Without a doubt, Paganini was, is and will be one of the greatest violinists in history, his peculiar style of music, his peculiar history make him a great composer and executor of his music. ❤️
I was fortunate to have seen Maestro Menuhin play at the Casals Festival in Puerto Rico in 1965 when I was still in high school. An unforgettable night indeed.
By shere appearance and attitude maestro Menuhin has been the real gentleman. His plaing was supreme. I like his playing better then Heifetz because he did not sacrifice the music nor support his vanity in matured age. He payed the utmost respect to the composer and to art, and not to himself, like many has been doing, especially a lot of contemporary violinists. For me - one of the few best violinists of the 20th century.
The Greatest Violinist of the 20th Century (Yehudi Menuhin) talking about the Greatest Violinist of all time (Paganini). That would have been something if they both could have performed on stage together.
@@hexadecimalhexadecimal5241 Yeah he does. You've never heard Paganini, but all evidence (like the lower standards of his time, witness accounts and technological improvement) points to Heifetz probably being better.
@@OttoKuus Critiques amongst followers gave up their life to follow and learn how to play like Paganini......in a much more desperate time and measure. I solemly believe Paganini will #1 forever but Heifetz is #2 IMO...regardless that's like saying 99.3 vs 99.6 both are imperfect yet both are divine.
@@hexadecimalhexadecimal5241Hey, you're protecting a showman who you've never heard. All we have is words mostly praising his technique. The most reliable thing left is the music which he wrote, which has little to none depht. It's primarily just tricks. Explotation of the violin. How can you say that he's better than Heifetz, when you don't even know what sounded like!?
In the same series he played the Lhargetto (2nd mov) from Beethoven's violin concerto. I have heard many versions of it but Menuhin took it to a level of divinity. Even the likes of Perlman have not equaled it imho.
I've got in My own Record Collection Some Pre war 78rpm Records off Yehudi Menuhin Playing Paganini and all Recorded by His Master's Voice Between 1932 and 1934 and one off them is the famous D Major Violin Concerto Recorded with Pierre Montaux and the Paris Symphony Orchestra Record Number's DB-2279 DB-2283 in the Pre war album
Except his atrociously high elbow, it was absolutely perfect. It's a great loss when he departed from his intuition. It was never the same after that. And then he got physical problems and his technique declined.
@@dannyboy2267 You may be correct but the adulation he continued to inspire long after his playing, not only technically but at times musically as well, had so sadly and obviously deteriorated is more than mind-boggling. Listeners hear what want to hear unto a belief system.
Henri Roy I suppose the vibrato you refer to is the peculiar rough sound Menuhim has which really intrigues me and makes his playing really recognizable. Anyway, whoever said that there is or not a need for vibrato on every note? A violinist can do whatever he wants to achieve his musical ideas, and it doesn't have to be with the audience.
The 1st. part is wonderful, and he plays fantastically all those example. The final performance of Caprice 24 is very poor and he cuts off six variations....
@@claraartnow6645 yeah 1 thing is an inrerpretation and one thing is to play a wrong passage. And about you, you also shoild get a life before speaking about others. clara.
@@fabiog801 I just think is bold from you to critisice one of the best violinist of the 20th century, so I assume you must be greater. I wanted to check it with a record of yours, fabio.

I haven't seen Menuhin on screen for such a long time; I actually forgot how good a violinist he was! Brilliant display!
The best! Pure soul,intelligence and passion. We all missed him. RIP Maestro Menuchin
What a maestro! Those double harmonics are amazing

That's amazing experience! He is a true legend
Wspomnienia Wspomnienia Wspomnienia ❤❤❤
I never imagined i would see menuhin play his famous double harmonics of paganini concerto 1, in a lesson.
A Master of the violín approaching us to another Master of the violín, thanks always 💛💙💖
great violinist and a fine compassionate mind alas he left this world.
I saw him in 1968 doing the Bach Chaconne in the cloisters in NYC and it changed my life.
What a great and special memory…thank you for sharing
Menuhin is God of sound and feeling for ever.
impressionante, un maestro del violino. Come diceva Paganini il violino si prende l`anima del violinista e gliela rida`dopo la sua morte..........
This is the video that my soul need, thank you so much
Best violin video I've ever seen...! 💎🎻♠️
This is amazing , he makes it look easy, it is extremely difficult what he does.
La frime italienne dans toute sa splendeur
WOW, BEAST.
AMAZING DISPLAY.
Mágico y bello sonido!!!!

Heifetz did not 'sacrifice the music'.

Can you please give me the link or the name of the performance please i am a pianist but recently violin started to grow in me 🙏🏻
Paganini was very happy to play the violin together in the sky..I love this song amazing...
Göttlich

Great video - but, correction, he was born May 27, 1782, not 1805 as stated.
Octomber 27* in may 27 he died
Menuhin's whole mechanic is not the same one after he rebuilt it after his 40s. He
Except his atrociously high elbow, it was absolutely perfect. It's a great loss when he departed from his intuition. It was never the same after that. And then he got physical problems and his technique declined.
dear maestro menuhin, did I get you right? paganini was born 1805 in genova ? genova is correct, but he was born in 1782 !
About as accurate as some of Maestro Menuhin's intonation here.
@@MrKlemps That's a bit harsh don't you think?
@@dannyboy2267 You may be correct but the adulation he continued to inspire long after his playing, not only technically but at times musically as well, had so sadly and obviously deteriorated is more than mind-boggling. Listeners hear what want to hear unto a belief system.
Menuhin gets the birth date wrong: it was 1782 - not 1805.
Byłam na koncercie Menuhina
Ja bylam na dwoch ....
Lo tengo en español. Gracias.
¡ Qué tristeza , no hay traduccion al español !
when he was young he played very well.
Henri Roy I suppose the vibrato you refer to is the peculiar rough sound Menuhim has which really intrigues me and makes his playing really recognizable.

Henri Roy Menuhim was really great in his early years, I agree with you
Menuhin was one of the greatest violinists of any
century. Beyond fads of vibrato or none, etc.
Играл когда-то его концерт, попалась целая страница тройных флажолетов.😨😨😨
1:46 what's this????
Violin concerto 1 mov 3
paganini too easy for yehudi
Demonic appereance?! Hahaha....
Yeah yeah maestro. The dude plays caprice 24 WRONG. Cooome on!,
The 1st. part is wonderful, and he plays fantastically all those example. The final performance of Caprice 24 is very poor and he cuts off six variations....
First look how old he is, and secondly when you reach that age try to play it yourself better.
@@iliasilias5262 Just because the critic himself cannot do it better, that does not mean he is not qualified to judge a poor performance.
@@Musicrafter12 literally anyone can be a critic, but the question is whether he has any merit that backs up his criticism...
Yeah its all wrong. He judt cant. Omg
Play it yourself, record it, upload it to youtube and then we will make a critique of your interpretation.
