Farewell. Ida – Ida Haendel 192?-2020
So Ida has left us – a legend has departed. What a violinist! What a woman! Magnificent, unique, incorrigible – she was a law unto herself.
First, the playing: a film about her was aptly entitled: ‘I AM the Violin.’ And she was! The violin was her life; she mastered it, devoted so much of her existence to it, cared so much about it. Every performance was an event, which she took absolutely seriously, giving each concert her all. She spoke through her violin, proved herself through it, lived within the music she made. She was a marvel, an icon; each note she played was the result of total conviction – and as a consequence was totally convincing. She had been groomed from the beginning to be a star – and a star she was.
But she was also an adorable person. I had heard of her, of course, from my childhood onwards – hadn’t everybody? But I didn’t meet her until - I think - 2000, when I attended a memorable recital she gave at the Wigmore Hall (apparently her debut there!), concluding with a magisterial performance of Enescu’s 3rd sonata. I’d heard, to my delight, that she’d heard me somewhere, and had liked it, so I dared to go backstage afterwards. Having enthused about her playing, I rather uncertainly told her that I was Steven. She looked at me disbelievingly. ‘You’re NOT’ she announced, in her wonderful deep voice. I assured her that I certainly had been last time I looked in the mirror. She accepted this, and proposed that we play the Brahms Double together. It was such an honour; but alas, I just couldn’t do the dates she suggested.
I came across her shortly thereafter, however, at the Verbier Festival. I’d seen that she was giving masterclasses there, so when I saw her, I asked how they were going. She looked at me severely. ‘Steven,’ she boomed, wagging her finger. ‘I don’t teach.’ I was puzzled; she was, after all, advertised as the teacher of the violin class. ‘So you like teaching?’ I said, provoking her. The finger wagged again. ‘Steven,’ she repeated with equal seriousness, ‘I don’t teach.’ ‘So how’s the teaching going?’ I asked. Her finger was on its way in my direction, and she’d started to say my name in the same tone of voice – when suddenly her face broke into a big smile. ‘Oh – so you’re a tease,’ she said. After that, we got on famously. My other main memory of that Verbier encounter was of her examining something – I couldn’t see what - in the hotel lobby, and then calling me over. It turned out that the object in her hands was an album of recent photos of her. ‘Look, Steven,’ she commanded urgently. ‘Don’t I look gorgeous?’
Later, we took her to dinner near her flat in London. Tottering through the streets in her high heels, she suddenly came to a stop in front of a (closed) clothes shop, where either a pair of gold shoes or a gold dress (I can’t remember which) had caught her eye. It was impossible to budge her, late though we were for the restaurant. ‘Wouldn’t I look wonderful in that?’ she asked us challengingly. We agreed that she would. ‘I’m coming back here tomorrow morning,’ she assured us. She spoke that night about her appearance. ‘You think I dress like this just to go out?’ she asked. ‘No! Catch me at breakfast – I’ll look just the same.’ Her pride in her appearance was never-changing. Perhaps in someone else it could have been too much – but with Ida, it was wonderful, admirable; life-affirming, in fact, like her pride in her playing.
It is funny that already I’ve seen two obituaries giving her age five years apart. She’d certainly have preferred the younger estimate… It was impossible to get the truth out of her. I remember asking another glorious violinist-character, Lorand Fenyves, whether he knew Ida. ‘Oh yes, of course!’ he replied. ‘I knew her when I was 16 and she was 15.’ He paused. ‘And now I’m 80 and’ his eyes twinkled, ‘she’s 55!’
Although we never got to play the Brahms Double together, we did perform the Beethoven Triple concerto with Martha Argerich and the Rotterdam Philharmonic under the then little-known Yannick Nezet-Seguin in (I think) 2006. Now THAT was an experience – to put it rather mildly… Playing with those two way-larger-than-life ladies was something not to be forgotten; the two adored each other, and it was great fun to witness their interaction. Ida had only played the piece once before, as I remember; but she played it with utter conviction. And Martha was – well, Martha. And Yannick kept the whole thing together, somehow. So – it was special…
It was supposed to happen again, in Miami (where Ida lived); but alas, it didn’t. Still, I kept in touch with Ida and on one memorable occasion got to interview her at the Wigmore Hall (there’s a recording of that occasion on Youtube). She also came down to Prussia Cove once for three days, her visit culminating in a breathtaking account of the Bach Chaconne (she sported an almost equally breathtaking dress to match!) at the Hall for Cornwall. We also played and taught/didn’t teach together in 2010 at the Summit Music Festival, just outside New York. That was another unforgettable experience. At the concert that concluded the festival, Ida played virtuoso pieces with the orchestra that would have been impressive in someone thirty years younger – even younger – than she was. But equally Ida-ish was the post-concert experience. For some reason, it got very late, and it was well after midnight when we were taken in search of food. Not surprisingly, there were few options in the countryside at that time of night; but eventually we found a 24-hour diner. We went in and occupied a table. Looking around at the bikers and other rather unpredictable-looking types, I was a tad nervous; not Ida. I fortified myself with a margarita; she had tea. At one point, the conversation turned to Schumann, and his 2nd violin sonata (which at that time I didn’t know very well). I asked a question about it. ‘You want to hear how it goes?’ Ida demanded to know. She strode over to her violin-case, pulled out the violin, and to the astonishment (and then, luckily the delight) of the assembled company, began to play it. A photo taken at the time (below) shows me a little less than comfortable – and her absolutely in her element.
Oh, Ida. By the last time I spoke to her – too long ago, but not that long ago – I’d heard that she’d become very forgetful, so wasn’t quite sure whether to call her or not. But I dialled anyway, and the phone was answered. ‘Hello, Ida?” ‘Who is it?’ ‘It’s Steven – Steven Isserlis.” Silence – then the phone went dead. Oh dear. I tried again. This time I was able to hold her attention long enough to remind her who I was. We started to talk, and as the conversation progressed, she evidently remembered more and more about our friendship. It was true that she repeated herself a lot; but still – she was very much Ida, the same wonderful voice, the same love of life.
And now she’s gone. Farewell, Ida the legend; we humanoids will miss you – but thank you, thank you for giving us so much. Everything, in fact.

Twisting and turning, down this road we go
Running to the forest where we can play all day
The sun shines so brightly on our country town
Someone’s always calling out your name
And when summer comes, see our shadows grow
Always know I will miss you so
Come on, look up, find the first star in the sky
I hope tomorrow will be sunny, too
*Paprika, when our flowers start to bloom
Put the seeds into your hands and throw them in the sky
Paprika, we can make our dreams come alive
Rain or shine, we’ll find a way to play again another day
It’s raining and pouring, the moon’s hiding away
I think I can hear someone crying in the shade
Don’t worry I promise, there’s no need to be afraid
Someone’s always calling out your name
Come and count with me all the happy things
So much joy you always bring
Now it’s time to go, I’ll see you tomorrow
Memories will light the way back home
*Repeat
I will run to you
Through the forest where we played
Singing songs we made
And I will fill both hands
With flowers along the way
La-di la-di-da
会いに行くよ 並木を抜けて
ai ni yuku yo namiki wo nukete
歌を歌って
uta wo utatte
手にはいっぱいの 花を抱えて
te ni wa ippai no hana wo kakaete
らるらりら
la-lu la-li-la
パプリカ 花が咲いたら
Papurika hana ga saitara
晴れた空に種を蒔こう
hareta sora ni tane wo makou
ハレルヤ 夢を描いたなら
hareruya yume wo egaita nara
心遊ばせあなたにとどけ
kokoro asobase anata ni todoke
かかと弾ませこの指とまれ
kakato hazumase kono yubi tomare

Lyrics:
[Intro]
You broke me first
是你先傷了我的心
[Verse 1]
Maybe you don’t like talking too much about yourself
也許你不太喜歡談論你自己
But you shoulda told me that you were thinking ‘bout someone else
但你應該告訴我你曾心有所屬
You’re drunk at a party or maybe it’s just that your car broke down
你說你的車壞了 但卻在派對上酩酊大醉
Or your phone’s been off for a couple months, so you’re calling me now
或者手機關機幾個月 所以你現在才給我打電話
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you, you’re like this
我瞭解你 你就這德行
When shit don’t go your way you needed me to fix it
當事情不順利的時候 你需要我來解決
And like me, I did
雖然我曾經也一樣
But I ran out of every reason
但我沒有那些陳詞濫調
[Chorus]
Now suddenly you’re asking for it back
現在你突然回來
Could you tell me where’d you get the nerve
膽子真夠大的
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
是阿 你說你懷念過去的一切
But I don’t really care how bad it hurts
但我不在乎你是不是傷心欲絕
When you broke me first
當你先傷了我的心
You broke me first
是你先傷了我的心
[Verse 2]
Took awhile, was in denial when I first heard
當我聽到你已經走出傷痛時
That you moved on quicker than I coulda ever
我還不能自已
You know that hurt
你應該明白的
Swear for a while I would stare at my phone just to see your name
說實話我確實曾盯著手機期待你的消息
But now that it’s there, I don’t really know what to say
事已至此 我也沒什麼好說的了
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you you’re like this
我知道你就這樣
When shit don’t go your way, you needed me to fix it
事情不如意的時候你要我來擺平
And like me, I did
我曾經也是一樣的
But I ran out of every reason
但我從不推辭
[Chorus]
Now suddenly you’re asking for it back
現在你忽然回來
Could you tell me where’d you get the nerve
你也挺有勇氣的
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
是阿 你說懷念在一起的日子
But I don’t really care how bad it hurts
但我也不在乎你是不是真的傷心
When you broke me first
當你先傷了我的心
You broke me first
是你先傷了我的心
[Bridge]
What did you think would happen?
你覺得我會答應嗎?
What did you think would happen?
你覺得有這可能嗎?
I’ll never let you have it
我不會讓你得逞
What did you think would happen?
你覺得說些好聽的話就沒事了嗎?
[Chorus]
Now suddenly you’re asking for it back
別再來打擾我了
Could you tell me where’d you get the nerve
怎麼還有臉回來
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
是阿 你說想念過去的日子
But I don’t really care how bad it hurts
可我不關心你是不是悲痛欲絕
When you broke me first
當你先傷了我的心
