Live concert recording in Hoepertingen, Belgium June 24, 2017
This is a perfect demonstration of the expressive abilities of the viola. Marc Sabbah is a truly remarkable musician.
Thank you so much
I found this piece from one of twosetviolin's recent videos. So, I came here to hear how it actually sounds. It's a very beautiful piece. :)
It just casually appears in my recommendation after the video LOL
Me 2 :)
Me too!
Me too
Same! I heard the beginning of what they played and I thought, “wait this actually sounds really nice!” And I was not disappointed by this video! So gorgeous👏🏼👏🏼
Until recently I've never heard this piece, I wonder why, it's such a masterpiece, it should be among the more famous pieces
I agree with you 100%
I am a violist myself and i remember listening to this song so many times when I was in orchestra. Man is this so passionate. Thanks!
Not a song
As a violist, I am so glad I didn't see this performance live as I'd have made a scene. When this was over at home I started clapping, got up, hopped a little and shouted 'F*** yes, Marc!' haha I mean the tone, the legato connectedness of those double stops in the second half, man I think this is the best performance of the Vieuxtemps I've heard.
I love your enthusiasm. Thanks so much.
@@marcsabbah5275 would be enthusiastic if i could play at your level
Me too 😂
This performance is just too breathtakingly beautiful!! You are among my fave violists, especially with your Walton and Bruch recordings. Keep sharing your performances please!! #violalove
Sweep, intelligent and emotionally moving phrasing, and impeccable technique...just a beautiful performance of this thrilling piece!
Thank you so much.
Wow the first few lines
First time hearing it, and Im astounded. More minutes to come
This recording is absolutely stunning. The pinnacle of musicality and viola playing!!! Thank you Maestro for your incredible artistry 🙏🏻♥️
What an absolute beautiful interpretation of this piece. I used to play viola in the garden state philharmonic but my career and family put that in the back burner so to speak. However, my son cane to me , unprovoked and said he wants to play viola just like his mom ♥️. He started private lessons this year and is progressing very well. I showed him this video and he was in awe. Thank you for sharing how incredibly beautiful the usually overlooked viola truly is.
Thank you Tracey. Family is extremely important and I wish you and your son all the best with your musical discoveries.
I’m not normally a huge fan of this piece, but this rendition was quite impressive. I’ve played through it a few times, and it’s not overwhelming difficult from a technical standpoint, but the musicality really makes or breaks it, and you nailed it. Very well done.
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it,
Making the trill in the third measure from the upper note is such a wonderful choice, that gives impulse to the melody by avoiding it to crash on the repeating of the note. And it produces a savoury dissonance a flat/g.
Thanks for pointing that out! I didn't notice until you said so 🙏🏻
Восторг❤!!! Браво
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻 I constantly find myself revisiting this video. You create such a wonderful mood from start to finish and the sound coming from your viola converses with the heart. I even enjoy the sigh that comes from someone lucky enough to be in the audience at 3:32. Again, thank you.
Thank you Gustavo. I will be uploading another video very soon of another piece. Best wishes, Marc.
Yes, I have watched this performance several times as well.
This is the best version I've ever heard. I also live in Belgium and studied viola at IMEP。bravo!
Thanks Keren.
Beautiful
멋진 연주 잘 보았습니다
너무 훌륭합니다 ❤️
Cette manière de changer de sonorité, de respirer au bon endroit, et d'étirer le tempo fait que l'on a l'impression qu'un premier alto joue la mélodie, et qu'un second l'accompagne... J'aimerais pouvoir jouer ce morceau un jour, mais je n'en suis qu'au concerto de Teleman !
I've been showing this video to all of my first and second year string players and most of them can determine that this sounds like 'someone who passed away'. It's amazing how much emotion and story telling is conveyed from this performance. Amazing!
I am in tears. The very best performance of this piece, my favourite viola solo, I've ever heard. It does not sound like a capriccio...rather the true aspect of hommage, sorrowful, as though longing for Paganini. Exceptional interpretation as you portray this brilliantly. Bravo 👏
welcome to the no shoulder rest team haha :) perfect performance, love it!!
Thank you!
Wow!
Maravillosa interpretación de una de mis obras favoritas. Muchas gracias por este regalo!
Bravo! An incredible performance 👏
Thank you Lucia.
Here I am again.
Sweet fire. I think it will take me 5 years to learn this piece. Better start now!
Yo its been 6 how u doin?
Best performance I've ever heard of this piece.
Thanks Joseph.
I agree.
very lovely and passionately done
Wonderful depth of emotion. Must be truly amazing to possess the technique to express those colours so beautifully.
Thank you so much
Wasted years of my life playing Violin and Cello until I found my Viola. Nothing compares to the haunting resonance....
Marc! I love your sound! And your musical sesitiivity! A great instrument and great Performer!
Thank you so much Ewa. I hope you are well.
Que c'est beau !!! Merci Marc !!!
Beautiful playing
Neobyčejně nádherný výkon. Skvělé.
I love the way you play this piece... I'm just beginning to learn the viola, and I'm in love with this piece. Trying to play it myself, it just sounds so horrible hahah... someday, I hope to reach your level. Please keep showing us your videos. Your interpretation of this piece is my favorite from all the videos and audio I've seen and heard so far.
SUPER SUPER SUPER
Wonderful!!
La mejor interpretación de esta pieza musical, sin duda!!
Gracias !
I just watched the twosetviolin video where they attempt to play this. Just by listening to them play a bit, I could tell that this is a beautiful piece. And I wasn't disappointed. This is really brilliant. I want to find more interesting viola pieces as I've only been listening to violin stuff. Can any of you give me some recommendations?
This video is recommended to me after watching twoset newest video XD
magnifico brano, magistralmente eseguito con una interpretazione di primissimo ordine. Bravo!!!
gianfranco di lella grazie mille Gianfranco.
Grazie!
so beautiful
Magnificent!
Dear Marc, I'm professional violonist. Usually I never comment video of musician but since one week I'm listening you and you are just so musical. A true artist. And also I'm learning viola actually as my new hobby ! You have convinced me to learn this piece who is such beautiful.
All my best for your musical life,
Hildegarde
Merci beaucoup Hildegarde. J'ai aussi ecouté tes vidéos. Bravo...tu joues super bien. Peut-être nos chemins se croiseront dans le future. Good luck with viola, it's addictive. Marc
Splendide
Bravo!!!
Inspiring.
Your sound always touches deep inside me.. Wonderful Viola!
Thank you.
Bravoooo
unbelievable
Thank you
Bravo
Fabuleuse interprétation qui a touché mon cœur. On entend "juste" la musique et on oublie la technique.
Merci
Merci beaucoup !
Marc...why must you make me cry? God that was utterly gorgeous.
Shania Watts thank you Shania, good tears I hope.
Marc Sabbah
Oh they were good tears! Where is your base and do you happen to teach?
Glad to hear it. I am based in Brussels, Belgium. I do teach, both privately and at the Royal Conservatory of Mons in the south of Belgium. Are you studying at the moment?
Marc Sabbah That’s great! I am from the United States and I am currently preparing to audition for several conservatories. I’ve had the chance to work with Yizhak Schotten, Peter Slowik, Dimitri Murrath, Paul Coletti, and many others. It would be a great opportunity to work with someone like you, but obviously distance would be an issue. Where did you attend school?
Great, sounds like you're on your way! You can read all about my history at www.marcsabbah.com. I studies at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam in the Netherlands. I think Europe is a great place to make music and if you'd like, you are welcome to come audition to the conservatory where I teach now. It would be an opportunity to speak/learn french and live in Europe.
Thank you! This touched my heart :)
Bravo!
Super!!!
I guess if you practice 40 hours a day on the viola it can sound great.
Love the piece and the playing
viola gang
I am a junior in high school preparing this solo for an upcoming contest. Hope I can’t get it ready in time!
Viola God
Wow that is quite a performance. I was moved by it on RUclips. I can’t imagine what it was like in the audience. I know the trick with the Jargar A string ;). I played that Capriccio a while ago. I think I’ll have to play it again. Your viola sounds very rich, even and colourful. I would be curious to know a little bit more about it. Year maker ? Thanks. Found the answer on your website. ;)
Thanks Jonathan
Out of curiosity what's the trick with the jargar A? I've been trying to find a suitable A string to mellow the upper register of my viola (which is a lot brighter than the other strings).
Quelle performance, en live cela devait être monstrueux... félicitations de la part d'un altiste émerveillé !
Sublime! Muito sublime!
Wow
Im losing my mind over this
Ik this is a solo piece so you can me lenient on the rhythm but this dude picks the most bazaar rhythms
When did you start playing viola?
Beautiful performance! Can you please share your viola size and the luthier of it? thanks
0:57 he made that tenth-equivalent stretch look like an octave. Barely an inconvenience 😮😂
Marc: What is the make of your viola?
Alguém sabe o nome dessa obra ??
I didnt even notice this is a viola. Gosh
Er, what else could it have been? ;-)
Both the viola sound and the acoustic are excellent. Bravo!
Beautiful Marc!
I would like to play without shoulder rest, but sometimes is too much uncomfortable. You always play without it?
Thank you. Not always. Almost never :)
Bravoo *=l:-).
1:48
what is the name of the strings you use ?
I use a Jargar A string and the D,G & C strings are all Eva Pirazzi or Eva Pirazzi Gold. The Gold are not much different than the normal Eva Pirazzis, only more expensive :)
thank you
is the jargar A string better than a larson A?
Hi Eric, It really depends on your viola. I suggest you try them both and play them in for a few days as the strings change character. I feel Jargar works best on my viola.
thanks
Isnt it a real shame that most of the people listening to this are older folks?
(Don’t get me wrong, Nothing wrong with older people listening, I just wish more young people liked this instead of the brain damage inducing rubbish that’s popular today)
Terrible piece, scratchy and out of tune played.
If you can’t say anything nice, better to not say anything at all sometimes 🙃 It’s a beautiful piece played with wonderful feeling and flawless technique.
