Cooley's Reel - Sharon Corr live at 'AVO Session', Basel | Switzerland (05-11-11)

[@chrisrolfing3393]

My favorite Corr sister. She holds her own very well and also a wonderful asset to the entire band. Best wishes to Sharon and all of the Corrs.

[@adammoore442]

agreed

[@nemotone9297]

I love her!

[@paulmortimer2505]

So many as children find learning the violin a chore, few survive the rigours ... In the end only a handful, like Sharon, master its special language of rapture and flight for the benefit of all.

[@BlueRidgeKat1]

Always my favorite Corr !!!!!!!!!!

[@adammoore442]

perfection

[@walt6153]

GREAT!

[@NiteAngyl]

Rhapsody of Fire brought me here.

[@JohnLnyc]

I think there’s some confusion. Sharon is not a “fiddler” in the traditional Celtic or bluegrass sense. She is a classically trained violinist. These are modern arrangements of traditional folk music played in a much more “polished” or slicker manner.

[@CarolineTheFiddler]

It's has to be a repeatably marketable arrangement within the style. A LOT of these faster pieces it's very easy run out of Bow length like Trout In The Bath - One slip too far and it's all over, you have not much bow left. However she is just a ferocious player.

[@JohnLnyc]

@@CarolineTheFiddler yes good points. She is applying her talents to a song. A pop song. Or she is playing traditional Irish music (folk). Her training and sensibilities shape what she plays within those genres.

[@denisbione828]

Quelle belle femme ! et quelle grande violoniste...

[@carolinacalvagna3102]

Great 😍😍😍😎😎💖💖💞

[@michaelhaney3388]

I met Sharon on her solo tour in southern California usa. So nice, the kind of woman I would want.

[@TheGaetano62]

la più bella violinista che io conosca.

[@cooleypope]

Cooley Pope omg its been a while, sounds great, give me a call - peace and love CP

[@adammoore3605]

Sharon corr at her best

[@brandonbentley4677]

Very good

[@michaelhaney3388]

Irish beauty.

[@acidfuuzz]

So...is this a cover of Rhapsody, or is this the original?.. Or are they both covers??

[@crasshumor872]

Sherlock Holmes got me here

[@julioramirez8023]

I remember the premiere of that video and I feel like it was yesterday.

[@louislombardelli1691]

wow squared

[@christianvasquez4844]

Same to Paddy Mc Carthy of The Corrs. Very Good

[@michaelhaney3388]

Yeah, check that song out, and tell me if any damn irish fiddlers can match that fast pace shit.

[@michaelhaney3388]

Sharon corr is pretty damn good.

[@rodhubbard2905]

Sharon is great but I think with the corrs group this song would be a hit Good song though 👍

[@user-ps4rk1wh7q]

ヴァイオリンがアイリッシュらしくない様な気がしますけど、もしかしてクラシックの人?

[@ferencmolnar2370]

Very simple violin version. She should have had to play much more notes.

[@Jefmon01]

Fiddle tunes are often sparse.

[@stevenagele9373]

it's the bowing which is simple. she's playing all the notes, but each note gets an individual bow stroke. a common bowing technique for reels is - slur 1st 3 eighth notes in a down bow, slur the next 3 eighth notes in an up bow, and play the remaining 2 eighth notes with 1 down bow and 1 up bow. adjust as necessary for quarter notes. and she doesn't use ornaments such as cuts, rolls or triplets

[@jomellon]

She plays the tune - sometimes people play fast with lots of ornaments, because they don't actualy 'have' the tune.

[@thelightisahead]

@@stevenagele9373 Quite right Steve. Stylistically it’s quite far from Irish traditional music.

[@roguemocean8820]

That's right. She's playing just fine and it sounds nice, but if you listen to this bloke here playing in his loungeroom to a backing track he recorded himself (also in his loungeroom) she's got nothing in comparison. This fella's version is a million times better, more lively, and full of ornamentation and swing, which she doesn't have any of at all. >kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3_SnIKJhdClqZo

[@AMA-G]

外人なのにベチャだなぁ❣️

[@philhyland9889]

Does sharon play by note its not coleman style bowing. N finguring that nice. Flow of music from ur. Head

[@thelightisahead]

She’s no doubt a very talented and able musician, but stylistically it’s a long way off Irish style (whatever region you go by). Compare with this kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4DEc4Njot2LjMU

[@raynboentropy7019]

I do like Kevin Burke, but my all time favorite version of Cooley's is still Tony MacMahon's. After all, it was written for accordion. :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWipimqIm8unrs0

[@danpearman270]

I'm very late to the conversation but just wanted to thank both of you for the recommendations, I enjoyed both versions :) If I might repay the favour - I recommend this version as one I've particularly enjoyed - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2m9nXdqhdira8U

[@jackhinds8728]

Can you Jack xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx

Sherlock Holmes.

[@ogpicker]

Sawing away... NOT Irish fiddling by any measure.

[@cearuilinjayne745]

Hahahaaa everyone knows shes classivally trained. But music is beautiful you feel it, makes uou smile…. Thrn its good

[@jackhinds8728]

[@nobleaichi_official]

I wonder if she and Iskandar Widjaja performed together, the performance would be great. Cuz Iskandar's the world class violinist, not like her.

[@gerard9098]

Nice dance festival music. Well done. (but not connected with traditional Irish fiddling.)

[@swantjetauscher]

Sie spielt es so langweilig wie eine Schradieck Einspiel- und Aufwärmübung:D

[@ParlonsAstronomie]

A bit classical and without enough energy for me

[@Jefmon01]

Particularly the classic banjo

[@deadmike2]

thats not irish style. Thats classic shit

[@alexdesslin]

il semble que de nombreux amateurs de musique traditionnelle trouvent cette interprétation médiocre !! je me range à l'avis des experts, manque de vitalité, de panache, de virtuosité !!! elle a du peps en magasin, donc on regarde plus que l'on écoute !! elle a de bonnes qualités de second violon mais pas pour être soliste, les limites sont claires !!

[@kelamuni]

Suzuki trained violinist attempting to play an Irish reel with absolutely no background in traditional music -- no traditional slurring, all single stroke bows, no embellishments/ornaments, and her vibrato creeps in. her Suzuki training isn’t even that good: she moves at the shoulder instead of at the elbow. cute though.

[@guoitdreuy]

kelamuni mate, I don't know anything about traditional Irish music or the Suzuki method but this sounds to me so robotic it could be a synthesiser!

[@Petey8482]

kelamuni in your opinion. She could fiddle you under the table. You're talking tripe dear.

[@wolfthequarrelsome504]

@@Petey8482 the comment is correct. It was a wooden performance by Irish traditional music standards.

[@Petey8482]

Pat Aherne in your opinion? And I can confirm it wasn’t “wooden”. You’re talking tripe.

[@melanzanablu2370]

The atmosphere is happy because the piece is, not because of her. This is the most neutral version I ve ever heard

[@AlaniSugar]

she's not that good. Seems like a classical violinist trying some Irish tunes. She should add some Irish rolls, it would sound more Irish...

[@Danielviomusic]

+Alani Sugar that sound doesn't even correspond to a good classical musician. She isn't good anyway, neither in folk nor in classical.

[@AlaniSugar]

+Danielviomusic yeah I guess your right.

[@AlaniSugar]

+Sean O'Suileabhain Yeah you are so right...

[@roberthickman4092]

+Alani Sugar agree, its listltenable, but I've head this tune played better at my local session. Needs more variation.

[@AlaniSugar]

***** yeah, I think that's what I was trying to say, I just didn't know what to make of it when first hearing it...

[@michaeltodd3225]

Sooooooo bad....

[@michaelstaadt8937]

Lousy fiddling.

[@illyboulder2557]

The native Irish, love their Germanic colonizers.

[@lucagiuberti682]

Awful... Never heard an Irish reel played in such an uninspiring way... No ornamentation, a steady, robot-like rhythm that turns one of the best trad. Irish reels into a soulless dull and boring tune

[@whiterice1024]

Absolutely awful
