Nathan Milstein plays Massenet Meditation Posted by: aimson
Video duration: 240 seconds Milstein has been a favorite violinist of mine since I can remember. His recording of the Bach Chaconne is one of the greatest masterpeices I have ever heard. This recording has not been heard that much I think so enjoy! Related: classical, massenet, meditation, milstein, music, nathan, violin |

Jascha Heifetz Posted by: aimson
Video duration: 393 seconds Rare footage of Heifetz at the height of his career. This is the introduction to the "Heifetz & Piatigorsky" DVD produced by KULTUR. Most of the Heifetz footage from that DVD (Paganini Caprice, Wieniawski, etc.) have already been posted so this is for those who are really interested in learning more about this great violinist.

George Enesco plays Corelli Sonata Posted by: aimson
Video duration: 533 seconds Enesco is perhaps the most underrated violinist in all of history (probably because he was more famous as a teacher). When my teacher first heard this recording he became obssessed and made every one of his students listen to Enesco 5 times a day. Good advice :) Related: classical, corelli, enesco, george, music, sonata, violin |

Video duration: 526 seconds Out of the hundreds and thousands of different classical recordings I have heard in my lifetime, I can safely say this is one of my favorites.

Part 1: First Movement Related: cello, classical, greatest, heifetz, music, piano, piatigorsky, rubinstein, tchaikovsky, trio, violin |

Kreisler plays Kreisler-Liebesleid Posted by: aimson
Video duration: 206 seconds This is Fritz Kreisler playing his own peice Liebeslied (sorry I don't have a video). I am in love with Kreisler's sound. His playing is so romantic, elegant, and beautiful that he must be regarded as one of the great violinists of all time. Plus, who can argue with a violinist who wrote the damn peice in the first place? Related: classical, fritz, kreisler, liebesleid, music, violin |

Sarasate Plays Sarasate Zigeunerweisen Posted by: aimson
Video duration: 335 seconds Rare audio clip of the great Pablo Sarasate performing his piece Zigeunerweisen. Keep in mind that this was recorded around 1904, so the quality isn't perfect. Also, the slow movement was left out, probably due to time constraints. Related: classical, music, sarasate, violin, zigeunerweisen |

Heifetz Plays Mozart conc. #5 (2nd mov.) Posted by: aimson
Video duration: 646 seconds This is the reason why Heifetz is my favorite violinist and why I don't listen to anybody who doesn't appreciate his incredible beauty and musicianship.
