Well, sorry for another audio clip (bastards took down some of my video clips), but this one is especially worth listening to. The great master himself playing on the guitar.
I really like Bell's old recordings, particularly this gem. I don't know the exact point in which he started to stink but this recording is definitely before then! Again, no video here, which is actually nice since Bell is hideous to watch (I know this from experience)
Rare audio clip of the great Pablo Sarasate performing his piece Zigeunerweisen. Keep in mind that this was recorded around 1904, so the quality isn't perfect. Also, the slow movement was left out, probably due to time constraints.
This is one of the most inspirational recordings I have ever heard (along with Milstein's Devil's Trill) and is one of my most favorite peices to play. It's a shame it's not played more often :(
Enesco is perhaps the most underrated violinist in all of history (probably because he was more famous as a teacher). When my teacher first heard this recording he became obssessed and made every one of his students listen to Enesco 5 times a day. Good advice :)
For those of you who don't know who Ginette Neveu was, she was the 16 year old who beat out David Oistrakh to win the Wieniawski Competition in 1935. Oistrakh was 27 years old at the time.
Stern is not one of my favorite violinists (lacks imagination often times). However, this is definitely one of my favorite recordings of the Tzigane (Stern also has a great Lalo too). Full of life and passion, just what I love hearing from a violinist.
Only uploading this because it was requested a couple times. Quite a nice recording I think. Special thanks to gawgul for sending me this recording (hope it's okay with him).
Rare footage of Heifetz at the height of his career. This is the introduction to the "Heifetz & Piatigorsky" DVD produced by KULTUR. Most of the Heifetz footage from that DVD (Paganini Caprice, Wieniawski, etc.) have already been posted so this is for those who are really interested in learning more about this great violinist.
This is the reason why Heifetz is my favorite violinist and why I don't listen to anybody who doesn't appreciate his incredible beauty and musicianship. As soon as his fingers hit the board I start tearing up. Nobody will ever be able to take that experience away from me.
Somebody requested to hear Milstein playing the third partita so I thought I would post it. This contains the first 3 movements. Sorry, no video again.
This is Fritz Kreisler playing his own peice Liebeslied (sorry I don't have a video). I am in love with Kreisler's sound. His playing is so romantic, elegant, and beautiful that he must be regarded as one of the great violinists of all time. Plus, who can argue with a violinist who wrote the damn peice in the first place?
Franco Gulli is one of the most famous violin teachers in the country and studied under Joseph Gingold. It's a shame Gulli never cared about a solo career because his playing is absolutely top notch.
