      I’ve got to tell you, I watched him live and instead of having a conductor, he played lead violin and he was exuding joy the whole time and all the members of the orchestra looked so happy. It was beautiful.

    Cannot imagine how many times he must have played this concerto, yet, his enthusiasm and joy he expresses for the music and toward other musicians and audience as if this was the first time, is a greatest gift. Yet, he seems so humble, and to be this great. He would rather give the ovation to the orchestra than receiving it for himself. I just love listening and watching him play. Thank you.

    Gil Shaham is my favorite player overall....consistently amazing interpretations on everything he plays. The top is wide and filled with wonderful artists, as is the level just below. We are blessed to have such a rich array of performers these days to choose from...especially here on youtube...where one can analyze and critique to hearts content. But the test is when someone can turn out a performance of Wieniasky concerto no.1 in live performance, and own it!! Only two I know of so far...Gil Shaham and Midori.

    Shaham is a favorite in Germany. He actually had a weak beginning in the Mendelssohn but the rest was pretty good. I heard him live with the San Francisco Symphony in this same concerto and it was much better than this. Sometimes he looks like he is trying to play instead of just playing. At times, he had the Bach thing sounding like an Irish reel but his intonation was truly flawless. But he is, after all, a great fiddler and musician.

      It is not Shaham, but the sound engineering that is weak, at least at the outset. The recording engineer cranked up the volume of the orchestra at the expense of the violin. Either his priorities or my ears are off!

    BRAVO!!! Every note was played mechanically correct with musical calculation.It’s nice to see a human
    robot with programmed feeling. A lot of 1st position, open strings, harmonics? Basic correct playing.1st
    mvt. good. 2nd mvt. was okay. 3rd mvt. was great, the best perfect performance!!! I was surprised to see
    him play the last note in 3rd pos. on the G str. as opposed to 1st finger on the D str. Very sterile and safe. Everything correct but not memorable. Fake feeling with no individual character.
