Aaron Rosand plays Tchaikovsky (vaimusic.com)

[McSplat]

I would let the piano player fuck the shit out of me.

[IcarusDrowning88]

@McSplat Bends you over* Boy, he's going to nail you like a split hog.

[jimipage6662]

Espero poder tocar así algún día...

[mightysmeagol]

The king of Venice ; such a elegance, such tone !!!

[taiwan886]

not bad, Prof. Rosand. But, if you wanna hear this piece played by an artist listen to Ivry Gitlis play it.

[OniNoYami]

And now I need this piece so that I can learn to play it as well. Though I doubt I'll ever be as good as him. It's good to dream, at least.

[landolfiman]

A beautiful performance full of color and nuance. The vibrato is fine- appropriate to the style and sentiment of the piece and perfectly complimentary to the portamenti he uses.

[Nijiyume]

I like him..

[cageynerd]

Aaron Rosand becomes the toast of the town at Curtis after two of his students win the Paganini and the Queen Elisabeth Competitions (two of the three major competitions for violin), and another taking the Michael Hill Competition. Crazy year for him...

[rollerblade004sa]

[Glivity]

beautiful! thanx 4 sharin

[lepamplemousse]

J'ai acheté la partition chez International Music Company (New York); il manque la moitié du morceau...

[erickhoffmann]

Fantastic!!!!!!!

[sitavdb]

about the vibrato... i don't think it matters whether it's slow or fast, as long u play with your heart.. this performance really touches me and somehow it makes me think of very pleasant memories...

[aomizuro]

a mi me encanto asuu esta presioso me hizo recordar jajaja

[Draziw777]

Look at Ivry Gitlis interpretation of this piece. Rosand is good but Gitlis is the best.

[ItzhakRoxMySox]

Oh HELL yes.

[taiwan886]

Gitlis....genius. Rosand....anti-shoulder rest musical dictator.

[violatione]

@taiwan886 I believe you! I performed with him once and I could totally see that. I wouldn't want to actually study with him. But it would be great to be able to ask him for demonstrations.

[HuangKaiVun]

I love the "sentimental" feeling that Rosand brings to this waltz.

My only beef is that the recording engineer put too much reverb into this recording. I got to hear Rosand's tone on that 1741 Guarnerius when he taught me years ago, and his natural sound is beautiful enough as it is without any artifical enhancement.

[danielelpaisa]

i saw him today at University of Miami , and he is just amazing !!! my respect .

[Fishfuckmagician]

This is the first song I learned to play on violin (I've played many other string instruments, so it wasn't that hard.)

[nattyv911asdf]

Wow, what a great song, I am learning this on the cello, and Rosand is such an inspiration

[govibe]

a really great tone

[stephenTGV]

Superb. One of the greatest violinists of our time, with a velvet tone.

[concertolover81291]

HAHAH.

[vlnking]

He has an old person's vibrato. Much too slow.

[govibe]

a hummingbird vibrato is not needed in this type of piece...

[govibe]

szeryng also had slow vibrato

[vlnking]

yes to some extent I think you are right (especially when he got older). I don't think he went too wide. Speed and width are two completely different things I think.

[govibe]

and how exactly is a fast vibrato needed for this piece?

[vlnking]

I could ask the same thing, how exactly is a wide vibrato appropriate for this piece?

[govibe]

"I could ask the same thing, how exactly is a wide vibrato appropriate for this piece?"

OK, so why does the vibrato speed matter at all then? Fast vibrato sounds like someone with a nervous problem.

[Violinfanatic]

I love slow vibrato. Fast vibrato sounds like someone with a nervous problem. I think slow vibrato better imitates the human voice of a great singer, which every violinist tries to emulate.
