Berlioz - Harold in Italy (1st mvmt) - Kim Kashkashian (viola)

[@pasitmanatphienlert]

Have never been afraid that the conductor may faint like this time. So great 👍

[@bastiatintheandes4958]

When absolute mastery and sensitivity meet beauty. This awesome artist is still as gorgeous as she was as a teen.

Professor Kashkashian's viola solo entry from 0:01 to 2:49 is enchanting. Berlioz' Harold in Italy has never sounded better. Her novel march to the front of the orchestra is symbolic of the solo viola entry. Her playing is flawless.

Could honestly have done without the pretense

[@neilcam]

@@daniel3231995 it's actually meant to be done that way, or from the back of the theatre, or a side alcove up high.

[@tommyjohansson7057]

100 times better than Kim Kardashian !

[@roodles5153]

i spent a christmas with her.... our neighbors are related to her and we are great friends

[@lem9082]

Truly wonderful.

[@irisdrorfishman]

Can someone direct me or explain to me why her hand position is considered unusual? It seems very normal for a violist.

[@Keitemg]

I guess that people consider her thumb position unsual, but as you said, viola is not violin....

[@emmahermsen7119]

It’s really high. Usually a violist has their thumb more under the neck so they can hit the notes better and get their elbow farther over. But from what I’m seeing and hearing she has her elbow over and she’s hitting all her notes perfectly. It all comes down to personal preference and what works for them 🤷‍♀️

[@JuhlMedia]

Wow! Nice video. Can you tell us where is the concert? Which orchestra and the name of the conductor?

[@edwardyeo7897]

I believe at Harvard's concert hall? Conductor is Benjamin Zanders with the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra.

Она лучшая.

[@richardandaya3932]

What’s with the standing in back and wandering towards the front?

[@julieshaw8953]

Violino DelMondo, do you have more video (the rest of the movements) of this concert?
