With Szeryng, music is never a speed contest. He is the greatest live performer I ever experienced. One of the all-time best. While at Indiana University, I took part in one of his master classes and what a wonderful teacher he was.
Glorious tempo! Szeryng is not at all showy, and the tempo, slower than many younger fiddlers play this masterpiece today, allows the wonderful warmth of the Rondo and Mozart to shine through. It doesn't hurt that he's playing his wonderful Strad. I was privileged to have had a master class with Maestro Szeryng in Mexico in 1967. I learned more from him in 2 hours than I have since.Shame I cannot play as well, but it is a constant joy to hear him. The cadenza work is a revelation and a joy
@@yefimpastukh3505 I'm pretty certain their comment was tacitly in response to Heifetz's version. Whilst Heifet's playing of this is incredibly impressive, it's not exactly stylish!
Now this is a Violinist. Perfect form, lots of expression and passion in his playing. Mr Szeryng would give Perlmann a run for his money. Miss Sopie Mutter, I hope your watching this and taking notes.
In my opinion, Szeryng doesn't get enough credit for his masterful ability. It seems Grumiaux, Heifetz, Menhuin, and Stern received more attention. But, I believe Henrryk's playing was true to the music and the composer. His Bach VC's and Mozart violin sonatas on the Philips label is as the composers intended. No embellishment, just straight playing from the heart. They are marveleous...... interpretations.
Szeryng knew how to play stylistically correct, and that is one of the rarest qualities among violinists and musicians in general. His Bach must be the best, and as for Mozart, I think his tempo is perfect. I think this is the tempo in which violinists from Mozart's time would have played in. He's not technical at all, I think he's a marvelous violinist, perfectly combining style, technique, and soul in all of his interpretations.
Un tempo tranquille qui permet de chanter à loisir.Le risque d'un tempo assez lent est la lourdeur. Si Szeryng chante merveilleusement jamais le moindre faux accent. J'adore
@misador @misador Thanks for the clarification Mr. Isador! What a privilege to have collaborated with Mr. Szerying at that time. And incidentally the set looks very authentic. The fact that this performance was recorded in a studio helps explain why the acoustics are so superior, without the reverberation of typical European construction (too many hard surfaces). Also, I thought I had seen your face before on a record jacket as the pianist collaborating with Arthur Grumiaux.
I agree with "GeorgeEnescu" and "leafmixer". Szeryng can sure play with finesse, tonality and technique. While no one can touch "the freak of nature" (as my teacher calls Heifetz!) when it come to technique, I think many can overcome him when it comes to evoking feeling, which this recording does in spades.
Ainda acho David Oistrakh Leonid Kogan e jascha Heifetz os melhores de todos tempos mais concerteza logo em seguida esta Henryk Szeryng Nathan Milstein e Zino Francescatti e outros.Szeryng é aquele tipo de violinista que nunca decepciona.
las versiones de Grumiaux son muy buenas también. Szeryng es en mi opinión uno de los grandes que tuvo el siglo XX, (como Milstein, Kogan que desafortunadamente no se repitieron mejorados hasta ahora al menos)
@misador About this rondo's tempo, let's keep in mind that in addition to being a Kreisler transcription, it's a transcription from an orchestral score. I can't picture an orchestra playing this at a very fast tempo. So why should the violin version of the music be played faster?
Henryk Szeryng (usually pronounced HEN-rik SHEH-ring) (22 September 1918 - 3 March 1988) was a violinist born in Poland and later a naturalized citizen of Mexico. Check out his full Wiki reference for more on his life !!
@GeorgeEnescu i agree Szeryng is amazing.. But as for Bach, my personal favorite is Milstein. But I suppose when they are at that level, it really comes down to personal taste. :-)
@misador Quite a revelation, that Giumiaux would be Szeryng's favorite violinist. Regarding Szeryng's musicianship, I have been his fan since I was a kid. My violin instructor claims that Szeryng is probably the only violinist who plays the Bach solo sonatas being faithful to the score, and he is probably right.
Szeryng spielt mit wunderbarer Leichtigkeit. Da kann man sich abschauen, wie das Rondo eigentlich zu spielen ist. 🙂 Bei der Bezeichnung des Stückes ist noch erwähnen, dass es sich um eine Bearbeitung von Fritz Kreisler handelt.
I've never heard anyone bash Kreisler's cadenzas. I've always thought that he wrote some of the best cadenzas for Beethoven and Mozart's works. Give it a second chance?
Oh please. I would be so glad to hear yourself playing this sober. Why don't you try it?. Frankly, I couldn't do it myself. How much do I hate hearing people talking about immense artists who left art testimonies for future generations to learn!
Szerying is a tonalist. Style, grace, intonation, and sound quality first. A great master. Not a technical wizard like Heifetz who sounds so fast playing this that is turns into a race. Of course Heifetz is the greatest technical master of all, but I still prefer Szerying for sound any day. Bravo!
This is beautiful. Oh, but spikedardens, what the heck is a miniaturist?? Is this some violinist cult that im missing out on? Anyway Szeryng is way too underated, he is the best!
I don't understand some Heifetz-ubers who listen to other violinists only to say "Meh, Jascha is far better!" Both are great artists, with different styles. I happen to prefer the less flamboyant and elegant Szeryng but that's just a matter of taste.
LB2007 totally agree:D I was scrolling in the comments and literately every one said about Heifetz, but I think this is appropriate for me, this is gr8
Heifetz had a great technique, but he was cold as ice.Technique is only a tool, the music goes beyond. Szeryng was technically superb and went beyond with music.
@rostagno Yes, Szeryng was never the spontaneous type, especialy towards the end of his career, when alcohol got the better of him. Still, you should hear his early recordings. Full of fire!
How about just listen to it not not worry about credits to the tree that made the wood for the violin and poor fly wacking horse tail that made the bow hair, and the janitor who keeps things clean, but the violinist and CZcams, Sir MrFpam!?
HUGE fan of Szeryng, but in this case his violin isn't properly tuned. It's a pity that they didn't do a second take, as it would have been exceptional.
@maxhansendk and you probably think you are.. now to the ugly comment for the violinist you have added the one for me. probably that's the only thing that makes your day good. I can understand humor and I've investigated some sources concerning Henryk Szeryng. You probably won't understand, but that's so rude and disrespectful to create such an image of him being not worth a 1/1000 of his talent. And all that long after he passed away. 'not bad for drunk as a skunk' and so on. Go on, silly
With Szeryng, music is never a speed contest. He is the greatest live performer I ever experienced. One of the all-time best. While at Indiana University, I took part in one of his master classes and what a wonderful teacher he was.
Even when Szeryng was drunk he could still play better than most violinists when sober
100crowns hahahaha

He is truly an outstanding violinist.
He is the best. Szeryng plays it so well.😄🎻🎻
this is the best version i've ever heard of this piece. sounds so much better at this tempo.
Unquestionably great playing but do yourself a favor and listen to Heifetz
@@yefimpastukh3505 I'm pretty certain their comment was tacitly in response to Heifetz's version. Whilst Heifet's playing of this is incredibly impressive, it's not exactly stylish!
I stay with Kreisler.
Now this is a Violinist. Perfect form, lots of expression and passion in his playing.
Mr Szeryng would give Perlmann a run for his money. Miss Sopie Mutter, I hope your watching this and taking notes.
Very beautiful,elegant and perfect!
wow... now I am a big fan of Henryk Szeryng
and thank you for share this video!
WOW! he plays it with so much soul and heart.. I loved it!
im playing this piece right now- this is very helpful thanx
So musical and elegant interpretation from the great master !
His hands are so big!!!!!! awesome

I like his style. Restrained, elegant. Very 18th century.

Great perfomance ! The best i ever heard :)
Absolute class
oh nice. very noice

This is seriously one of the greatest things my ears have ever heard. Szeryng just gives so much class, refinement, sensitivity, and joie de vivre
потрясающе!
Awesome !!!!!!
gioriso muchas gracias por compartirlo alejandra
he is feeling it

Il tempo im questa esecuzione è la perfezione aurea in assoluto e ne wsakta in modo assoluto l'autore
He is describing the pronunciation and it's a good example!
Quel fabuleux violoniste, si intègre...
J'aime beaucoup.
his repeated upbows, the light strokes for the first 2 minutes,
MAKE ME SO JEALOUS, THEYRE THE SMOOTHEST SOUNDING UPBOWS
Jonah Chen his articulation with the bow is simply amazing
Yep!
Su elegantes fraseo y estilo y su Maravilloso Sonido lo hacen ser un Violinista Excepcional .
Bravo bravo sheryng is the best violinist 😍

Wow
Super
Showwwwww!!!!!!!!!!

I'm Polish too. Szeryng... you can say like a "sharing" :)
@GeorgeEnescu i agree Szeryng is amazing.. But as for Bach, my personal favorite is Milstein. But I suppose when they are at that level, it really comes down to personal taste. :-)
Ele é tão grande como Heifetz OIstrakh Kogan ele era perfeito não gravações ruins,

same here
niceeeeeeeeeeeeee~
Yes, this is how my violin teacher says it.
the 2:42 really quite teary-eyed like
Mozart can be glad that someone is playing his work as Szeryng
Much better than the Heifetz. Played with great grace and beauty, as it should be. Heifetz always played everything as if he had a plane to catch,
I've never heard anyone bash Kreisler's cadenzas. I've always thought that he wrote some of the best cadenzas for Beethoven and Mozart's works. Give it a second chance?
Wow, thanks. I wasn't expecting a reply to a comment I made years ago.
A the piano: american pianist Michael Isador
sounds like sharing, but the first syllable is pronounced like the first syllable in Jacques.
Oh please. I would be so glad to hear yourself playing this sober. Why don't you try it?. Frankly, I couldn't do it myself.
How much do I hate hearing people talking about immense artists who left art testimonies for future generations to learn!
SHARE-ing - I am 'sharing' my candy.....
sehr gut Morzart spieler
Finished playing ,pulled the rest of hair,Good!
@TheMmesser i can'y agree with you anymore : )
Szerying is a tonalist. Style, grace, intonation, and sound quality first. A great master. Not a technical wizard like Heifetz who sounds so fast playing this that is turns into a race. Of course Heifetz is the greatest technical master of all, but I still prefer Szerying for sound any day. Bravo!
nothing else but great! by the way is that a stradivarius
No, Guarneri del Gesu.
@minigalaxy I hope you are joking...That is NOT Gidon Kremer on the piano.
あー自分の楽譜と途中から違う… でも凄い綺麗な音
This is beautiful. Oh, but spikedardens, what the heck is a miniaturist?? Is this some violinist cult that im missing out on? Anyway Szeryng is way too underated, he is the best!
I like the slow, rich tonality here.....but Heifetz doesn't miss A SINGLE trick either
Slower Tempo than Heifetz, but very genuine and polished. His style suites the slower phrases, I guess.
I don't understand some Heifetz-ubers who listen to other violinists only to say "Meh, Jascha is far better!" Both are great artists, with different styles. I happen to prefer the less flamboyant and elegant Szeryng but that's just a matter of taste.

@rostagno Yes, Szeryng was never the spontaneous type, especialy towards the end of his career, when alcohol got the better of him. Still, you should hear his early recordings. Full of fire!
Who's the pianist?
How do you say Szeryng?
How about just listen to it not not worry about credits to the tree that made the wood for the violin and poor fly wacking horse tail that made the bow hair, and the janitor who keeps things clean, but the violinist and CZcams, Sir MrFpam!?

@maxhansendk have you been with him to know for sure or is it a habbit of making silly fun of people you don't even know?
昨今では少なくなった、質実剛健で古武士のような、硬質なモーツァルト❗️
Szeryng er den av de store som fremfører all verker like vakker med tecnic and sober feeling…..
If only I could play like this being as drunk as he is.
As Yuri Bashmet said it " in order to play drunk you have to practice drunk"
he does better than me!
Look at the difference of the top comments xD
How about crediting Kreisler for his arrangement?
HUGE fan of Szeryng, but in this case his violin isn't properly tuned.
It's a pity that they didn't do a second take, as it would have been exceptional.
I prefer Heifetz.
But still GREAT!
Chromometron, I think it's like the English word "sharing." But if I'm wrong, I'm sorry.
Not sure, he is amazing in an unexpected way, like to seeif Mozart agrees with musically? I do, but....
1:15 O_O scary!
@TheMmesser can't agree with you anymore : )
@maxhansendk :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
LOOK FOR ''jascha heifetz plays rondo by mozart'' ...THIS IS AMAZING
Yngwie malmsteen
bir hayfetz değil
Икона
like Sherring. It is very strange to me.
He is really tired..:))Must have drank a lot before doing this recording.))But still a nice interpretaion
He looks stone drunk, lol. But he still plays good with 100 galons of alcohol in his system.
@maxhansendk and you probably think you are..
now to the ugly comment for the violinist you have added the one for me.
probably that's the only thing that makes your day good.
I can understand humor and I've investigated some sources concerning Henryk Szeryng.

Compare with Heifetz............
