Esta música, su autor, sus intérpretes y todo lo que ella implica nos dice que Dios existe y vale la pena vivir! Adoro a Bizet, admiro a Claudio Abbado y desde hoy, porque hoy lo conocí, amo a Gil Shaham. ¡Viva la Música y sus grandes intérpretes!
Gil Shaham!!! OMG! Both Bizet and Saritate would wake up from their rest to listen to that... They, too, would hear this piece like they've never heard it before. Even Cladio Abado was blown away..... What more can be said? Accuracy? - better than Chaifetz. Warmth? - better than Perlman. Whimsical? - better than Paganini himself. Gil Rocks!!!
I first saw this a half hour ago on Classic Arts Showcase, and sat there saying "Wow!" the entire time! I'm so glad to have thus link so I can share it!
The best Sarasate Carmen - and it is best by some distance - is the one Midori gave at Bernstein's 70th birthday concert (although unfortunately she had to make a couple of cuts to shorten the performance). I would also recommend Chloe Chua's performance in recital at the Atlanta festival in 2019. Her characterisation of Carmen is more compelling than Gil's. Both performances are on YT.
Gil Shaham's Violin, the 1699 Countess Polignac Stradivarius, is different from most other Strads; it is narrower and longer (slim), and was conceived in the period 1690-1700, the decade in which Stradivari experimented with its long model, with greater flattening of the belly. The old “liutaio” was a genius, who even changing its primitive form, made in its new model the sound flow like magic.
Gil Shaham is a violin phenomenon. All of the other versions on youtube are much slower and simply not at the same level on musicianship. You can also see that he uses the hard and correct fingering that Sarasate intended for this. He may be a little off-key here and there, but the overall is no less than stunning. One can see the admiration on the orchestra members' faces at the end, and you can bet that these musicians have witnessed first hand some well-played performances in the past. Nobody makes this piece come alive like him - singing, mourning, dancing with passion and ever inspiring. The only violin player today at his level of playing is Lisa Batiashvili, but unfortunately there is no recording of her palying this piece on TH-cam. For years, I've regarded Shaham's Brahms concerto from the above concert (with Abbado and the Berliner) to be the ultimate version, until I stumbled upon Batiashvili's version, which is found on youtube in two different concerts and is flawless on both. She is indeed "The queen of violin", and if any of you can upload her version of Carmen Fantasy please do so.
Certain recordings become the iconic version of a piece, and this is certainly one of those
By far the best performance of Carmen Fantasy!!!
What a rendition! I keep coming back to it over the years.
The best ever performance of this piece!!
Virtuousically, perhaps the best performance ever by a solo violinist.
Best performance ever, the phrasing and the interpretation is at its finest
音楽は私たちの人生に寄り添って側にある。何というのか音楽には助けられている。演歌、ロックもそうである。私はそろそろ終焉だが、礼を言うよ。 2020 February 6 .
Perfección, belleza absoluta... Bendición para mis oidos. Gracias!!!
best version of Carmen Fantasy
This was a live perf in 1991 I think in Mumbai. Gil's debut. Remember trying to tape this off of a TV. Phenomenal.
I was incredibly lucky to see Gil play the finale from this piece at a concert in LA a few years ago, as an encore. Best day ever.
more than perfect ! His carmen stops me from listening other versions of carmen.
How can violin sounds clear like this...! Fantastic tempo !!
박찬정 I agree! What a genius. I can't believe anyone can move their fingers that fast!
+Sergio Barrale I haven't heard of her, but I'll certainly check her out. Thanks for the comment.
Gerhard Taschner's piano accompanying version is very similar to this , very fine too :）
박찬정 Sarah Chang plays beautifully
@@dionisiobravo7367 not as well as Augustin hadelich
I got to see Mr. Shaham this past week with the Cleveland Orchestra. What a joy!
His tone is too sweet！
Perfect Maestro.
Perfect Orchestra.
Perfect Violist.
Perfect Instrument.
Perfect Hall....
アバドとシャハム、ベルリン、パレルモでのブラームスも素晴らしすぎ
忘れられない演奏となった。このカルメンも見事としか言えない。
本当に感謝します。
as far as interpretation and emotion, Gil is consistently my favorite violinist. he also has the best sounding violin out there.
John Pena he may not have the best sounding violin, but he clearly makes it sound as if it was the best violin !
Hey u
9:16 the bowing was stunning!
Wow. Even the pizzicato is superb. And it makes you also think about what geniuses the composers were.
the best version I've ever seen

bůh není, bohužel
I can't find any other version better than this one......all the vocabulary words in the dictionary can't describe this GREAT performance enough.
One of my best interests is to see how the soloists' expressions - how joyful they are!
I didn't know how technical he could play when I heard it back in the day. The best performance..!
Ohhh WOW What an absolute treat!!!❤️
Pulsing be the strings ... passions in expression... BRAVO!!
What a boss! Tremendous charisma and power eminating! Also, god-like trills with 4th finger, and man! What a tightened bow!
This is God version
yup
Remembering watching this on TV when it aired in Sweden. Awsome violinplaying
this version is superb...Gil Shaham y Claudio Abado
❤👍👍👍
Gil Shaham, il miglior violinista vivente in assoluto!
Grazie maestro Abbado per la tua impeccabile direzione!
sì, Gieanni, è molto vero, ma non dimenticare Itzhak Perlman!
Perelman☝️
Gil Shaham!!! OMG! Both Bizet and Saritate would wake up from their rest to listen to that... They, too, would hear this piece like they've never heard it before. Even Cladio Abado was blown away..... What more can be said? Accuracy? - better than Chaifetz. Warmth? - better than Perlman. Whimsical? - better than Paganini himself. Gil Rocks!!!

He added a grace note in the 3rd set of 16ths in the final mvt ending runs. Hard!!!!
Gil Shaham! O talento que honra os imortais, autores das peças que toca!
També ele será imortal.
A.M.
Breathtaking interpretation, including the orchestra. If anyone knows a better version please let me know. I don’t.
