I met Mr. Mintz's in person in 1988 (probably) when he visited Seoul for his concert.. I guessed it was his first visit to South Korea.. But he was so so warm and humble to audience. He played encores several times as a reply to audience's massive applause. My friend and I were excited to meet him for getting his autograph after the concert and he sincerely gave his autograph to everyone of little music students. Very warm memory. :)

[@user-tj6km8zo7h]

Shlomo Mintz is absolutely the greatest of all ! He is aware of every note he is playing . So sublime . Thank you Shlomo !!!

[@12francisc]

The clarity of the third movement is just incredible, and what a powerful sound! One of the best sibelius performances.

[@burburchacha]

Managed to catch Mr. Mintz after his breathtaking performance in Tokyo, 1992. The concert hall was buzzing, and his performance of the Tchaikovsky violin concerto left us all in awe. The audience's standing ovation was so heartfelt.. Mintz graced us with an unforgettable encore. He took his time signing our programmes, sharing a word or two with each of us about our love for music. For a student violinist like myself, meeting Mintz was inspirational...a moment of genuine connection with a musical legend.

[@mariovazquez3327]

Mintz and Vengerov are the best recordings of Sibelius.

[@Dog-op4mk]

+Barnabas Kelemen Check him out if you are interested;)

[@Xerkun]

Agreed!

[@NICKRL13]

Zukerman and barenboim's recording is out of this world

[@teresitamarino6693]

Agreed

[@TacticalStrike]

Hahn’s is just as elite

[@ronbenfield6182]

Looking forward to performing this together with him next Monday in Spokane with Gonzaga University Symphony (I play in cello section).

[@davidalegre5850]

One of the best live recordings I’ve already seen of Sibelius. Incredible!!!

[@mihamales3318]

Young Mintz is the best what can you see and hear in violin art. Ilona Feher also said that.

[@ardhyanadam5689]

Modern time is just lost such beautiful soloist s

[@DNA350ppm]

Young composer, young soloist, young conductor; something very fresh, tender, wild, passionate shines through all the way, even if this is standard repertoire. Wonderful! Thank you for making it available!

[@endlessadventure541]

I saw Mintz play in a tiny theater in Rockville, MD, decades ago. It was like a magic show. His hands are so huge you can't even see the instrument. It is one of the few memories I can still envision as if it were happening today. He manhandles that wooden carcass like a toy.

Grande Mintz !!!

The best! I guess the 10 minutes of silence at the end is for to meditate how great Mintz is XD hahaha

best Sibelius performance in my opinion!

[@williemartinez6273]

For me vengerov

[@TheAbnerCoutinho]

@@williemartinez6273 He kind of butchered this piece!

[@jacobtapianieto9655]

My personally favourite rendition is that by Christian Ferras (the live recording with a young Zubin Metha conducting). It's perhaps not the cleanest version as he takes many risks but his interpretation of the concerto is so on point and at the same time very personal and sincere. I also like Kavakos' renditions of the concerto (the original and the final version).

[@sebastian9445]

Good but.... Hilary’s version is so beautiful :)

[@peterdeck2696]

@@jacobtapianieto9655 The non-live version with Karajan and the Berlin Phil is even more amazing.

[@sonjaplzak6753]

Shlomo Mintz ist einer der Besten , sehr symphatisch , leidenschaftlich ,sensibel und menschlich. Ich liebe alle seine Videos.Er ging durch eine harte Ausbildung bei Ylona Feher .Es hat sich gelohnt, beeindruckend. 💕Vielen Dank.

[@maryprattmiller361]

My first experience of Shlomo Mintz. Beautiful and deeply emotional. His playing touches the soul.

[@michelecherchi154]

Incredibile. Pazzesco. Mintz è di un altro pianeta.

[@yvesbancel1054]

là, il se passe vraiment quelque chose ! impossible de ne pas croire à l'histoire que tous ces musiciens - du soliste en passant pas le chef - nous racontent. magnifique !

[@alexsaldarriaga8318]

Mintz respects the music and the composer by delivering true artistic excellence, unlike others who use this concerto as merely a vehicle to show off their technique and amaze the public. I just love that full bodied Mintz sound. And his bow arm is a thing of beauty. Just perfect!

[@rtomsc]

I have always aspired to his right arm technique. Completely sound.

[@Mabusesato]

he is so great and so beautiful to see! hiw bow looks like a 10 meter bow ! love u!

[@sourjyabanerjee9310]

Mintz is sublime. Such a magnificent servant of Art.

Absolutely breathtaking

[@יתום]

Amazing performance!!!!!

[@MegaCirse]

Sibelius est le brillant reflet d'une époque, c'est un astéroïde fantôme qui revient jeter son dévolu sur l'art sonore. Une onde prodigieuse chargée de paradoxes d'où s'échappent l'obscurantisme la féérie et l'irrationnel, facteurs hypnotiques défiant les âmes vulnérables en quête d'absolu. Son architecture musicale est un court tunnel qui mène à la lumière 🤗

[@darrylschultz9395]

[@yisroel6]

It sounded to me like the orchestra was actively trying to overpower the soloist (everything played in "ffffff") and that the conductor was randomly dancing while extraordinarily high on drugs... Through it all, the soloist still sounded great! I would love to hear the Shlomo perform this piece only with a different orchestra.

Greetings from Michigan my home state since 1959, that said just a fine ability you've been given. Thanks for offering this us this opportunity share here. I feel such joy in this rare privilege to speak not just a Jewish man but one that has such an impact with others. Thankyou for your time.

[@xavierbordes1373]

Bonne interprétation, mais la meilleure non. Prometteur mais ça demanderait encore maturation, notamment pour l'orchestre. Pas assez varié entre la force et la confidence. Belle sonorité, qui ne sait pourtant pas nous "chuchoter l'émotion" quand il le faudrait.

[@leonidiogansen8855]

Stop making ritenutos where composer didn't write them, please!! What's up with this tendency to slow down endings. It doesn't work.

[@sneddley]

Agreed, and specifically that first movement has no such ending as played here, very artificial to try to make such a big deal out of it. The music goes energetically to it’s conclusion. Am not convinced in this instance.

[@jlgviolin]

I love Shlomo, and this concerto, but agree fully with this conclusion. The first movement staying in tempo has such a more powerful effect. Not sure Sibelius would have liked the ritard. Otherwise, Shlomo's power and musicality is top notch.

[@fabianstoehr5909]

But Mintz is Jewish

[@lukefer7579]
