them in abandoned by the Germans apartments after war in Poland. When the war was starter he buried his Polish records but we never found them
What is extraordinary is the sweet, loving, directness of this. In my youth, when I occaisionally heard his records on the radio, I used to think that it all had a bit too much schmaltz. But listening now I hear an glimpse of a now-vanished world, where there was time to sit and enjoy a coffee, cake and some gossip. Thank you for sharing.
Fritz Kreisler. Wat een fenomenale violist. Zoveel gevoel, schoonheid, tederheid. Tientallen jaren luister ik al naar zijn prachtige vioolspel, en ik blijf erbij: hij is de beste violist die ik ken.
Me sentía solo y sigo solo. Me acerqué a la esperanza para que trajera en sus manos tu llanto de amor por mí...y pasaron muchas jornadas y con ellas me hice anciano sin ti, junto a mi soledad.
Does anyone know if or where I can find the score for this particular arrangement/performance? It is absolutely lovely, and as a pianist, I would love to be able to play it myself.
Anyone know what date this recording is? Although it contains nothing above 5 kHz (so can be mp3-d at 11025 mono without losing anything!), what is there is very clear.
He had great charisma,as did Rachmaninov. Paderewski also had that indefinable quality(charisma)...a great pianist went to hear Paderewski play and returned from the concert shaking his head and saying,"He plays very well but he's no Paderewski!" We don't have any musicians of that ilk anymore,largely, though not entirely,due to competitions. They also composed... The closest we have to those personalities is possibly Perlman and I'm sure he recognizes the debt he owes to the likes of Kreisler.😊😊
Kreisler was anything but a phony; indeed he was the most genuine and heartfelt of all violinists. Thibaud was a fine violinist but the comparison is not useful.
I know too little (nothing, I think - I don't think I've ever tried) about violin playing to comment on his skill as a _player_ - other than to say he sounds pleasant enough to me; however, I'm very grateful for his work as a _composer_ , especially that he proved classical music pieces can be short.
Dvoraks mom was talented

If anything, the surface noise (that's what it is, not static) adds to the atmosphere for me.

What a wonderful way to live!

He has the soul and sound of an angel. Too bad that I never got to meet him. What a god!!!!

This shows how one guy with a fiddle can make the world a happy place

I wanna hear you play

Tears come to my eyes every time I hear Kreisler's rendition of this piece.
I love every piece that Fritz Kreislerhas recorded, especially my favorite, The Old Refrain.

Evoking a simpler world , when we were young and surrounded by love.
Beautiful

Played with feeling and warmth - great vibrato..A treat for the ears
One of the best recording wich ever has been taken
I have this HMV record , my great grandfather find them in abandoned by the Germans apartments after war in Poland. When the war was starter he buried his Polish records but we never found them
I cried.

Mayo 20-24. ❤❤❤México. 🇲🇽😘
There will never be another violinist like Kreisler…goddamn he was so amazing
Wunderbar!
Me sentía solo y sigo solo. Me acerqué a la esperanza para que trajera en sus manos tu llanto de amor por mí...y pasaron muchas jornadas y con ellas me hice anciano sin ti, junto a mi soledad.
Fritz, I love You
fantastic music and violin playing. truly heartfelt!
Kreisler is one of those who makes you feel the music, not just listen it.
Fritz also one of father's favorite violist
violinist
Amazingly beautiful!!
Vibrato is amazing😍😍
Maravillosa interpretación .
This is as good as it gets! Vibrato is fantastic! Emotional playing! I can hear Stern, Perlman, Rabin in this.
Oh puhLEEEEEEZE…🙄🙄!!
Precioso
You wrote down a poem clifdavol. Beautiful!
The best
Hej Dvorak!! l love you!!
amazing!1!!!!!!!!1
Incomparable...
Agree!!!
Dio non poteva essere ovunque, perciò ha creato la mamma.
(detto ebraico)
sounds from a bygone era. Kreisler epitome the word refinement. he also represents the end of The Austro Hungarian empire.
Emocionante
♥️
I would feel he is speaking Dvorak words with bow stick special articulation!
Does anyone know if or where I can find the score for this particular arrangement/performance? It is absolutely lovely, and as a pianist, I would love to be able to play it myself.
Here it is, not this particular arrangement, but... th-cam.com/video/mX34JT-hDtc/w-d-xo.html

Гениальный МУЗЫКАНТ!!!
Enjoy You Tube and variety of subjects, and the music. 🌹🌹🌹🎼🎺🎷
interesting. is it an earlier (or earlier) version of his transcription? it's different than what we know today
Yes, Kreisler's published arrangement is a bit longer. Most likely he made a cut for this recording due to the total playing time of the record.
Anyone know what date this recording is? Although it contains nothing above 5 kHz (so can be mp3-d at 11025 mono without losing anything!), what is there is very clear.

🤩😍🤩
You can master the basics. Just not this much.
Haha, well put!
Am I the only one hearing at the beginning "voi ce sa pete" and "I don't want my freedom"?
Jazzy
Not bad for two years of lessons and never practicing.....
Incroyable et magique 😘 Violoniste hors norme
It never ceases to astonish me how people can't see what a phony Fritz Kriesler was!! Viva Jacques Thibaud violinist similar bien
He had great charisma,as did Rachmaninov.
Paderewski also had that indefinable quality(charisma)...a great pianist went to hear Paderewski play and returned from the concert shaking his head and saying,"He plays very well but he's no Paderewski!"

Rosenthal was the great pianist who made that quip about Paderewsku
You are a truly sick and disturbed person for saying that. Shame on you, you imbecile.
