[@Metaliinuxite]

All of you guys who say they can't feel the soul, you should ignore the technical aspect of the piece and listen for the music. You guys are paying so much attention to the details that you don't allow yourselves to have an idea of what the 'bigger picture' looks like. Trust me, the music IS there. The soul is present, something nearly divine.

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

I mean, I see he feels the music deeply, and he plays it beautifully, but his sound is not up to scratch. If I compare it to, say, Hirschorn’s rendition, then you can see the clear differences. Hirschorn’s sound was warmer, richer, and more textured. He took his time and every note had a rich, full sound and was clearly articulated whereas many notes here get lost in the speed. So I don’t know what soul you are referring to, but as a violinist myself, I judge other musicians by their sound, and while this was a flashy performance, I personally do not believe his sound is on par with those musicians like Hirschorn or Stern or Perlman. He is musical, but that can only take you so far. And also I think he was just a bit nervous and his vibrato was tight and his bow arm a bit stiff and he didn’t give every note the time it deserved, which is totally understandable given the competition environment. Any violinist knows the pressure even the most lighthearted performance can bring, so I understand how he is feeling😊

[@gnatural]

Rare Pepe lol not exactly . Being a professional orchestra musician is incredibly difficult and it’s a completely different language from solo playing . For example I know people who have taken over 30 auditions before landing their dream job . Or consider the concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra who took so many auditions over a span of 12 years before finally becoming concertmaster . It’s like comparing apples and oranges . A good soloist is not necessarily a great orchestral musician or even chamber musician .

[@thespeedicle3574]

this comment made me mad. Paganini didn't write this concerto just to listen to someone else's cadenza for "20 minutes" albeit the player in this video did an incredible job doesn't mean the rest of the concerto isn't worth listening to.

It's an absolute crime that he got silver to a student of the president of the committee. Besides the technical ability, his performance of the modern piece was miles ahead. This kind of corruption has always happened to some degree, but it used to be if there was another player that was so obviously superior the judges would do the right thing. Queen Elizabeth, Paganini (see the recent results with Accardo's students), Tchaikovsky are all jokes now.
