David Nadien, violin - Raff Cavatina

[@oldmanandthesea7039]

The most underrated violinist of 20th century!

[@tiggywinkle20]

And often the underrated are some of the very best like David Nadien.
A new discovery for me. Thank you.

[@tamerlano]

That warm, buzzy sound mixed with an innate sense of line...it's deeply satisfying. He made very beautiful music.

[@alexsaldarriaga8318]

This man has touched my heart. He makes his violin sing and soar. It really does not get better than this.

[@eileennapier1109]

Imagine what it is like to have the gift to touch your soul. My soul has been touched. I am so grateful............

[@davemiller7633]

Yes! A true underrated master!!

[@lionardl1604]

Because its played on the lower string, that is what make it sound deep and beautiful.

[@gianlucalav]

A very GREAT violinist, his short pieces have the quality of Heifetz's and the warmth of Elman. His Maestro Adolfo Betti brought him on the right path. Great artist.

[@violinbuff3782]

Oh my God..what a sound which goes to the heart Today they do not touch you like Nadien did! Eric Shumsky

[@rubengreenberg2253]

So little Nadien on UA-cam. More please! What a wonderful artist. I know he did a lot of commercial work. I would also like to hear that. Anything...as long as it's Nadien.

[@neew1985]

This is really amazing.. problably one of the best things on youtube.

[@MurrayGould1234]

David Nadien was happily and enthusiastically acknowledged to be the greatest violinist of his generation, especially by those who were considered to be the second and third most naturally gifted of his time.

[@manchunyu843]

3 minutes and 47 seconds of pure bliss

Sounds like Heifetz. Most talented and underrated violinist.

[@user-xc9il7dt2l]

Лучшее исполнение которое я слышала

[@1blairt]

One of a handful whose playing sings. Love the earnest, hopeful look in young Nadien's eyes. Thanks very much.

[@olgakviatkovskaia4587]

Great Artist! Thank You for sharing! 💖🌹🌹💖

[@melayube]

A grandmaster with the violin.

[@metterrs]

Очень красиво👏👏👏

[@douglasbruce4991]

Beautiful - it sounds as if Boris Barere (son of the legendary Simon Barere) was the piano accompanist. One can tell from the lyrical style of his playing.

[@sevcik2]

Wonderfully performed!
This recording is another gem from your great collection!
Thank you for sharing.

[@user-ix4xf2je6w]

Как нежно! Изумительное исполнение!

[@p.f3617]

Une merveille, un miracle!

[@musicfirst5020]

One of my earliest pieces I learned. My father, a semi-professional violinist heard all the greats, even Kriesler.

[@Harutyunian]

[@cfhcxfcd756]

그의 전설적 비브라토에도 따스하고 우아한 과르네리 소품 연주

[@GaspardLeLezard]

Prachtig

[@robotnik77]

The era of Kreisler, Elman, Heifetz, Oistrakh, and men like Nadien, are long gone. The new violinists are efficient and technically wonderful, but the soul is dead. They play these short pieces with artificial feeling. It's all technique now. It's like so many typewriters clacking. The wunderkinder of the last 50 years can't move me deeply at all. There's no poetry, there's no romance, no subtlety of expression, true emotion, or spontaneity. It's all calculated.

[@hansmahr8627]

Oh please. Yes, tastes have changed. Constant and intense vibrato is nowadays seen as sentimental or tasteless (just like it was before the romantic era) but it's not like there's no emotion anymore. Do you really want to tell me that Maxim Vengerov for example has a soulless way of playing? I think he's one of the most intense violinists of all time, his sound is absolutely wonderful. No subtlety of expression in James Ehnes' playing (who has sometimes been compared to Heifetz)? And it's odd that you name Heifetz, even though his playing was sometimes described as technically brilliant but lacking emotion (in my opinion, it's only true in some recordings).

[@gnatural]

@@hansmahr8627 sorry Hans but hes right lol

[@1berto1264]

Listen to Kento Hong... He doesn't play so calculatedly

[@alessandromiotti311]

i disagree

[@wannabecat369]

@@hansmahr8627 I agree with you about Heifetz, but constant thick vibrato was not approved in the romantic period, it only really became a thing after Kreisler did a good job with it and then everyone else went crazy even to the extent of bad taste (which Kreisler himself never did). Maybe a few other violinists contributed to vibrato inflation, but Kreisler is the first i come to mind in history to use constant vibrato.
