Berliner Philharmoniker Violin Master Class: Mozart, Symphony No. 40

[@DrewBarnard94]

I've been reading the comments on a lot of these master class videos, and I'm getting tired of people bashing the teachers. A master class is designed for the teacher to provide constructive criticism for the student, not ooh and aah about the student. Noah Bendix-Balgley is kind and helpful, with a delightful sense of humor. And yes, obviously the better musician. Ann Yu certainly spent hours practicing her piece to prepare for her audition, while Bendix-Balgley is just walking up and perusing the score without warmup. The twaddle you read in the comment section sometimes... Goodness.

[@portischarles]

This teacher gave brilliant insights and is a true master, as well as gentle demeanour.

[@sandrolubis2290]

He is a real musician. His interpretation is stunning..

[@ceoraaa]

His violin literally sings!! It's beautiful!!

[@portischarles]

Yes - special violin, whatever it is - does anyone know?

[@Brokeaintbroken]

1732 Carlo Bergonzi

[@kamikan22]

at 12:45 i thought he was literally singing like he did at the start lol you can hear the violin saying du du du xd

[@LudwigvanBeethoven2]

As well as her

[@LudwigvanBeethoven2]

As well as her

[@thecommonoutdoorsman6366]

This guy is great! Anyone who has played a while can see how technically she played it. Instead of stating such he instantly broke down her technique, gave her context, and gave her the tools to make her instrument have a voice and sing!

[@TheCma6]

Exactly right. With respect to Ms. Wu, she seemed to be playing notes with hardly any sense of the line of the melody.

[@classicalperformances8777]

But it is not a concerto for solo violin. It is tutti orchestra... I m a bit 😕

[@Imants625]

I am not a professional musician - just a lover of music and Mozart in particular, but I watched this video with a huge interest. Now I start to understand why the same composition sounds completely differently in performance of different orchestras. Thank you!

[@gagamin2]

I like this man. he is absolutely right.

[@tifanyt.387]

@Ramesses II Setepenre I think she's holding her violin lower and not as upright as he is. A violist tends to hold their instrument lower due to the length, so I think that's why

[@nikhildeo5998]

Stop being critics 😂😂 You do know he is the concertmaster of Berlin Phil right?

[@tabithasegree3067]

Nikhil Deo really?

[@nikhildeo5998]

Yes, go search it up or read the description

[@TheCma6]

I agree. For the concertmaster of the planet's greatest orchestra, you should give serious consideration to what he says. I asume this was not an audtion for the Berlin Philharmonic.

[@aidanmccormack5443]

Read the description oh my god

[@yzxt7535]

Oh

[@harrymullany3294]

What a great teacher, great student and genius Mozart!

[@amandagrace6957]

Her violin has such a deep gentle tone! I love it. I play violin in an orchestra and these techniques help a lot because I play a lot of mozart too!

[@amandagrace6957]

@Ricky Anthony very true, I'm top choice for solos and the first violinist so in times where I'm playing alone it will work

[@Funmodescondidas]

im a double bass player and this helped me so much , thanks for uploading this

[@박재휘-q3k]

This guy’s staccato is perfect!!

[@kerumble]

This guy's comments are world class critique

[@gcg8187]

kerumble yes!!! :)

[@vla179]

If you ever take any lesson from Berliner philharmonic you will know they all like that.... No matter what and how you will play it is never good for them...

[@yzxt7535]

Lmao

[@yzxt7535]

Vla Music it’s to make sure the cycle continues and if they teach to others no one ever is said to completely mastered it so the violin continues and is open to play and for lots of practice lol.

[@SchinkenBrother]

@@vla179 I had the luck to be conducted by one of their second violinists, Stanley Dodds, and to work with different members from Berlin Philamonics as soloists and it may be true: music is never finished or perfect for them. But what I saw with all of them was that they all care for young musicians and try to teach as good as possible. And to be honest in 14 years of violin lections i never learned as much as in the few orchestra rehearsals with Mr. Dodds. So maybe, its never perfect for them, but they will always encourage and help you to get to your best version.

[@nickyork8901]

Great playing Ann Yu - nice sound, excellent intonation, fine technique.

[@bluepool210]

his sound 😍

[@metlin]

That was so amazing. So helpful! I loved the part about adding a bit more character and phrasing, and I loved how he actually demonstrated that.

[@carnegiehall]

Thank you for watching, and we're glad you enjoyed it.

[@joshroyeca]

Very helpful masterclass. Noah is kind and smiling, I think he’s teaching style is effective and inspiring to students. Thank you for sharing! ☺️🇵🇭

[@gil-evens]

I am a pianist but this makes me happy. I don't know why

[@sabrinaschantz]

Henri Roy No, piano is more beautiful. Especially the bass in piano, plus piano doesn’t involve screeching.

[@sabrinaschantz]

Henri Roy Yes, you can be more expressive, but you can also be expressive on piano. You can also imitate a string quartet if you wanted to. On violin, its just solo and thats it.

[@sabrinaschantz]

Henri Roy Well, of course you can play two different notes at the same time... i still prefer piano over violin, though.

[@annalangenbach5097]

@Henri Roy piano is the most beautiful Instrument because of all the different Sounds you can make it stands on it’s one

[@NikkiMindlessMe]

She is such an amazing student and I would absolutely love for him to teach me. He is truly great at what he does. Kudos!!!

[@ayushvinesh]

this world is just beautiful

[@ViolindEva]

Enjoyed this very much!

[@tokyochemist]

I need to remember the idea of frames. My runs always get muddy so separating things into frames will definitely help especially as a reset if I need to correct a run midway through.

[@ErikWilliamsviolin]

I can't get over this height difference.

[@audiowatches5750]

He is a very very musical violinist, superb! She is catching up really nice compliments.

[@stefanhiemer751]

Although I am an amateur trombone player I enjoyed this one. He seems a nice guy and it was interesting to see them work together.

[@elisaragli5038]

Just amazing !

[@DrYeraLeeViolinStudio]

Great job, both Ann and Noah!

[@derik2nicolai584]

So interesting, the student is also professional, but the teacher is super amazing 😉

[@annaf2828]

I have to play the end of her excerpt and further for an audition and this really helped my phrasing

[@kays1213]

A great coach with cute smile😃

[@listen3b]

Her sound is rough and dull in many places, not sure if it is the instrument, bow, or recording albeit that's why she is on the master class. Apparently, the professional player demonstrates the articulation. Enjoyed it. Thanks!

[@audreym9001]

she has a very nice voice...she only said sorry at first but still

[@hoot2416]

Watching the bow is mesmerizing to me.

[@madesusena96]

Her bridge is angled a bit forward. She should fix that soon.

[@samanthab6642]

Made SG Putra because you say so? Ha

[@madesusena96]

s B i don't think I'm understand

[@cdtj1265]

Well spotted!

[@jpbaugh]

@@samanthab6642 He's not criticizing her technique. He's pointing out that the bridge on her violin is angled forward. It should be perpendicular with the front of the violin

[@W8in12]

I don't know if this really work on the sound, but I know a violist that put the bridge a little backward angled, arguing that the strings get a different tone with this bridge position.

[@VictorMinchihLee]

Well done, Noah! Good to see you now on the other side of the master classes :)

[@fluteshop6439]

Lol just watched this entire video at 1,25 speed, didn't realize until I opened another video. Damn that was :D

[@acordeonpianoulloa2771]

Primer comentario en español latino jjajaka puros gringos se nota que hay pocos weones que escuchan esta máster class en Chile puros weones flaites que les gusta el reggeaton, cumbia, ranchera el rap y el rock y nadie a menos que uno estudie llega a esto pero es una pobreza que nadie comente en Chile bueno decir que la chica toca muy bien y el maestro a cargo es excelente ojala hubieran maestros así por estos lados ya que los que hay son muy pa dentro no dan el conocimiento a cualquiera y son precios muy elevados para acceder a sus clases hay mucha gente que le encantaría aprender pero eso es una limitan te para los que no poseen recursos creo que la música del violin es esquisita y tocar mozart es todo un privilegio que gozan algunos pero esto debiera ser materia de estudio en los colegios y universidades no sólo es música es inteligencia al tocar y cultura rica en conocimiento los genios deben saber esto para finalizar mi comentario debo mencionar a otro genio que creo está al nivel de mozart y digo esto con todo mis respeto a paganini luego hay muchos pero en fin al que se dio tiempo de leer esto denle like y compartan!!!!

[@fredelin2580]

What a sensational music lesson !!!! (I also hope she practices to use her entire body to play the instrument, not just the a bow and fingers).

[@chigozie424]

I need more classical music suggestions

[@sanjosemike3137]

I "hear" the accompaniment in my mind as she plays. Do some of you too? Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

[@pedroviolinistaa]

Very good!

[@nocturnallsnake4228]

How should we play it for an orchestra audition: like it is really properly played in the section or rather like a solo? Because nobody is going to play like a soloist in the section (but perhaps sometimes the concert master). Also, couldnt it be a mistake by the judges to hire a musician to sit in the section who cannot play well those delicated soft passages but is more used to play full blown (like everybody is ordered to play all the time)?

[@muratbozdag8440]

amazing 👏👏👏

[@classicalperformances8777]

I m confused. So, in auditions , should we play the tutti like solo or not?

[@drandrewtan]

Amazing!

[@qutubhashmi1656]

Wow amazing violin 🎻

[@evanpyne4426]

Why do they call him “first concertmaster?” Is that the same thing as concertmaster?

[@Ickguenthrasil]

The berlin philharmonic has several concertmasters

[@matthewv789]

The titles are a little different. A “principal” or “concertmaster” is what in America we’d call an associate or assistant principal. The actual “principals” as we would think of them have “First” before their title, so First Principal Cello or First Concertmaster. (Some German orchestras instead give them a “solo” title.) In addition, in most sections there is also more than one First Principal. Most sections have two, and there are three First Concertmasters.

[@arcana830]

Is he playing Nigel Kennedy's old violin?

[@TheMacDany]

Yes, he is.

[@David-bf8ez]

Indeed

[@hananhumidan7064]

The master has a better fiddle; tone is less harsh

[@enzocypriani5055]

Great!

[@TroppiSilente]

Fantastico!

[@萩原耕介]

I would feel there might have been definite differences between student and coach. especially bowing articulation, sound making with bow length. student might be thinking only f and p. (soon be 91yrs.Japanese) sorry strange English.

[@Bl0ck3dz]

Is it by pure professionalism that his violin sounds better than hers, or is that more because of the bow, strings and such ?

[@jonathanmay4625]

Ivan Siderov probably a little bit of both, the violin he is playing is incredibly nice, if I had to guess old French or Italian so it probably sings a little bit better than hers but he’s also obviously a better player too
