Esse violinista Stern serviu de inspiração para muitos violinistas até nos dias de hoje. Um som tocado com o sentimento puro da alma. Simplesmente incrível. Lindo demais.
Один із найгеніальніших скрипалів 20го століття нарівні з Хайфецем,Мільштайном,Менухіним,Ойстрахом,Франческатті,Крайслером,Ізаї,Сарасате,Енеску,Коганом, Річчі...
We see Stern here, back in the day, the sixties, when Time Magazine put Isaac Stern, Leonid Kogan, Jascha Heifetz, Nathan Milstein, Zino Francescatti, and David Oistrakh on their cover, with photos, and unequivocally proclaimed them the best living World Class violinists. (Some may think others deserve inclusion, and debate whether Francescatti was in their class.) Here you see why Stern deserved to be in their class. Unlike a Vengerov, Kavakos or Hilary Hahn today, no breathtaking playing of Erlkonig by Ernst or the repertoire requiring stratospheric technique.--Just amazing sound, true depth of feeling in the adagio, and raw passion. I sometimes see comments where people question how great was Stern. Well, for a few brief years, he truly was. Did he coast on his reputation in later decades, I think so. But as a Statesman for Carnegie Hall, a sponsor for young musicians, and as an articulate spokesman and tireless advocate for the arts, I think he led a life of exemplary accomplishment.
I totally agree. I have a feeling the young present day violinists have nothing to say.Its just fireworks that are great in the moment but on the way home one feels empty.. This was different back then when Stern or Oistrahk played..
Was one of the greats-yes, he 'coasted' the last part of his career but still was a GREAT musician. Somewhat towards his end of career...I played the Beethoven VLN Concerto with him, the intonation was VERY suspect but the incredible phrasing....was unlike ANYONE could achieve. I tend to forgive the intonation issues when the actual music making is THAT high....
Some posters here mentioning how his intonation was "suspect" in his later years - but it's always been tentative like here where he always seems to sound a bit too sharp.......
Sublime sound and so free tempo, magic ritardandi. When individual agogic was still a thing… what an amazing generation of musicians!

I grew up with this recording on tape. I never knew there was a video. Great rendition.

Francescatti had much higher standards than Isaac Stern: he respected his public until the end.
I totally agree.

Get off the stage, Hilary Hahn and all of those young wonder-fiddlers! This is what it is to play with real emotion and a deep musical conception.
