As a professional concert violist, to me, this is THE finest interpretation of this work. I have listened and studied others. However, I find this version convincing and excitingly alive! TRUE VIRTUOSIC PERFORMANCE! It didn't put me to sleep and I agreed with the audience - I wanted more.

[@LauraMenegozzo]

Viola Bear 🐻 I think exactly the same! He is simply the best violist in the world

Yuri's playing often make me chill and feel anxiety. Maybe this is why the piece and his style perfectly matches here 👍

[@kodama44]

100% agreed! What a great interpretation and performance!
There was a similarly good(exciting and thrilling) performance live by him and Collin Davis and Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra also in early '80s which i heard on radio; have it recorded on a cassette tape and still keep it today...Microphone is not so near to the viola as this and has more of the hall tone, and accompaniment has more resonance (Great Hercules Saal!). As is always with Sir Collin, there is a touch of grace added...pity that it could be seen/heard nowhere...
(lucky me , hehehe)

Even bashmet can’t play this intune.

[@alexloscertales278]

Bravo!!!! Bravo!!!! Viva,la Cultura!!!

[@avatarlilacwolf]

I😍 Love❤️ Viola🎻

[@remomazzetti8757]

This is the standard completion by Tibor Serly who orchestrated Bartok's 13 pages of continuous short score draft which contains few but significant indications of the intended orchestration.

[@GabrielClair-ms1xg]

Muchas gracias a todos!!

[@williemartinez7392]

great!! is hard find bashmet playing bartok in youtube(sorry my english) I wish someday someone upload walton played by bashmet

[@people_culture]

Listen to 1994 recording of Walton concerto by Yuri Bashmet - the best

[@williemartinez7392]

In youtube?

[@people_culture]

Willie Martinez find some torrents for example rutracker

[@giliradian-sade2192]

same channel uploded it last April: ruclips.net/video/ccQF31vO7y8/видео.html

[@ADGO]

Yes the Walton video is uploaded now.

[@gerardbegni2806]

Sritcly speaking, this concerto caanot be concidered as a work by Bela Bartok. He died leaving only sketches, which were ordred and completed by his puul Serly. Anyhaw, it is a very beautiful work.

[@Bratschector]

Gérard Begni But I think that the viola part was entirelly written by Bartók. The orchestration, however, was not written by him

[@maikebrummer6182]

Actually no. The viola part was also not completed. Some pieces were even written in f-clef, so they tried a version for cello too. It was really little what Bartok gave to the afterworld

[@manosymind3057]

absolutely Bartok, and 🔥 Bashmet , making the Serly version work

[@Kshaka]

Let's be honest, your here because of 17:09 to 17:22. Change my mind.

Sachin Shukla lol

[@gabegalley6879]

Agreed!! Also, what are the chances that I should find a fellow BoIt TV fan in the comments section of a Bartok Viola Concerto performance?? 😂

[@savagegxldyt1569]

It’s very good but it sounds so sad at the beginning 😢😭😭😭😢

[@steveegallo3384]

SavageGxldYT -- True...Deep melancholia...suddenly leavened by exuberance. Cheers from Acapulco!

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Sounds like his Intonation is good

[@juanjosenamnuntavarez7553]

Muy bien, muy bien.

[@Celieta169]

Oh my goodness

[@ViolaKim_RCtv]

13:11~26:47 2,3

[@erikwhitesides]

it sounds like they amplified him a little with those microphones

[@SputnikSweethearrt]

Erik K. Whitesides as most microphones are generally used for

[@williemartinez6273]

What happened with the bashmet -walton I cannot find

[@liamneville6487]

I didn't realise someone had taken it down so quickly! It was a real treat!!! Luckily my friend saved it to his computer so we might be able to upload it again :)

[@christianbrodiez5287]

Ce concert est véritablement un incunable , car on y voit Bashmet jouer avec un orchestre russe et sans partition , cet ingrat concerto de Bartok pour alto ; il n'y a guère que Tabéa Zimmermann pour l'égaler .

Le doy un like

[@themanamana81]

Dynamic? wtf?

[@pth7780]

Dumb camera angles!!

[@philslife1]

Very fast and nervous vibrato which bothers me greatly, otherwise , fine playing.

[@Yuzurea]

Phil Lowry I think it fits the character of the piece ironically enough

[@pauldavies8535]

Tabea Zimmerman is better!
