The Best Paganini Cadenza - Philippe Hirschhorn [Live, 1967]

Музыка

The complete "Sauret" cadenza from the Violin Concerto No. 1, Op. 6, composed by Niccolò Paganini. Hirschhorn had an amazing combination of intensity, sensitivity, taste, obsession and elegance.
Things to notice:
- Look at how low his right arm is, especially when acquiring the G string. Made even more extreme by the fact that his instrument is very flat on his shoulder. I think he's the most extreme of anyone I've seen in that regard. Notice how his hand/fingers "sink" into the string as a result of this right arm anticipation.
- Is he tense or is he loose? Of course, he's loose, otherwise, you wouldn't hear what you hear. But, look at how immovable his violin appears. On first glance you might think he's tense and gripping the violin for dear life. After all, there isn't much in the way of 'organic swaying' up/down/sideways with the instrument. The violin is sitting on an immovable cloud, and then hands are dancing around it in perfect harmony. You can see the result of an absolute obsession with the fundamentals of technique. Putting everything in its place without force.
Live recording with enhanced audio. Brussels 1967, after he won the gold medal at the Queen Elisabeth Competition.

    Hirschhorn did not receive the recognition he deserved despite winning the Queen Elisabeth Competition and receiving the highest praise from Grumiaux, Menuhin, and Kogan. I was reluctant to use the "best" designation for any violinist until I was introduced to Hirschhorn's playing as an undergraduate student. Thank you for posting.

    You are right. He did not receive the international recognition (for his amazing talent) which he deserved. Unfortunately, after winning the Queen Elizabeth competition, he was forced by the bureaucrats in the Soviet Union to compete in 1970 in the George Enescu violin competition in Bucharest, where he was awarded only the third prize. The first prize was awarded to my childhood friend and phenomenal violinist Silvia Marcovici, whose videos are available on this site.

    The first thing I noticed was his violin being so stable. I’m thinking “how on earth does he do that?!” Is it natural head weight or is he subtlety combining it with some lifting from the left hand as well? Any insights? To me it was like a suspended table but an ‘immovable cloud’ is a much better analogy. I tried to replicate this technique after watching this ... and failed.

    I studied with a student of him. In Brussels. I would recognise this right hand way miles away! She was so hard on me. When I realized what she gave me and wanted to thank, I heard she had past away. Ulka Gorniak. She had also this care for the details and perfectionism of Hirschhorn. Perfectionism with humility. Respect for music. Thanks for this jewels. Pity so much people forgot about the pre-cd musicians, when the authenticity was a value. This Sunday I perform 6, 7 and 8 Beethoven sonatas. Today rehearsing still thinking half of the time, right wrist low, don’t loose it!!

    T. Shandelman, as a poet, writer, Founding Editor-in-Chief and lifelong player-with-words, I rejoice at your gift ... for gift it is. To parse without quibbling is to pursue truth. To some this critical faculty appears prolix. Done with the desire to convey a deep awareness of the "governing dynamics" in life, however, it can be (to borrow the title of Matthew Arnold's essay) "Sweetness and Light." The late John Nash made understanding governing dynamics the standard for his ethics, professional brilliance, and doing his all to give love to his wife and honor God who gave him the awesome gift of Life. Whether unraveling a mystery of astrophysics, or his determination to overcome his schizophrenia and"be there" for his beloved wife, he sought to learn the governing dynamics needed to master life's challenges/opportunities. C. S. Lewis applied earnest "wordplay" in the user of the English language with a depth that astounds. Read his prologue to THE FOUR LOVES, then the entire book - then THE PROBLEM OF PAIN, then his essay "The Weight of Glory" - and we see what riches reside in real mastery of words. Or have some fun with it (we all need to "unstring the bow" from time to time, said Saint John the Divine). Few did so with more eloquence than Sir Winston Churchill. Take his quip in protest against the grammar rule never to end a sentence with a preposition: "That is the kind of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put!" Way to go, Winnie, that's telling 'em! So the adroit precision in playing with words that you employed was indeed "well played." John Nash made it his core goal in mathematics, quantum physics, in game theory,and in his heroic personal life by triumphing over schizophrenia through force of will to be true to reality and never illusion ... which saved his love life and family life. (Read his biography, skip the film, "A Beautiful Mind"). One of my daughters, working part-time during college, waited table at John Nash's favorite local diner, serving him the frequent lunches he'd enjoy there with his wife and son. He always tipped precisely 15% -😮 no calculator used, of course! A casual brush with a man of singular destiny, to be sure ... but it is instructive to encounter one who is indeed "The Man, The Myth, The Legend," to know that the one next to you on the subway is "just" another child of God and hence royal, deserving of our admiration, respect, and awareness of what faculties and wisdom they have received from God. We might even give an ear to what they have to say. Anything might come of it! I regard John Nash as a real life hero for our times. Same goes for Messrs Lewis, Churchill, and the stranger who saved me from leaving home prematurely, and demonstrated he was my angel. To "Wordplay" then ... may it always be used with sincerity, not its counterfeits, Nitpicking or Showing Off. Done right, it pleases God who bestows "talents" on us to be used well and so glorify Him alone.

I will certainly be searching for more of this astounding player. I loved seeing a player who didn't put on silly faces and dance around. He just moved his arms, remenicent of the great Heifetz.

    One blessing and sad part of Hirshhorn’s recordings is that there are few videos. It is a blessing because you are forced to listen more. When i first started listening to Hirshhorn’s Paganini I don’t think I even started to hear any of his intentions until several times of listening. Several thousand times later I am still discovering his intentions. So my advice is to keep listening, a lot of the concepts are new, so the listener won’t understand them right away.

    I had to watch this again and listen and watch again, and again. Could Paganini himself have been better than Philippe Hirschhorn? This is so good, and also the guys who filmed and recorded this must have been highly dedicated top professionals. Many thanks for alerting us to Philippe Hirschhorn!

    I didn't know you also watch others. I watch your vids. Keep it up your doing great. You can't compare a beginner with a master. He's been playing his entire life while you played for maybe 1 year(im guessing). So do you think it's a fair comparison? If you played for as long as him and you are still worse, then so? That man has practiced A LOT and analyzed himself A LOT and plus you would still win something even though you losed as you gain experience and skill in violin.

    I bought the Menuhin recording when I was 14 (76 years ago) and later studied it with my professor at the Guildhall - though not the cadenza, as I never found the music. It's a long time since I heard the Menuhin recording and I was surprised by just how brilliantly he plays the Sauret cadenza. Dare I say he is even better than Hirschhorn though, of course, he is not live as Hirschhorn is here. I would have to make a thorough study of them to make a conclusive comparison. At 11.05 he does, what I always found to be a most difficult maneuver at high speed. Ah well! Thanks for posting. It had to be you, Daniel, the best - who else.

Если говорить о концерте Паганини, то магическое искусство Леонида Когана и сейчас в начале 21-го века остаётся по-прежнему непревзойдённым. Здесь Хиршхорн куда интереснее многих современных исполнителей...вот это точно. Спасибо за эти архивные записи.

    there are imperfections. Still, it will be hard for any violinist to surpass this version. . If you want to know where some imperfections can be heard: listen closely to the arpeggiated chords that go really high. Often the highest few are a bit out of tune, and the same goes for some double stops (especially the tenths). But it goes very fast, is difficult to hear. Also, not all flageolets 'speak' 100%. That said, being on this level is not just about being perfect in hitting notes. It is also about taste, interpretation, musical expression, tempo, rubato, the ease of execution... etc. What he does here is amazing in all respects. Incredible that he did not have the huge career he deserved.

We cannot live a European life without Rosa and her ideas should be put into practice. Workers, soldiers, ordinary peopel, the you-and-me's should not fight each other in the Ukraine, to name just on example. Philippe: in demonstrating his art, albeit almost awkward, was one of the most successful people imaginable. And he continued his art as a teacher. Thankfully, a lot of recordings are here to testify his genius, as we are lucky enough to have the same with Mikhail Bezverkny, another genius on the violin.
