Jascha Heifetz Posted by: aimson
Video duration: 393 seconds 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.

Nathan Milstein plays Massenet Meditation Posted by: aimson
Video duration: 240 seconds Milstein has been a favorite violinist of mine since I can remember. His recording of the Bach Chaconne is one of the greatest masterpeices I have ever heard.

Sarasate Plays Sarasate Zigeunerweisen Posted by: aimson
Video duration: 335 seconds 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. Related: classical, music, sarasate, violin, zigeunerweisen |

Nathan Milstein plays Vitali Chaconne Posted by: aimson

Heifetz Plays Mozart conc. #5 (2nd mov.) Posted by: aimson
Video duration: 646 seconds 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.

Jascha Heifetz plays Tchaikovsky Serenade Melancolique Posted by: aimson
Video duration: 407 seconds Very romantic and beautiful, just the way the piece should be played. It is also a very sad one and Heifetz truly does make the violin cry when it has to.
