Maria Florea plays Mendelssohn Concerto in France Part 1

[zacretz]

nice but children should be chosen carefully their repertoire because at certain ages you play only the notes on the score and not the music and the feelings of a great masterpiece such as this one. Good job Maria!

[cbloom1991]

@zacretz totally disagree i think children can play master pieces with feeling...actually they give music a purity that adults cannot because the latter is sullied whereas children are pure . How can you say that children lack feeling for goodness sake mendelssohn himself was child when he composed things...sorry rant over

[IADNOVAVIDA]

Lindo, Lindo,Lindo!!!

[hitekese]

Bravo!

[longtalker]

Ce frumos canta, bravo Maria!

[OriginalMoonbeam]

Keep up the good work! A promising violinist

[curchaco]

She'splaying so god but the orchestra WFT!! 1:40 no time no metronom nothing!And if somebody play with any famous instrument...

[Gogulancelot]

Bravo Maria ! un mare artist asteapta se se faca cunoscut intregii lumi !

[powerstring]

Well, not bad, but nothing special... In Eastern Europe there are thousands of children playing better. And 13-14 years old. This Mendelssohn is out of tune, vibrato is allways the same, dynamic, no sensibillity...

[demonhunter191]

That may be true, but why don't you try playing in front of a live audience. She was probably just really nervous. I could tell because in the high, long notes (particularly the harmonic A) her hands were shaking.

[powerstring]

my job is to play in front of a live audience.

and i don't have to explain my opinions

[OriginalMoonbeam]

and there is always the first time or two that the person appears before an audience--and some people are more comfortable than others. A person who performs knows this and has discernment. Everyone has to learn and develop their own coping skills regarding performance-each individual will learn this at their own speed. She did a fine job and get more and more comfortable in front of an audience, as she does her performances will get even better.

[amehoelahoep]

this piece is a lot about emotion, which she puts into it a lot. From your comment it's clear that you aren't sensitive enough to feel the true emotion that she emits through her violin. She's good!

[powerstring]

hahaha, fantastic, buy her CD then and leave me alone

[powerstring]

and you don't know a shit about how sensitive I am

[amehoelahoep]

Well, in any case you're overly sensitive for criticism. Work on it...And try not to seek attention when you want to be left alone...;)

[nbaballer8227]

she is playing on a Gesu? nice.

[elisabeth717]

This girl has future!!!

[elisabeth717]

well played

[th0ma5laxc]

the orchestra is actually not that great sounding. there were just a few places that the winds were not in tune with each other

[ellis1101]

Which orchestra is that?? And how did you get such an amazing opportunity??

[xBNHx]

Hola Maria, enhorabuena! dónde has estudiado?

[schnukkel2]

nice

[pinkfloydislove25]

a wonderful piece played by a wonderful Violinist! Bravo!

[mgschao]

wow!

[YatchCity]

I hear the start and I know it is akin to Menuhin...

[Nate235057]

could show a bit more emotion, but well played!

[winrx]

What a lucky young lady you are to play on a fine Cremonese instrument - but well deserved, of course!

[felipeharder]

Hey Maria...

Excuse me for having spoken that whole nonsense. You play very well, you have a lot of talent. You have a great future for the front. Success!

My sincere apologies...

I thought for a minute that was the strad ex-Grumiaux, but now I realise this the Graurnerius one. I think its enough praise that her playing kind of reminds me of him. Franco-Belgian school all the way.
