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."
Chelsea Janssen Deliva Yeah, but you should check out kavakos’ left hand pizzes on that same piece, they are the most incredible left hand pizzes I’ve ever seen !
Amit kumar we get it, you watch 2 set like everyone else. but he definitely fucked up like 7 times. also it sounds more clear because the audio is heavily compressed. not much of a high quality audio signal at the time.
@@billyt8868 I don't understand what u are trying to say. All I m saying is he did an excellent job performing this. I dont think there's any other performance of this piece which can match this level.
Billy T thank you for your comment. You reminded me why I never read comments on TH-cam videos. I broke my rule and was rewarded by your inane comment. Never again.
*After hearing the young Heifetz play Paganini's "Moto Perpetuo" flawlessly on another occasion, Leopold Auer, who taught both Heifetz and Elman in St. Petersburg, Russia, said, "He doesn't even realize that it cannot be played that fast."*
every single detail is just perfect. Cannot find a single violinist that has this level of abosolute control over each tinniest motion. It's just accurate, accurate, and accurate. Really impressive.
Julia Fisher ? Listen to her playin Tchaïkovski, it's almost perfect ! Hilary Hahn or Sarah Chang maybe (Chang's version of Paganini's first concerto is beautiful, and she was only 15 when she played it)
I'm not a violonist (I'm a pianist), but I can understand and appreciate Mr. Jascha Heifetz's great interpretation of this beautiful caprice! Thank you for sharing this treasure!
8 years.... 8 years ago I saw this video and I wanted to learn to play the violin (no one asked me but I am currently 17), before that I was not interested in music and much less in wanting to learn to play an instrument, it was a rather naughty boy and well, on a boring morning I picked up my brother's phone and started watching his videos and found this downloaded video, I saw it and was shocked... that incredible astonishment of a child when he sees and hears something new scored so far. when I feel unmotivated or just bad, I return to this video, thank you very much for uploading it.
You can do both dude and don't bury your first choice. Just take music course as your hobby and keep learning the things you want to learn. I can say this is carrier reserve, so if you want to get more benefit you can use your skill that you've learn before.
This is the peak my friend. It is revolting to see how a single individual can achieve this but we must understand this is a journey that starts before anyone can see how. Let’s enjoy and appreciate what these extraordinary people left. Practicing 40+ hours a day is fine if you have the nature of a monk but it will unlikely make you Heifetz
I watched a lot of caprice 24, played by modern day prodigies and fantastic violinists, including Hillary hanh. I’m sorry but this is the best version I have seen. It’s both the skill and the ease, relaxed approach of his play, and also his interpretation. Simply superb. ❤
As a person with no musical training, it is still evident almost immediately into the recording how skilled Heifetz is compared other violinists.. This rendition is simply amazing.
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.
Yes that note is amazing! I've heard David Oistrakh playing the same high note but of course more raw, their styles are quite different. Heifetz is like polished diamond
Thank you for pointing this out! ❤ His change of hand and finger position is so fast, I can't follow it with my eyes, even after five times watching that moment. Just amazing.

@@LoveIncest how do u even compare Paganini to Heifetz. There are no recordings to compare. It’s like saying Liszt is the best pianist to have ever lived

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!
Thanks maestro, music can be performed and fell in many different ways, the pulse, the understanding of phrasing, the soul in every variation, that's our Heifetz
heifetz is the real legend.i see is bowing mechanics and how he moves his arm with the rythm.this is so unique he even made his own russian type bow hold but its modified
This was a great man as well as the preeminent violinist of the 20th century.His many charitable works and great efforts in teaching young promising violinists attests to the quality of an individual he was. He was a shooting star ,lighting up the musical sky. A once in a century talent.
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).
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: 1.variation: The robbers are strolling towards the bank, acting nonchalantly while entering through the doors, take their positions 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!
Eu concordo com você, Heiftz era perfeito em todos os fundamentos em tocar o violino, e ele não usava espaleira que dificultava muito em segurar o violino no queixo. Para mim depois de Paganini ele foi o melhor.
Que tal maestría, ningún otro violinista que he escuchado interpretar esta pieza musical, ha logrado la perfección con que Jascha Heifetz lo lograba, excelente video , excelente música y excelente inerprete.
Heifetz is the master violinist. A marvelous performance. The child prodigies referred to are not capable of playing like this, nor are some of the 20-year old wunderkind. There is a difference in playing "the notes" and playing "the musical phrases and 'glisses' " with gusto, feeling, velocity, endurance, and accuracy. Thanks, newsreelarchive.
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 :)
One of my all-time favorite videos. I do believe that the audio for this was recorded separately from the film, which was synced (not that this diminishes the maestro's playing in any way... in fact I cant imagine dubbing something so perfectly!) Best part: 5:55, "a plane to catch in 20 minutes", yeah maybe he had a chance in 1950!
MAGNIFICO!!!!!!! HEAVENLY!!!!!!! VUNDABAR!!!!!! LIKE IT WAS THE SOUL OF THE GREAT PAGANINI TRANSFERED HIMSELF INTO THE GENIUS OF HEITFETZ!!!!!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL RESULT. MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS DMDV.
I am not a violin afficionado(however i can see myself becoming one)but this is obviously genius level playing, it's the first time i have seen a violin player play a piece that makes such a heavy use of the vibrato and ligado pretty cool indeed. I get the impression that this piece of music started out as an technical exercise.
Heifetz was theee greatest violinist ever lived in modern times. His style and technique were so unique that no other great violinists in our time could surpass him. Perhaps Erick Friedman came closest to him in style since he was Heifetz ‘s student, whom sadly deserved greater fame.
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."

True! A. Markov and D. Garret use a lot of energy to perform this piece, but Heifetz remains calm.

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!

Laughed and laughed a your comment. Such fun, maybe a cartoon. Well performed anyway!
Best interpretation of this caprice ever made!
Straordinario, eccezionale, commovente ad ogni ascolto!! ❤️
"Thomas has never seen such violinist"
It was time for Thomas to leave
Goosebumps from beginning to end. Flawless, superb, simply magnificent.
Yes ... Paganini one of my favorites
No one can be more skillful than him.
It just like a magic......how can a person playing violin like him.
Esse foi sem dúvida o maior violinista pós Paganini....
Eu concordo com você, Heiftz era perfeito em todos os fundamentos em tocar o violino, e ele não usava espaleira que dificultava muito em segurar o violino no queixo.
Para mim depois de Paganini ele foi o melhor.
Que tal maestría, ningún otro violinista que he escuchado interpretar esta pieza musical, ha logrado la perfección con que Jascha Heifetz lo lograba, excelente video , excelente música y excelente inerprete.
The best interpretation I've seen !
Thanks for this chanel. I was finished my studies about violin professional, here. With simplicity. Evandro Dabbronzo.
oh my god those false harmonics at 4:14 are so perfect
Deslumbrante ejecución del Prestigioso Violinista Jascha Heifetz .
Su impecable técnica lo hace ser por siempre un Violinista Excepcional .
The Master of Masters
That left hand pizzicato and harmonics are just pure butter 👌🔥
바알못이라 처음 이 영상을 봤을땐 음 잘하네. 그런데 댓글들이 그렇게 칭송할 수준인가? 했다. 그런데 많은 연주자들의 카프리스24 연주를 듣고 보니 이 연주는 말그대로 완벽이고, 그는 천상의 연주자라는 말 밖에 표현할 방법이 없음을 알게 되었다.

Never ceases to amaze me. The more I watch this epicness themore stunned I get.
God's pupil playing a piece of the Devil's pupil
Funny, isn’t it?
@@pineapple7024 yes. Just yes
Best comment.
He had an amazing bow technique.
Perfekcjonista. Niedościgniony. Dziękuję bardzo ❤❤❤
Великaя музыкa в исполнении тaлaнтливого человекa!!! Пaгaнини гений!
Heifetz is the master violinist. A marvelous performance. The child prodigies referred to are not capable of playing like this, nor are some of the 20-year old wunderkind. There is a difference in playing "the notes" and playing "the musical phrases and 'glisses' " with gusto, feeling, velocity, endurance, and accuracy. Thanks, newsreelarchive.
Such masterful playing. One of the Linglings of this world.
First time I saw this performance on vhs some 30 years ago I couldn't close my mouth for a week!!
The best violinist of all times. Well, we will never know how Paganini himself played.
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 :)
Heifetz: La serena perfección
Heifetz: The serene perfection
One of my all-time favorite videos. I do believe that the audio for this was recorded separately from the film, which was synced (not that this diminishes the maestro's playing in any way... in fact I cant imagine dubbing something so perfectly!) Best part: 5:55, "a plane to catch in 20 minutes", yeah maybe he had a chance in 1950!
My favorit caprice! :)
Henny you spelled favorite wrong lol
MAGNIFICO!!!!!!! HEAVENLY!!!!!!! VUNDABAR!!!!!!
LIKE IT WAS THE SOUL OF THE GREAT PAGANINI TRANSFERED HIMSELF
INTO THE GENIUS OF HEITFETZ!!!!!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL RESULT.
MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS
DMDV.
trop fort
ses crescendo _ decrescendo sont uniques pour cette pièce ....
unique vraiment le n 1
Phenomenal!! ...amazing focus
He's so fast his hands have motion blur in the thumbnail!
Heifetz and Paganini are the world’s greatest violinists of all time, in my humble opinion.
*ATTENTION TWOSETTERS*
this is ling ling
*i n t e r e s t i n g*
Hmmmmmmmmm.... I N T E R E S T I N G
*if you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly*
Yo Jascha! If you can play in this speed then you can play it quickly
Cousn
Wow! the quality of this video is spectacular. it's better than most people's phone videos.
Bravoooo, Soberbio, Excelente.
Gracias.
I am not a violin afficionado(however i can see myself becoming one)but this is obviously genius level playing, it's the first time i have seen a violin player play a piece that makes such a heavy use of the vibrato and ligado pretty cool indeed. I get the impression that this piece of music started out as an technical exercise.
Perfect intonation, perfect elbow angle, perfect wrist flexibility, uh perfect everything?
Heifetz was theee greatest violinist ever lived in modern times. His style and technique were so unique that no other great violinists in our time could surpass him. Perhaps Erick Friedman came closest to him in style since he was Heifetz ‘s student, whom sadly deserved greater fame.
Божественно! Прекрасно! Гениально!
