  • The great Isaac Stern performing in his prime! Here, he played Eugene Ysaye in the 1953 film Tonight We Sing. The pianist is Alexander Zakin. I restored this footage from a decent source I was able to find.
    00:00 - Pablo de Sarasate - Zigeunerweisen
    04:00 - Henryk Wieniawski - Violin Concerto No.2 Op. 22 in d minor, III. Allegro con fuoco - à la Zingara

    Wonderful! Thankyou for giving us violin fanciers these treasures. Here it becomes evident that Stern in his prime was also an eminent technician. I grew up with the anecdote that Stern was scheduled for the Tschaikovski Concerto, then his agent phoned th local mangers to change the program: Mozart's G-major instead, then before the concert he phoned them again to inform that it would be Bach's a-minor.

      He absolutely was equal to them, for the period shown above. His sound was extraordinary. The window of this level was an extremely narrow one, as I experienced him in concert. Oistrakh, on the other hand, played beautifully his entire life.@@violaisreallycool

    In some ways, I feel Stern makes the case that total focus on sound production, intonation, and the like is a full -time job. He's not emotionally uninvolved. It's just that the thinking in violin pedagogy of the time was that looking heavenward, sighing dramatically, "selling the piece" with facial expressions and exaggerated body language detracted from transmuting psychic and physical energy into sound. I'm not knocking newer styles of showing emotion on your face if it is genuine. But reinventing old wine and putting it in new bottles is achieved at a price. Sometimes the old timers were onto something. Thanks for posting.

    Something that sometimes happen in old recordings (and footage) to show the virtuoso talent of a violinist is a slight acceleration of the source material. Not sure if it this is the case but it's a little sharp nonetheless.

      Nah, it's probably the way that it's recorded. Don't get me wrong, the violin could have a dark sound. I'm just saying that the reason it sounds dark and mellow in this video is because of the old recording quality that distorts the sound, not necessarily because the violin actually has that sound.

      @@lxtrem1284 Yes, Ysaye. Stern is portraying Eugene Ysaye in this movie. Ysaye, Sarasate, Joachim, De Beriot, Dounis, Enesco, Auer, Flesch, and a host of other fiddlers from that old era never played as well as people give them credit for. Today's violinists are much better technically, although not as expressive. In this clip, Stern conveys the emotion in the music while playing it nearly flawlessly technically..... Technique involves no more than control of intonation, rhythm, and sound.

    Stern's prime was indeed a strong prime. There are very few violinists today of this calibre. Sadly, later in his career he got quite sloppy, as also happened to some others (e.g. Ricci, Menuhin, Perlman, Mintz), and to some degree he became more of a politician. However, here, he is a delight still, at a level not too far from the likes of Heifetz or Oistrakh.

      i think last vid I watched he explains you question clearly himself.
      no competition, some have moved past this type of competition and thinking which is kinda shallow to say the least.
      nothing wrong with competition but some aspire for other aims.
      never stop learning even if you have to travel by foot to China.
      if your in your faith, might want to stop assuming cause assumptions are much worse then competition in any regards.
      and as far as perfection, we all have our aims and no one has reached perfection [if there’s such a thing] since it’s never ending even after this earth phase
