I talked to that pianist once--he was really old and playing some trios at a college. Asked him what it was like working with Heifetz. He paused and laughed: "Really difficult. He knew and could play the piano parts better than I could."
Chelsea Janssen Deliva Yeah, but you should check out kavakos’ left hand pizzes on that same piece, they are the most incredible left hand pizzes I’ve ever seen !
Amit kumar we get it, you watch 2 set like everyone else. but he definitely fucked up like 7 times. also it sounds more clear because the audio is heavily compressed. not much of a high quality audio signal at the time.
@@billyt8868 I don't understand what u are trying to say. All I m saying is he did an excellent job performing this. I dont think there's any other performance of this piece which can match this level.
Billy T thank you for your comment. You reminded me why I never read comments on RUclips videos. I broke my rule and was rewarded by your inane comment. Never again.
You can do both dude and don't bury your first choice. Just take music course as your hobby and keep learning the things you want to learn. I can say this is carrier reserve, so if you want to get more benefit you can use your skill that you've learn before.
This is the peak my friend. It is revolting to see how a single individual can achieve this but we must understand this is a journey that starts before anyone can see how. Let’s enjoy and appreciate what these extraordinary people left. Practicing 40+ hours a day is fine if you have the nature of a monk but it will unlikely make you Heifetz
*After hearing the young Heifetz play Paganini's "Moto Perpetuo" flawlessly on another occasion, Leopold Auer, who taught both Heifetz and Elman in St. Petersburg, Russia, said, "He doesn't even realize that it cannot be played that fast."*
every single detail is just perfect. Cannot find a single violinist that has this level of abosolute control over each tinniest motion. It's just accurate, accurate, and accurate. Really impressive.
Julia Fisher ? Listen to her playin Tchaïkovski, it's almost perfect ! Hilary Hahn or Sarah Chang maybe (Chang's version of Paganini's first concerto is beautiful, and she was only 15 when she played it)
I'm not a violonist (I'm a pianist), but I can understand and appreciate Mr. Jascha Heifetz's great interpretation of this beautiful caprice! Thank you for sharing this treasure!
8 years.... 8 years ago I saw this video and I wanted to learn to play the violin (no one asked me but I am currently 17), before that I was not interested in music and much less in wanting to learn to play an instrument, it was a rather naughty boy and well, on a boring morning I picked up my brother's phone and started watching his videos and found this downloaded video, I saw it and was shocked... that incredible astonishment of a child when he sees and hears something new scored so far. when I feel unmotivated or just bad, I return to this video, thank you very much for uploading it.
@@bren3750 yes it IS a good thing ALL THE TIME some notes have vibrato and the rest have a "VIBRANCY" a vibrato that isn't wide enough to actually leave the note THAT IS A MUST THAT IS THE KEY ALL THE TIME
Fat Boi does that make it any less difficult? Most people who are watching this recording probably already know what the original sounds like. Edit: Also, maybe you didn’t mean anything by it, but when somebody says that something is difficult, especially a piece of music, your first response should not be, “it’s not that hard.” Just be supportive and encourage people to keep practicing no matter how difficult the piece is. Saying, “it’s not that hard” comes off as really douchey, and generally makes you sound like an asshole.
As a person with no musical training, it is still evident almost immediately into the recording how skilled Heifetz is compared other violinists.. This rendition is simply amazing.
I watched a lot of caprice 24, played by modern day prodigies and fantastic violinists, including Hillary hanh. I’m sorry but this is the best version I have seen. It’s both the skill and the ease, relaxed approach of his play, and also his interpretation. Simply superb. ❤
Yes that note is amazing! I've heard David Oistrakh playing the same high note but of course more raw, their styles are quite different. Heifetz is like polished diamond
Thank you for pointing this out! ❤ His change of hand and finger position is so fast, I can't follow it with my eyes, even after five times watching that moment. Just amazing.

I just watched a very good (and worthwhile) rendition of this by Tedi Papavrami and thought of how much I enjoyed it. I thought I'd check back in to Heifetz for contrast. Holy shit. Maybe I shouldn't have... His musicianship is absolutely unparalleled - the most emotionally intense recording of the 24th I've ever heard. NOBODY played more beautifully than Heifetz. He had a presence unlike any I've seen before (except perhaps by Neveu).
I don't know if my sense of emotional intensity in music is off, but at the very least I think I find Hilary Hahn's technical playing of this piece to be preferable to me. Perhaps Heifetz had more passion in his playing, I suppose that is up for interpretation. Some of the quality could be lost in the quality of this old recording, who knows. Either way he was an unmitigated genius. Perhaps I just want to feel that the time of greatness hasn't passed and we still walk among giants. Many people seem to feel that older is always better and everything we have today pales in comparison, in more areas than just classical music.
Heifetz is the master violinist. A marvelous performance. The child prodigies referred to are not capable of playing like this, nor are some of the 20-year old wunderkind. There is a difference in playing "the notes" and playing "the musical phrases and 'glisses' " with gusto, feeling, velocity, endurance, and accuracy. Thanks, newsreelarchive.
Que tal maestría, ningún otro violinista que he escuchado interpretar esta pieza musical, ha logrado la perfección con que Jascha Heifetz lo lograba, excelente video , excelente música y excelente inerprete.
What I found especially interesting was the sheer beauty of the piece as performed. It was less a display of virtuosity--which of course it was as well--but a demonstration of the many ways a violin can make beautiful sounds.
I first came across this piece in a movie about Paganini and was so blown away I thought I had discovered the greatest thing outside Liszt. Then I saw Markov’s performance and figured it couldn’t get any better. But then this came across my recommendations. Speechless! What an amazing and flawless performance made to seem effortless and such a smooth rendition! Bravo!
heifetz is the real legend.i see is bowing mechanics and how he moves his arm with the rythm.this is so unique he even made his own russian type bow hold but its modified
Eu concordo com você, Heiftz era perfeito em todos os fundamentos em tocar o violino, e ele não usava espaleira que dificultava muito em segurar o violino no queixo. Para mim depois de Paganini ele foi o melhor.
This was a great man as well as the preeminent violinist of the 20th century.His many charitable works and great efforts in teaching young promising violinists attests to the quality of an individual he was. He was a shooting star ,lighting up the musical sky. A once in a century talent.
Thanks maestro, music can be performed and fell in many different ways, the pulse, the understanding of phrasing, the soul in every variation, that's our Heifetz
One of my all-time favorite videos. I do believe that the audio for this was recorded separately from the film, which was synced (not that this diminishes the maestro's playing in any way... in fact I cant imagine dubbing something so perfectly!) Best part: 5:55, "a plane to catch in 20 minutes", yeah maybe he had a chance in 1950!
Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini has been my favorite classical piece of all time (indeed, favorite piece of any genre) , ever since I first heard it as a university student in the 1980’s. Until now I had never heard Paganini’s original, nor did I realize that the original itself was multiple variations on a theme. Brilliant :)
Can we take a second to appreciate variation 10? He's the only person I've ever seen do it with artificial harmonics instead of shifting to high positions, and he absolutely killed it!
What he does from 0:30 to 0:50 is just amazing. What amazing technique and bow control. It seems as though his bow is bouncing without any visible motion from the arm or wrist. And the left hand pizzicato what power, only masters can project that to the ends of the hall.
I am not a violin afficionado(however i can see myself becoming one)but this is obviously genius level playing, it's the first time i have seen a violin player play a piece that makes such a heavy use of the vibrato and ligado pretty cool indeed. I get the impression that this piece of music started out as an technical exercise.
Wow. Just wow. This is as good as it gets. The precision of all of the various techniques is stunning. The glissando - reminds me of my reaction to hearing Art Tatum for the first time.

The way that the low octaves are played so smoothly and the vibrato...makes me wanna cry
Que tal maestría, ningún otro violinista que he escuchado interpretar esta pieza musical, ha logrado la perfección con que Jascha Heifetz lo lograba, excelente video , excelente música y excelente inerprete.
I feel like that every time I hear Heifetz play, yes.
No one can be more skillful than him.
It just like a magic......how can a person playing violin like him.
What I found especially interesting was the sheer beauty of the piece as performed. It was less a display of virtuosity--which of course it was as well--but a demonstration of the many ways a violin can make beautiful sounds.
Jascha Heifetz: the undisputed and unequaled violin virtuoso of the 20th century, period.
Thank you for posting! Had never seen this with such picture clarity!
I first came across this piece in a movie about Paganini and was so blown away I thought I had discovered the greatest thing outside Liszt. Then I saw Markov’s performance and figured it couldn’t get any better. But then this came across my recommendations. Speechless! What an amazing and flawless performance made to seem effortless and such a smooth rendition! Bravo!
heifetz is the real legend.i see is bowing mechanics and how he moves his arm with the rythm.this is so unique he even made his own russian type bow hold but its modified
Mr.Heifetz Is the world best violinist! nobody can be gooder then Him!
Josef Hassid was a better violinist.
Kogan the best
Best interpretation of this caprice ever made!
I am grateful to anyone who aided this video to be put on RUclips .
So much history. I have heard the name of Hei
Esse foi sem dúvida o maior violinista pós Paganini....
Eu concordo com você, Heiftz era perfeito em todos os fundamentos em tocar o violino, e ele não usava espaleira que dificultava muito em segurar o violino no queixo.
Para mim depois de Paganini ele foi o melhor.
That left hand pizzicato and harmonics are just pure butter 👌🔥
The best interpretation I've seen !
This was a great man as well as the preeminent violinist of the 20th century.His many charitable works and great efforts in teaching young promising violinists attests to the quality of an individual he was.
He was a shooting star ,lighting up the musical sky. A once in a century talent.
A man like Heifetz comes around maybe every 500 years?
바알못이라 처음 이 영상을 봤을땐 음 잘하네. 그런데 댓글들이 그렇게 칭송할 수준인가? 했다. 그런데 많은 연주자들의 카프리스24 연주를 듣고 보니 이 연주는 말그대로 완벽이고, 그는 천상의 연주자라는 말 밖에 표현할 방법이 없음을 알게 되었다.

좀 잘하네 수준이 아닌거 같은데 ㅋㅋ
Thanks maestro, music can be performed and fell in many different ways, the pulse, the understanding of phrasing, the soul in every variation, that's our Heifetz
"Thomas has never seen such violinist"
It was time for Thomas to leave
One of my all-time favorite videos. I do believe that the audio for this was recorded separately from the film, which was synced (not that this diminishes the maestro's playing in any way... in fact I cant imagine dubbing something so perfectly!) Best part: 5:55, "a plane to catch in 20 minutes", yeah maybe he had a chance in 1950!
Yes ... Paganini one of my favorites
Straordinario, eccezionale, commovente ad ogni ascolto!! ❤️
Too perfect to be real! I LOVE heifetz
Goosebumps from beginning to end. Flawless, superb, simply magnificent.
The Master of Masters
Never ceases to amaze me. The more I watch this epicness themore stunned I get.
The greatest virtuoso since Paganini
Wow! the quality of this video is spectacular. it's better than most people's phone videos.
He's so fast his hands have motion blur in the thumbnail!
Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini has been my favorite classical piece of all time (indeed, favorite piece of any genre) , ever since I first heard it as a university student in the 1980’s. Until now I had never heard Paganini’s original, nor did I realize that the original itself was multiple variations on a theme. Brilliant :)

Yo Jascha! If you can play in this speed then you can play it quickly

Simply the greatest musician that has ever lived!!! Dude no one even comes close!!!!
Check out Roman Kim.
Paganini?
No other violinist is able to make this piece so musical. This man was sent from heaven.
Kogan
Thanks for this chanel. I was finished my studies about violin professional, here. With simplicity. Evandro Dabbronzo.
oh my god those false harmonics at 4:14 are so perfect
4:22 the vibrato was just incredible!!
Wow, skill, technique, and nuanced feeling. Amazing.
despite the quality of the video, sound is so clear. Wonderful masterpiece
The best violinist of all times. Well, we will never know how Paganini himself played.
Can we take a second to appreciate variation 10? He's the only person I've ever seen do it with artificial harmonics instead of shifting to high positions, and he absolutely killed it!
He had an amazing bow technique.
Phenomenal!! ...amazing focus
My favorit caprice! :)
Henny you spelled favorite wrong lol
What he does from 0:30 to 0:50 is just amazing. What amazing technique and bow control. It seems as though his bow is bouncing without any visible motion from the arm or wrist. And the left hand pizzicato what power, only masters can project that to the ends of the hall.
Such masterful playing. One of the Linglings of this world.
I am not a violin afficionado(however i can see myself becoming one)but this is obviously genius level playing, it's the first time i have seen a violin player play a piece that makes such a heavy use of the vibrato and ligado pretty cool indeed. I get the impression that this piece of music started out as an technical exercise.
Perfect intonation, perfect elbow angle, perfect wrist flexibility, uh perfect everything?
Великaя музыкa в исполнении тaлaнтливого человекa!!! Пaгaнини гений!
Wow. Just wow. This is as good as it gets. The precision of all of the various techniques is stunning. The glissando - reminds me of my reaction to hearing Art Tatum for the first time.
