I had been listening to the four last songs of Strauss before the Mahler popped up for viewing. I didn't look at the title, forgetting it was the Mahler. I was just responding to your snarky assault. However, I can tell you that the interpretation IS spiritual in her delivery. It was a spiritual ...

And please tell us, what does the acronym TED stand for or mean ? Thank you.

The only thing lacking is a cigarette hanging out of her mouth and a beer bottle behind her....or a mixed drink glass.............

Only Hollywood could RUIN the ending. It ends in peace, not in fanfare.

The only two things bothering me is that his glissandos are a bit misplaced. They don't usually come at the beginning of phrases, but as an effect to reach the end, which he does beautifully: but it's distracting when he does it at the beginning of the phrase. The other thing is that I discovered...

Ok, but I always wondered when I saw this film as a little boy: did the boy soprano actually sing that, or was he dubbed in by a female soprano ? It seems dubbed, but very well done.

I know for a fact that there are and have been boy sopranos who has glorious voices, because I was lucky to posses...

Elizabeth Hasslesnatch, oder Elizabeth Hasslecrack.

I never got to play it that way, and I always wanted to !

I adore his love and sense of fun.

Too many symphony orchestras have painted themselves into a spiritless, bland, blended, undynamic group. If you want to know why music is dying, it's because they are killing the music by thinking they a...

Orquesta Nacional de Espana.

No wonder everyone there is so handsome.....

Brilliant performance, very overpowering. An exciting and thoughtful interpretation. Many thanks for posting !

Oh wow, it's like soooo astonishing.

I am so moved, I have to go poop now.

Non non non non non. I studied with Guilet. This is a big disappointment. Sorry.

One of the very best performances of this is actually a rare disk by the Beaux Arts Trio with Daniel Guilet. In lessons, Guilet and he frequently spoke of Thibaud with absolute reverence. Thibaud was in his peak when Guilet was a young boy in the Paris Conservatoire.

The performance has all the e...

Wow ! I am a stickler for performances. This is so fabulous.....it is in the greatest traditions of all violinists: to make the instrument sing and play from the heart. But one has to HAVE heart to be able to communicate something. To play so tenderly comes from the need to say something which c...

@violinhunter2 I'm sorry to inform you that his career didn't stay afloat because he was frequently very condescending to orchestra members whom complained to their managements. I heard a few conversations. He could also give attitude to many of the conductors who had the ability to re-engage sol...

@90lysander Thanks for informing me that it's Stratas. I'd never seen or worked with her before, so I never knew her voice other than her Lulu. I didn't recognize her. I'd been wondering who had that brilliant and powerful voice. This performance isn't in perfect synchronicity with the recording,...

Bravissimo. This one worked.

The difference between Midori and David is that David was playing with a rock band and didn't have an accompanist who could make tempi changes easily. It was a straight-through performance of perfection. Midori gets a little rough with the intonation also at 2:24-2:2...

I thought their cross communication was excellent. Gould doesn't dominate; he doesn't accompany, either. This is synthesis of two soloists working together for a wonderful performance. Gould does a wonderful job here, supporting when needed, and from memory. I'm a violinist, and I know for a fact...

@sanjosemike I am shocked you would quote Wikipedia as a reference when you are a retired doctor. People with Auspergers have problems with coordination. He was the ping-pong champion of Israel. He was also a very fine pianist, a pretty good swimmer, from accounts, and his violin playing as perfe...

Hi June and Danny !! It's Richard !

Such a nice surprise to see you here !

Keep going !!

The freeman etude should be caged.

Good fiddler, though..........although I wouldn't want to meet her in a dark alleyway.

I have an IQ of 165. I can recognize trash.

You can't, and you don't.

I would love to have the names of this sextet listed. I think Christian Tetzlaff is first fiddle, but I'm not certain.

I think it should be a requirement of all postings here on youtube to give total credits due.

thanks.

Das kann nicht sein. Ich mag diese Inszenierung und Anpassung, und wünschen konnte, um echtes protestieren. Schande über sie !

Diese verrückten Deutschen haben es wieder getan. Es ist schön, einfach schön. Ich scherze.

Idiots. How do I not know that food wasn't placed into the dummy ? That tiger was trying to smell something, and without food inside the dummy, it wouldn't have cared. It's smell which rules a cats' brain more than the shape of a dummy. They observe motion; but the dummy was still. There's no rea...

Get a life.

There are lots of former production plants in Indiana which have closed due to the poor economy. They always had high security when they were in operation. My father worked for Allison in Indianapolis, and they had wire and gated entries.

I am tired of conspiracy theorists. Get some...
