Tchaikovsky: "Melodie" (vaimusic.com)

[@Largo64]

I keep coming back to this. It's already one of the most beautiful melodies, and Ugorski plays it, I have to say, perfectly. Lifschitz is a sensitive accompanist, which makes a lot of difference in the overall presentation. This may be the best performance of this piece I have ever heard.

Keep coming back as well. Truly a gorgeous presentation

[@howardmurray9116]

I loved the subtitles of the vibrato and the tiny extra touches of the bow. Nice work!

[@JeremyNasmith]

Tchaikovsky had such a gift for melody, and these two interpreted it beautifully. Great performance.

[@prettypianogirl654]

There`s so much I`d like to say about this video. It leaves my heart breathless.

[@meadowlarkascending]

Ravishingly lovely playing! Thank you, both of you.

I have been "away" from solo performances that this video was a most welcome surprise! (I was actually looking for a better rendition of the complete "Souvenir d'un Lieu Cher" than what's currently available online when I stumbled into this Ugorski/Lifschitz performance.) You could tell the depth of Ugorski's passion despite the almost indiscernible expression on his face as he played. Lifschitz is a wonderful, keenly sensitive accompanist who remained "in tune" with the passion as the composition progressed. Thank you so much for publishing this performance on KZbin.

[@loosemarbles]

Beautiful... Is the only word...

[@Perlman78]

Great performance, great sound in G string

[@nichka1983]

Sensational and utterly sensual performance - Bravissimo!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LiaCheri]

i can't believe there's a dislike... i really love this melodie... so beautiful

[@dANikA10100]

I love this performance! It always captures my soul when I hear this haha.

[@suzukigirl950]

ravishing. piercing. gorgeous

[@mbrace9402]

Unbelievably good! he's the best

[@Largo64]

Sounds wonderful to me.

[@NadinViolin]

на мой взгляд, лучшее исполнение Мелодии

[@carlthemightyduke]

it's so rich and lush!

[@TiagoHikaru]

Wow! Perfect!

[@Largo64]

This was just beautiful! I had not heard of Eugene Ugorski before today. I hope I hear a lot more. The local classical radio station in my area plays a lot of Joshua Bell, but I think this young man is at least as good.

[@antonioszabo8766]

Much better than Bell and does not make stupid grimaces.

[@danmessias]

Excellent performance !

[@sumacvln]

Incredible

[@kaniblurous]

Ah, what a magnificent piece of evidence! I would have to say, your invaluable service has allowed us to take a better insight in the case. Well done, my dear Watson!

[@rowan3751]

Words cant describe how amazing that was. Now i know how to play the peice like a boss:)

[@parthoroy9141]

Beautifully played. My Chihuahua prefers "Souvenir d'un chien légère" though

[@roselovesdogs12]

really good piece, im trying to learn this piece for my grade 7 exam, it is really challenging, but fun to learn as well.

[@fiddleher1]

I know for a fact that his bow arm is most definitely not French. His teachers, Igor and Vesna Gruppman, are known for being one of the few who actually teach the Auer bow arm, more commonly known as the Russian bow arm or grip. I would know, I studied with both of them!

[@johnyotunga4505]

amazing.... mind-blowing

[@bakanekochansucrettelove3675]

une très belle prestation je suis impressionner par cette melodie elle et apaisante calme magnifique quoi

[@ANTONIVSLVCIVS]

Wonderful interpretation!!

[@kinwilliam8849]

How do you even play the second section so gracefully T.T

[@細川敏夫-w8k]

正直言って演奏はまだまだですが、一生懸命演奏している姿がとてもよいです。

[@raffamon1946]

Bellissima esecuzione. Grazie

[@kahochan13]

[@annayo0]

[@Damuzikal1]

lovely

[@leoncioviolin]

BRAVO. PRECIOSO.

[@hochang927]

enjoy it.

[@TECstudioSuzukiViolin]

The bow hold is actually more French. The deep pronation gives the tone color that distinctive dark soudn that you hear up against the bridge. It really works for a piece like this. If anything it might make staccato more difficult. He has a very signiture tone color coming from his bow arm. THe elbow would be up over his shoulder if it were a Conventional Russian bow arm.

[@WorldStrings]

You are absolutely right about the bow arm being French because it originated from Wieniawski who brought it to Belgium and France. This bow arm (hold, only it’s not only the hold) Leopold Auer inherited while teaching his students in Russia. Now about the staccato- no it is actually easier to play staccato this way. Try it, and you will see (if you will do this kind of bow arm correctly of course, because the arm weight is properly utilized and it’s coming from the back)

[@김태양-m9e]

good impression!

[@ita2255]

What a great performance!! Good style and techniqe of both hands. Good school!! What is the school/teacher name?

[@WorldStrings]

I am Eugene’s teacher! My name is Vesna Gruppman and I am a former student of Yuri Yankelevich , Igor Bezrodnij at the Moscow Conservatory and Yasha Heifetz in the US. I have been Professor of violin at varius universities in the US and Europe (Netherlands). I have been teaching Eugene since he was 5 years old all the way until his career took off.

[@TheFlakpanzer40]

@justajiffy123 I dont know if he has a different part than me, but in the trills he did not sustain. He stopped the second trill before going to the 3rd one. He did not connect them. But, as I said, very good!

[@gabarosalesa]

Better sound ,better interpretation, better everything compared to Joshua who looks like he is trying not to defecate.

[@antonioszabo8766]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@leoncioviolin]

bravo

[@Largo64]

@LiaCheri The dislike just blows your mind, doesn't it? What kind of neanderthal could find fault with this performance?

[@자몽-f8c]

good!

[@slazenko1405]

yea since hes eugene ugorski гениально

[@levsca14]

i wanna know how to use vibrato

[@justajiffy123]

@TheFlakpanzer40 Mistakes- please?

[@AnimeAdik027]

HAHAHAHA. In 1:20 i imagine that the string snap! XD *LA CORDA D' ORO!*

[@chita1205]

[@cowtastic14]

someone missed the like-button...

[@gabriellajonsson8011]

Spelar den som den skall låta

[@justajiffy123]

@TheFlakpanzer40 Probably. My violin teacher always changes a bit here and a bit there. Sometimes it sounds better than the original- I think she's a genius. Are you learning or professional? Such a surprise this song and that Vivaldi something movement are both in the Grade 7 Royal School of Music examination pieces... One that's challenging 10/10, the other 3/10... Awkward!

[@paulb9842]

16 People need subtitles to understand...

[@OhYouReckonDoYa]

beautiful technique, but i feel the vibrato is a bit too violent for such a piece.

[@TheFlakpanzer40]

@justajiffy123 LOL, same with my teacher. I'm learning of course, even my teacher pointed out mistakes, but he said it was ok cuz this guy is too pro not to forgive.

[@LetTheMusicFlow1]

there is a difference between conventional and russian bowing.....i cant give u much more info, on the fact that i play piano, not violin......:)

[@marsvltor2]

del Gesù?

[@WorldStrings]

No, Guadanini

[@sgtsucc5348]

holdup guys my samsungs ringing

[@danielwowman]

[@scooterk23]

@Perlman78 fail

[@StanLeeFan12]

Anyone here because of the Sherlock Holmes games?

[@викторрето]

да

[@myselffull]

can you see the dislike bar, cause i sure as hell cant!

[@vincentm2547]

I love the technical proficiency here, nice big sound, confident etc. But really your approach is very abrasive and does not compliment the music. It's too aggressive. This music needs a passion that is matched with tenderness. There is too much drama here, it's not really required... My own opinion.

[@FloydTurpenteen]

Vincent, please post a link to your performance so we can hear how much better it sounds with the tender passion with which you imbue it.

[@i_am_acai]

You don't need to be a musician to voice your tastes on music.

[@meadowlarkascending]

Abrasive? Perhaps we were listening to different recordings here...

[@MrJumpie14]

Hes tender when the music requires it and dramatic when the accents are written and build ups are present. Either way the passion comes through indefinitely that really gives the piece character. If you heard heifetz rendition you would understand that this piece is not tender despite the name and style. Each musician at this level plays from their own characteristics not just to match the style of the piece.

[@facebotter]

I personally prefer the roughness; tchaikovsky never seemed the gentle type to me, and in my eyes it speaks a testament to tchaikovsky's own passion :)

[@justajiffy123]

@camouflagesavage Three dislikes- :O !

[@Tamiyaviolin]

Way too I h vibrato on the quavers at the start

[@levsca14]

that's a lot of vibrato

[@WorldStrings]

In the old traditions of the great masters !
