Shaham is just Brilliant! He did not just capture the spirit of the composition but the very tragic love story of the butterfly lovers. He triumphs above cultural barrier and embraced human tragedy as a human universal experience.
I am proud to have recorded and toured this wonderful piece with Gil as the part of his lover. Cellist, Nella Hunkins
Gil Shaham has been the top violinists for decades, yet he is such a humble guy without any superstar chips on the shoulder. I am fortunate to have a chance to meet with him backstage before performance, Gil appeared as a regular graduate student, very kind, gentle and genuine... Perhaps it is the ultimate reason why he can touch the very bottom of the soul of this chinese master piece that stunned all. It appears natural and at ease for the pure-hearted one to delivery the finest version of the very very classical chinese work.
All the details across the whole piece, no stone un-turned. He is like purified ballerina unveiling to us with all he has, every movements from finger to the toe, from the start to the very end, full of spirit.
It speaks VOLUMES of the same old saying that music has no boundary. Yun Di Li delivers the Chopin's work with gorgeous touch, and certainly a Jew or anyone else can dig into the roots of the glory of Asian music!
Bravo, Gil Shaham ㊗㊗㊗💯
Absolutely yes!
杰出的👍
主题演绎的非常美，难得的带着一丝丝苦涩的味道，难为老外了，技术性完全融合到艺术里，韵味对了。轻灵，清丽脱俗，乐队细腻，配合的几乎天衣无缝楼台会酸楚动容，凄凄切切，难舍难分，凄美感人。抗婚把戏曲味凌厉尽致，化蝶部，眼泪下来，如泣如诉，仙气逼人。
+Sigfried Wagner Your comment is exactly how I feel about this best version of Butterfly Lovers...

😊😊
分寸把握得非常好，有感情，许多地方不是草草带过，同时技巧和感情又是恰到好处，一点也不过分。难得的是作为一位外国男演奏家，把中国女性那种特有的温柔细腻给表现出来了，堪称完美，可见他是用心去理解梁祝的，这点做得比许多中国的小提琴家都出色。最后化蝶的部分尤其精彩。乐团的配合也十分出色。
jewish is much closer to chinese, cultural and naturally,
he is a deep dive person in all his takes, listening to every piece you will feel he is not doing it for competition or for show off, go deep into basics, so naturally and humbly... he breaks the barrier of Female vs male, western/eastern, White/minorities, he is an internationalist, and you must be if being a good artist, love this low key top artist!
I have listened to this piece over a hundred times... and many times I have shed my tears. One of the best pieces of modern music in China of 20th. century is ever composed, and Gil Shaham has delivered the utmost sense of this love story. While listening, one can imagine a piece of silk cloth full of beautiful colors, subtly blended, flying slowly under the blue sky, graceful, elegant at it's best, and one's emotion flows with it... Enjoy!
hello Diana, looks like you are a die hard fan of Butterfly lovers. My personal favourite is through the chinese bamboo flute, performed by master Chen Hong Yan (陈鸿燕） from Hong Kong. i heard his version when i was a kid and love it ever since.
His latest version found in the youtube is not in his best form as he has aged, His old album can still be found in some chinese website, listening stations.
The very sound of the flute when the music went off is enough to set off goosebumps as the vibration sound of the flute is delicate and sad. The tune than changed iinto a fast and melidious one,,Try it.
Best regards
中国版：罗密欧与朱丽叶
Sin haber leído los comentarios, escuché este concierto y había momentos en que yo dejaba este mundo y volaba hacia un lugar de ensueño. Imagino cosas bellas, puras, vivir en este mundo donde haya amor y no violencia, maldad e justicia.
Muchas gracias por compartir y por la oportunidad de seguir aprendiendo de la cultura china,que siempre he admirado
目前我聽到的最好的梁祝。
A beautiful Concerto played by an equally talented violinist Gil Shaham. Bravo Wunderbar
Absolutely a blessing to have Master Gil Shaham be in love with chinese music, it is obvious he is deeply into this piece and cultural traits. World class and Jewish American, we are looking at the origin of the products: world class artists. Looking Forward, more to come, best way to show the glory and depth of rich culture of China. Appreciate Gil's master work.
This version is absolutely the best I've ever heard, even better than those of many Chinese violinists. Shaham never overdid any note, but the emotion was subtly expressed. None of those glissandos was stiffly played.
轻盈细腻又克制的琴声，准确流畅利落的管弦乐，谢谢伟大的音乐家们共同演绎出感人肺腑的作品。12分左右眼泪止不住，音乐不分国界，人性本应相通……有大自然，有伟大的你们，活着就不再那么艰难。
感情表达非常细腻，所有演奏当中最细腻的。
I attended this concert by Gil Shaham when it was recorded live at the Singapore's Esplanade Hall in 2009. I owned the CD too.
worth to own for sure, will do the same
现场聆听，好幸福。
You are so lucky🥰
the best adaption of this piece. That high notes on violin so smooth.
Exquisite rendition by Gil Shaham. What a talented violinist, interpreting a classic from the Orient!
I still remember driving a few years back while listening to this particular performance, and I had to stop for the entire performance because I was just so mesmerized by the interpretation - coming from Gil Shaham that grabbed my heart like no one could! I was so much in tears listening. Seriously, this is the best interpretation by far!!
I was amazed as this came on the radio when I was driving through San Gabriel a town in the east of Los Angeles, which is heavily chinese and has store signage in Chinese everywhere...and the dramatic background of mountains in the back...it was also a way to feel the history of this land more deeply, and the people who toiled and lived here for generations
@@ansuajo What a deeply felt speaking from the heart comment. Thanks for sharing.
The best rendition I've listened to.👍👏🎻
incredible masterpiece of chinese traditional classical romantic songs
Totally agree this is the best version for Butterfly lovers Concerto, the only one.
Certainly, a new favorite piece of music for me.
Gil Shaham plunges deep into the delicate emotion and expresses the beauty of the ancient culture in the watering region on the southern bank of The Yangtze.
The best interpretation of the bests. Strangely, the soloist interpreted and played better than those Chinese violinists . Singapore Symphony Orchestra sounds even better than any Orchestra in China.
I totally agree, yet, maybe it is not strange, rather it is strange that not many chinese pieces ever be played or challenged by "western", or world class artists... you never know, at least we will not know till having a choice of comparison...
吕思清比他好
I strongly agree with composer Mr. Chen Gang that this is the best rendition ever, how marvelous to rediscover this classic piece in the hands of Mr Gil Shaham, whose subtle and touching performance reminds me of Bai Juyi's poem "A warbling canary glided underneath a blossom. An underground brook purled out of a rock bottom...".
totally agree, and this is the start or early stage of Western or main street classical music lovers to notice the chinese music echo the universal language and technique, interchangeable and inter flows... without "foreign" players to pay, and without such a master, well known humble master to be in the center, be a big loss opportunity for chinese classic music to expand and grow...
The primary author is ZhanHao He. Shaham is the best performer of this Chinese master piece.
This performance is beautiful.
a perfect musical reproduction of a masterpiece of romance
這個版本是無法超越的完美啊！
说实话这版情感理解上差得挺多
Music is a language of it's own. There's a rainbow of colors and yet one cannot pinpoint on a particular color.
The best version I"ve ever heard !
Lovely!!
loved it...thanks for upload.....beautiful.
十多年前聼他現場演奏此曲,是無數演奏者之中最好的,當時有點驚訝,後來買了唱片,也是所有版本中最佳的演繹,這回一點都不意外了.
昨天听了黄蒙拉在芬兰的现场视频，同样感人肺腑。吕思清也是这首协奏曲的最好演绎者。
您太幸運了，好羨慕您度過了非凡的一天！😇
Funny how just a few days ago I heard this on WQXR in NYC and was shocked to find out he was playing this......so beautifully!
拉的真好
one of the best versions of this violin concerto. some different characters from Nishizaki & Suwanai's transcription. All the three are for me very amazing. However, this orchestra play outstandingly from the others.
這是我聽過最棒的版本！
And the orchestra was very great too
One of my favorite renditions. Personally I love the rendition of the piece by Lu SiQing with the Shanghai orchestra. Second comes this. Both players are amazing storytellers.
好好聽😊
Technically this version stands apart, the orchestral playing is superb too. Shaham's version has such subtlety and grace. The composer seemed to have said this recording was his favorite too.
Thank you.
Marvelous.Marvelous.Marvelous.
Esta pieza es hermosa tocada tanto con violín como con ErHu. Me gusta mucho en ambas versiones.
It is said that even the two composers of this piece, Mr. HE Zhanhao and Mr. CHEN Gang (last name capitalized), commented that Mr. Shaham's interpretation was the best among all the players who have played this piece. 据说, 这个版本是作曲家何占豪和陈刚先生认为是他们认为演绎的最好的。 不过,只是据说,。没有看到出处。
agree. 我也觉得是我听到的最好的！
De Chuan 德川 卜
并不是，何占豪和陈刚先生认为最好的是吕思清的第四版梁祝，也是业内认为最好的版本
陈钢先生说，这是外国人（我想可能是指欧美人）中演出最好的。
Actually quite enjoyable.
听来听·去，还是这个版本最佳！
Love it! ❤️
謝謝分享
did not know this was in his repertoire. many thanks, saw Vengerov play this with aplomb in HK, would really like to hear Shaham play it live as well
Very well played
00:00 1. Adagio cantabile
04:58 2. Allegro
07:44 3. Adagio assai doloroso
10:34 4. Pesante -- Piu mosso -- Duramente
14:19 5. Lagrimoso
16:50 6. Presto resoluto
22:24 7. Adagio cantabile
My favorite is the third one. It sounds like it is speaking about the passing of time. Time being so cruel and unforgiving, forcing those trapped within it's embrace to simply move on.
the best!
I took note of Gil Shaham ever since I heard his performance in Beethoven's triple concerto (on TH-cam). His bow strokes are clean, and his tone is velvet and he is very expressive w/o going overboard. Unbelievable playing here too. That is because he is an Israeli, an Easterner too, not a Westerner.
That is so true, not only a none chinese, none asian, but it is a MALE!!!
and Jewish culturally has such a deep and close connection and similarities in many aspects...
It appears he spent most of his time in the States and "west",
Either way, this is such a stunning and positive thing for fine arts. Boundary broke down.
How many times you hear people say that it must be a chinese, and it it best to be a female to deliver, and she must be deep in understanding chinese Yue Opera(originated from) or Peking Opera...
Gil's performance no doubt ranks among the best. His strokes handling the Yue opera melancholy "accent" were good. What stands out the most to me is how heavenly his violin sounded beyond his crisp playing. His violin must be worth a large fortune.
Amazing! Thanks for the upload.
I absolutely agree with you.
Thank you!!!!!!!!
So good a CD recording! Very worth having,
如果只是聽，你會知道這曲子的演奏者是中國人還是外國人？
就好比亞洲人可以理解莎士比亞羅密歐朱麗葉故事一樣，
歐洲人，非洲人一樣可以深入理解梁祝故事，並為之感觸感動。
舉凡人類，不分膚色，七情六慾全都一樣，只有文化習慣與價值觀有出入。
其实听的出来，他拉出来的听不出原始戏曲的感觉，侧重后加部分，建议听听原著戏曲，就感觉出来了。理解你想说的平等，但我也得事实求是，不喜勿喷
@@Tony-ti2vr 你是指梁祝戏曲与梁祝協奏曲的差别？
@@highlandermr8942 不是，梁祝协奏曲有一小部分其实是来源于戏曲，这段戏曲我觉得吕思清拉的更好
作为一个美籍犹太人,Shaham可说拉的很不錯了！甚至可用出色來形容。各人对乐曲的演绎各有独到之处,贝多芬的德奧风格,或者柴可夫斯基的斯拉夫风格等当然由其民族來演绎更接近原著,但音乐沒有国界,先入为主会防碍了欣赏音乐的兴致。
If Yo-yo Ma馬友友 and Yuja Wang王羽佳 can play the western music so well, and beat the occidentals in their own music, why couldn't a westerner does the same in Chinese music? Music has no boundary, just enjoy the best.
Absolutely agree with your opinion! And I also think different musicians can provide diversified but equally excellent interpretations of the same piece of story. It does not matter whether the musician him/herself is born in the place where the story is produced, because the spirit of love stories has no boundary.
haha. When did Yo-yo Ma 馬友友 'beat the occidentals in their own music"? Just google cellist István Várdai and the countless others ...
I think maybe Estern country instead of Russian does't have many great composer?!
一。 刀 刀 勿＂日刀了个
我寻思马友友是完全在欧美国家长大的，王羽佳也是早年出国，你这例子举的也不好啊。
好听
I bought this CD a few years ago.
I've heard many different versions by different artists. This is the best version of the Butterfly Lovers by Gil Shaham with Singapore Symphony Orchestra, better than the versions by Akiko Suwanai (諏訪內晶子), Takako Nishizaki (西崎崇子), Zhongguo Sheng (盛中国), Lu Si-Qing (Lu Si-Qing), Yu Lina (俞丽拿), and other artists.
I got to play this in orchestra, except I couldn't play with the orchestra at the concert. That is regrettable, because this piece is so easy to get lost in, especially knowing the story and being involved. Hearing it allows you to soak it in.
The best
henrykmusic gosh 。
The self-righteous bigots that think Westerners can’t interpret a piece of Chinese music as well as the Chinese themselves can interpret Western music should reconsider their beliefs because Gil Shaham’s is certainly the best rendition of this piece I’ve heard.
totally agree, he also instilled a bit more, seem more purity, beauty and devotion, less sadness, desperation, struggle, torture... He is a guy, Jewish, American, world class, playing and travel all over... it all contributes, And he is so so humble...
听来听去还是喜欢听他的！
It's a matter of personal preference. The version by Gil Shaham is 'quieter' and has a soothing feeling. However, my personal preference is still Akiko Suwani's performance. To see her facial expression and cradelling of the violin as she plays the piece is very exhilarating. And she is so beautiful too !!
tony chew Suwanai's version certainly is a very intense performance especially from the magnificent Dolphino, once owned by Jascha Heifetz. As a performance by itself, it is extremely satisfying. But for a programmed piece, the intensity of the playing should vary more in accordance to the programme.
Lu Siqing's performance with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, perhaps, strikes the best balance in the range of emotion for this piece. Towards the end, he even cried while he played. I also find Gil Shaham's version somewhat subdued, a lot like the older performances, Yu Lina, for example. He also played the violin more in the normal way and not in the imitation of the erhu. Takako Nishizaki probably has the most recorded performances but I do not find anything outstanding in her playing.
tony chew funny this that I agree completely, as just was I was thinking as I went through these comments
Interesting note: This was Chen's favorite rendition. Perhaps he intended it to be more subdued when he composed it; which isn't to say that it's the best way to play it.
演奏技巧的掌握及成熟度上還沒聽過更好的, 很期待他在對梁祝故事能有更深刻一層的體認,相信那時候的詮釋一定會更精彩
建議去聽 CD, 品質好太多了 !!!
Yuan Te Liu 可以看看我頻道簡介如何寫的，但當然還是期望每個有能力的人都支持正版光碟
这么小家子气的评论，有点丢人现眼
在youtube这里听的确沒有CD好听,不知是否反相(Phase)?,我尝试將耳机左右对调,发觉效果好很多。
@@highlandermr8942 嗯, 的確
第一部和第二部小提琴都是在左邊, 大提琴是在右邊
經典第一還是呂思清大師+讀賣交響~
Best. Ever.
Very to taste 👌💕
First time ever hearing a western violinist playing this. Dunno but I prefer Takako one. But nevertheless this is still so beautiful
音樂不分種族膚色，沒有什麼「外國人很難把梁祝詮釋的好」這種說法，不然難道東方人都不用演奏貝多芬巴哈蕭邦了？
Don't mind me. Just leaving my replay button here: 19:54
14:32 violin and cello duet
love this ver the best as well...
the others sounds.. too fast pace for me..
agree, it shows he dives deeper and played with spirit of the butterfly, he is so humble and gentle, surely be blessed much more by the spirits...
這廣告放的地方太絕了…
I first heard the end of this piece on the radio a few weeks back. I thought it was real neat and decided to look it up on here. I've heard it several times now; I think it's lots of fun, and to me I can hear a mix of Asian and Western themes (And by Western, I mean western hemisphere, not Wild West, LOL ).
The little section with castanets or whatever that is tapping at 19:20 actually sounds "wild west western" to me, reminds me of Aaron Copland's Hoedown.
其它演奏者和夏漢一比較,完全不是一個檔次的0.0,水藍在整體平衡的處理也很細膩!
citylida that I don't know but this version absolutely has the best recording quality.
at least it is wonderful to have a Jewish and international well established, humble GUY, I say it, because it does come the difference sometimes, when female touches differently into the role and music than male, but here it is quite obvious that he brings out more and his take is quite deeper...
我觉得吕思清比他好
在慢板的片段上 呂思清的表現最為感人 整體表現上 似乎夏漢最完美
Two set violin both parts, yo yo ma cello, James galaway flute, Yolanda Kondonassis harp, Yuja Wang piano. They all somehow were to perform this piece together it would be just like this maybe even better.
holy f white man plays Chinese and its soooo good! Cannot stop listening O.O
Jewish, how many world top guns in violins and opera, and any classical music area be Jewish!!! Very close culturally and historically connected with chinese...
确是好介绍.
Composer: Zhanhao He/Gang Chen
二胡、高胡 和小提琴有什麼不同？最直接和簡單的答案就是=二胡、高胡是兩條弦，而小提琴是四條弦；二胡是民族樂器，而小提琴是怕來品。
那麼，有沒有人質疑過：
第一、兩條弦的二胡和高胡，能不能完整的演奏 為小提琴度身定做的協奏曲《梁祝》呢？而且是按照原譜演奏wow！
第二、擬人的手法--二胡扮演的梁山伯和高胡扮演的祝英台之間的互動，能否讓人物更加鮮活 & 讓民族音樂的表現力更為生動呢？
以下的這個視頻，是香港和新加坡的華人，嘗試用兩根弦的胡琴，替代四根弦的小提琴，不知你聽了之後，有什麼新的感受嗎？=Try！

Finally! The equal of the Brahms, Barber, and Mozart concertos!
Bro u on some mad shit rn
@@jiakaipan5555 Yeah I really was lol. It's a good concerto but... it's not exactly Mozart lol.
Am I the only one that came from Throne of Magical Arcana?
我很想听到有小提琴家能够把第一乐章拉的平淡一点，再平淡一点；中间抗婚那段不要像大多数的演奏家和交响乐团那样拉的如此地凶巴巴；最后的化蝶能否声音轻一点，再轻一点，飘逸再飘逸一点，因为只有飘逸才有化蝶的深化。
maybe next westerner, he is much older now, matured I should say. comparing to chinese artists, he is already less sad, less heavy, more hopeful more spiritual... you are high in demanding.
Sounds like you want 俞麗拿 1959 版本。
@James Lee I feel exactly the same! 😄
在化蝶处有抽泣声，难道只有我听出来？
西方人里拉梁祝最好的。处理细腻，又不会太硬，有中国的“含蓄”之美。
老和同志人民表演艺术家 i:
剛勁有、但少了那份絕望傷感！
maybe that is the beauty and difference of this comparing to others, Mr. Gil Shaham, Jewish, not sure of his religious belief, have to guess that there is always hope if believing the eternal life, especially better life after this one, it is sad but shall not be perlonged sorrow. The joy of meeting loved one in past life will ultimately overcome the sadness of losing tempurarily. Same with funeral, in the US, the funeral is done around regular neighborhood, not in far isolated cold dark burning places... people say goodbay, tell jokes, share stories of the passed person who is right nearby, and buried maybe 10 minutes away, among living, everywhere...
Can I use this for my opening presentation in school
告插播廣告人士:在曲中途強行插播廣告甚至多次，不但收不到宣傳効果，更令人反感生厭！特照知。
是壓縮音樂的關係嗎? 聽不到音樂的dynamic
技术、音质无可挑剔，情感表达也许偏西方了点儿，最典型的是开头和结尾的旋律，都是差不多的，其实作者的原意开通主旋律要表达的是江南美丽的风景，风和日丽，梁祝相遇了，而后面是要表达梁祝化蝶后不真实的爱情，应该更为虚幻一些，结尾一定要高昂，目的是为了歌颂这段凄美的爱情故事，这个吉尔·沙汉姆做到了。另外14:30大、小提琴表达过于平铺直叙，缺少中国人特有的那种情感。
有1+1胡蝶的出现
不知道 会以為是中國人拉的
还好啦！不是罗密欧与朱利叶。放宽心情去听，老外也能拉的到位的。鼓励！交流嘛
或许有机会应该和中国 renowned 的 orchestral 合作 。
Délicieuse partition....
紧拉慢唱的梆子敲的有点问题，其他还不错👍
