glad to hear the performance of twoset violin audition's adjudicator! especially 2nd movement!🔥
Wooww he nailed 2nd movement better than other world class violinists!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This is a fine performance from a violinist I have not heard before. Clearly a first class talent.
!LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE!
Wow. Really awesome.
OMG the second part!
excellent
He teaches at Curtis 😅😅
Oh, that's that guy from a TSV video!
Thank God somebody has the sense to start this piece out slowly. Everybody rushes into it and it is actually quite impressionistic at the beginning. It's one of the most peaceful beginnings of any concerto: but all hell breaks loose later.
But really, this is the tempo; and I'm tired of hearing people playing it so quickly that when it gets to the fast part, they muck it up. If you have a steady slow tempo and you go at a very even pace, you're going to give the impression of more speed than you would if you were going back and forth between quick and slow and having to make up for technical problems: it's better to nail it steadily. Otherwise, it gets away from you; and the orchestra will do just that. He did a good job of setting boundaries with the orchestra and keeping the tempo.
I heard him at the Indianapolis Violin competition and he should have been in the top two contestants. It was only because they gave him an absolute idiot for a conductor who was not a conductor who got lost because he wasn't following him and he was trying to paint his own picture when it is the soloists job to paint the picture. They had a real idiot and it made him look bad which is very unfortunate. They should have disqualified that performance because of the mistake of the hired conductor and started over with the actual music director of the symphony.
And I think some Asian girl won but they're all copycats so she didn't have anything to say that hadn't been said by another violinist already. I can't tell any of the Asians apart. It's like a schizophrenic experience. They all become faceless; and I guess that's what it means to lose face in the worst possible way.
Crikey, Spielberg conducting?
nah I think 3rd violinist to the left is the real Spielberg :)
