    I talked to that pianist once--he was really old and playing some trios at a college. Asked him what it was like working with Heifetz. He paused and laughed: "Really difficult. He knew and could play the piano parts better than I could."

      Fat Boi does that make it any less difficult? Most people who are watching this recording probably already know what the original sounds like. Edit: Also, maybe you didn’t mean anything by it, but when somebody says that something is difficult, especially a piece of music, your first response should not be, “it’s not that hard.” Just be supportive and encourage people to keep practicing no matter how difficult the piece is. Saying, “it’s not that hard” comes off as really douchey, and generally makes you sound like an asshole.

    What I found especially interesting was the sheer beauty of the piece as performed. It was less a display of virtuosity--which of course it was as well--but a demonstration of the many ways a violin can make beautiful sounds.

    I first came across this piece in a movie about Paganini and was so blown away I thought I had discovered the greatest thing outside Liszt. Then I saw Markov’s performance and figured it couldn’t get any better. But then this came across my recommendations. Speechless! What an amazing and flawless performance made to seem effortless and such a smooth rendition! Bravo!

    I just watched a very good (and worthwhile) rendition of this by Tedi Papavrami and thought of how much I enjoyed it. I thought I'd check back in to Heifetz for contrast. Holy shit. Maybe I shouldn't have... His musicianship is absolutely unparalleled - the most emotionally intense recording of the 24th I've ever heard. NOBODY played more beautifully than Heifetz. He had a presence unlike any I've seen before (except perhaps by Neveu).

    • @hzuiel
      @hzuiel 11 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I don't know if my sense of emotional intensity in music is off, but at the very least I think I find Hilary Hahn's technical playing of this piece to be preferable to me. Perhaps Heifetz had more passion in his playing, I suppose that is up for interpretation. Some of the quality could be lost in the quality of this old recording, who knows. Either way he was an unmitigated genius. Perhaps I just want to feel that the time of greatness hasn't passed and we still walk among giants. Many people seem to feel that older is always better and everything we have today pales in comparison, in more areas than just classical music.

      Here's how I picture it:

      2: Suddenly, they draw their pistols and begin the heist
      3:The robbers scurry and begin opening the vault by hand
      4:The vault door opens, they watch the contents in awe, begin looting, meanwhile the hand of the bank manager creeps towards the alarm
      5: Alarm triggered, the robbers start to panic, frantically grabbing the cash, trying to hurry as the police arrives on the scene
      6: "This is the police! Drop your weapons!" etc.
      7: Firefight begins, a barrage of bullets, bullets whizzing by the robbers heads - the air is filled with gunpowder and dust/smoke
      8:Peeking around for an escape route, running around the bank
      9: They make a break for it: running into the woods for their lives, hearts beating out of their chests
      10: Darting and weaving trying to lose the police, but they stumble down a hill
      11: Laying on the ground dizzy, the silence is only broken by the birds singing, they reflect on their lives and the dire situation they are in.
      12: The police has surrounded them, no way out now - last stand!

    Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini has been my favorite classical piece of all time (indeed, favorite piece of any genre) , ever since I first heard it as a university student in the 1980’s. Until now I had never heard Paganini’s original, nor did I realize that the original itself was multiple variations on a theme. Brilliant :)
