- Vasa Prihoda was a Czech violinist born on August 22,1900. His father, Alois Prihoda, was his first teacher and remained so for ten years. Afterward, Prihoda attended the Prague Conservatory, where he studied with Marak (who himself studied with Otakar Sevcik.) He graduated in 1912 and gave his first public performance playing Mozarts fourth violin concerto (D Major.) Most violinists choose Brahms, Mendelssohn, or Paganini for a debut, but not Prihoda. It has been said that Toscanini discovered him playing in a Café (Grande Italia) in Milan, Italy, on December 27, 1919. Prihoda is remembered for his prodigious technique (which included exceptionally clear articulation), his ease in playing Paganini showpieces. After the war, Prihoda was censured by the Czech government because he did not boycott any of the German-occupied territories during the war. Prihoda concertized extensively all over the world and made a number of recordings when the industry was in its infancy. Unfortunately, some of his recordings were not well-produced so the sound quality is poor. He played in the U.S. many times and was greatly admired for his style, dazzling technique, and finesse. Critics have suggested that Heifetz was jealous of him. Vienna was his base of operations for many years though he taught in Prague, Munich, and Salzburg as well. After 1950, he dedicated most of his time to teaching and he also composed small chamber works which are no longer played. Prihoda also composed his own cadenzas to all the concertos he played. He gave his last concerts in April, 1960 and died (of heart disease) on July 26, 1960. There are many recordings and amazing videos of his posted on RUclips
A very rare virtuoso musician! Virtuoso violinists are common, but virtuoso musicians are truly the gems we seek!
Uncanny. The man has no ceiling whatsoever. Flawless intonation, phenomenal bowing, incomparable versatility and facility, to name a few points. After hearing some of his recordings, it becomes clear to me that VASA PRIHODA is/was the most gifted violinist we have ever seen in this century. His musicianship and musicality is far beyond the scale of his contemporaries. Genius.
Bravissimo!!!
Блестящее исполнение, великий скрипач!
Amazing
I don't want to take anything away from Ricci but... This is more brilliant and spectacular.
Thank you for the wonderful recording altogether the information and fotos !
Absolutely amazing, he get the voice-theme out of the technical difficult, which bring us to a lyric-virtuoso piece more than a simple show of violin technic
The ne plus ultra of violinists
This most technically difficult of pieces in the repetoire is magnificently played by Prihoda. Its draconian demands are easily met by the violinist. It can be played as a technical tour de force or as a beautiful theme and variations of great originality and aesthetic experience. Kogan's version is still, for me, the ideal version of this composition but, I'm sure there are many other comments and opinions on this subject.
I found it comfortable to listen to.
lol
Grandioso,magnifico
HAD HE CHANGED HIS NAME TO SOMETHING LIKE JIM HOYLE, HE WOULD HAVE BECOME A LOT MORE FAMOUS. TECHNICALLY, HE WAS AS GOOD AS IT GETS.
which remastered is this
Die Bilder sind zum großen Teil bei PODIUM geklaut.
you should listen to dmitri mahktin's version. personally I prefer his interpretation over kogan's. It's always fun to hear the different ways people play this piece.
I realize that one does not say bravo ....that sounds dumb...
