Tiffany, this was brilliant! I've never seen Midori interviewed at length, and this was so informative to me. I've loved her work since she began her career. Interesting how she played down the fact that she was actually considered a child prodigy as a violinist. Her Carnegie Hall recording at age 18 is astounding. Props to you for making this happen!
A very interesting lady. I know about her career as musician, but had no idea about her diverse interests, especially psychology, and thanks to #togetherwithclassical I learned about her foundation and engagement with communities. Thanks Midori for taking time to chat on this platform!
Cheers to Tiffany and Midori! To Midori for all her various projects and work to help motivate and teach young musicians, and to support music programs and nurture talent in under-served communities. To Tiffany for her efforts to help spread support to humanitarian causes like Doctors Without Borders, Direct Relief, and to other nonprofit organizations that assist those in need. The world is fortunate to have people like Tiffany and Midori. Their talents and hard work help others appreciate the beauty of classical music. I'm hopeful that music will help all people to reconcile, be kind to each other & help foster a sense of responsibility to community & society for the common good of the future.
Fantastic, Tiffany! That is not a number ten, but two number twelves in a row! (Your rehearsal and now this.) And both on the same day. Its no wonder that you seemed a little tired recently. Whew! You hit a Grand Slam. I totally agree with MIdori. The biggest thing I got out of my undergraduate psychology degree was how to properly do research.
midori: im having a hard time choosing a double degree phd or be a 20 year old world class violinist me: im having a hard time getting into grad school even if I am lucky enough to pass this semester safely
Dear Tiffany, I am so happy that you chose this Scarlatti Sonata in E major (K380) to be your "tune" Next to Asturias from Isaac Albeniz, this is my second favourite piano piece.
This is a beautiful interview. I believe working with and within the unknown has to be one of the most difficult processes. There is only so much planning and preparation that can be done. Mindoro brings up a good point about one's passions in life, it tends to drive us when we can not see what is ahead. I am a firm believer that the heart leads us to where we need to be. The vision our hearts have are sometimes different than our minds. When our minds tell us we can go no further, our hearts feel the loss and suffering of the souls around us, we begin to hum. Hum a melody that enchants the dark and allows the rays of light to find us. Remember this when you feel defeated or lost. The light will always prevail, just a matter of time. So, keep yourselves busy with what helps your heart feel joy till the time change. Thank you 😉
It's so great you let the person run with their story. And, Midori's is amazing. Also, the length is good. More than sound bites. I really feel I got a sense of her priorities, what she's like as a person.
From mozart piano concertos, played by tiffany poon, to flute concertos, played by james galway, to oboe concertos played by robin williams, to violin concertos played by hillary hahn, to beethoven violin concerto played by midori. Love these classical music association game, reminds me of all the great music i once listened to and need to relisten again. So where did i put my mozart and beethoven piano sonatas collections again? Hm ... and my beethoven symphonies and piano concertos ... magic flute ... queen of the night ...
31:05 Stock up on rice and beans and lentils. Also sunflower seeds and other sproutables. The things that will likely to be sold out, is the comfort food.
I don't understand why Tiffany fails to ask her about the time she fell into the camera pit, jumped out, completed her performance including that triple axel/triple toe loop combination?!?
I just wanted to know what format this is and clicked randomly this video and I could not stop watching it. That was so interesting ! Great work and thank you Tiffany!
@@bloodgrss Well I just think his skills at the piano (dynamic control, accuracy, pedalling, etc.) and his knowledge of various musical disciplines are exceptional. For me, having insight in the thought process of a person who has mastered their craft to this level is very interesting. By the way, what makes you say that you couldn't imagine a more self absorbed pianist?
@@xyzpno6847 He is rather infamously dismissive of other contemporary pianists. No aspersion on his skills, which ARE extraordinary, as is his championing of interesting forgotten works. But would be surprised (and apologetically impressed) if he would agree to such an intimate chat with a 'competitor'-and a young and up and coming one to boot.
@@xyzpno6847 Unfortunately, from personal experience and that of others in the professional music world. I have heard some shocking dismissals of young pianists out of his mouth-and others have reported such. Again, it does not undermine his own ability and musical intelligence; the world of touring and recording pianists is a tough one these days (I am not one). It is given to few of us to not be threatened by others who come along behind us. That is why I hope you are right and he would talk to Tiffany; a most interesting chat it would be...
Is she married?...and I'm same age as her....and I would marry her in a heartbeat....well ....I live on a hobby farm and she would love the animals and flower gardens....we could play duets once in a while...nova Scotia has got the second best weather in Canada....
@@susanheffley5656 women aren't really in love with anyone anymore.....I hope I'm wrong.....I'm into women my own age.....inexperienced women bore and frustrate me....Susan, that's a beautiful name....are you single....???lol
Can't believe you got Midori on the show!
I can't believe either 😍
Yeah right!!!
ありがとう！こんなに長いみどりさんのインタビューは最近見ることがありませんでした。とても素晴らしかった！みどりさんは人間としても音楽家としても本当に素敵な方。同じ時代を生きることができて、またティファニーさんのメディアを通じてまた新しいみどりさんを知ることができて幸せです。お二人とも本当にありがとう！
Midori is legend

Thanks Midori for taking time to chat on this platform!
Me too! I didn't know she was so open to everything
Tiffani, just can not imagine how much effort you made to get her on the show. Great interview.
Such a nice talk! Can we expect TH-camrs like Hilary Hahn, Ray Chen or Valentina Lisitsa some time soon?
That would be fantastic 🙃
I love how you called them « youtubers » as if it was their main job aha
You tubers? They’re world class violinists!
TH-camrs lmaooo
Thank you so much Tiffany for your perseverance and and enthusiasm. It was wonderful to hear Midori speak about Beethoven. Music sustains us.
Midori is the violin Goddess of this era. Can’t find one in the same calibre in piano, or any other instrument, male or female.
ああ、せっかくのインタビューなのに何を言っているのかさっぱりわからない😂
18日に王子ホールに行ってきます🎉
すげえ
There is a wonderful similarity between Midori and Tiffany in their motivation and inspiration.
Cheers to Tiffany and Midori!
To Midori for all her various projects and work to help motivate and teach young musicians, and to support music programs and nurture talent in under-served communities.

Midori's music is always so graceful and so is her character.

Great inspiring interview!
I didn't expect we have Midori Goto now :')
My favorite pianist and violinist. it’s so amazing.
最高！
Love this episode!!
Ladies and Gentlemen it is Midori I repeat it is MIDORI

Hi Tiffany
I don't understand why Tiffany fails to ask her about the time she fell into the camera pit, jumped out, completed her performance including that triple axel/triple toe loop combination?!?
Okay the other famous Midori
Zapateado!!!
I just wanted to know what format this is and clicked randomly this video and I could not stop watching it. That was so interesting ! Great work and thank you Tiffany!
Lovely interview. Would you consider inviting Marc- Andre Hamelin?
Sorry, but why? A more self-absorbed pianist I cannot imagine...

You remind me of those 50 year old rich men on tinder that think the Russian girl who is leeching off them is madly in love with them.
