Jascha Heifetz plays Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto: 1st mov.

Back


Jascha Heifetz plays Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35: I. Allegro moderato

*NOTE: This was from a movie, so Heifetz skips a LOT of the first movement due to time constraints. He skips nearly half of the piece, and so does the orchestra.

So please don't ask for second or third movements because I do not have them.


You also get to see a bit of Heifetz acting at the end. A great treat!

Conductor: Fritz Reiner


This is my favorite rendition of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto. I think Heifetz played a bit faster than in his recording.

sure, you need a great mind to idealize the notes, but how did you think Tchaikovsky wrote this piece? By improvising? No, he rewrites his music, unlike mozart, where he hardly corrects. Tchaikovsky wrote this piece from what he learned, then he forced upon other players to bring their perspective of emotion. Every person has different views. It is still a piece of scale, and because he plays his own variations, thus creating his OWN emotions, not Tchaikovsky's.

besides, if it were not personal emotions, how would you describe one's ability to stop playing momentarily, while others play in during that part, i.e. heifetz's solo. Some people would play during a period of time within the solo, while others may pause. It's your own development of emotion. Im not saying that Tchaikovsky wrote this piece without thinking, but one himself creates emotion that is at least 60 percent of the whole piece.

personally i think Oistrakh's version better... i think heifetz loses some of the emotion in this piece by playing it fast, though of course it takes much more skill...

I just finished watching both and I agree.
Oistrakh's is version better...definitely more emotional.

Listen to Heifet'z 1957 recording with Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, it's much better than this video, and in my opinion, the best recording of the Tchaikovsky violin concerto ever made.

for me it's draw deciding whether i like heifetz or oistrakh's tchaikovsky better.
