I saw Shaham in Bologne in 2010. After playing Bach for about 2 hours, he run on the hall of the theater to thank every one was at the concert, to sign every cd was sold, and to answer to EVERYONE that had something to ask. He must be a wonderful person
Petit cafouillage à 7 minute. Je suis rassuré ce violoniste est un être humain. Quel pureté de justesse. Vibrato sublime. La décontraction.Un de mes violonistes favoris.
The perfection in those high notes on the E string is amazing to me. It's not easy to get clear notes as you get closer to the bridge, and the tolerances for sounding in tune get crazy small that far up the string.
Absolutely masterful. I have to say that Gil Shaham is one of my favorite violinist to watch because of his composure, incredible technical discipline and cleanliness, and solid musicianship. I don't think many people fully appreciate how important composure is for a violinist and if I see another unprofessional violinist "dancing" while playing, I am going to throw up. I am less impressed with his ability to emote but he is such a fine musician I enjoy it all the same.
Extraordinaire ! Quelle clarté, quelle fluidité, quelle sensibilité ! Gil SHAHAM, très bien accompagné par le piano, offre une interprétation d'une grande pureté et d'une émotion extrêmement profonde. Il vit littéralement cette musique. J'ai versé plusieurs larmes en l'écoutant. Somptueux !
Your violin teacher's favorite violinist. No one else can play so accurately so quickly, with such ease. It's almost as if he has an infinite amount of bow to work with.
GIL,¿ PORQUE NO TOCAS UN POCO MENOS DE LO MARAVILLOSO QUE ERES?, PORQUE DE SEGUIR ESCUCHANDOTE ASÍ, CON TU VUELO DE LOS ANGELES, TERMINARÁS CON MIS LAGRIMAS Y EMOCIONES. HACES VIBRAR Y ELEVAR LAS ALMAS.
@punchaloo well sarah had to play outside so she had to play loud and he has a piano and she needs to play loud to overpower them and scratchy ness adds character and it shows she isnt scared to play loud
UN ARTISTA CABAL. ESE SONIDO ES PRODUCTO DE UNA ENTENDIDA MARAVILLOSA ESCUELA DEL ARCO Y MANO IZQUIERDA, DE UNA MENTE BRILLANTE, PERO OJO.. !! SE NACE CON ESA INQUIETUD DE SACAR ESO. EL PATHOS SAGRADO. BRAVO GIL SHAHAM
When he plays, you don't just hear the sound, you feel it as if the violin were alive. To me, thats what feels like true ability or talent. To be able to make the violin sing. ^_^ makes me happy.
Yes, this gentleman is absolutely the WORLD'S FINEST VIOLINIST---bar none! Note the perfect pitch, the perfect timing, and the subtle fingering---enough to overwhelm the senses of any wild beast. Softly...he slides from the highest to the lowest notes, before taking off in an sincere Gypsy plea to listen to a Gypsy heart.
Gil Shaham is playing the 1699 "Countess Polignac" Stradivari Violin. It is one of the most esteemed violins. With his skill and the sound that the violin makes, this piece is beautiful.
I have to say that I'm partial to most faster paced pieces, and at 6:14 is my favorite part of this piece. I am in awe at the skill that Gil Shaham has for this particular section of the song, most violinists I have heard play this song keep this section slower than it is meant to be. Exceptional is not grand enough a term for his skill and awesomeness.
@pzowndizzle1 Plz tell me you did not go there and compare Gil Shaham to Sarah chang........listen, you cant even compare violinist on this level of playing. Sarah Change is Sarah Change and Gil is Gil. It your taste. there is no "this person is better" anymore. But in this case, for you to have said that Sarah Changs performance was better, is pure Blasphemy.
@pzowndizzle1 YIKES. I saw Sarah Chang do this at Avery Fischer Hall, I think, she was very very good. Even more than that. I would not think these nuances are even worth discussing.
Que era lindo a esa edad , tengo sus discos de esa época. Después se puso a dieta y quedó súper delgado .
Anyone listening in 2024?
I like 530-550, so subtle and moving.
Outstanding. Bravo. Sarasate himself is cheering.

This is my favorite version.. Gil shaham is somewhat underated
This is a better version

matur suksma
I just don't understand why the comparation between GIl Shaham and Sarah chang.
He just doesn't deserve it :)
I think i ruined my mouse by how many times a clicked like
beautiful !!!!!!!!

i want to play as gil shaham.i think,you are the best violinist of the world
MAI ASCOLTATO NIENTE DI SIMILE. LA TECNICA . IL CUORE , L'EMOZIONE SONO INARRIVABILI . GRANDIOSO SHAHAM.
游死走綫，輕划沉拉，情由聲发，扣人心弦。
thanks for posting.. please post more!!!!
Clean
god that bow control is phenomenal
@turtoy1 wow you need to look a little closer. He is putting a hell lot of emotion into this if you didn't realize.
사랑합니다
Wunderbar - wonderful !! Thank you for sharing this video ! BRAVO !
素晴らしい❗
Von beiden Künstlern wundervoll musiziert. Es geht einem das Herz auf

aimson Wow ! I didn't think it was possible for a TH-cam critic to admire composure . 99% of other critics/commentators admire emotion /theatrics
Gil is the fucking MAN!
Gil Shahams sound is about 10 times bigger than Sarah Changs.
Extraordinaire !

This is better than the Sarah Chang version i think. This is not as scratchy
magnificent...
Amazing

Una palabra después de esto. Grandiosso.
The clarity is amazing.
nombre k barbaro
para mi lo mejor k tenemos vivo

ギルシャハムはもちろんのこと私はピアノがとても良かったと思いました。
what can I say more? simply superb..
This just puts a smile on my face.
WOW! so nice
Very nice
How?? look at that 8 people they are fan of Linkin Park
How is this so clean and smooth??!! So seamless and clear. It’s even better than auto tune
Me in 2018.... It's another level. He is my favorite violinist.
very clear
Learning this right now. It's SO difficult. I have a lot of appreciation for anyone who can play it like this.
he's got to be from another planet, my gosh...
Pianist is great solist
Also incredible accomp. OMG !
speechless!! :0
my favorite part is that you can see when he impressed himself. he smiles subtly to himself. cute, gil. REAL CUTE.
divine smile!
Noice
Yes Very Noice
When he plays, you don't just hear the sound, you feel it as if the violin were alive. To me, thats what feels like true ability or talent. To be able to make the violin sing. ^_^ makes me happy.
really bravo,i wish play this excellent,you are the best violin player
Best one I've heard so far.
+SophiaVonHelgastein It is hard to argue against Itzhak Perlman perfomance
SophiaVonHelgastein incontestly
The control is amazing!
My cat is listening, too!
iron's fingers! Fantastic bow! And much much music. Wonderful Gil!!!!!!

I Hate the Party agreee totally with u
Perhaps you never heard of Mario Hossen
Well said Sir!
i think that they are both great. they have two very contrasting, individual sounds/styles.
@turtoy1 they are both geniuses. No need to compare them, or to put one above the other, I love them both!
Holy damn shit
Who is the pianist?
incredible!!
Perfect! Incredible sound from the sound! Thanks a lot!
He's just chillin. =D
Gil Shaham is playing the 1699 "Countess Polignac" Stradivari Violin. It is one of the most esteemed violins. With his skill and the sound that the violin makes, this piece is beautiful.
2 minutes of this seemed like an eternity
???
El mejor
blows my mind how tight his bow is
I love his little slip at 6:57 but when it's repeated he puts a little more emphasis on as to say "got it that time" haha
I have to say that I'm partial to most faster paced pieces, and at 6:14 is my favorite part of this piece. I am in awe at the skill that Gil Shaham has for this particular section of the song, most violinists I have heard play this song keep this section slower than it is meant to be.

@punchaloo actually Sarah Chang might have been scratchy but at least she has a little bit more emotion that this person
good piano not to forget!!!!!!!!!!!
boss bowing..

すばらしい！
great performance!
it's a best video and quality in all of youtube
just perfect !
he makes it look so effortless...amazing....more like dayum...
I didnt see Gil Shaham in reallity. So i missed somrthing in my life. Negative critics ok, write them down and fill your trashcan.
No one performs this as well as Gil Shaham. Hands down! Fantastic!!!
Leonid Kogan plays better. Try and listen to
Wooooow Very very very Good!!!! I love your violin Sound !!!!! :D!!!!
I cant belivie he had a flaw :o OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE ANYWAYS!
Eccellente!
thank you! :o)
bravo bravo bravo
如水般流畅、动人，技术太棒了！
OMG, that's incredible!
Beautiful!!!
@shirusubemonaku huh? that is bollocks. music are universal. music is hope.
@saintmichael104 Nobody gives a crap about him messing up. After all, we're all humans.
5'30-5'50 sublime.
