can you play this piece perfectly?

Thank you for putting this here. Mr. Szeryng is a hero of mine from way back. I was lucky enough to hear him once in Boston's Symphony Hall in the '80s (toward the end of his performing career). His renditions of Bach's solo partitas and sonatas ARE the standard to aspire to. Is there anyone else who has made the instrument so much a part of himself? (OK, Perlman did, but in a more fiery way). Thanks again!! (Also he was Polish & as I am partially of Polish extraction that makes me proud. :)

Hi, guys. Is it just my impression, or this video is "tuned" to somewhere A=444? Additionally, as big a fan as I am of H. Szering, I must concede that *this* particular video is not him at his best. But this doesn't mean that we have green light for condescending trash-mouthing about. How I wish I could play as """bad""" as H. S. in this video (not to say anything of his Beethoven Concerto!). So, please, relax and enjoy one of the GREATEST.

This is my favorite performance next to those of Gil Shaham and David Oistrakh. And if you want to see a guy sweat, watch Shaham literally drip sweat onto the violin! This is a nastily hard concerto, and what makes these three stand out is how little they bring attention to themselves, but all the attention to the music.

just because youre all in love with your little red concertoist it doesnt detract from his blatant failure. im surprised stalin even opened the iron curtain on these shenanigans
