Giora Schmidt | Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto | 1st mvt. (Part 1)

[kimhgs]

I got to see Giora Schmidt perform this live in Halifax 2 nights ago!

It was amazing.. 3 standing ovations and an encore of Bach's Andante in A minor.

[Tenorgeiger]

Good ballsy masculine sound there, Giora! I love it!

[G3R4LDK4RN1]

BEAUTIFUL

une merveille d'entre les merveilles

[ErikaRagazzi]

Very nice

[brunbratsche]

The guy is very good, but the orchestra out of tune in some places

[ricachu0125]

aaargh, i watch this several times but i was always awed by his awesomeness!!! >:D i wish i could like him someday!! :))

[ricachu0125]

Schmidt always have a great sound with him!! gorgeous tchaikovsky! :D

[Pariah186]

Agree with jtrstrings. Absolutely gorgeous and played with passion and total commitment. The body language says it all.

[swimfish17]

hes not very musical... 

[ViolinMasterTim]

Giora really does an outstanding job in his performance of this concerto. What great tone, such a singing quality and musical direction. Wonderful!

[PositivelyEmerald]

First violist. WHAT are you even doing.

Do you kiss you're mother with that vile mouth?

[jtrstrings]

Gorgeous interpretation of such a difficult concert to play and teach to students. Stunning violinist who should be recognized more!

Who could possibly dislike this video!!

[BiomekanikSok]

the best

[sibelvio1]

dude, this guy is beast. ive been sitting here waiting for a screw up and he keeps playing all the awkward shifts and notes really really well. his interpretative ability/phrasing is also fantastic. he has articulated parts of this concerto that i have never heard! not to mention that he is a lot of fun to watch

[Hachechulo]

Schmidt is amazing in spite of this orchestra. They and the sound engineer who mic-ed this performance should be shunned by their respective villages.

[benjerrylover]

what's with the first violist??? crossing your legs? REALLY? so unprofessional!

[anaman07]

wow the orchestra is not very good- at all. Sloppy. Well props to Giora for not getting distracted or annoyed. haha

[revivingcontemporary]

Great tone. I love it.

[cellospot]

Oh wow, I've never heard of this guy before, but he has a gorgeous sound!! He will go far!

[14Arya14]

i give props to you schmidt

[14Arya14]

i give props to you schmidt

[KosteckiAdam]

Very good!

[strgaltdel]

stop imitating zukerman!!! be yourself!!!

[universalexprts]

If you actually listen to Zukerman's recording you'll hear two completely different interpretations, not to mention the fact that Zukerman plays this concerto at a faster tempo than this artist. It's very unattractive when people bad mouth talented artists out of jealousy.

[cazam]

shut up

[song54234]

The violinist is not that good because i see him skipping some notes but which is pivotal. However, i loved the orchestra. I think the director wanted to make the song softer than the original version of the Tchaikovsky. well done.

[Jeremyamoto]

Try not to miss the forest for the trees...

Frankly, it was brilliant. Gorgeous sound, great technique. A few missed notes do not ruin this genuine performance when listening to an artist of this caliber. Overall, one of my favorite interpretations of the piece.

That Guadagnini sure sings!

[ItzhakRoxMySox]

@song54234 Oh whatever, you must not know who this violinist is then. Giora Schmidt is is a first rate violinist throughout the world.

[paulyps]
