Heifetz in his prime, playing Saint-Saens' Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso. From the 1939 movie, "They Shall Have Music". Possibly the best bit of fiddle playing from him I have ever seen. The slow sections reflect his wondrous capability for expression.
I know this has been uploaded, but this is of much better quality, and it's in English ;)
Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman in their youth, playing Handel's Passacaglia, arranged for violin and viola by Halvorsen. Amongst my favouite duets. Although significantly blander than Heifetz's and Primrose's, this performance still remains a classic.
Heifetz in his prime, playing the 3rd movement of the Mendelssohn Vk. And a bit of Tchaikovsky's Melodie from Souvenir d'un lieu cher. From the 1939 movie, "They Shall Have Music".
Phenomenal playing - a definitive rendition of Wieniawski's Scherzo Tarantelle, played by the legendary Jascha Heifetz, accompanied by Emmanuel Bay, from the Video "Portrait of an Artist".
Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman in their youth - rehearsing/jamming before their concert at the Royal College of Music.
Apologies for the poor quality.
Grappelli was amongst the most important pioneers of the jazz violin. Here, at the age of 81, he plays two numbers of Gerswhin in New Orleans, in the year 1989.
Someone To Watch Over Me - and I Got Rhythm. Be sure to check out the latter.
A short clip from the filmed Masterclasses at the University of Southern California, with Heifetz and his pupils.
Student Varoujon Kodijan plays Valle's Ao pe da fogeuria, arranged long ago by Heifetz himself. The latter's own rendition can be found in the first two volumes of the Heifetz Decca Masters.
Christian Ferras, a truly great player whom suffered from depression. He finally took his own life in 1982.
Here, he plays Faure's Berceuse. Soulful and charming playing.
