  • I fail to see how Nima Ben David's facial expressions have anything to do with her playing. In an age where pierced body parts and facial tattoos seem to be commonplace, it seems to me that her facial expressions are incidental to her astonishing virtuosity and astonishing musicianship. I have played the bass viola da gamba for 5 decades and I wish I had played just one day of that time with the musicianship and virtuosity she expresses with such grace and control.

  • OMG this music is so gorgeous. OMG WHO CARE WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE! SHE'S SHREDDING ON A 15th CENTURY INSTRUMENT! coooooool!

  • impressionante, mas eu morro de medo dela.

  • I can't tell if the frets are really far apart or if she's just REALLY short.

  • Asians...

  • Wow!!! it made my day!

  • Bellísimo.

    Where can I get the score of this piece?

  • Amazing performance by Nima. My only gripe is that I wish the editors spent more than 2 or 3 seconds before switching between shots and instead focused on just her bowing for a good while, or just the left hand.

  • SEXY!

  • I absolutely LOVE this piece!! And the performer's expressive mastery keeps me coming back for repeat listens. I think I want to play this instrument . . .

  • Great stuff

  • @swizzle2012 They are frets, made from gut. But contrary to instruments that use metal frets, you have to press ON the fret itself. It's really not that bad. you have the fret folded in two and looped against itself, so you press in between the two strands, that are closely together. But it is somewhat different from guitar.
