There is such a projection and crispness/intentionality to heifitz's playing. I listen and watch in awe 33 Reply 1 reply @markkelly3859 10 years ago I listened to Heifetz recordings when I was a child over 50 years ago, and I have still not heard his equal. 592 Reply 40 replies @malcolmdale 7 years ago After a concert a lady gushed to Heifetz "I'd give my life to play like you." He replied simply, "I did". 2.9K Reply 47 replies @cedarjerseygirl96 13 years ago When I finish inventing a time machine, I will go back in time, and the first thing I do will be to go see Jascha Heifetz in concert. 445 Reply 15 replies @thesleuthinvestor2251 5 years ago Heifetz said: "Use your technique to show the music, do not use the music to show your technique." 695 Reply 16 replies @RichardAguanno 3 months ago (edited) I got into Heifetz when I moved into a Jewish part of the city.A local music shop suggested that I listen to him.Since then I listened to so many artists.Thank you for turning me on.

She was right. 12 Reply @paulwellings-longmore1012 4 months ago In the choice between playing the violin and acting, Heifetz definitely made the right decision. Reply @edwardgoldsmith8011 5 years ago There never will be another Heifetz.he was and always will be the greatest. 6 Reply @fourstrings48 7 years ago (edited) David Steven Tabbat Back in the early Sixties, when I was in my early teens, I adored Heifetz's recordings and listened to them over and over again: concertos by Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev, Mendelssohn and Sibelius, wonderful recordings of unaccompanied Bach.... Heifetz was my idol, and it is one of my regrets that I never heard him live, even though we both lived in Los Angeles: my parents packed me off to summer camp just when Heifetz was giving a series of performances at the Hollywood Bowl, and I still rather hold it against them. My father even had the nerve to say of Heifetz: "In many ways, he's a very unsatisfactory guy." If Heifetz didn't meet his standards, who on Earth could possibly have made the grade? But who knows? I'm seventy now, and maybe I'll get to hear him in Heaven.... 245 Reply 6 replies @CanadaWalks 4 years ago August 2021, Let's see how many people are listening to this 💕masterpiece 💕 1 Reply @frankharder4629 9 years ago When Heifetz's instructor named all of his students, he left Heifetz out.

He walked out on stage and the first thing he did way play, Farmer in the Dell, with all the sounds.. we were floored. He then taught us what Music really was and how the love of music could change one's life. 26 Reply @godslisaru 1 month ago From a decent violinist....he's the best who ever was ❤❤❤ 1 Reply @wombat5628 6 years ago (edited) The actress, Marsha Hunt, born in 1917, is still alive, now soon to be age 102.

He had just finished a concert and a fan approached him in his dressing room and said, " your violin sounded wonderful".

He made it look effortlessly, but years of practice produced that magnificence Reply @Treborstuben 10 years ago Heifetz separates himself from everybody else because of his effortless playing. He doesn't draw attention to himself like most musicians do today. He lets the music speak for itself. 512 Reply 14 replies @4980cbs 10 years ago When, as a child, I heard this music for the first time, a less quality version, I used to go to a shop window just to look at the violin exhibited there, fascinated. 17 Reply @danclay8229 11 months ago Today years old after reading a list of kids that were profoundly awesome at something they literally changed the world that I search up this guy.

To him Heifetz was practically God. He didn't necessarily agree with all of his interpretations, but over all he was the greatest. His sound was also far better in real life than on recordings. Perlman also seems to practically idolize Heifetz 73 Reply @KingAeetes 9 years ago How do you define perfection: two words: Jascha Heifetz. 59 Reply 1 reply @surlysmiles 13 years ago I'm a violinist of about 11 years now, and I think I'm pretty good, until whenever I watch Jascha Heifetz.

His technique and bow control is beyond human understanding. But what makes this phenomenon is that when you listen his violin you hear his beautiful soul, and he could do it at any speed. His conservative I would say elegant stage demeanor just adds to his virtuosity. 5 Reply @aquilabianca9138 1 year ago Heifetz uno dei mostri sacri del violino!!!!! 1 Reply @RezaMolavi 5 years ago For the life of me, I cannot understand the FUCKING thumb downs.

The only one comparable is Nicolo Paganini, who was with no doubt the greatest virtuoso violinist of all time. Heifetz's child violin teacher, when asked who his best student was, did not mention Heifetz. But everyone knew he was the best, but the teacher simply replied,"Jascha is not my student. He is the student of god." 14 Reply @erxu 3 years ago (edited) The film is "Carnegie Hall" from 1947, and the actress is Marsha Hunt who just passed away on September 7, 2022. She was 104 years old.

She told me how he practiced his scales for an hour everyday, and that he has such amazing intonation because he fixes his finger before he puts it down because of muscle memory. Truly jaw dropping! 3 Reply 1 reply @MrCenterofgravity 2 months ago The goat Reply @junlinyi4892 11 years ago Very smooth and relaxed, yet surprisingly tense and expressing at times. This concerto actually got me into Tchaikovsky's music. A very simply and beautiful piece such as this concerto can be extremely difficult to play, as all violinists have to realize. I'm sure Heifetz surpassed Tchaikovsky's expectation of any performance of his piece had he been there to see it. Heifetz surely deserves his reputation as the best violinist of the 20th century, if not of all time, in every aspect that music needs. 86 Reply @RatIceCream 9 years ago (edited) Best violinist of all time!! 252 Reply 25 replies @marxismisevil839 2 years ago Best Tjajkovskij ever!.

Together, they are unsurpassable to date. He is not a cold performer, just accomplished and focusing on his own artistry. The music is played as Composers have always wanted it to be heard by their audiences, perfectly and magically. 2 Reply @jennifermorrison9923 7 years ago The master at work is Jascha we miss you the people who can play like this are a gift to us if we can stop for just a minuet and listen to the joy that it gives we will be blessed indeed KOR F 3 Reply @christianguignard9980 10 years ago Jacsha Heifetz nous offre de la première à la dernière note, un enchantement surnaturel. Son jeu est brillant et sensible, ainsi que savent l' exprimer les musiciens de même origine. cependant Jascha est parfaitement précis, et toujours à la note, ce qui le distingue particulièrement. Il y a beaucoup d' émotion dans son jeu, un ressenti qui convient bien à ce genre de partition expressionnistes, c' est un orchestre à lui seul ! Il est néanmoins l' icone d' une expression d' un autre temps, ce qui en sois ne me déplaît pas, bien au contraire, le temps aurait bien pu s' arrêter avec lui ! Mais qu' avons nous gagné dans nos expressions contemporaines et nos artistes conceptuels qui ne conçoivent pas que la réalisation est d' abord intérieure et nous vient d' en haut ! d' autres violonistes ouvrirent parfois à une solennité constructive, qui permit un regard tout aussi profitable bien que différent, mais notre actualité est triste à mon sens de n' avoir plus d' âme, car plus de maîtres; Ce sont les maîtres qui enseignent, et il n' y a là ni filiation de sang ni de droit divin ou notarial, c' est un vécu qui permet aux grands hommes d' advenir, un vécu familial, un vécu identitaire, et une grâce qui ne s' acquiert pas mais se reçoit....lorsque Jascha fait vibrer son violon, nous écoutons la vibration de son âme propre, son identité première, mais aussi une légitimité et une provenance ascensionnelle ! il y a de l' esprit en Heifetz, bien plus que ce que l' on nomme de manière inconvenante le génie !. La grâce est en Heifetz comme Heifetz est en grâce, et c' est là sa merveille, son avènement unique. C' est bien plus que de la musique, c' est l' incarnation de la prière, une communion totale, miséricordieuse et bienfaisante. La résilience qui nous imprègne à travers son oeuvre se définit par le positif de sa vie et la lumière qu' il extrait, non pas du néant mais d' un amour infini auquel il à accès. Jascha Heifetz exhale une absolue confiance qui est un baume à la vie, en parler et le reconnaître nous fait entrer en communion. 3 Reply @tuttilynn3791 2 years ago Look how long his pinkie is…..

We had a new member to our orchestra Yasha Heifitz's grandson. For that whole day we played music for Yasha and he joined in with us, too. I went on to learn the Oboe and English Horn through High School. We moved to Northern Vermont during my 7th grade and I attended a College Prep in Vermont, no cost as Vermont State law pay's for public high school if there isn't a one near by. I got to play with the Vermont Chamber Orchestra a couple times. I even learned the Bass Sax for our school's Jazz Band. But it was never the same again then that time in the San Fernando Valley, 1958. I'm just sorry I didn't persue the Bassoon too. I was drafted into the Army at 18 in 1966 went to Vietnam for 2 1/2 years and never picked up the instruments again.

It's even better than this one, in my opinion. And, please, if you have a turntable, get it on vinyl. The original RCA Living Stereo release is very good, but the RCA .5 Series half-speed re-master is even better. Analogue Productions, the record label of Acoustic Sounds, has just come out with their own re-master on 200-gram vinyl from the original RCA 3-track analog master tapes, and I hear it's fabulous. If you don't have a turntable-get one! :) Otherwise, Analogue Productions has a superb hybrid SACD version of the recording that was also made from the original 3-track analog master tapes. 82 Reply 7 replies @yefanovagalina3956 4 years ago Слушая сердце замирает душа поёт не возможно написать словами спасибо богу за таких людей от которых вдохновляешься 3 Reply @M-L969 5 years ago 💐🎻💐💐 Reply @loves5leon 12 years ago Brilliant!

In MOST cases, emotion in the performer translates to physical tension and takes away from the resonance. There is a level of musicianship where one can see the emotion/music from the outside so to speak, bypassing the tension and allowing for ultimate freedom. 12 Reply @PeggyakaSweetpea 7 years ago wow, wow, wow, let me catch my breath.

This concerto was nearly perfect since he plucked the strings a few times which didn't make the piece as perfect. Another reason why I like him is because he practices simple scales from 5:00 to 7:00 every morning. I have to say that he is a master seen every five centuries. He is rare and talented.
