total power house.

If you watch the gentleman behind Giora you can tell where there's supposed to be an accent because he bops his head.

Rarely seen such a beautiful interaction between a Soloist, Conductor and Orchestra. Giora has such a wonderful talent and plays this Concerto with such passion. A pleasure to watch and listen to. Thank you.

How'd they get Dick Cheney in the 2nd violins there!?

[queenastilon]

Wonderful!

Giora really makes that thing sing, and Itkin conducts to accompany beautifully without trying to outshine.

This is probably the only classical piece that can bring tears to my eyes, and not from any associations but just from the music itself.

[Hachechulo]

Amazing bow arm.

[siothekhim]

very much liked the interpretation, expression, sound quality. Conductor and smiling orchestra members also terrific.

[love88keys]

he looks like he is having fun playing this piece and the audience certainly liked him! they couldn't keep from applauding at the end of the movement.

[TheAngel922]

this is so beautiful. great job, giora.

[universalexprts]

he plays with such style. it's intoxicating...

[potatochip951]

@universalexprts Yes. The bow technique, the stance, the facial expressions -- all adds that something special that makes his performance of this one of my absolute favorites
