Violin master Chrysler once listened to Haefez's performance, and once sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I may smash my violin with satisfaction at once." ”
Yasha Haefez
The glorious myth of violin art
The pinnacle of the violin world that cannot be crossed
The greatest violin master of the 20th century
Violin Emperor Hifez
Yasha Hafez lived for 86 years, but spent 83 years playing the violin, and for more than 60 of those years, he stood on the stage and captivated all the fans.
On April 30, 1911, Heifetz gave his first concert in St. Petersburg. Since then, his playing career, which has spanned a total of 2 million miles ,000,000 miles , has begun (a long distance, including condolence concerts in World War II). Beginning in 1917, Heifetz began to make his art widely known and understood through his career in the recording industry, film, television specials, and nearly 10 years of active teaching activities.
Born on February 2, 1901 in Vilna, Russia (now Vilnius, the capital of the Republic of Lithuania), Heifetz began to study under the enlightenment of his father, holding a violin that his father had specially prepared for him. At the age of 4, Hefez entered Vilnaat and other music schools and began formally learning violin from Ilya Malkin. At the age of 7, he made his first public performance on stage, playing Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor in Kaunas, Russia. At the age of 9, he entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory and began to learn violin from Leopold ord, and three years later received the title of prodigy genius artist.
In 1911, at the age of 10, Heifetz made his debut concert in St. Petersburg. In 1912, with Nikish and the Berliner Philharmonic Orchestra, he performed Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major in Berlin. The tour then traveled to Germany, Austria and Scandinavia. It was at this time that the Tsarist Revolution broke out. Haefez and his family had several difficulties and eventually emigrated to the United States.
On October 27, 1917, Haefez was invited to perform for the first time at the Carnegie Hall in New York, which was a great success, and people spoke highly of him: "The 16-year-old young violinist actually performed a world-shattering concert in this concert hall with a long history, and presented the difficult technique and music clearly to the audience!" On November 9 of that year, Haefez recorded his first record. Since then, Haefez has become the new darling of the American music scene, holding at least 30 concerts a year in New York alone. In addition to the United States, Haefez made his first performance in London and Paris in 1920, and gave concerts in Australia the following year. In 1923, Heifetz made his first trip to Japan to perform at a special concert for the Kanto Earthquake Relief Fund and held several solo concerts. In 1925, Haefez acquired American citizenship.
In 1934, 17 years after the end of the Revolution, Haefez returned to his country to give 13 concerts and played "They Shall Have Music" (1939) for the first time in a film, giving condolence concerts for U.S. troops in World War II (including on the Italian and North American fronts). After appearing in the United States in 1947 for the "30th Anniversary" concert, Haefez began a 20-month recuperation. After a long sabbatical, he began his teaching career in 1958-1959 as a professor of music criticism at the University of Garnifria in Los Angeles.
In 1961, he began working as a professor of violin at the University of Southern Garniforia, where he held a series of "Hyfiz Piatigorsky Concerts" with cellist Piatigorsky in Los Angeles, and later in San Francisco and New York. After nearly half a century of playing, Heifetz turned 60 and slowly reduced the number of concerts he held outside. The 1972 concert was Haefez's last public performance.
Heifetz's craftsmanship shines brightly, his aura makes fiddlers flock to him, and his talents make the art of the violin an insurmountable limit. George Shaw Bernard even hoped that Hefez would play one or two wrong notes a day; Michael Mann portrayed Heifetz's performance in Carnegie as extraordinary "enthusiasm"; violin titans such as Kogan, Menuhin, Milstein, Auystracht, Perman, Stern, Sherin, and Zuckerman all acknowledged Heifetz's supremacy; Chrysler, when he heard Hayfaz play in 1912, simply wanted to keep the piano closed.
In any case, Heifetz opened the door to the modern art of violin playing and elevated it to a new height that had never been seen before. The pleasure of his razor-sharp technique is felt too much, but there are many extremely important elements in Hyfetz's gorgeous performance: his timbre is particularly full, clear and transparent, with a beautiful legato and the speed of telescopic speed; his skills are impeccable, daring to touch the works that most players are daunting; even his programming is unique. Many people have tried to get inspiration from Haefez's interpretation, but no one has ever succeeded. Now it seems that his style is a far cry from any experience we have today.
Miracles in violin art,
Only him, Yasha Hafez,
to create.
Haefez Tender slow board
"Haefez Tender Slow Plate" brings together the world's most classic lyrical slow plate, including 10 slow plate movements selected from the violin concertos of Bruch, Glazunov, Bach, Mendelsson, Tchaikovsky, Korengold, Beethoven, Mozart and Brahms, nine famous composers in the history of classical music. These soft, slow movements not only embody the romantic and tender side of each composer, but also the gentle and romantic side of Hefez, the outstanding violinist. Producer Munves commented: "These peaceful and quiet tender slow plates are love songs specially composed for violins and orchestras, leading us beyond the hustle and bustle of the world and into Hafez's unsentimental, precise and delicate performance." It was as if he were whispering softly in our ears, telling the truth about unquestioned love. ”
“
The interpretation of Heifetz's romantic tenderness, flowing out soft and beautiful notes, whether it is in the early morning of the morning dawn, in the afternoon of the bright sun, in the evening of the first illumination, or in the quiet of the night, quiet listening, savoring, fragile and sensitive soul can be soothed, can be magically full of romance.
The first track of the record is one of the most famous violin flex boards in the world, from Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1. The dreamlike theme of "Soft Board" creates a romantic longing feeling, and from time to time there is a pain in the heart, and after restarting a warm poetic ecstasy, the music reaches a climax full of emotion.
The second song, "The Continuous Rowing Board," is a selection of Grazunov's only violin concerto, similar in style to Bruch's Soft Board. This work from the beginning of the 20th century is extremely rich in some of Glazunov's musical styles. It can be seen that this "Walking Board" was influenced by Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto "Little Kanzona", and when the last note of the piece disappeared, it can still make people feel the aftersound and the melody will not disperse for a long time.
The third song, The Not Too Slow Broad Board, is an excerpt from Bach's Double Violin Concerto (for double violin and chamber orchestra), one of the greatest composers of the Baroque era. What makes this wide-paneled song endearing is that the two violin soloists play the same melody in a beautiful dialogue. In this piece, Haefez is played alongside Hefez's proud protégé, Eric Friedman.
The fourth is Mendelssohn's The Row, from the Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64. His concerto was so passionate that it sounded like it was all in one go, but it actually took 6 years to complete. Mendelssohn composed some very pleasant and charming pieces of music, known as "wordless songs". The melody of the theme of the song is simply charming, and even if you listen to it for the first time, you can't help but be fascinated by it.
The fifth , Canzona The Little ( literally " Little Tune " ) is selected from Tchaikovsky 's only violin concerto , with some of Tchai's most memorable musical styles. The violin solo calmly and peacefully chanted out the Russian national tune. Just as we were thinking about whether the music should be more sad, the music became clear, regained confidence and returned to the unforgettable theme of the beginning. Haefez's emotional performance accurately captures the sweetness of the depths of the piece.
Koengold's romantic and pleasant violin concerto was heavily influenced by Tchaikovsky. Coengold fled nazi Germany to Hollywood in the late 1930s, where he, a former Berlin prodigy, grew up to be a Master of Hollywood film scores, scoring Elro Flynn's legendary blockbusters Robin Hood and Seahawk. The "Romance" (sixth) included here is from the soundtrack he composed for Warner Bros. films in the 1930s and 1940s. Heifetz was the first to record the Korengold Concerto, and he not only gave this gentle Romance a beautiful and calm interpretation, but also accurately captured the passionate emotion of the piece.
Beethoven's only violin concerto is a masterpiece. This enthusiastic "Little Broad Board" (the seventh song) is permeated with an atmosphere of religious worship, as if Beethoven was fascinated by his ideal lover. The end of the band is filled with quiet joyful blessings.
The eighth song, The Row of Songs, is an excerpt from Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 4 in D major, composed in his teens and twenties. The melody of the song is sweet and gentle, and it is intoxicating. The ingenious interweaving of orchestral and violin solos adds a touch of joy to the piece.
Brahms's Concerto in A minor for violin and cello, Op. 102 - Row Board, is a touching slow movement with melodies that feel as comfortable as wearing a pair of flat shoes. The music begins with an idyllic trumpet, as if declaring to the listener that it will be a satisfactory piece. In the beautiful duet, the soloist interprets the trumpet as a beautiful love song. In this recorded version, Haefez collaborated with his close colleague, cellist Piatigorsky, who together recorded a number of excellent recordings for the rca.
Brahms's Violin Concerto in D major - Soft Plate is a meditation on love, as beautiful as the moon. The song begins with an orchestral theme that is heartbreaking but beautiful, and then continues with violin. In the middle of the piece, a cloud appears on the horizon, pushing the violin solo to a passionate climax. After the melody returns to calm, it returns to the beginning of the tranquil tune to the end.
★
The album features slow movements from the world's most popular violin solos and orchestral concertos. If those glorious movements can show the skills and talents of violinists, then these slow movements can show the great artistic talents of violinists and show their ability to sing like angels.
You will listen to these tranquil, idyllic, peaceful pieces of music again and again. Listening early in the morning will bring you a positive start to the day. Heifetz soothes our hearts and souls with his skillful interpretation, not only playing the violin, but he himself is the violin. Through the magic of his playing, his violin not only shows his unique style, but also his personal characteristics, as if he is whispering to us, conveying a wisp of emotion from the depths of the composer's heart to our ears.
