It's a pleasure when someone's hype lives up to their performance.

Unless you are a professional violinist, you have no place to criticize his playing. He plays at a professional caliber.

I really want to learn this piece so I can express how I think some parts should be performed. Great performance.

wow

@DavidTorrez Art should always be under critical thought. Even when the best is performing. Can I not criticize a professional pop artist now, just because they're a professional?

It does not take someone more skilled to criticize the performer. Just someone with enough knowledge. My piano teacher is also an extremely good voice teacher, yet he can barely talk straight after his stroke - he has the knowledge and understanding of vocal technique, and therefor can lecture on it and teach it.

He also needs to hold the violin higher his arm is against his body and his bow hand is messed up that's why there's no sound...

[indiankids786]

I don't like his interpretation at all I am not a professional violinist but I agree with stefamocp09 he uses only about the top part of his bow he went too fast at 1:16 through 1: 40 and he doesn't get much sound out of his bow and a lot of it is mush he just lpays the notes with no sence of beat and he's going to fast for himself he needs to practice more slowing down

[winrx]

Does he need more rosin on his bow or is that just the extent of his technique....?

[DavidTorrez]

@edwincheng056 The point is he plays very good and he's a professional violinist and he is also a great teacher. We are nowhere to judge if he's like Milstein, in fact there should be no violinist copying another violinist's style and sound... we should all be different and sound different, that's the beauty of diversity!

@Tim92G in this case we're talking about a non-professional player so he really doesn't have ANY right to criticize ANYONE

[stefanocp09]

I don't like his technique at all. Especially his bow handle. And 90% of the time he just stays on the tip of the bow... there are other parts of it you know. Maybe its because of the way he holds it.
