If you cannot tell the difference between presto and prestissimo,....
pffff.... you poor kids..... this is what happens when you cut off funding
for music programs.... such a shame they can't even count tempo

@ArabellaDeVey Yes, the tempo is right. The problem is that nobody that I have ever heard can play it at that speed and make it sound good. Hillary plays it a little bit slower and it is beautiful. Manrico is a wonderful violinist who I have the greatest respect for. Certainly he commands the greatest technique, but obviously he had a hard time hanging on. Respectfully Yours, GB

@supercalifragelistik: To me the choice of tempo was just the right one. By the way, apart from the clear sound and perfect articulation, did you see this violinist fall off the horse?.....

I think his speed is slightly detrimental to his phrasing, unlike Barati's performance, which doesn't sacrifice clarity despite the tempo.

@mikhaeldito Yes indeed I would ride as fast as I can, but not so fast that I could not stay on my horse.

Nice performance and great technique, but why play it so fast and completely ruin the piece? It has lost all artistic value and has become an ordinary speed race or "shock & awe" performance. I really hope Ysaÿe has been spared this modern "who can play fastest" symptom many modern performers flagellate art with.
Good job anyway

@RaRaLandEQ As far as I know, there is "Presto" written in the score. Not "Andante" or "Moderato". This is probably why.. I think, the dramatic goes lost if you play slower (apart from the fact that the piece becomes much easier), and Ernst knew what he wrote.
