If you ever heard him in person, he had amazing projection, his sound just effortlessly filled the hall without sounding forced. Yes, there are other great versions of Brahms, but Henryk always sounds so, well, "satisfying" and for lack of a better word. He's always the perfect violinist for whatever mood you are in, unlike some other greats, and he never lets you down. This is why he has diehard fans.
Beautifully put. And so true. I knew him well, and attended his master classes in Geneva in the 80s. Standing next yo him when he played was like standing inside an organ. Truly incredible.
Magnificent playing, and here we see Szeryng at his best . but not playing on the "Le Duc" Guarneri, but on the "Hecules" Stradivari of 1734. Ten years after this performance, Szeryng donated the instrument to the City of Jerusalem and today is in use by Israel Philarmonic's Concermasters.
What I find especially astonishing aside from his marvellous playing and technical skills is how he just stands there, barely moving and still produces such musicality and emotion.
Amazing playing! Such security, tone, projection, intonation, and of course great interpretation. Other recordings can be equally as impressive or moving, but nothing could be "better".
Je note une grande transparence dans la répartie orchestrale dans les tutti du premier mouvement- on y perçoit bien l’énoncé du thème d'entrée - un plaisir de voir le visage de ces musiciens et cette salle mythique. C’est affaire de goût mais je trouve aussi un charme et des couleurs alliés à une espèce de 'conscience cartésienne' dans les phrasés remarquables. Et Szeryng ne manque certainement pas de superbe.
Perhaps the greatest recording of this concerto. Now, that cinematographer has to learn a few things about cinematography: first of, fade to black cuts imply some time has passed, it's very disjointed to see it used in a live presentation, it feels like I went to the bathroom and came back, distracting and awful.

This is my violinist forever.
i just wanted to say it
Wow! Right!

Thank you. Most people indeed don't know this.
thank you for sharing that! And to think, no matter the violin, he still sounds like no one else - only Szeryng!
I believe that strad was Ysaye’s until someone stole it during a concert in St. Petersburg.

He and Zino Francescatti were my favorite violinists. Thank you so much for this upload. It's wonderful. And so Brahms.
And does anyone know how he escaped certain death with General Sikorski?
Yvonne please share :)
Szeryng + Brahms = GOAT!
chills down the spine when the solo drops
Brilliant thrilling one one side this violin concert is fantastic and other side perfectly performed. What a beautiful experience.
An absolute master.

My favorite edition
I saw Henryk Szeryng paying this Brahms violin concerto in my home city about 1960. Unforgettable...
@@Xenia9That's amazing! I wish I could have ever had such an opportunity. It's odd to think that back then, this concerto was less than 100 years old
legend.

Szerink était un sacré violoniste. Brahms a une écriture vicieuse aussi bien pour le piano que pour le violon. Szerink s’amuse.
Wonderful! Thank!
Szeryng debe ser el mayor violinista
Del siglo 20.¿Han escuchado a Bach,a Saint Saenz,a katchaturian etc por el? ES INSUPERABLE.

Film was very recent back then, so that's expectable
@@franciscofragoeiro5229 not so recent, Vertov had grounded the rules of modern editing a good 35 years prior
This recording is from the 1960's
Вот Шеринг мастер на все руки за что не возьмётся всё получается
Pięknie gra , dorównał mu Nigel Kennedy.
genial ! Entree du violon 3'10"
2:35
Consumate artist in everything he played, Bach or Brahms, or Beethoven, or whatever.
👍💐
