did you guys know that Shostakovitch played the cello?

[46anna1995]

This is the definition of perfection. Holy...

[Ignaviolaes]

it was awesome. Amazing clarity, amazing musicality. Incredible player.

[tlcooper93]

This is perfect. Best version of the second movement i've heard.

I wrote a Concertino for Viola and strings

Download the video to watch it.

Perhaps because it has 12 minutes in HQ, the video does not play entirely in the related page, but if you download it, it comes complete.

Schidlof said, Walton wanted this tempo and it was still too slow for him.

Was the composer wrong?

[proagarg]

It's amazing how the soloist is able to use the ENTIRE bow as he plays

[LOTViolists]

FAST =D So fun!

[DhAoS1020]

Also, the clarity of which he plays at this speed is INCREDIBLE. I LOVE IT!

[Amiduffer]

@DhAoS1020 Thanks. 

[DhAoS1020]

I like 0:40 o.o Bashmet doesn't do that. That's really awesome.

[xujam]

@DhAoS1020 But Bashmet has a much better intonation, phrasing and controls the beauty of tone and timbre of his instrument perfectly, this guy sounds like a car horn in the lower register and a rooster in the high one...

[Amiduffer]

@xujam Music shouldn't be treated like a boxing event.
