Can you imagine playing like this at one of the innumerable violin competitions out there today? He’d get the boot after just the first round. Which is more an indication of today’s taste in violin art and less about the genius of this great artist. Long live Ivry!!!
Normally I would be inclined to think that you would be correct. But I do wonder sometimes… You see, his tone is so warm and full-bodied, and his precision when it comes to simply hitting the right notes in tune to me is second to none. And he has such vigor in his playing, and such a unique artistic attitude!!! If you and me can recognize his genius, then surely there must be at least one seat on those judging panels that can as well, right? Hmmm…🤔
@@Tennisisreallyfun There are plenty of violinists who hit the right notes in tune, even more accurately than Gitlis. But I'd rather listen to Gitlis because he has personality. He's not one of these modern perfect robots.
@@stepaushi You have no idea how much I agree with your comment and how much I appreciate that you even notice this. Everyone lauds these young celebrities these days as superstars. You know, your Sarah Chang, Chuan-Yun Lee, etc… But what I hear is a pure technician. Someone who can hit every note, but when it comes to sound, can only hope to produce something cold, hollow, and soulless every time they bang on their poor instruments. There are many violinists, but only a select few are truly great, and Gitlis is certainly one of them!
@@Tennisisreallyfun What on earth are you talking about? If there is one young violinist whose playing is NOT cold, hollow, and soulless it would be Chuan-Yun Li. His warm tone and idiosyncratic interpretations probably come closest to Gitlis out of any modern violinists.
There are just these great characters who never quite walk in the same plane as everybody else, and who are so damn good you just meet them wherever they are and let them take you places you can't imagine. Glenn Gould was another one of those.
Les artistes viennent sur terre pour nous apporter la joie, Ivry Gitlis nous apporte le bonheur d'atteindre la perfection, lui en jouant merveilleusement et nous en l'écoutant. Chaque note si bien posée nous élève. Annick Vidalot
Wow, just wow, it's like he takes the notes, carelessly throws them at his instrument to see what sticks, and hey, guess what, they are "accidentally" all perfect. Now I hate myself.
Jesus marijja...when my violin teacher gave me this music, he played it in half tempo, and I still thought he is mad for thinking I will ever be able to play this :p
Great performer of technique, true; however, a mean spirited charlatan as a person. Listen to him on Hilary Hahn's video on Ginette Neveu making fun of her odd appearance( which she could not help) not her talent which was much greater than Ivry Gitlis who had technique , but not her MAGIC!!!

@@vegancrabcakes he probably just picked like the first two asian violinists he could think of
One of the greater violinist of ever ... you can recognize his timbre with eyes closed
sure

A great master.
His tone is as close as a human voice
The golden old school
Excellent video! Thank you for this wonderful post! I love Ivry's performings, he's the best!!
never realized his greatness till utubes
Mr Ivry is a legend....that's all i can say....!
Playing by heart, free your soul!
beautiful piece . my love play exactly like him
Not only is that longhair smoking ... he's blowing smoke rings!! How utterly à propos!
At 4:30 he blows out smoke rings then holds in a laugh knowing how ridiculous he looked while doing that
Rip Maestro

signor mio, mi vedomagnificat,. già dentro la alhambra... mangificat.
who are those people, who don´t like this ?
Ivry is no less than Paganini. I am sure about this after listening to his performance of companella.
Wow!
Jesus marijja...when my violin teacher gave me this music, he played it in half tempo, and I still thought he is mad for thinking I will ever be able to play this :p
❤❤❤
Barenboim is there
or Guy Béart
4.33...te lo diceva Ivry,se ti vedeva, da dove dovevi fare uscire le nuvolette di fumo, virtuoso...
The same guy yawning is also the one smoking. Rather expected!
It's very beautiful. Thanks.
What is the name of the pianist?
could be the Young Georges Pludermarcher
I love the guy yawning :DDD!!!
There's a guy yawning at 3:10!!!!
Yes, he was obviously not aware of that genius moment he heard...poor guy 🤷
He is like Picasso
S'aproche de lui David Garrett,mais je ne suis sure de ca Un specialist le peut dire La maniere d'aborder les notes s'aproche
Half of these views is mine
Most of the audience look like they want to be somewhere else. Sad.
Gitlis is like a street musician prone to histrionics who impresses only the uninitiated.....
winrx very much your opinion only
Wow been playing the violin for 15 years and I can play Paganini concertos surely im wrong being impressed by him. Yeah. Sure.
Are you violonist ? if yes you are a jalous ! if no shut up your mouth !
Only grand master can play like him. He just use one bow .

Penelope White just shut up
He does look like a charlatan.
Wow!
