I hope amateurs and professionals alike take note of how musical these two musicians are playing this piece. Today, musicians, even great ones, are obsessed with how fast they can play it, and trying to outplay each other... ends up just a bunch of notes and not nearly as satisfying to listen to. Let's make MUSIC like this again people!!! ;-)
That last picture...he must have known his kid didn't "have it"...considering what he could already do at that age. I never tire of photos of Heifetz. Especially as a young man, he had the George Hurrell/1940s Hollywood look. Magnificent man in every respect.
@@MikeS7 Well, there are videos of his USC courses. Judge for yourself. He wasn't interested in the basics. I think great teachers aren't necessarily great for everyone, at least some of it depends on the relationship between teacher & student.
My father played violin in the NY Philharmonic from the 1940s to the end of the 1970, so he heard Heifetz several times in rehearsals and concerts. To him, Heifetz was just about G-d, when it came to playing the violin. I never had a chance to hear Heifetz play live, unfortunately.
@@pneron2032 Yes, there are several I can remember. These are all from memory, of things told to me long ago. My father first worked with Heifetz, as a member of the Philharmonic when Heifetz played the Mozart A major violin concerto, in 1947 At the rehearsal, he was surprised the Heifetz didn't play with the intensity and excitement he had heard on recordings. But, at the performances, it all changed,. He did play as he had heard him on recordings. On another occasion, when Heifetz was back stage in the dressing room, just before playing the Korngold concerto, there was the sound of someone practicing with a very slow, almost too wide, vibrato. Some of the violins thought is was someone in the orchestra, who was a known "character" playing outside the door of the dressing room. "Get, so and so, away from there" or something similar was said. When they got there, they realized it was Heifetz himself warming up in some way. At one of Heifetz's concerts at Carnegie with the orchestra, the audience was applauding and applauding at the end. After several bows, as Heifetz walked past the first violin section an orchestra member looked up at him and said "not bad" Heifetz looked at him for a moment, and then laughed as he realized it was a joke. Or at least smiled. I have a few more, but space is limited
@@nidurnevets As a huge Heifetz fan, you've really made my day. If you ever get time, keep them coming. Maybe you should record them online somewhere (his website has an "anecdotes" section)? It's real history that you have. 😊
@@pneron2032 I remember a story from when I was probably about 15. That was years ago. My father was not only a fine violinist, he was also a good pianist. The violinist Erica Morini, one of the only well-known women violinists of her time, and the principal cellist of the Philharmonic, in those days, Laslo Varga, were going to play the Brahms Double with the Philharmonic. My father was brought in to accompany them at the rehearsal for the concert, which was held at Morini's apartment in NYC. . I was invited to listen to the rehearsal. At one point, probably when they took a break, she told a story about Heifetz. She said that at a Christmas Holiday party he stood on a step stool, or something, in order to hang a decoration from a ceiling lamp, or something like that. He lost his balance and fell. She said that he had the presence of mind to pull his hands out of the way and he took the brunt of the fall on the rest of his body, rather than breaking the fall with his hands and risking injury to them. It was seen as an example of how self-disciplined and determined he was as a person. That was my impression as to why she told that story. This is also from long ago, as I remember it.
I think this is the only piece that Heifetz ever played in two different versions. The other is with viola accompaniment and I like that one more. Heifetz is the best as always.
この曲(動画)は大好きで、時々何度も見ています。ご在世の頃は小学生(中学生)でしたが、もし大人だったら、一度、聞きに行ってみたかったです。 演奏を聴いていて、互いの苦労などを、演奏しながら、思いやっているようで、少し物悲しくなりました。 I love this song (video) and watch it many times from time to time. I was an elementary school student (junior high school student) when I was alive, but if I was an adult, I wanted to go and listen to it once. Listening to the performance, it seemed that I was thinking about each other's hardships while playing, which made me a little sad.
Perfect the old russian bow hold, gain perfect control over your bowing and intonation. Play with a high elbow, and almost most important, play fast like all hell. Perfection cannot come from imitation, you must strive for it always in your own struggle.
The pianist at 4:40 is Leonard Penarrio, and I believe the photo is from the early to mid 1960's. Penarrio was one of the few pianists that Heifetz got along with (his longtime accompanist Brooks Smith was the other), and they and Piatigorsky recorded and performed extensively for many years, as well as meeting informally when all were free (which was rarely). Supposedly, at least one of their recordings has never been released.
Actually it was both Handel and Halvorsen. The original piece was a sonata written for harpsichord by Handel and Halvorsen adapted it later into thee Passacaglia for violin and viola (although a bass is sometimes used in place of the viola).
@dasmastaduke I don't understand your reason for being rude to @ladygagavevo , who is completely different from this other artist. I don't know why you have to bring this negative energy into something that is so beautiful. They are from completely different time periods of life and music. What makes her music bs, what makes his music not bs? What makes a song good or not. Nothing does, because it's all based on opinion. Also, what gives you the right to be rude to people you don't know. Don't judge a whole artist's career unless you have seen everything they have done. I personally love Lady Gaga, she has inspired me in many ways including through her music, speeches, and outrageous outfits. She teaches me to be myself everyday and to not let anyone take away my pride. She also tells me to stand up against bullies and for what I believe in. If you could, I would like for you to elaborate more on what makes Lady Gaga's music "bs" and why you feel the need to make her the odd one out?
+Anthony Burke "Negative energy"? TH-cam goblins are born that way! They are constantly looking for any outlets to vent their inexhaustible spleen. Be warned...
the world has evolved (devolved) to modern approaches of minimalism which copy out of the textbook classical era chord progression with repetition throughout
I wonder why they don't play it the way the sheet music indicates, at 5m04s on until the end: Handel-Halvorsen - Passacaglia - Jascha Heifetz, Gregor Piatigorsky Perlman/Zukerman play their parts correctly in their recordings, unless this sheet music is wrong: petrucci.mus.auth.gr/imglnks/usimg/8/80/IMSLP72041-PMLP29933-Handel-Halvorsen_-_Passacaglia_for_Violin_and_Viola__Hansens_.pdf
I'm well aware. Samuel Chotzinoff and others preceded Bay, who worked with Heifetz from 1935 until 1953, Smith from 1953 until 1973, Ayke Agus from 1974 until Heifetz's death (mainly in Master classes). Milton Kaye and Seymore Lipkin were Heifetz's accompanists for USO tours during WW2. Heifetz didn't get along well with any of them except the deferential and affable Smith.
Never can make my mind up over which version I prefer: Hefetz / Primrose or Heifetz / Piatigorsky! As a keyboard player, of course, I also love the Handel original! Choices, choices...
Ahhh, yes, me too! The reason, I believe, is because Primrose is such an outstanding violist. I love Piatigorsky and am a professional cellist myself. But, Primrose really shines in this piece with Heifetz so I think I actually like it better than this one (shhh, don't tell any cellists... ). Luckily, we don't really have to make any choices, though... we get to listen to it all and enjoy it ;-)
O wow.. Heifetz was 62 and Piatgorsky was 60.. Both way past their primes.. Imagine if they eamed up at 35 or 40.. Holy amazing!!! And I love how they basically rewrite the molto energico at the end haha. Halvorsen did not write that lol

Heifetz is a magician of tempo... the way he maintains and controls tempo is so fascinating!
I hope amateurs and professionals alike take note of how musical these two musicians are playing this piece.

Is curious as Heifetz tends to play everything faster, but this time he didn't and sounds so musical as you mention, admirable.
Both are good.
I'm convinced that this is by far the best recording of Passacaglia nothing else even comes close to it
That last picture...he must have known his kid didn't "have it"...considering what he could already do at that age.
I never tire of photos of Heifetz. Especially as a young man, he had the George Hurrell/1940s Hollywood look. Magnificent man in every respect.

作曲家の想いを、歌っているような、とても見事な演奏です。
私の好きな演奏です。
I admire how delicately the phrasing is handled.
Handeld
Maestro Heifetz's impeccable intonation. Never gets old.
La mejor interpretación que he escuchado, por estos grandes monstruos de la cuerda...😍
この曲は、この二人の演奏が、一番好きです。聴いていると、どこか哀愁感と、力強さが漂っている様で…。
How nice melody it is, especially 2:13-2:31... one my favorite baroque. Like this piece very much...
+Stone Jiahao Yu This song turned me into an astronaut bamboo diesel sputnik.
yes, very beautiful. Touch the heaven.
My friend, it is beautiful, but it has nothing to do with baroque. The only baroque element is the beginning, the rest is written by Halvorsen.

Arash Tavassoli it’s not an accompaniment as it is a duet, but I do agree with you - the version with a viola is better

Just the best version
Perlman / Zukerman ??

I've heard many versions... but this one is the best!

Великолепно! Слушаю, слушаю .... Никто с ними не сравнится!
Heifetz and Piatigorsky bring an intensity that only adds to the performance and really leaves their own personal mark on the music.
My favourite interpretation of this piece... Love it!!
The world's best..both of them
A time when people weren’t trying to be fancy. Simple and beautiful
Watching Perlman play this piece, I didn't feel a thing. But just listening to Heifetz, I'm definitely beyond moved.
This must be the very best recording of Handel-Halvorsens Passacaglia. Very personaly with great musicality,and better tempi after my taste.
Замечательно! Хочется слушать только Хейфеца, Пятигорского и Рубинштейна!
Not even Perlman and Zukerman can beat this recording!
Sorry , they can't do it, they are one step under heifetz¡
With a viola, they did
Pearlman and Zukerman....best of the best playing Passacaglia
@@galoeduardodelpozoroman66 Definitely not
Indeed. 😂
This way of playing music it keeps you feel young all the time.
You're right... no words to describe how great this is. Piatigorsky was his only friend!
Awesome pace. I love it. It sucks I can't see to study his techniques with bowing and left hand.
Perfect the old russian bow hold, gain perfect control over your bowing and intonation. Play with a high elbow, and almost most important, play fast like all hell.

This is truly magnificent. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful.
I love this piece so much and this performance is a phenomenon.
So enjoyable version. Definitely the best one
¡Qué interpretación! ¡Magistral!
말이필요없다 파사칼리아는. 게다가 하이페츠라면 더더욱..
마음이 요동치는날 한없이 듣게되는곡..
좋은스피커로 최대로 틀어놓고 감상하고싶은데 현실은 아파트 층간소름러가 될것 같아 이어폰으로 대신하고있음.. ㅠㅠ
개인적으로 파사칼리아는 웅장하면서 날카로움이 조화되는것이 묘미라 생각하는데
하이페츠연주가 내게있어 최고의 연주임
섬세하면서도 칼같은 정확함과 송곳같은 날카로움이 예술이다
하이페츠 성격에 어디가겠나 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 안 날카로우면 하이페츠가 아니지 ㅋㅋㅋ
듀오연주에서 하이페츠 질주질주본능으로 한템포 빠른경향이 있는데 (혼자 질주하심ㅋㅋㅋ)
이 연주는 진짜 칼같이 잘 맞음
피아티고르스키가 잘 맞춰주신거같은.. 개인적 추측.. ㅋㅋㅋ 두분이 찰떡궁합이시네
후반부 가면서 치닫는 피날레는 정말 ㅎㄷㄷㄷ 소오름
의견에 동의합니다^^^
This is my favorite version of this work.
Фантастическое исполнение!
Much to learn from the perfection and the mutual enjoyment of musicianship amongwt them
Thank you. Your channel is such a wonderful gift. 🎻👏👏👏

best version on youtube
Piatigorsky is simply astounding from 5:30 onwards.
He is astounding throughout
Great Performance by Legends , Thank you for sharing the Clip and very educational description .
I'm a Perlman - Zuckerman purist, but damn, this is such an amazing interpretation it's hard not to love.
E’ incredibile come sia intonato heifetz,maestoso.
I just heard this played for a viola recital live as a violin viola duet. I don't think I have heard anything more powerful. Absolutely amazing piece.
This speed is good.
I think ,not only speed,becose music is so beutieful!:)
Another video I have come across on youtube is Heifetz and Primrose playing the same piece as on this youtube
Beautiful. Thanks for posting this.
Magnificent, it was available on CD as partf the 65-volume Heifetz Collection

Well, often times, great violinists are also great asses. Yes, it's a thing.
im all about skipping that section after the 32nds
I saw Stern and Piatigorsky play this live many decades ago. I don’t remember Stern playing as sumptuously as Heifetz.
Stern wasn't the violinist that Heifetz was. No comparison.
@Gabriel Du Pré His son is trash too!
oh so great, this artists together, wonderful!!!!

Why is Heifetz's sound in the foreground, and Piatogorsky is barely heard on the recording?

Who can play this well IMHO isn't "way past their primes"! Like Rubinstein who even played amazing at the age of over 80! :D
Yeah frankly unless you’re 80 and severely weakened your playing only improves with time
@@oblo7389 yes , but when ur over 60 ur playing really isn’t as good as when ur in 30-50
