An excellent performance! I'm a violist & I know this piece, & her playing is top-rate. Her sound is beautiful & expressive, the articulation is precise, & the intonation is accurate-- admirable given this is a live performance of very difficult material. Her posture is weird, but who cares? Because of the inherent awkwardness of playing viola, many great players have unorthodox solutions to the technical challenges. What matters is the result-- & this is a truly great performance!
Thanks so much for including this. What a remarkable performance! Zimmerman is such a charismatic performer. My impression is that Penderecki (the conductor) is restrictive in terms of how much the soloist is allowed to "bend time." Nevertheless, Zimmerman is able to convey a real feeling of spontaneity. I'd love to see a more recent performance by Zimmerman--sense that since she stopped playing with a shoulder rest, she's felt a lot more physically free and natural.
What a work. She makes the contemporary idiom speak persuasively! Anyone who says they don't understand music of today should hear this woman in Penderecki's! She makes sense . Ugly sounds have a place in our vocabulary if we are to have it all. pretty gets damn boring quickly this is communicative great music and she was chosen by the composer to play it! Wow makes me want to hear the great violin concerti with her. She speaks!
Wow... I read that as Kim Kardashian... you had me for a moment there. I'm a violist and I would be grief stricken if my favorite instrument was compared to her .
I saw her private performance in Vancouver perhaps in 2007.She played Shostakovich viola/piano concerto(can't remember the specifics) with such force yet grace. I wish I could live again that moment! Anybody knows the specifics of her performance?
Really? terrible? well, lets see you post a video with better form and then I'll believe you. I think her form boarders on flawless and unless you can bring some proof to light that contradicts that, I would like to throughly beg to differ: )
What a powerful work. And such a fine performance. This, friends is the Golden Age of the Viola. (The viola is my favorite instrument.)
''This, friends is the Golden Age of the Viola.''
I liked that!
favolosa!!
Tabea is my super hero
She's amazing! I've never heard her before... Thanks for putting this here
O que é isso!
Bravo... Bravíssimo!!!!

PENDERECKI=GENIUS!!!
Wielki Penderecki. Cieszy mnie wspaniała, domniemana przeze mnie akustyka. Kobieta gra naprawdę ponętnie. Estetyka wspaniale demoniczna. Genialna jak zwykle.
Toca pra caramba, que isso!!!!!!!!
she is truly magnificent! what a sound!
su arco es tan perfecto! ♥

The composer of the music horror movie classics as the shining, the exorcist and alien. Maybe you can find the same qualities in this music.

Anybody knows the specifics of her performance?
I was talking about viola concerts, not persons.
The only thing that can compare to this is Kim Kashkashian's recording. Phenomenal.
I don't think, that is polish joke, because we haven't jokes, like that one.
VERY Nice video
OMFG OMFG IT's ZIMMERMAN ON TH-cam, who needs bashmet when you have zimmy
What a great work and performance! By the way, which one is the orchestra?
Are there some aleatoric sections in this?
@michelsenpeter does Shostakovich have a Viola Concerto? i don't think so i think you the Sonata right?
Where can I find the sheet music of this concert?
Penderecki and tabea zimmerman ... what else ? :D
@xRaito09x Sorry, I clicked "negative vote" inadvertently... : (
@xRaito09x HAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHAHA Brilliant!

I honestly don't understand.
No, Kim Kardashian's recording is most superb actually.
