Richard Yongjae O'Neill-Shostakovich : Jazz Suite No.2-Waltz

One of the very few violists to ever be awarded the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant as well as a 2006 GRAMMY Nomination, two of music's highest achievements, Korean-American RICHARD YONGJAE O'NEILL is rising to international prominence as one of the most promising artists of his generation. Highlights from this season include his New York recital debut at Carnegie's Weill Hall with pianist Warren Jones, his London Wigmore Hall and Paris Salle Cortot debuts with Sejong, performances with the Emerson String Quartet and Leon Fleisher at the Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart Festival, a Chamber Music Society "Live from Lincoln Center" television broadcast performance on PBS, solo appearances with the Euro-Asian Philharmonic, KBS Symphony Orchestra, and the opening of the 2006 Tongyeong International Festival.

musician has right to chose their own tempo, am i right?

every musician is different each other, we call it character.

@DanceMyStyle Good to know :) I still maintain that his tempo is a bit bright (having played the Suite with orchestra and listened to five or six commercial recordings. None of which are near this speed...and not because the orchestras can't play it this fast, but because this tempo does not enhance the character of the music -- unless he intended it to feel more like a joke than a beautiful waltz). Anyway, his speed wouldn't bother me as much if he actually phrased with more care/interest.

I am playing this for my orchestra. i have the cello solo

It doesn't matter what tempo it is, as long as it fits the artist, occasion, and mood.

Richard O'Neill is just interpreting his piece as a light yet melancholic waltz, which isn't wrong.

I think this is actually one of the better interpretations I've heard of this song.

The notes are played to go with the tempo, which is what makes it actually good.

YouTube forever means never worrying about what the audience thinks - the PERFECT media for artistic expression!
