That is the Franco-Belgian School speaking through Gingold and it is Gingold’s love of the violin that makes his playing so special. Such a storied life...pupil of Ysaye, violinist under Toscanini, concertmaster of the Cleveland Orchestra under Szell for 13 years and distinguished professor at Indiana. A truly humble man who loved the violin with his whole heart!
Brings back memories of Mr. Gingold working with me on this piece- and a few other gems that were not in the popular repertoire. He knew them all. So charming.
Beautiful, exquisite violin artistry. A very different, but no less admirable, rendition than that by Jascha Heifetz. Gingold’s personal imprint on this lovely piece makes it unique, inimitable, and timeless. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Never knew gingold was capable of fast staccato. Heard his recording of hora staccato on radio and it was maybe half the speed of heifetzs staccato. In this recording his staccato is kinda sloppy and the octaves are not accurate. I guess he was known better as a teacher than performer
There is so much beauty and exquisite refinement and style in every single bar in this marvelous rendition, making me wonder what some of your favorite ( i assume) Asian machine-like violin playing robots could possibly offer to compete with this old gentleman... And by the way, next time you criticize somebody`s double-staccato , try emulate smth similar,and we all will laugh together ).
i agree about his staccato, it's just not clear enough. i read about staccato playing and this is all about the fisionomy of the player, if you are born with some 'wrong' layout on the hands you will never be able to do good staccato. it's not because of little training, it's about the own body of the musician. you can or cannot do good staccato, and this is it. he unfortunately didn't because of some physical limitation, but on all other areas of the violin he is a master.

Wonderful. Can feel influence of Heifetz. Of course who doesn't. But much sweeter.

I'm glad that's just your opinion. There's a lot of fine music-making in this recording.

His intonation is exquisite.
He was still terrific, but a little past his prime on this recording. You should have heard him in the 1940's!
