I have fallen in love with Miss Ida and i was listening to her and she was telling the student to be brave dont be afraid to mess up. And i did that and i got a compliment from my instructor because he does not do that. He is strict and hard on technique technique. It was a simple comment but look who it came from.
Sometimes things that are old become new again. Just my opinion, neither of their hairstyles scream "80s." If they were maybe feathered or styled with a crimping iron that turned each strand into what looks like crinkle-cut french fries (sorry I can't describe it better!), then I'd say so.
In a just world, Ida Haendel and Annie Fischer would have been sonata partners: the complete Beethoven and the complete Mozart and the complete Brahms, and the complete Schubert. She and Gitlis: the very last drops of the older tradition.
"The very last drops of the older tradition.' What a way to say it.... "The last of the older generation to die'? And what is "the older tradition?" Crazy. And who is Annie Fischer? Never heard of her. I was just talking with someone about Gitlis the other day and the first words out of his mouth were, "Until he started getting older in the 1990s, almost nobody knew who he was and then suddenly he started getting recognized for having been a member of the Carl Flesch class and somebody who concertized back then, who knew all these OTHER great violinists. They knew him more as an actor, for what little acting he did, than for his violin playing!" Anyway, I realize you wrote your post like 10 months ago now. Just saying, since I guess you are the ghost of Otto Klemperer.
@@TwiZoneInc The older tradition featured performing artists who, like them or love them or dislike them. roundly, were great individualists. One could always tell who each of them was in just a few notes: Menuhin, Heifetz, Milstein, Szigeti, Busch---and yes Ida Haendel. Most of today's players, most of them even more technically adroit than those just named (though it's hard to beat out Heifetz, a "freak"), are a lot more anonymous, neutral in their way of playing the instrument. By the way, these considerations apply equally to the great symphony orchestras: very little individuality (or nationality) left. All are almost equally great--and sound nearly the same. Annie Fischer was a great Hungarian-Jewish pianist, a great friend of Otto Klemperer (from the late 1940's when he was music director of the Budapest Opera). She came to the US only near the end of her career, playing in several seasons to great critical and audience acclaim in (at least) Boston and New York. When smoking on airplanes was banned, she did not come anymore.
@@MrKlemps Hilarious. You must be Klemperer's ghost. He was also a compulsive talker. Hilarious too about no smoking on airplanes. I remember when it was still allowed, very soon to end. I'm glad it ended. Then again, it should never have been allowed.
@@TwiZoneInc Although I took my pseudonym from a famous anecdote about OK's talkativeness in rehearsal, it needs to be said that suffered his entire life from what we know call bi-polar disorder. He was very UNtalkative during the depressive phases of this life. Actually I was trying to expand a conversation you had begun by asking questions. I am at a loss as to why this should strike you as hilarious......
@@MrKlemps Were you like right there with him during these periods of bipolar speech impairment? I don't know, just the whole way you presented your response was funny to me. You're funny and you don't even realize it!
Saddened by the news of Ida's passing. May she rest in peace. 🕊 She will forever be remembered as one of the greats. 🎻

Oh my. Those 80s hairstyles.
I cannot express how much I do admire Mrs. Ida Haendel

such a wonderful intelligent lady,but this conferencier is just totally obsolete.
avant gardiste
I wish Ms. Brodsky speak less and let Ms. Haendel speak
The title of the video is 'A Conversation'. That's why both of them speak!
