Plus grand violoniste du monde...ça ne veut rien dire...à son époque il était quasiment le seul a interpreter le grand répertoire..depuis combien d'autres tout aussi talentueux se succèdent avec un talent qui n' à rien à envier à celui d Heifetz..il n' en demeure pas moins qu' il reste leur référence ...Comme certains pour Menhuin
Excelente perfecto muchas gracias esto es asombroso fuera de series pareciera que sus dedos y su mano Derecha no desarrollan ácido láctico es muy ágil volador su mano toca como un ángel....
I absolutely love Heifetz, but I really don’t agree with his bowing at the very beginning! Not sure why he does it, because it totally changes the phrasing that Mendelssohn so carefully marked...
i wonder if it is marked that way in the edition edited by Auer. Some time ago someone I knew downloaded the Auer edited edition, and I noticed that Heifetz's fingerings in that opening passage were, as I recall it, very much like those marked in the Auer edition. I don't remember much about the bowings.
@@nidurnevets Yes, I've the Auer edition too at home and the fingerings are what Heifetz is doing in the very opening (an interesting use of harmonics, perhaps slightly old fashioned by today's standards..!) But with regards to the bowing, Heifetz has invented his own here. Auer's bowing is the same as Mendelssohn's/Ferdinand David's bowing in the original score. There is a very interesting masterclass (audio only, sadly) of Louis Persinger teaching the Mendelssohn Concerto. He discusses why Mendelssohn's original bowing is so important to achieve the correct phrasing as Mendelssohn intended. I highly recommend you search and listen to it!
@@dillonjeffares4434 Very interesting. It is so wonderful that we can see how these great violinists played.. My father was a violinist with the NY Philharmonic in the Heifetz era, and to him, there was no one like Heifetz. He didn't always agree with his interpretations, but overall he considered him to be in a class of his own.
blows every modern playing violinist out of the water. the old guard may never come again. they played music for different reasons. today, its all business. clean sound, good rhythm... generic performances. no risk taking. and above all, a boring safe tempo. unfortunately in todays conservatories, they dont let the students go passed a certain tempo or even try to be creative.
Запис достатньо не якісний. Мені більш подобається виконання цього концерту Фелікса Мендельсона не менш славетним ніж Яша Хейфец - Ієгуді Менухіним. На своій сторінці у Фейсбуці я зберіг для себе це неперевершене виконання.
Heifetz is overrated indeed. It is NOT THE FACT that he doesn't smile while playing. It is the way he plays. No smart rubatos, no dynamics, just trying to achieve fast passages without difficulties, and that's it. Trills and vibrato are static also...
Coming from another system of music, some of us think Western Classical is too emotional and exaggerated. Much of it sounds better the simpler it's played.
It’s a remarkably modern rendition that comes closer to what we know about Mendelssohn’s own ideas of how to interpret this movement: fast tempo, very straight. Mendelssohn hated rubati and regularly became furious about them when accompanying violinists with this piece at the piano. We know this from more than one source. The concerto has a strong tradition of a very romantic interpretation that already started with Ferdinand David and others while Mendelssohn still lived. Heifetz is not free of this and does a lot of rubati. Take the cadenza when the arpeggios start: Mendelssohn explicitly noted “a tempo” after the fermata.
@@powerflower6727 This is a poor recording in the old days of filming. His recordings emphasize the style, the rubato, his unique tasteful slides and the fiery passion that is missing her. Listen to his Sibelius, Saint-Saens.
My father heard him play live several times, as he was a violinist in the NY Philharmonic, and thought that he was above and beyond everyone else of that era. We are all entitled to our opinion, of course.
during heifetz’ lifetime, critics often tried to find fault with him, but they could they could not find fault with his perfection. so, they began to criticize his lack of facial expression, and also proclaimed that his playing was cold. so, one critic decided to do a blind listening test of heifetz and another famous violinist playing passages from the same composition.they then asked each listener who was more emotional. to a person, everyone chose heifetz.
Jascha heifetz est un extra terrestre un vrai monstre du violon 🎻 .
Thank you for posting my favorite concerto by the world's greatest violinist
ditto
@@warrenliebesman1178 Mine too. No equal to Heifetz ever.

In this life ! We never ever will see someone like Heifetz ! Never mind, this guy was unick !
One of the greatest of all time playing my favorite concerto.
That cadenza was absolutely astonishing
Amazing!👍👍👍The speed is crazy! He is truly the fastest violinist in the world!
The Bowing phrasing nobody plays like Heifetz . Thx for posting watched hundreds of times .
Heifetz is REALLY well-suited for this concerto.
So incredibly beautiful. It makes me cry.
The velocity microphone in front of Heifetz uses RCA's 44BX! Probably the video is Bell Telephone Hour. Thank you for uploading!

Beautiful
Simply the goat
The perfect version.
God’s very own fiddler Heifetz was!!! Inimitable
Like burning bush
大師就是大師！
@Tianshu Gu
Thank you for posting this video!
5th finger....GODLY!
Скрипка дышит и поет! Кристально чистое исполнение, каким слухом Бог одарил этого человека!
For my, the best part starts at 7:10...
OMG, where did you find this? i’ve been searching for an actual live vid of him playing this concerto. THANK YOU!!!
Me too
Idk how, but we have a tape of this particular performance.
Великолепно! Я влюбилась!
Великая музыка !!! Спасибо талантливому скрипачу !!! Божественное звучание !!!
PHENOMENAL!
Great heyfets
Astounding
The best
Is this video sped up? It sounds odd even for Heifetz’s incredible speed
хейфец поцелован богом он не нуждается в комментариях его нужно просто слушать и наслаждаться
Oddly - or maybe not - there is something in Heifetz's profile reminiscent of Horowitz.
忍不住點開設定確認這是1.0倍速，超級震撼
he often left accompanying musicians scrambling to keep up!
Me watching this after Brett performance
八度完美音准完美主要是拉琴的力度让他不同还有运功太顺

Who’s the conductor?!

One of the Menuhin competition contestants played that bowing too and it sounded great. So did this recording

People should use comfortable bowings, not bowings that feel unnatural
What is this orchestra (-ω- ?)
video and audio out of sync...

Girdite? Puiku!
Band is to loud !!!
I think he had a plane to catch
Too fast
Nah ,you don't judge Heifetz here.
You shall never judge Heifetz, son.

Я лучше играю чем он)
Serious lack of Innigkeit...
I agree. I like the modern style which find more romantic, feminine and heartfelt. This was cold and to the point.
Guys it's just cultural difference.
