Ivry Gitlis - Bloch 'Nigun' - Baal Shem Suite

[SomeAnimeOtaku]

stunning..

[bleach3292]

i think that this melody contains so many things that its not by accident that most of the people who did cover for this are old . young man/lady cant play this melody with the passion it deserves .

[epessina]

Anne Marie VERA, piano

[albertcombrink]

Does anyone have a VIOLA transcription of this piece? Or know where I can find one? albertcombrink@worldonline.co.­za

[miriamnz]

I'd love to see him playing the rest of this suite........ one piece has me famished for more.

[klausknulp]

he plays very hot!

[angelika9060]

why do people always write, that this performance is amazing for his age.. you barely find people that can play like this in there best age.. he's a master..

[henrykkingdom]

the best Bloch Nigun from Baal Shem

[Yeshulion]

I listen to other interpretations. I CAN NOT find anything so great as this one.

[arkhatych]

Very Charming!

[dkurgano]

one of a kind

[nastiks2008]

I play this song :P only 50 second

[billyguns2]

Where was this filmed? It seems to be the same location that was used in the film LE MAITRE DE MUSIQUE.

[spdlight7]

inspiring, i wish violinist start dressing like he does here, makes more sense, it is more comfortable to play than using the stupid tuxedo

[jonatanblack01]

@spdlight7 amen. i HATEEEEE the tuxedo and suits

[Yeshulion]

I can't get enough of Ivry Gitlis. Fantastic. I love it.

[snoopy1994q]

震憾!

[jorgeliebermann]

No se debe ofender comparando "Nigun" de Bloch,con un tango argentino.Muy bueno Gitlis,mas no piensa en tangos...!

Jorge Liebermann (argentino)

[zuzanazuzanita]

que expresividad... genial Giltis es bárbaro!

[kysiokow]

It's like tango argentino... :)

[danviolco01]

Su version es unica!! una obra maestra!

[muslit]

Great for any age. Amazing for 87!!

[fiddlinmatt]

this is amazing

[sinigrilli]

A genius playing a masterpiece...

[dandelioncuckoo]

mindblowing

[orffito]

Que maestraso es el señor Gitlis, es de lo ultimo bueno del siglo 20 queda, de la generacion de oro de los violinitas.

Viva el maestro Gitlis

[19931409]

Fresh... soo fresh man.

[MeztizaAngie]

I would love to see him; he plays with such emotion.

[tlapicka]

great!

[fiddlinmatt]

One of the greats. So wonderful that he can still play so FINE at his age. I mean SO FINE.

[albarrakaka]

wow

[Leibik]

Great Artist!

I remember his great performance in Moscow(about 40 years ago)

[lakifre]

I wish I wd have been there

[lakifre]

'tain, j aimerais trop voir une video de Gitlis jouant le concerto N°1 de Paganini, personne a ça en magasin ??

[dulcevibrato]

this piece seems to be composed just for him Simply fantastic.

[gxshere]

Everything he plays seems written just for him.

[Damiano1990]

Ivry Gitlis has a fantastic padronance of this kind of music... This piece looks written just for him! I enjoyed that.

Thanks for sharing

[marigold1230]

it's amazing!!! he's amazing!!! very comical but serious playing :)

he's French? I'm assuming from the amount of french comments there are??

awesome guy!!!

xx

[stradivari147]

Hey There! Actually Ivry is from Israel, born in in Haifa, from Russian Parents, however he lives in Paris now. Quite brilliant...isn't he?

[marigold1230]

wow, sounds exciting!!

[moline32]

Malheuresement Ivry Gitlis tombe dans une musicalité jouée de façon trop caricaturale. Une petite pensée pour la pianiste également qui a l'air d'avoir du mal à suivre parfois un rythme qui n'existe pas.

[segattacicova]

Moi je trouve que la pianiste se debrouille très bien à suivre un ritme qui - hereusement - n'existe pas. Ce morceau est une improvisation, pas un étude de technique.

Je trouve ca superbe!

[moline32]

Coucou! Il y a quand même un minimum à tenir... je ne dis pas de tenir le rythme avec un métronome! mais de ne pas non plus verser dans une exagération trop sordide!!!

[violinchick25]

Oui, son rhythme est un peu... libre, mais il est si vieux!

[utubegeek17]

leave it to a viola to say something like that about Gitlis.

A hymn to G-d should be the most personal thing ever.

[Hesbridy]

everyone is entitled to their opinion, only isnt taste (interpretation) something different then opinion?

Anyway, im glad god isnt only perceived through your church :-)

[bega0033]

FANTASTIC!!!

[Duchounette]

Moi je trouve cela très joli !

[jeannevdb]

very beautiful..

[mshakhz]

Unbelievable!

He's very old on this video and still he has so much passion, so much energy - just listen to his vibrato!

[henrykkingdom]

he is the best on Bloch 'Nigun'

[christianocrr]

Ivry Gitlis is a diferent violin player, GREAT!

[michaharan]

Ivry is always exciting to listen to and watch. Where was this filmed and who is that good looking pianist?

[casalsfan]

Don't have any idea where that was performed, but it kinda looks like Navah Perlman at the piano. I've played with her twice, but it's been a few years, so I could be wrong.

[macapo]

C'est un assemblage mou, d'emprunts a St-Saens, Sarasate, au folklore roumain. Sans interet!!!

[zeppelinplusacdc]

Simply Amazing....and when Ivry does it, even more

[bluedoughnuts]

Very grand, thankyou.

[woll2502]

Totally Gitlis's way of playing,awsome!His tone like his age which is full of depth, I like he slide bow over the finger board intentionally to create roughness and colourful sond.

[macapo]

Je repete: pas interessant.

[zeppelinplusacdc]

Mais oui! c'est Tres interessant. C'est magnifique.

[rsagala]

wow! this is deep MAESTRO GITLIS!

[1singlet]

It's the first time I've heard this piece, and I am without words. Thank you so much!

[commandercool069]

dayum

[adamwas]

It took place in 2000's sometime - 2003 or 4 - Yes I do believe Gitlis is still performing and giving concerts - amazing for a man who is over 80!

[MitzvaMobile]

@adamwas chazak! 

[Smalskin]

@MitzvaMobile UBuruch!

[erruworld]

@adamwas i was on his concert in Estonia this summer , it was amazing , i enjoyed it so much !! :D

[Brink0War]

nigun is my nysma piece this year

[carloslaran]

the most soulful rendition ive heard.

[gxshere]

Thanks for the video. Where/when did this take place, and do you know if Gitlis is still performing?

[sadella]

He is...And he has just made a new CD with 24 tracks he performed 30 years ago....and which weren't out yet...There's also a new DVD...
