Shlomo Mintz: Four Seasons Autumn II. Adagio molto

[0932486509]

This is the biggest musical shock I've had in a long time. Simply stunning!

[eyknir]

you know, I usually LOVE shlomo mintz, but his bow changes are messy. i could just be a little snobby because this is my absolute favorite movement in the four seasons, but i feel like he definiely could have had more bow control.

what kind of IDIOT coughs during a performance like this? could he not hold it back or at least subdue it? what a jerk. the most solemn and beautiful segment of the piece and he HORKS. i hope his wife bitch -slapped him.

[StanEvalio]

it sounds shit with dambed cembalo... =/

[kitkat4261690]

i like this movement, it's so depressing.

[tamargreenstein]

i have the entire concert on a cd

it sound a little better their...

probably because they cut of the noise from the crowd...

when was this preformed?

[Webarton]

well the concert was pretty straight forward, is stepped outside, alone, just him and his violin and bow, and just played each caprice one by one tuning and warming up his fingers between every few, i think he replayed one of them again at the end after 24, but i forgot which one wait lemme find it and ill link it, there was a 20 minute break in between, thats about it.

[pppsssssssss]

Amazing! thanks for the description!

[Webarton]

yes, it WAS it was AWESOME!!! i was in awe the whole time, thing is, i actually am good friends with one of his sons and i sort of know his family so... yeah it was cool

[pppsssssssss]

that's amazing! I have his paganini 24 caprices recording from 1989 or whatever year it was recorded and it's so unbelievable.

I am incredibly jealous of you!

can you describe the concert to me? were there any encores?

[Webarton]

i just saw him in carnegie hall like 10 hrs ago it was unbelievable

[pppsssssssss]

You'RE SO LUCKY!
