Bruch Violin Concerto with Youth Symphony

[classifieds103]

I'm not going to point out the obvious intonation mistakes he made, they were few, but I think it was probably a bad case of stage fright. I mess up my intonation when I'm nervous too! It's all about the experience. I think he was very musical, though at times it seemed like his movements were more musical than his actual playing. I didn't really hear much variation in the color of his playing. otherwise I see potential! Just more practice and solo experience. He's on his way!

Wonderful! This violinist certainly has a future!



[89kamanda]

He was 15. Give him a break. I used to know him in person and I think he's an amazing violinist!!

I wish I got to play in a symphony like that. How many violins is that? My orchestra has 4.

@AdvocateToTheAccuser WICH ORCHESTRA???????????that is so small:)

[sofiamacht]

Yay awesome job! I'm playing the first movement of this piece right now. What a great opportunity to play with orchestra in such a nice hall. Your performance was really musical and solid!

[MrJcorona89]

This was a decent performance, the soloist was O.K., as someone mentioned before, he was good at keeping it cool when he would play the wrong notes. I think that this performance would have been a lot better if the orchestra would have played in tune, and if the director would have ballanced the orchestral parts better, i thought that the horns were loud at times. Other than that, good job.

The orchestra... ouch LOL. they made some climactic moments a little painful. But good job to the soloist. The intonation is tricky for everyone and he has so much poise to get over mistakes quickly. Keep at it!

[luckixlino]

felt slightly below tempo

it is a difficult piece for a student

[wattamara]

some problems of intonation??? he has a lot of hard work to do

[triBond151]

@wattamara yes, he does.....like all of us...it is probably just nerves.

He has a good bow hand and control, also great passion...all though the speed made it rather boring...not his fault:)

[WaltersQuincy]

He's so comfortable on stage, it is really remarkable!

[schmidty2007]

I think he did an incredible job, it takes a lot of time and devotion to be a good violinist, I only wish I had more time to practice as I am currently working on the first movement of this piece. As for anyone who says "nothing exceptional" post yourself doing it first, then you can say it's nothing exceptional :)

[noxrubbish]

its nothing exceptional. Mine isn't either, but I can say such because I posted my version

[befranklintoo]

frankly stiff. school correct,other than that nothing

exceptional.

[hkobb7]

Not wearing full tux cuz he a soloist. Their uniform code is a little more relaxed than for the orch.

Your untidy=my artistic

[Jazzwerx]

Why is he not wearing his full tuxedo? He almost looks untidy.

[PiercingtheSnowdrift]

I can imagine he didn't want to get too sweaty from that burning tuxedo.

[bountyhanz]

Hiow old was he?

[sijas]

i know him in person

he was a freshmen in highschool.

[fellk]

very awesome!

[ThaSchwab]

The first few solo notes were a little off, but the rest was fabulous.

[thehackrz]

this piece was a little above his level...

[cchamp27]

They could have given him less room, his tone could have been scratchier, and everyone's intonation could be a little worse

[maychu031]

no esta mal..

obvio q puede hacerlo MUCHO PERO MUCHO mejor..le falta..

pero ya esta re dicho, q toque eso, ya es un grande :)

[sashaj1024]
