Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D major - Gil Shaham /Ryan Bancroft /LPO

[@philippeherridge2401]

I just love Gil Shaham ❤

[@dkalir]

Unbelievable! Perfect. Simply perfect. Rich. Colorful. Extremely accurate. Full of gusto. Gil "grows" into the Concerto he performed so many times - both in studio and live - in ways that even Peter Elych himself would find hard to recognize. As I've written many times, Gil has Hafetz' accuracy, Perlman's warmth, Menuchin's virtuoso, and Stern's passion. He's THAT good. Thank you maestro Gil, and thank you to the LPO allowing such a star to shine among them. Excellent performance!!!

i never seen him live. but i cn feel his energy...sharing with the audience

[@ErnestUngureanu]

Încercați să-l ascultați pe David Oistrah - și-l veți uita pe Gil Shaham.

[@ioana938]

@@ErnestUngureanu There can be more than one great interpretation. Gil Shaham are un ton minunat - atit de clar si curat, un ritm care aduce orchestra impreuna. E important sa incercam so apreciem noi versiuni, chiar cind am ascultat giganti ca David Oistrach...

MAGISTRAL interpretación del célebre Concierto para Violín compuesto por el genial maestro ruso del Romanticismo P.I. Tchaikovsky por esta importante orquesta londinense actuando como solista el mítico y prestigioso violinista estadounidense de origen israelí Gil Shaham. Cuando se unen tres condiciones fundamentales como son una excelente obra musical, una gran orquesta y un extraordinario concertista el resultado final es evidentemente una auténtica JOYA musical para deleite de nuestros oídos. BRAVO !!!. Saludos desde España.

[@danielgaisford]

What a wonderful performance. Love that fiddle! Such a crisp, clear sound with color. Amazing. Bravo, Gil.

[@Musicnyc777]

Beautiful pacing and tone colors, quite amazingly in tune and flawless. Such lovely melodies he brings out including contrasting sections. Enjoy his playing for his long bows, tasteful dynamic range and great ensemble playing listening to others, while playing very precisely in all aspects as a fine world class virtuoso.

[@cerasus1279]

Gil is the best ever! I can feel his enthusiasm for this great piece. Thank you for sharing!!

[@duggiefresh8170]

Crisp, enlightened and just a wonderful performance. I've ardently admired Mr. Shaham ever since seeing him on TV when I was a teenager. I was sawing away in high school orchestra at the time and watched him play some Wieniawski piece on Good Morning America. Couldn't even comprehend how good he was. It made me depressed for awhile.

[@ivanotcddercoled1929]

Superlative. You can't go past a performance of thus calibre. Congratulations also to the London Philarmonic and Ryan Bankcroft. No audience but now available to the world audience.

[@godfreypigott]

Best version I've heard.

[@JustFiddler]

[@cornel999]

how enjoyable this piece is when soloist and orchestra just get on with it, without a lot of sentimental wallowing. very refreshing. and Gil is still playing his 2017 Gaybaryan fiddle. proof you don't have to bankrupt yourself to get a world class violin.

[@JustFiddler]

😇

[@talladale]

Love your comment about violinists not having to bankrupt themselves in order to play a nice instrument. My favorite female violinist, Sayaka Shoji, who plays this really well, too, plays a Stradivarius, but I understand it's on a long term loan from a Japanese music academy or some such establishment. I'm sure you've heard Gil Shaham playing Carmen Fantasy. Now that IS fantastic!

[@jerrydavis1475]

The sound may be good but the shiny red colour varnish on it is not very nice to look at !

[@cornel999]

@@jerrydavis1475 yeah, it kind of looks like red plastic. they've got weird lights there, maybe that's part of it. i'm sure Gil would not be playing it if it didn't sound great.

[@adambe1126]

Something tells me that it probably still wasn't cheap. I would be quite surprised if it was cheaper than 100k but would be interested to know if anyone can find the actual price. I would also add the while this instrument sounds good, his recordings on the strad that he used to play sound much better imo when it comes to the quality of tone.

[@fatherabe99]

I just love Gil Shaham as well as I have watched him live with Detroit Symphony conducted by Nicholas McGegan. I just love it as I watched enjoy himself, and the music so much!

[@jefolson6989]

Gil has a very old fashioned style. Lots of fast bow. You can almost smell burning rosin! And he loves music in the way I do- it takes the place of sports. If he wasn't a pro, he'd do it for the fun of it. He's the very best around now.

[@jopirateconnor3589]

wonderful performance.

[@unclejuniorsoprano]

THIS STYLE OF PLAYING WAS COMMON WITH THE GREAT VIOLINSTS OF THE PAST; HEIFETZ, OISTRAKH, MILSTEIN, ETC. MOST OF TODAY'S VIOLINISTS BORE ME. THIS PERFORMANCE REMINDS ME OF THOSE GREAT VIOLINISTS OF THE 20th CENTURY. I HAVE MOST OF GIL SHAHAM'S RECORDINGS, BECAUSE HE IS PLAYS MUSICALLY & TO PERFECTION. THE SLURS DONE AT 8:18 ARE MAGNIFICENTLY EXECUTED. VERY SMOOTH & IN TEMPO. ALSO, VERY FEW VIOLINISTS CAN PLAY 29:07 & 33:28 AS DISTINCTLY AS GIL SHAHAM DOES. LISTEN TO JOSHUA BELL, FOR EXAMPLE; HE FLUBS IT. BUT THEN, SO DO MANY OTHERS.

[@gregorydocenko4019]

He is a great violinist. NOTES! I wonder why he skirts the issue of standard higher position fingerings, by using much easier 1st position fingerings. Very educated cerebral phrasing with calculated feeling and technique. But you can’t live without a heart. In this case an artificial one! Do you prefer: digital photograph, or, analog painting!

[@pascalmayer9421]

great performance by gil, just wish i wasn't looking at a cellist's bow playing eighth notes during all of the important passages

[@gregorydocenko4019]

Again, great playing!!!. The violin and strings are not what we usually see (old) artists of this caliber using. Does anyone know what violin and strings he is using?

[@MaggieBoy12345]

Not sure the type of strings, I think it's a violin by Andranik Gaybaryan. Very powerful and brilliant.

[@adriendecroy7254]

Which edition is this? It's quite different (many different passages) than the ones I am used to. I expect Tchaikovsky published several versions.

[@violinmaker4271]

All the other soloists driving model-Ts while Gil Shaham drives a Ferrari

[@gregorydocenko4019]

It is quite interesting on how he uses many harmonics instead of solid fingered notes. It is refreshing to know that you can get away with this easier option!

[@adriendecroy7254]

harmonics are not necessarily easier. Especially not to find balance between normal and harmonics if you are playing occasional harmonics in a run of normal notes.

[@gregorydocenko4019]

@@adriendecroy7254 The actual instrument/strings/bow makes a difference. With my one violin,I totally agree with you. My other violin knocks out everything with ease and clarity. Even the double harmonics when playing Paganini Concerto.

[@adriendecroy7254]

@@gregorydocenko4019 I wasn't referring so much to how the harmonic may sing or sound out, but the fact that you have to use your LH finger quite differently, with a light touch, and this can be pretty tricky to squeeze into a passage of normally-fingered notes. Maybe easier if you're using the finger you just played a stopped note with.

[@gregorydocenko4019]

@@adriendecroy7254 You are correct. But, I was referring to how each violin makes you able/play differently. After 40 yrs. of searching I finally found a violin that matches me. I could always play everything, (Juilliard trained)but when you get a violin that clicks with you. You easily can play as you want to with that individual sound. It’s really not tricky for me. I played Tchaikovsky concerto when I was 10. My reviews always compared me to Heifetz, Stern, Milstein. Check out my faculty recital on Gypsy music at Buffalo State College. I was using a Kono violin recommended by Joshua Bell. It was okay. I really didn’t like it. I can’t wait to put out videos with my new violin.

[@respekt200]

Orchestra on the loud side mix wise. Hard to watch this video editing, when conductor, while pretty good at his job, not in sync. Gil is great - technically, phraseology and sound wise of his instrument itself. Really nice. But overall came out some what dry, probably. I don't see images and don't see why he is doing this. What the reason. Statement. What is he fighting for, if you wish. Do these people understand what they try to say with this piece of music. I see they play right notes, follow right dynamic, strokes, but why, why and why? What are you trying to say?! We're playing right notes? And that's it?! Please. OK. I'm totally wrong. How about this version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZOti5iEodeMgck
