I think the way Vladim Gluzman described the sound of his Stradivarius is just perfect! It really sounds amazing, and it was a pleasure to listen to him playing it :)
Ysaye was the concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic. I wonder if he had that bow back then. My grandpa heard Szeryng play in Mexico City years ago (Beethoven and Bach) - did he use that bow? Who knows? I heard Vadim in a rehearsal years ago. He was playing the Barber concerto and the orchestra had a little trouble in the third movement so the conductor asked if Vadim could accommodate the orchestra for a little while and play it at half speed with the orchestra to get things sorted out and he did - he didn't have to but he did. During the time Ysaye was the conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony, he met his second wife (whom he later married) - he was 66 and she was 22.
13:14 - yes, that was very interesting! If these posts weren't from a previous violinist (like Auer!) but were instead Gluzman's previous soundposts.... then it's a little bit like he's showing us his diet from "another time" hehe.
A rare match with a Peccatte and a Strad! Mr Gluzman must have a sort of ... "capriciousness" to his physical playing style in order to make both a fine violin and fine bow work together!
Super cool! I love it! Thanks so much for taking the time to share!

It doesn't sound better than any modern master built instrument
Loving this interview. What great thoughts and stories!
Thank you for watching!

This is amazing content!
So cool
He’s very fortunate to have these treasures at his disposal, but then he is a worthy artist who deserves to use them. What strings does he use?
Used to be Dominant heavy for years, now Peter Infeld..
My teacher at the Royal College of music in the 1970s owned a Strand that belonged to Auer. I wonder if it’s the same one.
Fascinating, it sounds entirely possible!
Leopold Auer had this Strad (1690) and also had another Strad (Duke of Cambridge; ex-Pierre Rode) 1715.
Léopold auer’s Strad… nice
Right??
that is so spooky... 6:35

No!
Here’s an interesting thread on the topic of the translation-
