The Art of Violin 

part 2


Following the success of GREAT PERFORMANCES: THE ART OF CONDUCTING (1995), THE ART OF SINGING: GOLDEN VOICES, SILVER SCREEN (1998), and THE ART OF PIANO (2000), the fourth installment in the "art of music" series showcases the violin. 

This two-hour program covers the world's most celebrated 20th-century violinists, including Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler, David Oïstrakh, Yehudi Menuhin, Isaac Stern, Eugène Ysaÿe, and many others. 

Thanks to an outstanding treasure trove of rare footage, today's audiences can now re-experience the unique sound and style of each of these influential artists. Complementing this rich archival material are contemporary virtuosos including Itzhak Perlman, Ida Haendel, Hilary Hahn, Ivry Gitlis, and Mstislav Rostropovich, providing insight on the tradition of the violin and the heritage of its 20th-century masters.
