Smoothest harmonics I’ve ever heard in a long time

The Harmonics and the LH pizz was insane!!!

Is there anything you can’t play, Leia? This is amazing!

[@LeiaZhu]

Thank you

[@cannicole]

The way you effortlessly slip into completely different tones is just amazing

[@edith6993]

I cannot believe in what I saw. Just now. She is the goddess 😍

[@VidGameVidzz]

Such a calming music! Counter intuitive thought but it does calm me when I listen to it during the times I feel very low. Edit: I am thankful to Miss Missisipi through whom I found this one. Her rendition was terrible but I wouldnt have found it without her.

[@ruthmckee4905]

A wonderful dose of Leia. Medicine to my soul. Thank you.

[@kein-lebenx-x2197]

[@williamtell6750]

I love her joie de vivre!

[@jessdugdale6919]

I’ll be honest: I found this after I gave up on trying to find a live video of Itzhak Perlman playing this. I’m not at all disappointed to have found her instead. Love how into it she was from the beginning. Her violin has such lovely sound. It is ✨singing✨

[@localboy333]

Such a marvelous performance!!!...and I luv her hair bouncing to the music!!!...

[@adilnimrod.r7930]

The harmonics are magnificent and the pizzicato is very clear and beautiful

[@hansdekorver7365]

Can only give one "like ". And also very good piano accompaniment.

[@nicholeayemusic]

Wow! All grown up! Such wise and talented young lady!

[@jeffglanstein4489]

I am laughing at the amount of joy I get from watching and listening to this performance, Leah is such a musician as she allows herself to become part of the music, absorbed in her interpretation of the composer's intent. This was so much fun. I am happy to see her happy, also.

[@linglingwannabe6732]

Oh my god. Love the energy!

[@susannestechow]

She enjoys playing that piece. These people play the hardest pieces by heart! What an ability to memorize music! I played once some violin pieces (different concerto movements for some different exams) by heart as well. But it was more than 30 years ago. But I think that I could only play really hard violin music by heart If I studied one piece one year long every day. But I have not time now to practize so much because of so much other work. I dream of one day when I have time to practize on violin at least one day long - and I have nothing else to do!

[@kongchunwah3374]

You got impact with the music from your soul, so sensitive, down bow staccato, great job!

I never get bored of repeating this video over a over. Really great! I found this because is the intro song of a spanish program called "Palabras al aire" of Cesar Vidal. Maybe you could check it out someday. Greetings!

[@pianosolo3687]

i am your fan!!!!! and this is my favorite play😍👍 Your various movement and expressions are soooooo stunning!!!!!✨️✨️✨️

[@jackburgess8579]

It is a shame that comments have been turned off for the companion piece, Playera. Your performance of it is really excellent! I know you like to stretch yourself technically but it is actually refreshing to hear your musicality and sensitivity come so much more to the fore in a relatively simple piece.

[@jackburgess8579]

@Veery Sleeepy Of course, what you say about Zapateado is quite right! But I didn't say anything about Zapateado or Leia's performance of it. It is her performance of Playera that I spoke and of, and it is that piece that I called "relatively simple."

[@jackburgess8579]

@Veery Sleeepy Thanks, of course no problem!

[@RosaGrau2014]

Great!

[@simonrobinson2272]

Your playing gets better and better every time you perform on KZbin. This was a very accomplished performance. You incorporated some dance like gestures which is novel for you and I wasn't sure if perhaps these weren't slightly overdone. Maybe you have so much spare energy!

[@hofmusikus91]

Beautiful in all respects; crisp pizzicati, soft harmonics, creamy legato and cantabile...I wonder if less facial expressions other seizure-like movements could be avoided to get the audience more focused on the music itself...

[@Shadenxox6]

the chords were actually clean, wth

[@davidleesn]

well caught Spanish flair… with use of heels 👠 and castanets …. and mind your shoulders ( keep your good breath control going) when playing through the seductive dark emotions of his ‘Playera’… you sacrifice and work your left shoulder and arm a great deal. Avoid pain that tells you(the body’s only language that can make us listen!)you are overdoing it despite having started so early ….and aware of the importance of warming up (remember the badminton episode you described)… keep your marvellous relaxed posture that has opened so much to others impossible possibilities for you!

[@remember9097]

wow

[@jacks5kids]

This is great, but Midori's performance of 2006 might never be beaten.

[@SuSu-yo4mf]

You might be right but I like this performance better

La technique est o.k… mais le son n’est pas joli. En plus, elle bouge trop. Elle est violoniste, pas un singe! Aucune comparaison possible avec Christian Li.

Good effort but a long way off midori's

[@esmeraldamankey4569]

Different style, different approach... one could say midori's approach beautifies the zapateado dance which some can take that as a negative.
