What a gem! Keep posting these comparison recordings! Love it! Love this channel. You are doing a great service to the world for keeping these legendary violinists alive and sharing them for everyone to enjoy. A lot of the older recordings seem to be hidden and not available, especially some of the smaller pieces. As a concert violinist myself, these videos are just everything to me, and I know I’m not the only one! Thanks!🙏
I certainly appreciate your comments. I put recorded violinists into 3 main categories. Those who recorded in the 1930s and before. With few exceptions, they all seem to be incredible. Then there is the middle or transition period from the 40s to the 60s. They almost always have a less good tone, less rhythmic command, and slightly, or not so slightly, less ability to play in keys. After that, the Galamian, Post-30s Heifetz, and Stern effects ruined violin playing each in his own way. My brother went to Julliard in the early 60s and studied with Persinger until his death and absolutely loved him. He told me that if you lined up Galamian/Delay students behind a curtain that they all sounded the same except for their physical abilities, whereas Persinger students all had their own style. Heifetz introduced the idea of excitement over subtlety and Stern became the king-maker, heavily influencing who gained a career as a soloist. Today's soloists generally have a pressed, ugly sound with no or little character. It is getting harder to find "new" older violinists or more pieces they recorded because I have mined static sources like CHARM and LOC (Library of Congress) and blogs with that type of material are disappearing. I will definitely keep doing comparisons. BTW I was also a professional violinist until an accident in 2000 left me a quadriplegic. The good thing about that is that, not being able to play, I started collecting recordings and now I have a very large library. Thank you for listening.
Son distintos estilos de ejecución Kreisler más romántico con sus rubatos característicos, Rose más serio y reposado, y el joven Heifetz con una ejecución elegante pero moderna. Creo que las grabaciones son de finales de los años 20 y principios de los 30 . Los tres violinistas fueron grandes virtuosos.
Love rose's rendition!
Rose gives us the older 19th century attitude towards vibrato, as a device used to intensify, the exception and not the rule - and then along came Fritz...Ironically, pervasive vibrato is felt to be "19th century", but it is not.
I love both styles. Thank you for listening.
what joy in these hard times
Actually, those were worse times for humans in the Western world. Of course, now is a much worse time for what we have done to earth setting it up to come back to bite us. Thank you for commenting.
Lovely playlist :-)
Thank you for that and thank you for listening.
The difference in the sound quality of these 3 recordings does not allow for fair comparison....
One has to learn how to listen through less-than-perfect recordings to be able to hear as much as possible. There are recordings that are impossible to listen to but those are rare.
The most humanly rendition is Kreisler!
