DESCRIPTION:
My 8th and, perhaps, the last Hassid's so far...
This video is wholeheartedly dedicated to my beloved friend who ends my days on high notes since being in his company.
Josef Hassid- Tchaikovsky -- Sourvenir d'un lieu cher (Remembrance of a Beloved Place) Op. 42, No.3 Melodie.
Gerald Moore (piano).
Rec. 6/12/1940

Josef Hassid (Dec. 28, 1923 -- 1950) was a Polish violinisit.
He was noted for his intense vibrato and temperament, causing Fritz Kreisler to say "A Heifetz violinist comes around every 100 years, a Hassid every 200."
His great legacy to music is in the form of 9 recordings, recorded for HMV, among which Achron's Hebrew Melody is notable. Two of these recordings are the same piece; later recording was made after undergoing roughly a year under Carl Flesch's teachings. Sorry, I don't have that piece.

Many thanks to people whose pictures have been used to make videos.

Tchaikovsky's sounds really sad, but I wanna see a happy ending tho. Enjoy! :)
