[daniel3231995]

Can anyone explain to me how this piece is supposed to recall the image or sound like a Chinese tambourine?Or why this piece is named after it?

CHINGON

[epiluvscat]

violin sounds muted.

strange.

[SSHIBAL99]

turn the volume on

[marioantonandreu]

Hagai and Gil Shaham are not related, even though they're friends. Hagai teaches at USC, in Los Angeles.

[CaixaDeSol]

We need more of Hagai's videos! =D He's my favorite violinist and I barely get to see videos of him. <3

[GEEZER666666]

He's playing it so quickly that he is 'skipping' some notes, that's a shame. I like Vengerov better on this piece.

Shaham is a great musician though, I used to have a cd of him playing Ernest Blochs Baal Shem and Suite Hebraique, I just listened to it over and over again :)

[musicaclassica2007]

Pls consider also the quality and abilities of the used sound file to deliver all nuances in such speed

[musicaclassica2007]

It is not him skipping. He does not skip a "pips." It is the video and streaming quality. The music is too quick. You should hear him live and directly

[closetviolinist]

I wouldn't blame you at all for loving Vengerov's version, but I don't think skipping notes is necessarily an endictment of bad playing. The greats do it all the time in order to preserve rhythmic pulse and musical line. Shaham so beautifully captures the spirit of this piece, and besides, don't you love the notes he adds? Cool left hand pizz in the middle section . . .

[violin614]

The violinist in this video is hottt???

[lordwilton1742]

Good performance. Bothe technically and musically. Does he have any relationship with Gil Shaham?? Brother or something? just I wondered.

[adidas01003]

I think Gil Shaham only has a sister.

[amati2009]

He hasn't, my mom has played with his brother who is also a violinist. I am not sure if this is him or not...but he is fantastic!

[violin614]

I thought it to be obvious that it's the same person.

[cromulentinnoc3nce]

No, they are not closely related.

[timpintan]

i know for sure they are not related.

everyone thinks that they are, but they'r not!

[Tower212]

absolutely fantastic. Well performed

[BenChanViolin]

Wow, great video! I watched this video in preparation for my own rendition (search "Ben Chan Kreisler Tambourin"), so thank you for posting it! YouTube has been a great source of aid in my current efforts as an upcoming professional soloist!

[rosegirl85]

where did he played this? tel aviv? i can see mr. weinstein in the audience :)

[ChildsUnited]

This is my new favourite piece by Kreisler.

[takamori400]

Yes, this is my favorite as well. I love Kreisler; he is a wonderful violinist and wrote a lot of beautiful music. He was a medical doctor, so he was smart as well!! And, he looks like a very nice gentleman.

[woll2502]

I supose this is best reccent playing in youtube.

[DevilViolinist]

I need to find a MIDI of this!!!

[daaegal]

[daaegal]

[wubbie12]

I play the violin myself, but the cello is also a great instrument.
