Henryk Szeryng performing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto: III.Finale: Allegro vivacissimo. Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra accompanying.
He was very calm and played this concerto with great mastery. His tone is very beautiful and doesn’t express the stress rush by many other performers. A true violin master
he's one of the most true violinist i have ever heard. his tone is so beautiful. you should look him up...probably the most underrated violinist from the golden era.
This is from the 1983 Huberman Festival. Zubin Mehta conducts the Israel Philharmonic. Mr Szeryng was well-known for showing great respect to the composer when performing. He does very well here, belying his age (about 66 at the time).
Yes, it is fairly well-known - especially among orchestral players and conductors - that Szeryng drank before concerts. Not to worry - he still played brilliantly. His new website was inaugurated today.
Maestro Szeryng was born in year 1918, so he was 75 years old in this video =.=" We can hardly find any master playing Tchaikovsky at the age of 70++, what a shock! Thanks for uploading this^^
I wonder if you guys ever played solo with a symphony orchestra in a very large hall. If you want to judge Szeryng, you must have heard him live in that hall. He knows perfectly well what he is doing and he was one of the most non-harsh sounding violinists of all times. pppsssssssss, thanks for posting this rare recording. He was underrated because he didn't look for PR like other celebrities. However, those who love him consider him as you said one of the most true violinists, ever.
I simply adore the clarity and noble beauty of the sound he produces, especially in the higher register! To say that this is a bad playing on his part means that you haven't really - I mean REALLY - listened to his interpretation properly. Listen to the flow of the music not to technical details; make no comparisons to other versions - just follow the player and his emotions.
@RENTR0 yeah reaaly nice.I think he wants to give the theme to te celli.I really like to imagine that the celli cannot begin to play unless Szeryng gives them the theme...
What level are all these beautiful and exquisite violin music pieces that I hear on You tube? Like Vivaldi, Bach, Beethoven, Grieg, Tchaikovsky, Bruch, Mendelssohn etc. I really want to play them but I only started learning the violin about a month ago.
not his best. but the really cool part of this performance, the whole treatment of the concerto, is how classical it sounds (as opposed to more modern or romantic playing). not the best use of language on my part, but it lets the raw simplicity of this piece radiate.
This isn't Szering's best playing. If you don't like this video but are feeling like you want to get him a second chance, then you need to watch the videos of him playing the Beethoven Concerto. You Will Not be disappointed.
hmm that's a "G" harmonics that he played around 5:25. His right shoulder is soo high! anyone? and isn't it funny that he starts with almost everything with an upbow? lol
i dont understand why the most part of people don't respect the diferent stiles....this sounds great!...it's look playing not too confortable but...its his way...I'm enjoy it any way!!! :D PD: Sorry my basic basiccccc english
ha! I don't know how to split the first movement into two parts. all the programs i downloaded are "paid" programs so I can't use them...i will gladly upload it if you teach me how! :]
I agree with you. In this piece, his playing was not very neat and I think the girl, Suwanai I think, from the Tchaikovsky competition, had the best interpretation.
Szeryng fue uno de los grandes intérpretes que ha dado el siglo XX, me parecen de muy mal gusto las referencias a su vínculo con el alcohol que se dejan como comentarios a varios de los videos de youtube. Afortunadamente esta clase de solistas ha dejado registro de su talento y poco importan en ese registro los avatares de su vida personal
okay... i don't see the need to belligerently attack people like that. i have an enormous respect for Szeryng. as for my comments about his shoulder, it is pretty high. a lot of people get injured with incorrect posture, don't you agree?
Lol szeryng was probably drunk during this. "Piero Rattalino relates the story of how, having booked Henryk Szeryng for a concert engagement and gone backstage to greet him beforehand, Rattalino twice found the Polish born violinist had been drinking. Rattalino avers that Szeryng "knew how to stop one glass short of disaster" which is fortunate for the reputation of a musician who still, fourteen years after his death, occupies a curious mid-ground between admiration and indifference."
Yes Sir.You are extremly right.But take off yours knowliges and Just listen.And in That Time You,ll not give attencion is He or she (or enybody else)starts Up or Down Bow.Good Luck.
Ok firstly you misread my reference to Americans, which was directed at you - I'm from the UK. Secondly whatever you may erroneously think about my sense of humour, it doesn't extend to cheap jokes about a musician who was a huge inspiration and influence on my approach to the violin and who I regard as one of the greatest fiddlers ever. Yes I'm a pro too...So what? My point is that it was probably his alcoholism that led to his untimely death, and I don't find that funny at all. Do you?
First of all, I want to say that I love Szeryng. His Brahms, tzigane and bach are some of my favorites But this technique in this piece is just sloppy and I feel like his interpretation is a little wack. Or maybe i've been listening to Oistrakh's playing too much and he's just too much of a beast at this piece.
He was very calm and played this concerto with great mastery. His tone is very beautiful and doesn’t express the stress rush by many other performers. A true violin master

He's ~66 in the Video. ( He died 1988 in the age of 70)

His playing sends shivers up my spine. One of my favorite violin concerti.
Tchaikovsky violin concerto is the best violin cencert ever ... !!! Thanks for this brilliant composition !

Mon Maître et mon oncle ensemble. Great !
Marc Tettiravou
Love the slide at 3:06, don't think I've heard it that way before.
perfect !
Great!
Szering also taught violin and had many students, one of whom is the critically acclaimed Canadian Martin Beaver.
what a mood!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!
@RENTR0 yeah reaaly nice.I think he wants to give the theme to te celli.I really like to imagine that the celli cannot begin to play unless Szeryng gives them the theme...

TurboTsunami19 he was fuckin drunk af
hallo
you don't have the first movment?
thanks for 2 movments and all movies
hmm that's a "G" harmonics that he played around 5:25. His right shoulder is soo high! anyone? and isn't it funny that he starts with almost everything with an upbow? lol
i dont understand why the most part of people don't respect the diferent stiles....this sounds great!...it's look playing not too confortable but...its his way...I'm enjoy it any way!!! :D
PD: Sorry my basic basiccccc english
Does someone have the full tchaikovsky concerto played by him at the Huberman festival? Unfortunately It has been deleted.

Not sure, i do know, however, that if you get a director account you can upload videos longer than the average limit.
ha! I don't know how to split the first movement into two parts. all the programs i downloaded are "paid" programs so I can't use them...i will gladly upload it if you teach me how!
:]
imovie?
remember Szering is 65 in this video. Perlman now that he is in his 60s has slipped badly. Nevertheless I still love Itzy.
I agree with you. In this piece, his playing was not very neat and I think the girl, Suwanai I think, from the Tchaikovsky competition, had the best interpretation.

that's how szeryng's posture and violin set-up is.
i don't think you're credible enough to critique him.
okay... i don't see the need to belligerently attack people like that. i have an enormous respect for Szeryng. as for my comments about his shoulder, it is pretty high. a lot of people get injured with incorrect posture, don't you agree?
To all of those haters, this video is pretty damn awesome. However, Oistrakh's version IMHO is much better.
6 to 8 years?!!! Are you serious, you mean that this piece is probably in the diploma/licentiate/fellow level right?
It's odd how he actually got skinnier as he got older, must've been the mexican diet lol
Thumbs up if Lorenzo Silva brought you here
He's missing a note 0.13 - .25. Listen to Oistrakh's and you will know what I mean.
what year was that recording made in?
Lol szeryng was probably drunk during this.

disrespectful?
it was a joke.
szeryng is my favorite violinist.
relax, buddy
Yes Sir.You are extremly right.But take off yours knowliges and Just listen.And in That Time You,ll not give attencion is He or she (or enybody else)starts Up or Down Bow.Good Luck.
This guy's Bach is mind blowing. Too bad Zubin isn't too interested in going his tempo in some spots...
He was a little bit old dude...
depending on how fast you improve, this piece might be up to 6 to 8 years away
Hier wird endlich einmal im richtigen Tempo überzeugend musiziert und nicht herumgehudelt
und Lärm fabriziert.

he is more drunk than usual in this video, no?
How horribly cruel, no first movement =[
First of all, I want to say that I love Szeryng.
His Brahms, tzigane and bach are some of my favorites
But this technique in this piece is just sloppy and I feel like his interpretation is a little wack.
Or maybe i've been listening to Oistrakh's playing too much and he's just too much of a beast at this piece.
cant he play the concerto? it sounds too hard for him! terrible!
with all respect, I should say I don't like this guy(the soloist) for some reason! I don't like his phrasing and I think he scratches a lot too.
