She was around 78 in this.....so amazing. I was at a party and had the honor of meeting her. Such an eccentric, funny, and wonderful lady! And one of the best violinists ever. I have never met someone who keeps their violin skill this long.
This is a woman from the golden era of violin playing. And at her age, it's both moving and inspiring that she continues to play so well. Thank you for this video!
I truly appreciate the excellent musicianship and skill of Ida Haendel. As far as I am concerned she is one of the best violin virtuoso players in the business. Her skill is superb and all the more so because she is not a showman or pretender to the art of the instrument. She is a natural genius with a message to give to the audience that is both original and unique in its presentation.!
Part 4:44 - 5:56 is incredible, something so emotional, happy and so sad and nostalgic at the same time. I can't get that part out of my head and keep it on repeat.
I am Hungarian born and the least I recognize two melodies (one of them starts around 4:36) from my childhood, I even remember the lyrics. Not to mention at the end the rhythm of the 'csardas' and some theme from Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody. In any case it is a fantastic composition, her performance is a great match for it. Ida Hendel is one of my favorite world famous violinist. I started to listen to her music decades ago.
Vous avez forgé en moi l'envie d'apprendre le violon, je n'avais que 5 ans, j'assistais a mon premier concert, Vous revoir jouer en Israel, est très émouvant pour moi, votre jeu et votre vivacité est resté intact. Mille merci a vous Ida.
Mythic!!! 1:06 : What a movement! The bow 'sounds' like a sword! 3:08 : Fantastic!!! I'm amazed! 6:16: The 'click' is fantastic! 7:30: FAAAAAAAAAABULOUS... Her face says something like: I'm marvelous. Lost my breath!!!
The audience isn't laughing. First of all, they're smiling because they're watching the last living legend of the high time of violin playing - I'd be smiling, too. Secondly, they're smiling and almost giddy with each other because, obviously, there are many many musicians in the audience. Vadim Repin, Shlomo Mintz, and others. A violinist's dream to hear this incredible musician live.
An outstanding and powerful performance! She has an relaxed and energetic manner at the same time, the way she moves, too, and that may have made the audience smile. I cannot imagine - in any other than a well-disposed manner.
Thank you,Miami festival.. Shlomo Mintz it's in the hall to lissen her..i see the satisfaction in your face..it's a legend of the violin also for one of the best player,i think..
Ida is a hell of a woman and a violin virtuoso, a great pleasure to encounter her terrific unique skills... and the audience is BORED!!! unbelievable..
I think they are smiling because she is still very good. May be also wondering would they play like that when they are her age... It's not easy to stay good. Most don't play when they get so old in pablic. Amazing! Good for Mrs. Handel! God Bless her and give her many years of life!
Wow my parents just met this woman and it turns out we only live a few blocks from her. She told us she was a famous violinists and I didn't believe her but apparently. Its true. Awesome! !!
The audience is that of oneself, irrespective of hoi poloi. I cried for the way this was played by a beautiful & talented soul; just having come across this online was a privedge I would have ten years before.
i've got the ticket!!!!! :) I'm sure I'll enjoy the concert because is Beeethoven. this is, indeed, a blowing performance. no other comment and a big BRAVO.
Pokłon do samej ziemi za kunszt i wzruszenia. Dziękuję.
Ms.Haendel is really among the great violin virtuose of our times, even those guys who are laughing agree or not !

My God!! I stopped breathing so that I couldn't miss a note...
We are gratefull Mrs Haendel!!!

She puts her soul into playing the violin. Absolutely wonderful!!!
Thank you Ida. I love your play. My mum said she WISHED she had a mother like you. You are her biggest inspiration!
Buty mi spadły z wrażenia!!!!!!!!! Niesamowite, nieziemskie, niecodzienne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's just damned good violin playing; incontestable. Et très touchant aussi. Merci Ida.

God bless you Ida!

Sounds beautiful, I can't believe she plays so well in such an age
Because if her age, she plays so great...
Age + training = experience = art
So great a violinist! And after seeing your UA-cam biography, such a sweet lady you are.
David Garretts teacher and mentor. Only the very best.

WOWWW!!!!! I have tears in my eyes she is amazing I love her!!!!one of a kind!
I completely agree and I think that every time I watch her play. It would be nice to see her in concert some time.
Young violinists must listen this performance !
An outstanding and powerful performance! She has an relaxed and energetic manner at the same time, the way she moves, too, and that may have made the audience smile. I cannot imagine - in any other than a well-disposed manner.
I am in awe of her God given talent and endurance. May God bless her and keep her.
Absolútne krásne!Bravo a poklona,pani I.Haendel.

Thank you Ms Haendel. This is the best interpretation I've heard!
Im pretty sure she's 83 in this video. It's from 2006 and she was born in 1923. It just makes it all the more amazing!
I think they are smiling because she is still very good. May be also wondering would they play like that when they are her age... It's not easy to stay good. Most don't play when they get so old in pablic. Amazing! Good for Mrs. Handel! God Bless her and give her many years of life!
