DAVID GARRETT - Violin Concerto (Bach) - Mannheim

[Eleonorevonhofmann]

David, entschuldige, ich fand die Andante im Gegensatz zum Violinkonzert sehr schwer! Sind natürlich zwei unterschiedliche Stücke und vielleicht so von Bach gewollt! Ich möchte ja nichts Dummes sagen, naja Du weißt das am besten! Ist aber immer ein großes Glück, Dich hören und sehen zu dürfen, und das ohne, daß ich so weit reisen muß! Tschüssi! Dagmar.

This makes me want to go back in time to the 1700's, put on a ball gown and DANCE with a guy who has a ponytail:)

[dosergiobr]

Bach is the best anyone can play

[vandijkav]

Ability to make the violin talk

[firestartertwistedfi]

it's a bit aggressive for my taste

[masael255]

@firestartertwistedfi Agreed. It's not that he's bad just very...romantic for a baroque piece. Which would be fine if the rest of the ensemble was playing the same way.

[weirdyist]

It seems someone is jealous of this performance..:)

[barbara4221]

Astounding!

[vidividividi100]

I am grade 10 violinist and I have to say this guy is the best violinist I have ever seen in my life his tone is perfection.

[firestartertwistedfi]

@ledzeppelin104 try itzhak perlman

[rstarjones]

@ledzeppelin104 Keep watching other violinists... lol! Don't stop with this guy. There are so many amazing violinists out there. :)

[Pneumoggen]

he is so an amazing violinist.... i would die to play like him ;)

[thehobbitwaffle]

He really makes the violin sing. Fantastic to listen to.

[tanjavioline]

@thehobbitwaffle I think the microphone makes the violin sing. He playes so extremely boring and bored that i just wonder how he can be that famous. Don't be impressed so easily people! It may be that he has a lot more to offer but he just shits on the audience and the music here. If you would here it recorded on a normal stage without all the different cameras you wuldn't like it that much anymore. I'm quite sure

[thehobbitwaffle]

@tanjavioline *sigh* Yes, just assume I have no musical background and that I am easily impressed. Could you take your sanctimonious snobbery somewhere else? You'll find you'll rarely win a fight about something as open to interpretation as musical ability. If you don't like it, don't watch it.

[MyGreecegirl]

oh ok, thank you :)

[MyGreecegirl]

can somebody explain to me what is this thing hanging from his ear? I hope ....he didn't play with his ....i-pod hanging there ( i expect everything from him ....)

[TanteLuel81]

This is an In-Ear-Monotoring. All the musicians in this vid, also the orchestra, have this kind of headphones so that they all can hear each other play. That's totally normal for a rock/crossover concert :)

[theviolinsrose]

Thank you so much for this interesting info:-)

[tanjavioline]

@MyGreecegirl In his ear he heres the other musicians and himself on stage. On such a stage with so much microphones you otherwise don't here yourself and the others in real time any more.

[HahnPotterishFowlnut]

I prefer Hilary Hahn's and Julia Fischer's versions.

[nenuka1022]

everything he plays even the old or new seems to be brought to life i love how he plays its so so so

bad a55 ~!

[katyfel]

even this really classical piece in every repertoire gets a very individual touch when he's playing it...

awesome!
