Intonation is not great (compared with your average virtuoso performance). Okay, maybe he's having an off day, but it's still way better than anyone in the comments can play.
I wonder that too...they're both brilliant but somehow Midori sounds better to me? I've watched about 30 other videos trying to find one better or just as great as her and this is the closest its gotten so far. I've come to the theory that she's superhuman.
As a curiosity, the composer of this work, Pablo Sarasate (Navarra, Spain), appears in Conan Doyle´s "Sherlock Holmes" novels as one of the favourites detective´s authors.
tighter bow increases responsiveness, and allows for faster play. Though I have to admit it is slightly tight. Not to worry, I'm sure he knows his instrument very well.
Yes there are slightly more "perfect" versions on youtube, but this is the only one that makes me smile and laugh with the sheer joy of it. I want his up bow stoccato!
I like his embellishments on this piece. He has an interesting style. One thing I noticed was how tight his bow is. That's some tension. There's a video of Henryk Szeryng playing this exquisite piece, and after the intro and first bit of pizz, he took a quick second to tighten his bow a bit more before proceding with the rest of the piece. I guess a little more bow tension goes well with this piece.
i do hear a few notes not pinned down to perfect intonation, but i rather watch his performances of sarasate than any other "perfect" ones. he transfroms the notes to music, real music.
Critics are like back seat drivers:- they will tell you how drive (or do what your'e doing) criticise the way you do it but if you ask them do do it themselves they go quiet because thye can't.
@xXLeafXNinjaXx I have tried this approach to my own fiddle playing, and of course it all depends on your utensils, but the almost excessive tightening of his bow allows for more of the wonderfully complex overtones of his Strad to come out. He simply grazes the string and allows the violin to speak for itself. I like the pure sound that he has--I'm not sure if this is his secret to achieving that aspect of his playing, but it sure seems like that's the most practical way of explaining it.
If you watch the video, he does look at the sheets as well, but for the most part, violinists memorize their music. Doesn't stop Gil Shaham from being exceptional
@nietoerick This looks like it's part of the same recital in which he performed the Zigeunerweisen (which the whole thing seems to be available on youtube). I noticed his bow is this tight in the other pieces. Violins don't have a union in which they all decided to behave the same way. I'm guessing that bow is soft, so it needs to be tighter. There's nothing dogmatic about the instrument though. It may also be something to do with that particular instrument, or the strings on it.
This is the best interpretation for this piece. Those who feel there are intonation problems must wish to be half as good. I've heard the Perlman version too. No disrespect to Maestro Perlman, this is far more expressive.

Je mets beaucoup de musique sur Facebook (Camille Bouchard St-Constant). Je n'ai pas le temps d'échanger avec personne ayant trop de musique à écouter. Merci pour votre invitation. Bonne fin de soirée
I only write this comment because there are so many fan made ultra-pro-comments: I hear lots of intonation problems and not the best articulation either. I dont say I can play it better, but looking for a video that validates shahams reputation, this is not it... and some other on youtube also... if you can recommend me something, please go for it.!
las desafinaciones son mínimas, y si no las hubiera sería una interpretación casi inhumana... en mi opinión toca muy bien, expresa y disfruta lo que está tocando, que es muy importante =)
@jomonja I didn't say I could play it better. My comment was about a international soloist of the highest esteem who played a Sarasate show piece, at least technically, with major flaws. I hope you could hear the intonation mistakes as well as the sloppy bow distribution...when someone of this caliber, and Gil Shaham is a violinist who I look up to, plays a piece like this, it is disappointing, because you expect perfection, thus my comment "every violinist has an off day."
I was surprisingly disappointed with this performance. To be perfectly honest, it was technically all over the place....I found myself cringing at certain spots, because the intonation was so off. The spirit of the piece was there, but I would expect a more technically brilliant performance from shaham. Then again, every violinist has an off day.
@jomonja I'm a conservatory student who's played in masterclasses for Gil Shaham, and I know, even he would agree, that the execution was definitely not anywhere near what he wanted it to be.
@jomonja And judging from your youtube account (and seeing how your only favorites are of wind instruments), I am guessing that you are not a violinist. If you were a violinist and studied/were familiar with the piece, you would identify with exactly what I wrong prior, which is what user andreasamati also agreed with.
@carmyvinci I'll try to clarify my question, again. Considering the size of a bow, I don't see how ANY materials (wood, horse hair, or synthetic) all together could POSSIBLY cost more than $100 to $200. Weight, flexibility, bounciness, etc., would be included in the cost of materials. So the other $2,800 of a $3,000 bow would HAVE to be charged for the quality of craftsmanship. My QUESTION is/was: Why is that craftsmanship worth so much? Is it THAT hard to make a good bow?
@davehshs sorry, let me clarify. weight, flexibility and bounciness all attribute to better handling of the bow especially at the tip, the frog, and when used for certain techniques, like spiccato for example. and certain materials work better for performance than others, they're starting to use synthetic material for bows like fiberglass and synthetic hairs which is a cheap alternative but doesnt give as good performance. together, all of this attributes to the price.
@davehshs yes, i see now what you were saying about the materials,despite the quality, themselves being only up to about $200(besides wood which certain types can be pretty pricey). as for the craftsmanship, instrument quality is one of those things where there is a significant difference between good, great, and perfect. music isnt almost, its exact, gil shahams playin a 2 mil violin when he could make a 10g violin sound nearly as nice, but not the same.
I this helped my stress after listening to miss Mississippi play this
Max Berg I came here for the exact same reason.
me too i felt that my ears where raped by miss mississippi not that i can do better ;)) XD
bwahahahaha! Oh the humanity!
One more here
Prefer midori version of this it's memorable too
Intonation is not great (compared with your average virtuoso performance). Okay, maybe he's having an off day, but it's still way better than anyone in the comments can play.
Expectation: This violinist playing Zapateado.
Reality: *insert Miss Mississippi video*
Miss Mississippi is more pleasant looking, less pleasant sounding.... you can't have it all
@@ImNotADeeJay hilary hahn
@@ImNotADeeJay i bet that she would sound better, if she switched to the *viola*
@@anotherhumanbeingblyat8935 lmao she might have made violinists more repulsed at the viola if she did
For some reason, I still like Midori even though she played the same song. Is it how she plays that is different?
I wonder that too...they're both brilliant but somehow Midori sounds better to me? I've watched about 30 other videos trying to find one better or just as great as her and this is the closest its gotten so far. I've come to the theory that she's superhuman.
Intonation, Intonation, Intonation. Midori is simply much more accurate.
She was succinct with her bowing, so the notes are more accurate and crisp sounding.
But come on, Ms. Mississippi was the best right? jk
Nah, he’s ok and Missouri was pretty good too, but they’re no match for Miss Mississippi
Twoset violin brought me here
and they were close enough
Haha, same! :)
Same. They did an excellent job.
what video of theirs sent you here?

Without him no concerto would be possible ^.^
They can also be nightmares if they don't do their job well haha. I recall Yuja Wang being so pissed at her incompetent page turner

A LOT BETTER
SO TRUE!!!!!!

A man of Violin ... ever smiling ...great performance....!
A man of emotion
Perlman is also nailed it
the acommpanist pianist really did well to made this music sounds really good
웹툰보고 왔는데 진짜 사람을 두근거리게 하는 곡이네요bb덕분에 좋은 노래 듣네요 감사합니다:)
the accompanist is awesome too. totally following the guy's expression.
I kinda like Midori’s arrangement more. But this is also really REALLY good
This and Midori are the best iv heard.
I love this guy!!!! He has such a beautiful tone and unique interpretation.
By far my favorite interpretation. If only i had the privilege to listen to him live. He puts the most emotion into it.
Gil Shaham plays fantastically. If you like this piece of music you MUST watch Midori Goto - you have never seen a person play like this!!
Sarasate was a man of wise knowledge. No doubt about it!
Yes there are slightly more "perfect" versions on youtube, but this is the only one that makes me smile and laugh with the sheer joy of it.
I want his up bow stoccato!
OMG that sound is so sooooooft
And everything is so clean, i love it
웹툰보고 찾아온 1인입니다. 자파테아도 라는 곡을 들어보기전에 웹툰으로만 봤을때는 되게 어두운분위기의 노래일줄 알았는데 막상 찾아들어보니 다르네요! 자파테아도 너무 신나고 듣기좋아요♡ㅁ♡

Aparte de que el Zapateado de Pablo de Sarasate es una preciosidad , me emociona muchísimo escucharla.!!
엄청나세요...와...웹툰보고 왔는데 실제로 바이올린 하는 학생입니다 이 곡 해보려하는데...ㄷㄷ대단해요
Came here to know how was Zapateado supposed to sound like, after hearing it in you-know-whose performance.
Gil is one of my favourite violinist! Him and his wife perform well together also :)
anyone else notice that is bow is tight as hell!!!??
Que hermoso y que buen pizzicato de la mano izquierda por Dios!
My pinky hurts from just looking at him hitting the high notes...
Gran autor e interprete por atreverse con el navarro Sarasate, (i like).
江口さんの共演も素晴らしい‼️
Hay que escuchar Navarra.
- Esta interpretación también es preciosa,

Absolutely brilliant!
que talento, que melodia tan dificil y tocarla tiene mucho talento
Great...
First I said "wow!" Then a few minutes later I said "double wow." I ended later with a word I cannot repeat on youtube. This is. It's. Wow.
Bravo!, one of my favorite pieces
or is it
i love this man, i love almost all his interpretations!!!
Maravilhoso. Lindíssimo !!

This performance hits like no other! By far the best performance of this piece!
Lid of the grand should not completely opened.The sound of the violin being drowned.!

I've heard the Perlman version too. No disrespect to Maestro Perlman, this is far more expressive.
Anyone notices him shaking his head every time after those harmonics?
Great performance though
Все пишут я английском, на китайском... А я на РУССКОМ лол..
the best version for me ... hot music !
True and not...Shaham always uses very tight bow regardless of what he is performing
ya i've noticed that.... it's amazing considering the beautiful spicatto he gets! Shaham is just amazing!
Fantastique interprétation de Zapateado ! La plus belle que j'ai entendue.
la version par Perlman est aussi une pure merveille ....
Je suis bien d'accord avec vous mais j'aime beaucoup cette version ci philippe Gerboin

so... my violin wants me to play this for my music auditions in 2 years... she won't let me start it for like a year... aaaah :/
I'm worried about his bow hair
Bravo!!
Porque tiene el arco tan tenso? debe ser para poder hacer los efectos de saltelatto?

Wow, that must have taken a lot of practice!
