No one. NO One....NO ONE!! Plays the solo entrance better than Heifetz. After a long LOUD(ish) intro which should be taken as a challenge his solo fiddle answers "OH YEAH!? Take this!!" BRILLIANT and unequalled. Tempo be damned. It works.
It's incredible that Heifetz express every nuance and feelings on live performance just as the recording, doing his best. Integrity!
A treasure! Two of the most brilliant musicians of the century!
The cadenza by Heifitz is the best. None can compare.
The cadenza.. purely astonishing
His interpretation is great and has awesome charisma
To make it simple, Heifetz' tempi clearly shows his mastery and perfection, when intelligence and emotions adds up to each other
Pity about the intonation mistakes..about 15 so far and he's only on the fifth line,
Those who think that Heifetz was fast & cold don’t know Heifetz & Beethoven, unfortunately. Simply put, Heifetz was the best. People, this is Beethoven’s Violin Concerto & it a mere walk in the park for him! Remember, Beethoven, Brahms & Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerti are the “three heavyweights”. This is like none other. The maestro of maestro !!! Thanks for loading this recording!!!! Bravissimo !!!!
I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THE ASSERTION THAT HEIFETZ IS THE BEST...NOT EVEN BY A LONG SHOT.
This is one of my favorite recordings of anything by anyone! Listening to the joyous élan vital captured and channeled by Heifetz as transcribed by LvB, gazing out my window at the winter sunlight glinting through the northern boreal forest, the sparkling ice on Lake Michigan's far northern purity, fat and tiny birds feasting on the black oil sunflower seed we put out for them, and not one human in sight - a window into the glory of what is possible.
Music is a matter of feeling, and Heifetz has his own style and interpretation. Like it or hate it. He still remains one of the greats!
Aspi Shaporjee - I don’t totally agree with you. Heifetz was the best, period! There have been others that were both instrumentalists & composers like, Sarasate, Mozart, Ysaye, Paganini, & even pianists like Rachmaninov. However, the key or cornerstone violin concertos - Beethoven, Tchaikovsky & Brahms were written by pianists, with the minor detail that Beethoven was known to moonlight as a violist at the beginning of his career as a musician - composer. Heifetz completely did away with the competition of his time, people like Kreisler, Elman, Ruggiero Ricci, Spalding, Menuhin, Zazofsky, Rabin, Ashkenazi, Fordor, Perlman, Stern, Kremer, Milstein, Oistrakh, & Henryk Szeryng, just to name a few !!! They were all great. However, they would never interpret these three concertos like Jascha Heifetz, - Beethoven, Brahms & Tchaikovsky!!! The same some would say that Martha Algerich would interpret Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto #1 !!!
@@osmarmayoral3996 Couldn't agree more.
THE greatest. Who would class him with others as in one among a group of equals?
@@johndowe9251 Keep in mind that Heifetz adored Kreisler ...
Heifetz rock and rolls through the last movement - so exciting and uplifting! Real momentum and wit - a joy to experience!! I love his schmaltz-free artistry. The precision of a neurosurgeon with the electricity and vitality of the divinely inspired Creative Spirit.
Thank you, Ulrich Dünnebach, for this wonderful upload.
Mehr als fünfzig Jahre vor gab es eine Welt von wahren Virtuosen, zu der dieser unvergleichliche Violinist besimmt gehörte. Der süße und schöne Ton seiner Violine ist ewig unvergesslich. Danke für die wertvolle live Aufnahme!
Perfeição, virtuosismo e uma interpretação sensível, apaixonada e inteligente deste grande concerto! Ele é, na minha opinião, um dos, se não o maior violinista do século XX. Pena que as novas gerações não o tenham ouvido!
Ascoltare le registrazioni di questo Grande Violinista è sempre un piacere. Si sente la bravura del Grandissimo Violinista che è stato Jascha Heifetz, quì nel Concerto in Re Magg. di Ludvig Van Beetoven !!!!! Bellissima interpretazione !!!!! Pino.
All you can possibly say after hearing Heifetz play is, O-M-G!"…
Thanks for sharing! What an amazing performance, to think it’s live and outdoors (one can hear the crickets during the first movement cadenza and the beginning of the second)...
''Making audience bored is a crime for the performer'' -- Heifetz told to his students.
Herzlichen dank. Anyone who's of the view that Heifetz's fast tempo kills the romance has no heart.
Because Heifetz has taken the heart out of it. This not his piece...not when you hear the perfection of his Wieniawski 2 or the Korngold.
Well said Mazz. Heifetz is Heifetz !!!
I love those chirping grasshoppers in the background!
This is the best thing I've ever heard.
Precioso concierto para violín , ejecutado con maestría por Jascha Heifetz, afortunada de haberlo disfrutado por TH-cam.
Thank you.
When I close my eyes and listen to Heifetz, I hear more emotion and passion, than with most other violinists. Which piece is being played, of course, contributes and varies. Heifetz's supreme mastery over his instrument IS the passion. The first movement's time signature is, Allegro ma non troppo, which I feel Heifetz performs superbly, it IS Allegro, but each note can be heard distinctly, and clearly. As recommended below, I did listen to Fritz Kreisler's 1926 version and timed it with a metronome. He is playing it mostly Andante (76-108 bpm), with occasional bursts into Moderato. This is clearly much slower than Beethoven indicated. I prefer when pieces are played according to the composer's wishes.
Yeah... Almost perfect.... And David oistrakh too was good in this interpretation.... Love them both...
well said! The situation is, to my humble opinion, when ppl realized that nobody is entitled to comment Heifetz on his technical performance, the only chance left for nitpicking is that he was lack of "passion" (as it's always a subjective opinion?) or he played too fast because "most" violinists don't play tempo....lol
'Allegro', 'Andante', and 'Moderato' are not strictly within specific bands of metronome marks. They're more about the mood of the music. 'Moderato' is supposed to sound like it's at a moderate pace. 'Allegro ma non troppo' is fast, but not too much. The only recording I know of which doesn't really follow that is the Vengerov (who plays it at a kind of fast 'Adagio'. Even that is a really good recording - he does what too few people do and plays his own cadenza. That's another thing that the composer 'intended' that hardly anyone does anymore.
X. Tan I'm quite objective about my feelings on music. If I thought Heifetz lacked passion I would say so, but come on now, had I never heard someone say "Heifetz lacks passion" I would not have been able to imagine putting those words together. Come to think of it, I still can't. People who say that must be talking about another Heifetz or else they wouldn't be saying something so silly.
The composers wishes are quite irrelevant
tbh im not a big fan of Heifetz's fast arrangement of some Mendelssohn and Bach but on Beethoven this is just fantastic.
Regarding Heifetz' tempi: probably the last conductor to select a tempo for Heifetz was Artur Nikisch back in 1914. The hundreds that came after knew he liked everything on the swift side and did their best to keep up. As for his Beethoven tempi, we know from his metronome markings that Beethoven also liked his music on the swift side - he would probably be happy with this approach.
cuando estuve en Berlín[2001] compré la colección de Heifetz, por la conmemoración de los 100 años de su nacimiento, una maravilla...ubermensch...danke, danke
The sound of this recording is incredible. The interpretation is profound. Heifetz here must be at his prime, if there ever was such a thing. One can only wonder many things: 1. Once attaining such a height in his playing, how could he ever "come down to earth"? 2. What is the point in socializing with mere people - anyone - after such playing? Heifetz had to have known what he had accomplished in such a performance. 3. How does the mind encompass such ability? Basically this recording shows us that our knowledge of how the brain works is close to absolutely nil. We may be able to follow wires in a "generic" brain, but what lies at the end of these wires is absolutely, totally, unknown. I don't think science even knows where to start on such an endeavor. So much for "modernity".
Anyway, thanks for releasing to us such a wonderful recording.
Menuhin/Futrwangler is the best
he isn't gonna fuck you bro
What a wonderful comment. I think about some of these things, too. Have you seen the documentary "God's Fiddler"? It's fantastic & I think will answer some of your questions, particularly those about his relationships with people. Here's part one. th-cam.com/video/hOthENqJuZI/w-d-xo.html
He did his job,and he did it very well.Why he should not socializing with people after it?
He was a genius but also mankind.
@@MichaSchlechtriem Yes but he was a kind of strange person. He socialized & married & had kids but was at more of a remove from others than many people. He had a sense of humor & could be very kind but in terms of actually relating to people, he was a little...how shall I say...autistic. In the film "God's Fiddler" he is described as seeing people as superior to or inferior to him, but rarely as his equal. The exception to this was the cellist Piatigorsky, probably one of the few.
Beautiful
Simplesmente magistral!!!
The existence of Heifetz alone is proof that God exists. When Heifetz plays Beethoven it is proof that God sends his angels down to this Earth.
Music and our ability to appreciate it are proof Jehovah God exists.
Idiocy, and insulting to the great human he was. Fuck you and your childish desire to finally be right about something. There is no proof, and the concept as your god-people have imagined it isn't provable anyways.
thank you, thank you, thank you. What clarity!
Wonderful performance :)
Jascha ~bravo

Гениальное исполнение гениальной музыки не требует комментариев.
Был и остался одним из великих - это хорошо сказано.
Мне сейчас перевалило на 7-й десяток лет, я сам рабочий и переслушал многих - кого вживую, кого в записях. Потому что любовь к скрипке мне привила моя мама - девочка военного времени, которая проучилась всего 4 класса деревенской школы.
Наверное, это свойственно всем родителям - чтобы дети пошли дальше.
В отношении Хайфеца одно можно сказать: он украсил своим искусством весь мир и оттого свою жизнь прожил не напрасно - его будут помнить...вот это главное. А следовать его поклонникам и называть его "королем скрипок" - это уж совсем неприлично. Моя сестра так говорит. Она сама домристка и толк в этом знает.
Да и сам маэстро Хайфец смутился бы от такого ярлыка - для мира достатоШно никем недосягаемого Паганини...что здесь ломать копья?
В вопросе трактовок лучше всего говорит масштаб таланта - у Хайфеца всего хватало: стиля, глубины и врождённой музыкальности...разве этого мало, чтобы тебя не забыли мильёны жителей Земли?
Danke !!!
:-)
Admirabila ,,cadenza".Cea mai buna realizare tehnica din cate am auzit!Din pacate,ca si Ceaikovski ori Brahms,ritmul prea alert stirbeste farmecul interpretarii.Un violonist grabit....dar inegalabil!Doamne, ce tril!
Time is flying.
Lenyűgöző és rendkívül egyedi.
Oh, BTW all you music lovers: you'll be thrilled to know that this posting of the performance has ads; not in between movements, either: the first one breaks in right in the middle of a solo violin arpeggio. Thanks a lot to whomever thought it would be a good idea to "monetize" this video.
Interesting point about Heifetz's playing too fast. Maybe, but he had arguably the best technique of any violinist in history. That becomes evident from his playing of the Brahms Violin Concerto which is technically more difficult than the Beethoven. Only David Oistrakh can hold a candle to Heifetz in the Brahms.
Hefetz was a bigger artist than anyone else before or after him in the Violin world. It is his musical genius that is flying above everybody else, the technique is merely a tool of expression. And BTW, Beethoven concerto is the most difficult concerto for Violin ever written. Brahms is a walk in the park by comparison.
well I always liked his reasoning for playing fast, it's not like he does so in Estrella, more that he felt its better to keep the audience on their toes and awake, as opposed to slow and passionate and asleep. I've done that before at a concert for that reason. Good thing technology exists where you can simply slow him down by about 5-10% if thats what floats your boat.
Well I think Szeryng makes them both look rather inept in the Brahms.
Phillip Sorensen - not even!!! Sorry Sorensen, Heifetz is Heifetz!!! Heifetz elevated Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn, Bruch, Vieuxtemp, etc to unreachable heights, technically, musically & otherwise. It is what violinists seek to listen & imitate & thereby obtain perfection! I believe that Heifetz’s playing philosophy, if there is such a thing is by way of how he approached JS Bach first & then everything else followed after that. I myself believe Jascha Heifetz possessed the most sought after sound, technique, musicality of any violinist ever!!! His vibrato, glissando & bowing technique & other technical abilities, peculiarities made him a stellar billing among stars !!!
INCORRECT. FAST PLAYING WITHOUT A DEEP SOUL CONNECTION TO THE SACRED IS A CHEAP CIRCUS. LISTEN TO KREISLER PLAY BRAHMS AND BEETHOVEN AND LEARN ABOUT HUMANITY AND VIRTUOSITY MERGING INTO ONE PROFOUND ARTISTRY.
Very best. Its greats
+Carmine D'Ambrosio Heifetz was the Very best.
+Carmine D'Ambrosio Nah Perlman plays it better.
+whothinksimawesome Perlman is very very good, but I believe Heifetz is even better!
CHING FUNG Chow Heifetz was God's very own violinist.
Heifetz's dope, but I prefer Perlman.
Jeffrey Sondheim, Heifetz was always at his best. He once said that whenever he did not practice for one day only he would know. Also, he added, whenever he did not practice for two days then the critics would know. However, whenever he had not practiced for three days, then the audience or the public in general would know.
As far as I know, Jeffrey, Heifetz never had any complain from the critics or the audience! Only thing he received were praises & lots & lots of money & fame, my gosh & how ! Get off your envy !!!
BELLISIMO. SIENTO ALGO MUY ESPECIAL GRACIAS
Apenas pueda lo escucho mamita preciosa
Muy hermosa melodía.
0:24 I. Allegro ma non troppo
21:21 II. Larghetto
30:08 III. Rondo (Allegro)
Pienso que Jascha Heifetz es el mejor violinista de todos los tiempos........... el arte está más allá del bien y del mal....ubermensch.....también por él: shalom
! HEIFETZ. , EL. MEJOR. VIOLINISTA. DE. TODOS. LOS. TIEMPOS. !!!!
Jascha Heifetz "Violin Concerto"
Some of these conversations are what should be heard from orchestra pits during opera.
Thanks, interestingly, on reflection: my music Friends & I kind of do that………………
Very speed.
同曲目帕爾曼要48分鐘，曼紐因45分鐘，就連歐伊斯特拉夫也要41分半，到了海飛茲手裡只要39分鐘搞定，每個音每個轉折都還清清楚楚漂漂亮亮！
况惠君 Михаил Казинник
Юра Потапков 音樂和速度關係不大
Harika
And what if Heifetz's tempo was the right one? We will never know... 😂😢
By far no one gas ever played a violin better than Heifetz. That is my opinion. No matter what he plays. As
Yitzak Permanent says, “ when Heifetz plays it’s like listen or playing to the G - d s. Absolutely angelic!!
Violin Concerto in D Major op 61
Amazing!Whose Cadenza is the one played here?Thanks
dude? you think Heifetz plays some one elses cadenza?
the cadenza is by Heifetz and Leopold aurer his "teacher"
Does anybody know what cadenza he is playing in the first movement?
heifetz and his teacher Auer wrote this piece. They did not publish it officially.
Everyone talks about tempo with Heifetz and lack of emotion. Maybe your emotions/tempi are too slow?
There are different kind of emotions...
People are getting too used to today's violinists, who feel the need to perform modern dance while playing.
Mucho más bonito así
How sad that this incredible piece of artistry only has 112K views, while modern profanity laden things get millions.
this is why no one wants to hang out with classical musicians
It's, indeed, terribly sad.
Nicolette Miller - don’t worry Ms Miller, we will more than make up for those many that don’t enjoy & love classical music. There is nothing like it except heaven itself !!!!
Fine performance by the orchestra, too. Maybe knowing who the soloist was motivated them to try extra hard.
00:25 - 38:35
Seriously, tempo is a function of the artist's taste and his technique. Oistrakh had beaucoups of technique; in the case of Kreisler, I leave it for you to decide.
3:21
Ca intotdeauna,un violonist grabit!Beethoven nu este un concert de virtuozitate tehnica cum vrea sa-l transforme Heifetz
Who's cadenza is it?
+נעם רוזנברג His own writing
+Jeremy Wong He should have played the one by Kreisler.
Auer-Heifetz
The Kreisler is certainly magnificent but I think this cadenza fits better with Heifetz' overall interpretation of the Concerto.
Heifetz’ own cadenza.
You should try the Beethoven’s cadenza for his “6th piano concerto”.... is the correct cadenza for this violin concerto.
Thanks, great Music, & Artistry.. interestingly, the end indicates this “:UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES NERWORK”…. a wonderful reminder of that “ Generation *& the War to end all Wars”… interestingly, both my Wife’s ,& my Parents met probably , TOTALLY, due to WWII and the ARMED FORCES,etc. ACTUALLY, my FATHER on the Farm & eveNINGS OUT, at local Churches LISTENING to Programs(a Choir , *BURKET IND (?) witH MOM SINGING), as most Friends Busy/drafted/ Workimg… FstherinLaw to , **BALTIMORE ,MD *USO**(FIRST UNITED METHODIST Church)?.?) & met A Lady, to get Married before to LAJOLLA CAL & staging for “INVASION OF JAPAN”etc. ……

A obra favorita do sherlock holmes .
Pero, aunque lo puede ser tu obra favorita de sherlock holmes (y es una cancion muy linda), lo falsificaron para la tele porque el actor no puede tocar el violin
Un violonist exceptional tehnic,dar mult prea grabit!Este Beethoven,nu Sarasate!Marii discipoli ai lui Heifetz(ex.Perlman) sunt mai temperati si rezultatul este evident...
37:56 this is so beautiful ...... and so cold .... Heifetz .
Beautiful yes. Cold - no. Pure, clear, even fragile - but not cold.

It occurs to me that, in 2018, few of us give a damn what any of these violinists sounds like.
See your endocrinologist
Poor sound
So what? - Let the imagination run.
you expected better from this time? wow. dude how old are you. even if its poor quality, we have to admit that Heifetz was not to blame.
What Mr Takeda might have meant was the artificial stereo effect. which is really primitive. Otherwise it sounds quite vivid as radio transcription. What is more important is that we have another Heifetz's Beethoven, besides those with Toscanini and Munch.
Well, it was recorded in the 20th century
Played too fast by heifetz- as usual which completely kills any emotion.
listen to fritz kreisler 1926 version.
Never understood the hype of heifetz.
Good intonation and technical ability, agreed.
But he would sound so much better if he stopped playing on 2x speed.
+thebrowniesaur22 The best way for you to understand is to ask concert violinists who the greatest violinist of the recording era was. You can also ask people who play the violin in orchestras. When they all tell you "Heifetz" then you're going to have to decide who knows more about it - them or you. Given your preferences you should listen to David Oistrakh, especially when the conductor is Kirill Kondrashin or (they rarely worked together) Andre Cluytens. He had a wonderful lush sound that was ideal for the most famous concerti of the Romantic Era - Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, Bruch, and Brahms. He also excelled at works of the many 20th century Russian composers who composed concerti specifically for him (Oistrakh).
+Gerry Rains Listen Maxim Vengerow and compare
What I'm trying to tell you is that different conductors select how they want the tempo to be. Because of Heifetz's incredible technique they usually went quickly. I think that Vengerov is a fine violinist and by 21st century standards the best in the world. However I prefer Oistrakh for the Beethoven to Heifetz and Vengerov. However he recorded it many times and I personally prefer his slower versions. I was merely pointing out that, since I used to be a guitar soloist who played with various lower level orchestras that all of their violinists I knew prefer Heifetz. I don't share their awe of his performances but I know great technique when I hear it. Sometimes great technique loses the majesty that the great concerti deserve. I agree with you on that. I'm in awe of Heifetz's skills but don't find them appropriate for the big four romantic concerti. There are some Heifetz performances that are too fast for my taste and they are not on my list of personal greats.
+Wim Beuming I found the one for which I was searching. David Oistrakh with Andre Cluytens conducting. Total playing time 45:45. One of the two greatest violinists of the recording era and one of the two greatest conductors of the recording era. I really think you'll like it.
+thebrowniesaur22 If you like Vengerov, and I consider him to be one of two greatest violinists currently performing, then Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante for violin (Vengerov) and viola (Yuri Bashmet who is also the conductor and frequently conducts when he's not playing) is a must for you. Bashmet is probably the finest violist alive today.
The other violinist is one of whom you probably have not heard - Roby Lakotas - a Hungarian Gypsy. He was the first Gypsy ever accepted to any classical conservatory - the Béla Bartok Conservatory of Budapest. He won numerous prizes in competitions and when Sir Yehudi Menuhin heard him play he was so stunned that he helped promote Lakotas' career. Lakotas has a jazz band - 100% Gypsy and promotes numerous skillful Gypsy violinists. If he isn't better than Vengerov he's certainly as good as Maxim. There are many TH-cam listings of his works. You might like Roby Lakotas and Linda Lampenius - Violin "Csardas".
a lot of technique, little feeling
YOURE NUTS
this IS the feeling
this is what it should be
