Lalo: Symphonie Espagnole - 1st & 3rd movements (Benjamin Zander - Interpretation Class)

[@ZenWhisperer25]

I’ve watched, repeatedly, all of your master classes and, for the first time, you’ve had nothing to teach her, for she is, undoubtedly, an extraordinary violinist, with not only top class violin skills, but also great musicality and soul. I came here, over and over again, and guess what? Every time I listen to her it’s like the first time. Same joy, same astounding commitment to the music itself, same mastership. I only hope I’ll see her, in a very near future, on every great stage of the world. It will be shameful otherwise, because she has so much to offer to the entire world. From Romania, with love!

[@pablov1973]

Sarah, you change my boring and quite sad day into a very happy one, is very rare in this days watching and listening someone capable to comunicate such passion for music. I wish one day I can listen you on concert. Thank you!

Just fantastic - beautiful, dramatic and at the same time subtle and emotional. Much kudos, as always, to the pianist , Dina Vainshtein, sensitive to the music, the soloist, the piano, the acoustics - beautifully poised for each moment.

[@94liangyuan]

This is one of the best performances of Lalo Symphonie Espagnole I've ever heard. What makes this performance truly special is because she gives a feeling of connection to the music. Amazing!

People actually disliked this??? Music was pouring out of her soul... absolutely beautiful

[@eddiereece5050]

Wow, what a great line.........music was pouring out of her soul. ~Respect

[@maazzafar2822]

You set my soul on fire today, Sarah. Your passion and your joy is rare. Never keep it from the world. It is much needed. Brava, madonna!

[@patrick6110]

Fantastic ! This is a future grand violin master. She is a brilliant violinist with a beautiful technique et great personality. I never heard Zander say of a student "she's a gift to the world". But she is.

[@ileskin]

I think this is my favorite of Professor Zander's Masterclasses. Sarah plays with true feeling, fire, excitement, passion, everything that Lalo surely would have required from this marvellous piece. A pleasure to listen to, and watch this space as this young lady will surely go from strength to strength with her amazing gifts!

[@kingsgambit]

This was hands down the best musical performance and moment I have ever listened too! I am great lover of music of all kinds, be it classical, blues or just anything, I frequently go to concerts, operas, listen to all kinds of classical music online, I play the cello, guitar and a bit of piano myself. Yet, NEVER have I listened to something that was as perfect, transcendent and magical as this. I am truly overwhelmed and left a lot of blabbering here for the lack of better words. This was so moving and true!

[@KM-px8cs]

One of the most beautiful violins I've ever seen.

[@pollekem6459]

Listening to this and watching her play made me feel so extremely happy. She is giving the love and passion for this piece in spades. It is amazing

[@lisali6120]

Go through life or invent yourself a contribution to the world. So few people are so free and fully expressed like her. I really like this interpretation.

[@jiann-chinglin1571]

The first sentence from her demo play gave me goose bumps right away. That singing quality is seldom seen. ❤

[@jr688]

Truly incredible. I've watched this video many time over the past couple years. She's amazing every single time.

[@reinaldodeoliveira5088]

really, amazing performance and I am happy that so young girl playing so well this beautiful piece. tks God to give such gifts to us.

[@plwatchermediagrp5037]

Passion oozes from your pores. Thank you for sharing such an incredible gift with us!

[@antonclijsters7021]

[@nancymohass4891]

How kind and understanding Art teacher,! you teach how to live through music.!

[@RakuenAram]

I literally found myself spontaneously applauding her performance ! What an amazing human being !

[@nancymohass4891]

Thanks Sarah for being what an Artist should be, beautiful ! Your so generous giving all your happiness away to your auodiance!

[@yutengma]

she manages to capture the essence of Kogan's playing, so full, emotional, all without a Guaneri

[@thomashamberg8069]

May not be a Guarneri, but one hell of a beautiful violin

[@ulli5134]

every time i watch her play it awakes me and blows my fear away :)

[@vaughnhale7903]

Her tone is absolutely astonishing.

[@jr688]

I am a very novice classical fan. I enjoy listening and relaxing to classical music. From what I can tell you are truly gifted, passionate, and accessible. For everything a novice such as myself you truly wow.

[@MsCoralyang]

So moving. Masterful playing and interpretation. Bravo!

[@sonjaplzak6753]

Liebe Sarah, sie sind eine Zauberin mit ihrer Violine !! Wunderschönes Spiel ! Vielen Dank !!

[@aaltmann]

Sarah I am speechless. Thank you.

[@LannyChambers]

This is very similar to my favorite version, the 1960s Vox recording of Aaron Rosand with Szöke and Baden-Baden. Same fire, passion, and drive. Superb!

[@daviddemar8749]

yay Sarah! you brought light into my dark and gloomy October day

[@jejerin2754]

Wow...now that is PASSION!

[@YuanjiaWang]

LEGENDARY

[@msudlp]

Sarah, PLEASE post more of your playing on KZbin. PLEASE!

[@mansijain3797]

i really hope that subtle shade wasn't aimed at heifetz because his version of this piece is the best thing my ears have ever heard

[@sh24jame]

wow. these moments were totally transcendent

[@ap6765]

Would have be interesting hear him give some piano masterclass

[@Mr35diamonds]

Such amazing playing.

[@ElhanSmartCity]

I've listened to every version of this, played by top violinists, and they all feel dry and less expressive after Sarahs performance.

[@gessecrash]

So beautiful, Sarah. One of best that I have seen

[@Jaburu]

wow. he had nothing to teach her.

[@derik2nicolai584]

Wolarski Even Perlman can’t teach her

[@andyking957]

even with a nasty bow hair hanging around n teh 3t movement played really perfectly, nothing to teach.... But it is also a gift fo a teacher to acknowledge this and not to give advice "because a teacher is expected to do so".

[@Jaburu]

@@andyking957 true

[@YuanjiaWang]

RARE

[@RochestersGotTalentbyPaulRefic]

you are awesome love it you go maestro

[@brianseals7546]

This young lady is a very advanced player of the violin; if she could acquire the tutelage of the Romanian maestro, Silvia Marcovici who has the benefit of playing with a full orchestra, she could raise her potential no end. How she could achieve this tutelage I don't know. Good luck,go for it!

[@YuanjiaWang]

EPIC

[@ijin614]

太棒了！沒想到在這種場合聽到這麼棒的演出

[@violintegral]

Wow... You can even tell she broke some bow hairs during the 3rd movement. I wanna see her play a concert... I hope I can sound as amazing as her when I play this piece soon!

[@maiarho]

This is violin playing on the level of Heifetz. Good to hear that there are still people who play on this level. The sad part of it is: From now on, it will depend on marketing 'artiscs' how much success she will have.

[@abrahamparraamante6850]

jajajajaja

[@nathanedades7390]

[@alfredwang4623]

[@alfredwang4623]

[@santafucker1945]

Please don’t compare violinists with heifetz. I might have to report this comment :)

[@ke6cam841]

Fantastic!

[@nikkiiv9259]

Super fun piece to play.

[@ohnleeaman8050]

I don't know much about classical music in terms of violin and the meaning of "Heifetz". Her father, Leonard Yakir, is a good friend and he informed me of her talents so checking it out. She seems deeply involved with her playing, like going into another world. The dude with the wild hair is a character "So intoxicating..." Well done Sarah.

Funny thing that the first thing about the opening he mentioned was the slow tempo. Because that is exactly what I thought when I heard it: "Faster! It is too slow!"

[@violinhunter2]

I'm not the teacher but I would say she needs to be less "careful" and simply go for it fearlessly and effortlessly. It should not sound like she is fighting every inch of the way. The technique should equal 110% of what she actually needs. I would also play every portamento more rapidly (Heifetz style) otherwise the shifting just sounds like old-fashioned smears. A fine and impressive effort - it would sound very nice with orchestra.

[@SpicyGelato98]

I have to agree with OP. Perhaps it doesn't sound like that in every section of the piece, but she definitely has a tendency towards doing so.

[@ninocausse-feuillet5028]

Genious!!!!

[@anonymoususer3741]

God bless

[@ashimk3681]

She broke a couple of bow strings. Still no effect on the playing.
