In Reply to: Holy H.G. Wells! I just heard Joseph Joachim play! The Glagolitic is pretty sensational, too. posted by kitch29 on February 22, 2017 at 09:46:21:
They're available on uTube too. However, I'm not sure that Joachim was in the greatest (or even adequate) technical shape by the time he made those recordings - the first Hungarian Dance is OK, but the second really has some embarrassing moments. In both cases, they sound careful, and I can't believe that this was the way Joachim played in his salad days with Brahms.For violin recordings of that era (the early 1900's), the really amazing ones (at least for me) are the ones by Sarasate. Amazing energy and brilliance just four or five years before he died. I've linked to a sample below.
EDIT: one possible explanation of the differences between Joachim and Sarasate on those 1903-era recordings was that Joachim was in his 70's when he made his recordings, while Sarasate was only in his 60's when he made his. (Obviously, Sarasate died younger.)
