thom Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Depends on the piece. For Bach, I like Szeryng. For Beethoven, Oistrakh. For Mozart, Szymon Goldberg. For other pieces, other soloists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron MacDonald Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I admire all of them but for me two great individualists stand out: Joseph Szigeti and Alfredo Campoli. Everything about them is unique: their sound, their musicianship, their technique and to some extent, their repertoire. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erika Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I appreciate most fine players, but I think Zino Francescatti was something special. He always had something to say (musically). Of the younger generation, I enjoy Phillippe Quint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie Brown Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 TODAY I researched another favorite recording from my youth. At twenty-three, I was wearing out library records on a plastic foldout player. I liked to sit or lie on the floor right in front of it, to get the "stereo" effect. One night not long ago I heard an interview with a jazz expert, who stated that kids today have too many recordings. It seems that the type of listening I did as a youngster is in the early life of nearly every successful jazzer. When they get ahold of something they like, these kids listen like mad, until they know exactly what it is they're hearing. Until this evening I was puzzled by my long-ago choice for a Bruch recording. Now I see that I was and am in extremely good company.

Marie Brown Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Here's the one from yesterday. I wonder where the violinist in this recording is now. The performance gives me a sensation like the one I had when I first heard this Josef Suk recording of the Dvorak Romance. I was driving east on 80 through Pennsylvania on a clear day in April, cold sober, and suddenly everything was PERFECT. No clips? Take my word for it, your money will be well spent.

DR. S Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 So many great violinists and so many great performances, but the one who has just always been the standard for me is Perlman. He just did it for so long, so well, so effortlessly. Many discount him because his interpretations became standards that everyone emmulated, so they don't seem fresh perhaps to today's ears. But there is no weakness in his playing. Sound, precision, passion, finesse, the closest thing to perfection. There were rare occasions that he just got worn out and slipped a bit, but it was always temporary. But, as I said, I enjoy so many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andres Sender Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Rachel Podger. I wish there were others, but they all tend to slide out of mind for me after they stop playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOW BABE Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 My #1 favorite is Jascha Heifetz. My #2 favorite is ItzhakPerlman. And my #3 favorite is Issac Stern. HEIFETZ & Perlman While listening to a Heifetz recordig as a child, I got "hooked" on the violin! Perlman has such flair and is so expressive in his music!

Bill Merkel Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 This is the best version of this piece ever recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swing Monkey 1 Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 My very favorite violinist, Stephane Grappelli, because he was a creative rather than an interpretive player. Living violinist. Hilary Hahn , Julia Fischer and Roman Kim for classical music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
