He just ruined his beginning!!!!!!! his note frauled on the bow.... and the violin IS waaay 2 small for him, like thats a three quarter or maybe a half, and I'M ten and I have a full size, im lernin this song!!

[Ferenc1943]

I am glad that with 10 you have such good ears.Its right the 1 note was unhappy and......I wish you should play ALWAYS without any mistake. Music does not depend at 1 note...remember and practice.!!

That violin is not a 3/4 or 1/2. It's most likely a 4/4 violin. The reason it looks small is because he is a big guy. I'm not sure why you feel so special that you have a full size violin... many people do. Don't think you know everything at 10 or 11 years old because you don't.

Is it just me or is the lead violinist's violin a bit too small for him?

This video and others of the Meditation allows me to enjoy the many various styles of playing this lovely music. Although my preference is a slower Meditation, I can appreciate it this video because it allows me listen to this great music at another pace. Thanks for posting.

From a technical point of view, this is a wonderful performance. I would prefer that the piece be played a little bit slower, and more "meditatively". I felt that it was played a bit too rushed in some parts. I viewed other posting of the same piece in U tube and personally prefer the style of Nathan Milstein, Jennifer Barizo and Sarah Chang. The appreciation of music, as in all arts, is subjective and personal.

[Ferenc1943]

You are right it could be slower..

[SiegfriedHorner]

@Ferenc1943 I'm not convinced that it was "too slow". After all, it came from your heart. Thank you for the video.

This is a very nice interpretation of Thais' Meditation. His overall emotion in this piece is great, but his vibrato is drool-worthy. I am wondering what orchestra it is though.

[Ferenc1943]

The State Philharmonic Orchestra of Germany.

It was his last solo performance with exact 65 years.

Magnificent! Bravo!

[art1987]

what's the name of the orchestra?
