To the parent at 3:40: Bravo and kudos to you, fine sir, for accompanying your young daughter to the incredible performance.
How much better life would be in the US if more parents would follow your lead in nurturing the children in what Goethe referred to as "The True, The Beautiful and The Good".
Parents who expose their children to great music should be celebrated.
Bravo to the violist for a truly inspiring performance!
Still green at 80 and a master teacher who brings out the best in his pupils. And Julia is truly terrific.
It is so nice to hear a teacher/coach approach this Prelude from a harmonic point of view and not thinking about ‘correct baroque style.’
I get so much inspiration from these videos
He is full of wisdom and the 1st native english speaker I ever heard , who pronounced Bach the right way.
Best Masterclasses on youtube
Bach, is brilliant. Julia is wonderful. And, Benjamin is exceedingly passionate! A joy to be a part of.
The sounds of viola is very beautiful 😍😍😍
Can you imagine what this world would be like if everyone were as passionate about what they do as how passionate Zander is about every single note and nuance of a musical score ... or just music in general? I don't think we could handle it. Too many people in this world hate what they do and they hate every nuance of every single thing in life. It would definitely be a shock if all of a sudden we were exposed to passionate people in every walk of life......this man can't express enough, his passion for music. It really is incredible. He should have been gifted with a few more limbs and a few more octaves and maybe 10 more fingers...
Everyone is passionate about something. It's just that this world is not conducive to the passionate and earnest. Money gets in the way.
I love bach's music, excellent masterclass
Wow, amazing teaching session here, and she truly listens and applies what he's asking of her.
when it reaches 12:54 my eyes start to water, at 13:15 just broke to cry !! Amazing how this prelude can be so beautiful. Awesome Master Class !!
This is excellent.
A good way to practice your scales
God bless this man
This man is amazing, I want to see more from him!
Super exciting!! I was on the edge of my chair. I heard this suite from Pau Casals in a concert in Puerto Rico and at the end I was breathless as if I played it!
Spectacular!!!
She is brilliant!
Absolutely fabulous as usual. So inspirational 😊Ben is one whole step further when it comes to interpretation 😊
“badum tsss”
Casals and Starker are my preferred interpretations of JSB suites
17:18 "...C major, OMG!" How cool for him to make the linguisitic journey to the jargon of a teenage girl, if only for a moment.
Never seen anyone so excited about a C major chord! kkkk
That's why I love this guy.
He always renews our passion for music
@ Absolutely! His voice is so refreshing to hear!
How beautiful
Amazing
In this class, the World walks in Harmonia.
Thanks, Indeed!!!

Shimmering eyes right here
Possibility is the world of God.
12:41
che brava!!!!
i like your initial point!
what a superb personality.. you violist!!!
I've come to smile at these masterclasses... every so often you hear "students" that are better than the masters...
zander is too romantic
13:16 beautiful
Lary david and woody allen mixed.
Not "upside-down", but "sdrawkcab", I'd think.
Altiste prometteuse car ce prélude de la suite pour violoncelle en do majeur transcrite pour l'alto est difficile techniquement et musicalement !
Has she got a cello bow or perhaps a rather heavy make of viola bow I am unfamilair with?
It's a viola bow. They're the longest of all the string bows. Heavier than a violin bow, not nearly as heavy as cello bow however
20, 21 or 23. Whatever. : - )
Le seul problème c'est qu'un violon n'est pas un violoncelle.
Et que les chiens ne font pas des chats.
Cela aura-t-il échappé à quelqu'un ???
That's not a violin, it's a viola. Viola lacks solo repertoire and the cello suites actually fit the instrument well.
the bowing sounds shaky...great video as always though
A common nervous tick among string players. It is the bane of our performing lives.
My hands shake eating Pizza...give her a break, she’s got enough lumber under her chin to build a small house.
I don't like this class. He talks a lot but doesn't say much. Wrong chord at 9.55. She is really good, lovely sound and interpretation and didn't need any corrections.
Let's agree to disagree. (I am not related to impartial to, all parties involved with this class and video.)
She played the notes as they appear in the score. Perfectly, but immature and uninspired. With maestro's guidance this transformed and from the look on her face, she loved the guidance.
The line between talking people down and constructive criticism was never crossed.
I feel he helped her to a way to read notes on paper at another level.
He does that really well. I've seen master classes where the discourse does not get beyond fifths and chords - meaningless banter for competent musicians, the worst an artist can be called.
I saw Magaloff ask his student to play a couple bars again, but now as a fugue. She, a music professor today, played it. She had not recognized it, not expecting Bach in Chopin. Fryderyk practised Bach on a daily basis, if only to maintain a steady left hand. Zander is on the level of the artist, the context, the communication with the audience and the communication between voices in a performance. "Competent" music teachers enough, all over the world. Not enough of this.
Hm. Did she PRACTICE?????????????????
Out of tune several times throughout the piece, probably because it’s a viola
HA GOTEM
K
I noticed that too, I thought maestro would point it out. Maybe he thinks that interpretation is more important than intonation (at least in this instance, for this student).
@@mikegreenguitar
It's not that. He noticed it to but he feels like the student wouldn't take anything away from the lesson if he just talked about intonation the entire time. Her normal teacher should correct the intonation anyways
@@Nime64 We both agree that her intonation is not perfect, and that Maestro doesn't bring it up. I see Mr Zander emphasizing interpretation. He needn't "talk about intonation the entire time". One sentence would do; "watch your intonation".
I'm just a hobbyist musician, I'm sure Mr Zander notices (or is capable of noticing) more specific aspects of where the intonation needs work; maybe it's at the beginning of a phrase, or in places where the fingering is tricky. Obviously, he isn't concentrating on that aspect of the performance.
He begins by saying she's a straightforward musician and he loves that, but there's an opportunity to tell a story with music. In my opinion, every musician has different influences and experiences, so will tell the same story a little differently.
You're right, her primary teacher should work on things like intonation. Maestro probably feels the same. It did seem notable to me that he concentrated on telling a story. A masterclass with someone like Benjamin Zander is a unique and extremely valuable experience. I think the student will remember this lesson for many years!
Creepy ewh!
the tempo is unstable and some parts are out of tune...
as if that was important...
in these classes intonation doesn’t matter. zander doesn’t care about technique, as he has said himself
thats whay she is her to
Pianos are also out of tune by my standards, if I'm being super critical.
Out of my own criticisms, intonation doesn't make the list.
Matthew is not wrong, equal temperament does destroy harmony.
