    • @vt4979
      @vt4979 2 года назад +3

      One interesting detail I've noticed is that most world class soloists rarely play showpieces like this anymore later in their career! They would shift to hone and perfect the concertos; and explore pieces that are more exceptionally difficult to express musically or something that they are passionate about rather than the most technically challenging pieces. It's a little bit of a bummer because I would love to hear Hilary's updated version of The Last Rose of Summer and Der Erlkönig now that she is so much more musically matured.

  • @isnadd

    I always wanted to learn how to play but now I have carpal tunnel syndrome and even just doing my job is difficult. Thank you for your wonderful content! I just love the sound of the violin!

    • @miklimecat9636
      @miklimecat9636 2 года назад

      @Emma hi, this isn’t music related but I was thinking about carpal tunnel, which I used to be prone to from over-using the mouse. On top of which I developed arthritis bad enough that I couldn’t open doors, couldn’t twist the knob, nor could I lock it without pain. I did physical therapy, I took NSAIDS. They helped a little. I was only in my 30s so my doc found it unusual, me being so young.
      Long story short, when I took out the inflammatory foods from my diet my hands, feet, knees, hips, neck all got better. (I did Keto, with real food, not processed products). It took about a year. The diet itself, if you succeed in going into nutritional ketosis, is also anti inflammatory. So you get two anti inflammatory effects- first from taking out the bad foods, and 2nd from ketosis suppressing one of the inflammatory pathways (or something like that). You might want to do your own research into this. Especially keto-carnivore, a.k.a. Ketovore. It turns out some of us are unknowingly sensitive to a range of plants and it contributes to the inflammation. So taking out most plants for a while while you’re healing helps a lot. My hands are fine now. There’s only the vaguest residual stiffness that I don’t even notice. I’d say my hands are 96% back to what they used to be. Good enough for me, good enough.
      Again, sorry to come at this from left field, but I can relate. Hope this helps.

    In my opinion she played with more colour and warmth than Hilary's, not to mention that she was *TWELVE YEARS OLD* at the time (I think TwoSet made a reaction video to this recording some time ago). Her name is Leia Zhu and she is already a very accomplished musician, and I'm really excited to see her development!!

    it's not bad, and it's definitely hard to play. But I think I found it more complicated and technical than that. I would really like to know if Rob Landes can play it. There is no sheet music because it is ancient folk music. If you are interested, here is the link to the music: ruclips.net/video/_icFFPQ-h5c/видео.html I would be very happy if I could see how a professional violinist plays it, because I've been trying for many years and I can't figure out the technique of how to play it. The violin parts (19:11-22:40, 46:52-48:45, 53:25-54:19) But I think all album is beautyfull.

    4:24 what’s with the rag on the chin rest? okay I don’t know a lot about playing the violin. But I enjoy seeing the orchestra and I love classical music; especially the violin.
    Why do they often have a trashy looking white rag on the end of the black chin rest? The white on black is the highest contrast possible making it very easy to see the raggedy edges of the cloth. It looks like it was ripped out in haste and it usually looks like the wrong size; like it’s way too big. Why aren’t there nicely sewed pieces of black cloth cut to the exact size needed on the ends of the chin rest thing? Even just for performances where everyone is looking at you and the camera is tight on your face; it would look so much better and not be so distracting.
