@Najzeko Agree with you there - he also is using a wrist vibrato instead of the violist's 'arm' vibrato. If violinists intend on transferring to the viola they should adjust their tecnique too. Two different instruments requiring different tecnique.
@Imamummy2 Keep in mind that arm vibrato isn't ESSENTIAL for a violist. Although a good viola teacher will teach arm vibrato, in the end, it is always up to the player as to which vibrato he finds more confortable.
lifeless, the phrase at about 5mins which should make the violin sound like it's laughing had no energy other than to make the violin sound like he was stabbing it with the bow!
Could someone please tell if this is the concert for Stern's 60th birthday?
And also, what kind of squeaking is that on 1.24-1.25? A bird on the recital hall perhaps? It can be audible in the CD version as well. . .And of course, their mastery is unbeatable!!!
I'm new to classical music and I never taken a music appreciation class nor do I play an instrument. Anyways, I went to a concert and listened to Lobesang (hymn of praise) by Felix Mendohlson and I notice one set of violonist or, violist was facing the audience and the other were facing away. Is it like lead guitarist and rhythm guitarist? Ones facing the audience were the lead and the ones with the backs toward the audience were providing background?
Right on smexymusician! I was somewhat taken aback to see such pedestrian comments vis a vis this performance of Stern and Perlman by spongey. But just as he judged the validity of the music, likewise his critique will be liked by some and not by others. (But I'll bet that those who liked his comments also believe that Lloyd-Webber's "Phantom of the Opera" is REALLY an opera! LOL!)
I like this "pair"! Very different players but still so good toghether. Although I am in in love with perlman/zukerman duo...
On the other hand I cannot stand Mehta, not as a conductor not as a human being, an incredibly arrogant person, it's hard to believe him and perlman being part of the same musical universe....
calinoma, what are you talking about? a wrong note is an insult to the composer! they are not part of the music in any way. i see that you were trying to be deep and poetic... but you must play every note on the page and what you do with those notes is music. an artist has no right to change notes. true, mistakes are human, but they are not music. at all.
calinoma... honey, out of tune notes are unacceptable anywhere. they may or may not destroy a performance, but do detract from it. true mistakes will be made, but let's not cross the line and call it music. especially wrong notes. tgose are never acceptable.
Um I do. I'm not saying it's good but If you go to see a world-class artist in a renowned venue with a renowned conductor and orchestra, I don't expect to hear any squeaks--it just surprised me that's all.
even the best make mistakes. i was at a concert with the oregon symphony once where the pianist played the last note of the entire piece out of tune by a half step and the artist still got a standing ovation. mistakes are just part of the music; not the music written on the page, but the human part of it.
mistakes aren't part of the music, sure everyone makes them, and mistakes are human, but music is not meant to have mistakes, if it was then it would be written like that. It is written to be played how it was written, to express the inexpressable. Not to have a "human" part of it. It's meant to take you off into another land somewhere far far away.
I have to disagree with you there spongey. Music is all about inserting a human aspect into it. Most music out there, that is considered to be beautiful, has changes in it by a human counterpart. The human part is what makes music "music". There is very few musicians out there who play exactly what is written.

Pleased to listen Maestro Stern, how he is relax when performing. It is also nice to see young Zuckerman whom now he is playing more sophisticated like Stern. Regarding Conductor Mehta he was really young at his carriere, Tks them.
Beautiful performance from two of the greatest XX century's greatest violinists. They are up there with Heifetz in terms of extending the old technique into newer ones...(which are theoretically supposed to be older ones - but NONE of these ppl have read Leopold Mozart)----- haha
... are you kidding me ? what credentials do you have to assert something like that ? and please tell me then, who's is better ? and also tell me how you know exactly how mozart wanted this to be played.
for those of you "OMG HE DOESN'T PLAY IT LIKE A REAL VIOLIST"...you're probably right...b/c he actually plays the viola well...ami right? ami right?...WOOT
I'm a violinist. I'm curious, what exactly is the different approach violists take? It seems to me that violists more frequently play on (not just near) the fingerboard and they hold their violas more towards the front (instead of more to the side like violinists do). If that's the case, then Zukerman does indeed play like a violinist. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, it's too generalized. I don't like saying there's one way to play or another. Zukerman is a great violist and nobody should doubt that. The differences are more in literally how you draw the sound sometimes especially on the C and G. Another big big big difference is fingerings. Viola we tend to use a lot of more open strings when appropriate. I've heard many Zukerman recordings and almost all violists who record and really he's one of the best easily.
and just to clarify this (for everyone not directed at one person)... he is a violist... and he is a violinist. First and foremost he is a musician. Barenboim said: "What can I do to make music, instead of what can I do to make my violin sound good"
That has to be one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard. There are obviously many talented violists, else there would be a dearth of traditionally "classical" recordings: I doubt a symphony would sound very good if a significant portion of the string section were filled with unskilled players.
u noe personally i like heifetz and primrose version of this.however with no doubt this is also an amazing performance.plus zukerman rocks at viola. id actually prefer him above all violist today.but then again this is jus my opinion^^
OK I got a couple of things. The song is titled Sinfonia Concertante , not Sinfonia Concerto. But I have this whole concert on VHS and I used to watch it every day I love it so much. I always laugh at the Oboe player at 2:15, but as comedian Eddie Izzard put, "Playing the Oboe is like trying to blow through a weasel." This is a great video to take notes from and as a performer of this song (I played the viola solo) I can tell you this video is an essential to a successful performance.
