How can anyone say the her technique is shocking?! Every note, every phrase is impeccable from begining to end. AND she delivers the music with true virtuosic panache! And you could not achieve that unless your technqiue is flawless! Perhaps you're thinking of "style" rather than techqniue. Many violinsists play with raised shoulders, and it is obvious that Silvia is comfortable with this. Thus it is not for us to tell her how to handle her instrument! This is a really polished performance!

wow... I really enjoy listening and playing this piece.. but the way she plays it... I JUST LOVE IT.

@arcpineapple I'm not saying he wasn't great. He was amazing. But technique is something that can be taught and replicated. He had skill, not technique. If he had the best technique, it would have been able to be learned by other violinists, and there would be more like him. Rather, Heifetz had skill, an ability to play better than anyone else, and not a single way of explaining it, replicating, or teaching it to others.

@mochixsasuke Heifetz had poor technique? Don't be ridiculous.

For those wondering about her instrument, I believe it's by Paolo Albani, 1633-1680. another great student student of Nicolo Amati. I'm not rational or objective about this violinist: I love her performances, her charismatic presence, her fine musicianship; that's all I can say . . .

@mochixsasuke 'Heifetz had poor technique' - where do you get that absurd idea

from? Please tell me it's not your violin teacher. Suggest you watch his Paganini 24

or Wienawski Polonaise Brillante. He had 'technique' in spades and possibly the

greatest mastery of an instrument the world has ever seen.

Uh.. is there any way that I could "dislike" those 13 "dislikes" ...?

To note: her technique works for her, and she is a master. She may have suffered a previous shoulder injury that forces her to play like that. I injured my rotator cuff a while back, and when I picked up violin, the first couple months after my recovery involved playing with a raised or dropped shoulder, whichever was more comfortable at the time. Heifitz had poor technique as well, but he could nail anything. So if she can play this piece this well with a shoulder raised, then why criticize?
