    I wept at the sheer humanity of this performance. Her fellow musicians clearly love, admire, and are inspired by Ms. Youssefian. The looks of joy and aliveness on their faces make me feel like life is worth living again. This is what humans can do - make music like this. It gives us great worth and meaning as a species. I hope that Ms. Youssefian and her fellow musicians are leading happy lives. I wish and pray for this.

    Alana Youssefian is very impressive. She makes all of those rapid key shifts look insanely easy... and they really, really aren't. Don't believe me? Just look at the reactions of the cellists @ 4:54 . Almost as though to say "Okay, now she's just showing off" LOL. Simply a phenomenal display of her mastery over the violin. VoM complements her play quite nicely. Beautifully played. Thank you very much for posting this. As always, I'm looking forward to more.

The solo cadenza section at 3:27 onwards with the final flourish is AWESOME! 👏👏👍😃

    I really like how free Alana looks without the chin rest and shoulder rest on the violin, so many violinists are locked into the instrument with shoulder rest contraptions like the Bonmusica, she is free to move but it must make holding the violin steady harder.
