Perlman & Zukerman - Handel-Halvorsen: Passacaglia Posted by: cgzH
Video duration: 420 seconds 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.

Video duration: 594 seconds 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 ;) Related: camille, capriccioso, heifetz, introduction, jascha, rondo, saens, saint, violin |
