  • That is one mother of a bowing arm !

    I bet her Tchaik drowns out the orchestra !!

  • @lilyonsan would have to agree with poms1955. This piece was written in the classical period meaning, which ultimately meant the player (while staying close to the tempo) was not restrained to a strict metronomic beat. Pine's interpretation of the piece I think accurately captures the "humor" of the piece, reflecting the depth that is Wieniawski and the professionalism required to perform this piece to the nth degree.

  • BRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAVVVVVVOOOOO­OOOO™™™©‘ìï

  • @poms1955 That's your opinion and I shall respect it. But as for me, I still say that there are many better players and that I don't much care for this version.

  • @Lilyonsan I have to disagree with your comments.This piece is perfectly in Tempo with Rubato where required.The piece does meander about and that is how it is written.If you listen to other famous players playing it, it sounds identical (except for their own interpretation of course)I would say her counting and rhthyms are spot on.It is a beautiful and passionate piece and I just adore her interpretation of it.

  • Does she sing as well? :o She looks like a vocalist lol

  • This is so amazing.She plays with such passion and emotion.My daughter is preparing this for her first year exams in the summer 2012 and if she played it 100th as well i would be well pleased.Thank you for giving me so much pleasure as this was a piece i had never heard before.

  • My only problem with this is that she doesn't seem to follow any concept of tempo with this. That's really only necessary when you have a cadenza or another part without the orchestra. By playing it this way, it seems to me that the movement loses a bit of it's direction and seems to wander on. Now if that's personal input from the player than I guess I really can't argue with her but in my opinion it's poor taste. Other than that her sound is very good and intonation and tone blend really well.

  • such beautiful, warm playing.
