What are you guys talking about?! His tone is amazing. The orchestra needs to play softer....

Listen to Anne-Sophie Mutter, Anne Akiko Meyers, Suwanai, Sarah Chang, Hahn's and many other women's versions and your teacher will be right once again. Women just give this piece the emotional quality it warrants. I don't know why!

His technique is really good obviously, but I agree that he is getting a little over powered by the orchestra. I really like Akiko Suwanai's version, though this reminds me of hers without as much volume.

I listened to Hassid's rendition and he was fantastic, too bad he died so young of a very debilitating disease. I worked with that population and I can attest that it is debiltating but unfortunately he did not live to see the time when he would have benefited from the new medications. But, we are very lucky to be able to have ppl who are into this typed of music and appreciate it and post such great music so the rest of us can also enjoy.

chazzunusmaven-Listen to his rendition of Achron-Hebrew melody! He will blow you away on that one.If he does or does not-then listen to it with Hassid playing. They along with Heifetz rule supreme. |
