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.
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".
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".
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.
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.
This clip introduces David Oistrakh, who took his place amongst giants such as Heifetz and Milstein as one of the greatest contemporary violinists of all time. Clips of the Sibelius and 1st Shostakovich vks are shown, as well as an orchestral version of Rachmaninov's Prelude in Bb, with Kondrashin directing. You might also catch glimpse of yet another great Soviet violinist, Leonid Kogan.
