He was mainly a violinist but he did compose small pieces, however many other well known violinists like Heifetz and Stern only played but never composed their own pieces.
I'm addicted to this sound of his the moment I listened to it... the slidings are truly enchanting it is said that Kreisler loves to tell stories... I can feel his personality from this
Well, folks . . . foul-mouthed, tattooed, ignoramous "Rock Stars" think they're hot stuff today (look at all the recent wailing over this dead druggie, Winehouse), but Kreisler had an International fan base 100 years ago! After his death, his wife related something revealing he'd once said: "You know, if I had just practiced more, I could have been a GREAT violinist!"

MrGary164 Well, while you can appreciate good classic music, you can't mock "Foul rock stars" just cause it's not yours taste. Styles change, genres born, people like new things. Can't stay in the past and reject everything new, right?
You sound like an old fart. Believe it or not, it is possible to like more than one idiom of music, or is that too much for your little fragile worldview. Quit gatekeeping, people like you give real musicians a bad name
there are many versions on this piece, however, Kreisler himself did not bring the life of this composition. I personally prefer Heifeitz; or the more recent David Garrett version.
You can prefer whoever you like, but of course Kreisler understands and interprets his own piece better than anyone else. Some are more virtuosic but none capture the Viennese charm for which Kreisler was so famous.
+Frank Pam Sorry to disagree. He was a talented composer, but his interpretation does not depend on his understanding of his own piece, but on his talent as an interpreter, and I find David Garrett's interpretation to be way better.
***** That is actually nonsense. Of course his understanding of his own piece is vital and he was a superb interpreter of this style of Viennese music. But there is no point in arguing about taste. If you prefer David Garrett that is your right and nothing I say can convince you otherwise. You and connie obviously have a different expectation as to how this piece should be played.
Agreed, on all points above. Once you hear Kreisler play his own lovely little Viennese pieces, no one else compares. Yes, Heifetz is technically phenomenal, as Kreisler was one of the first to emphatically note, but the feeling conveyed by Fritz is incomparable, as many a fine violinist since has admitted. (And as for David Garrett, honestly -- the less said the better.)
Give me a break: Rachmaninoff placed Kreisler above Jascha Heifetz, let alone Maxim who has wonderful technique, but he does not have that Viennese posh saloon style of playing with amazing portamentos.
There are several versions of Kreisler. That one is a late one. Vengerov is good, but younger Kreisler 's versions, he does not reach that level at all. Vengerov is also quite inferior to David Oistrach entire legacy. You cannot compare him to giants such as Heifetz, Kreisler, Oistrach or Kogan.
@@musicclassic5938 Even Heifetz put Kreisler above him. This is a late version. Kreisler is old. Vengerov or any other never played that masterpiece better than Kreisler himself. The earlier versions show Kreisler in full command.
Twoset introduced me to this fantastic piece
hinatadreamer sameee
Sammeee its one of my favorites now
LING LING Wanabee!
Same :)
For some reason, I'm surprised how good the quality is.
Agreed, for 1936 it's excellent - good to 15 kHz, and no discernible surface noise.
*kreisler plays kreisler*
jeje
When you’re alone on valentine’s
Ok...?
he played himself
Violinception
Not many composers play their own songs, this makes it unique
He was mainly a violinist but he did compose small pieces, however many other well known violinists like Heifetz and Stern only played but never composed their own pieces.
He's a virtuoso composer.
I think it's mostly because they lived before recording existed...
*IT'S A PIECE INTENSIFIES*
@@icebaby6714 i mean Heifetz arranged a lot of pieces tho
No one plays Kreisler like Kreisler!🎻
So true - Kreisler is my favorite🎻🎶💯✨
No one even can play, after him) but mabe 2 men allready dead.
If you think this is slow, well this is how it should be played. Because Kreisler wrote this piece, so you should not complain that it is slow.
I'm addicted to this sound of his the moment I listened to it...
the slidings are truly enchanting
it is said that Kreisler loves to tell stories... I can feel his personality from this
congratulations, you played yourself
What a sweet sound! No other violinist has such articulation as Kreisler.
Lovely and delicate. Too many people play this as if they’re playing Bartok! I love the Turkish sounding middle section.
Still the greatest! Nobody has ever achieved what Kreisler has.
me parece como si fuera una persecución muy divertida de una pareja
awesome!!!! I want the sheet music
wonderful
Amazing
Loving it.
This guy is pretty good he should consider writing music or something
yas
Really Alex....
Why do I feel that I am not very used to his tempo and intonation?
can someone please provide me with a piano only midi or recording c;
Intonation.
You try it
Sorry where is intonation not good? As a professional I can't really find where intonation is such an issue
Intonation on point*.
Yes, intonation that is un heard of these days.❤😊
I prefer the version with orchestra
Qui ose mettre qu'il n'aime pas ? ?????
As exquisite as any DeBussy.....
Dunno' who I love more.

There is absolutely no need to put other types of music down in order to enjoy whatever music you prefer. Let others do as they will!
When Hokusai was at the end of his life he lamented that if he could only have ten more years, he might be a good artist. He was 88.

Frank Pam By the way, don't forget that this is a recording from 1936, so the tone quality doesn't compare to a modern recording.

Not gonna lie but I like christian‘s version more
funny enough maxim vengerov play this piece better than its composer. at least in my opinion. not unheard of but still interesting
Give me a break: Rachmaninoff placed Kreisler above Jascha Heifetz, let alone Maxim who has wonderful technique, but he does not have that Viennese posh saloon style of playing with amazing portamentos.
Totally agree - Vengerov's playing completely owns this
There are several versions of Kreisler. That one is a late one. Vengerov is good, but younger Kreisler 's versions, he does not reach that level at all. Vengerov is also quite inferior to David Oistrach entire legacy. You cannot compare him to giants such as Heifetz, Kreisler, Oistrach or Kogan.

@@marcvilleneuve1889 Cannot agree more and Rachmaninoff agreed with this point too.
