Indeed!

19:44 he adjust the intonation of the A string during the trill what a beast

Этот тот самый уровень исполнения ,когда нет необходимости говорить о технике, звукоизвлечении, интерпретации и.т.д. , совершенно ясно и понятно, что играет мастер . Это -- настоящее искусство ушедшего времени, которое уже не повторится ... , остаётся только сожалеть об этом .

Ты так прав! Спасибо за ваш проницательный комментарий и оценку ушедшего искусства.

He has a such a rich way of sustaining the connection to the string through bow/string changes and slides... simply incredible.

Absolutely riveting! Great to see him on the E. Rocca here... still his signature sound no matter what the fiddle! And that Kreisler cadenza... the GOAT

I simply love kreisler cadenza, and just wondering why it is seldom use than the joachim one. It's simply the best and almost sound as granduer as the concerto itself

Очень необычные акценты. Чудесный звук !!! - настолько ясный и певучий...очень плотный - и очень непринуждённое звукоизвлечение... Впечатление мощнейшее !!! - какого давно не переживал...спасибо всем, кто исполнял и это сохранил для потомков !!! СПб, рабочий, 61 год.

Thanks Eric for putting this rare video on here for so many lovers and students of Mr. Shumsky to not only hear, but also watch him play. We can not only hear and enjoy, we now can at the same time watch and see him. I doubt we will ever again hear the likes of this genius. I was very lucky to study with him three years at his home and to know him well. Ronald Hurwitz

One of Mr. Ricci’s favorite violinists.

Wow. A stark reminder of how much better they were back then with all due respect to modern artists.

All due respect to modern artists, but you guys stink 💀

Goodness, I've never seen him play and this is a complete revelation - although I knew he sounded great, it's really interesting to see how he does it.

Pure profundity! It felt like if Brahms was playing.

True cantabile from Shumsky. He really nails this. Incredible.

This is wonderful. Thank you so much for posting this. I was aware of Oscar Shumsky from a former violin teach and friend of mine, Cline Otey, who once taught with Shumsky at Peabody. During my lessons many years later in the early 90s, he would often make reference to Shumsky, whom he clearly respected greatly. But up until today, I had only heard him play the Mozart concertos on a CD I acquired around that same time. With that in mind, I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to see and hear this. Shumsky's bow arm technique mirrors precisely what Mr Otey taught me, with a style which readily produces a very full, strong, and powerful tone, which is enhanced by a fluid movement in the right hand and fingers - particularly the index finger - which is able to press down on the bow, to produce more volume. Up until my studies with Mr Otey, I had been taught to use the more pronated Russian bow hold. But after learning the Franco-Belgian model, I never looked back. Shumsky demonstrates that particular technique and bow hold with absolute perfection here.

That deadly stare at the clarinets at 26:40 lol.... Great playing nonetheless! Big fan of his playing (and his tasteful slides too!), and am currently studying with one of his students!!

Poetic, soulful, and powerful.

Not to forget the orchestra and maestro Emile.

wonderful full-blooded performance of a kind never heard anymore these days. What a world class violinist Oscar Shumsky truly was!

彼の名前は聞いた事が有りましたが、初めて彼の演奏を見、聞きしました。引き込まれて此の作品の素晴らしさを心の中に直接送られた様な気がしました。演奏の素晴らしさは言葉では表現出来ません。崇高的な位置迄行っています。…ありがとうございました。

心のこもったコメントをありがとうございます。はい、ヴァイオリンを愛する人はオスカルを愛するでしょう。私は彼の晩年に友人でいられたことが幸運でした。彼がいなくてとても寂しいです。

Truly masterful, thank you for sharing!

Perfection of form, stucture and grammar. The composer's punctuation. Thank you for bringing us an almost lost language.

Fabulous.

Invaluable historical performance! Thanks you so much for sharing with us ❤

Many thanks for sharing... a rare treat!.... always one of my favourite violinists/musicians.... such wonderful and unique sound....he had a humility in his playing lacking in so many other greats. Would be amazing if the film and sound could be perfectly in sync... I find it just a bit frustrating that it's slightly out....thanks again.

Many thank’s for posting this! He is one of my favorite violinists! Great playing again! If I am not mistaking he is using his Enrico Rocca and not the Stradivarius here.

Гениально !!!!! Лучшее исполнение !!!!

An absolutely brilliant interpretation of the greatest violin Concerto of them all. Maestro Shumsky's sound is gorgeous. It's really true treasure.

Meraviglioso!

Es la primera vez que escuchó a este violinista me parece excelente sds.

The audio here is so good. As his playing. Magnificent.! What can you say.. kriesler cadenza I deem the best. unquestionably.

Вот оно-совершенство скрипичной игры! наслаждение игрой Гения! Если есть понятие и определение скрипичности, то это Оскар Шумский! Его звук не превзойдённой красоты и наполненной! владение смыслом изумительно! что касается Иисуса, то да он тоже был Еврей...

Браво!!! Браво !!! Браво!!! Игру таких музыкантов , как О.Шумский ,М.Ростропович ,Ю .Башмет ,Л .Кавакос ,надо записать в Красную книгу ( если так можно сказать).Под угрозой изчезновения находится главный принцип обучения всех струнников : правильная координация рук ,где правая рука " госпожа" ,а левая рука "служанка ".
