Como la cantante va utilizar micrófono!!!!! Los cantantes líricos se diferencia de los demás cantantes por la voz, no requieren micrófono. Al maestro le puedo aceptar, pero al cantante, no se le es permitido y si utiliza micrófono, mejor que se dedique a otra cosa, porque cantante lírica no es. No todos pueden ser cantantes líricos.
Bashkirov is great but i do believe that the idea of a masterclass is truly und utterly bullshit. Insightfulness is not always synonymous with experience, and I have seen shocking masterclasses on youtube which make you scratch your head. Barenboim's Beethoven are a decent viewing but even then sometimes who goes too far into detail insofar as which Beethoven himself would say shutup.
Muy interesante la explicación. Esta Escuela es de las más prestigiosas en España y eso es gracias a su profesorado, muchos de ellos extranjeros afincados en España. Todo un lujo estudiar allí.
07:40 It does NOT have to "come in time". Please listen to the opening of Rubinstein's early recording of this sonata: he makes the tiniest delay of the 3rd chord and the effect is massively expressive. Having said that, I enjoyed the masterclass and appreciated the details you brought out for the student.
It's wonderful to see (and hear) the beloved, world-renowned Sabine Meyer, clarinet in hand, so eager to share her supreme music making with the younger generation of clarinetists by demonstrating how the clarinet can "sing" like a human being in terms of (in this video) articulation and phrasing. In about ten minutes, I have also learned to admire and love her even more! Looking back, it was little wonder Herbert von Karajan wanted her to join the Berlin Philharmonic-but was voted down by the jealous, narrow-minded all-male players of the Berlin Phil years ago. What a shame!
Kavakos should've made a career on the viola. He always looks so unnatural onstage, like the violin is way too small for his body. Also, instead of showing off with his own playing in a master class, he should be able to delineate and outline what he's hearing from the student as an objective and obviously educated listener instead of just doing the whole 'this is how I play it, maybe you want to do it the same way I do" sort of thing.
I think the masterclass should be just like that, Kavakos didn't show some crazy idea of him, it's a pretty basic and effective approach of sustaining and playing long chord lines
Oh lord, where do I begin? LOL Ivry Gitlis was a natural-born actor and comedian. He should have done more acting in his career than violin playing. He taught no better than he played. For some reason whenever I hear his playing, I hear someone rushing to catch a New York taxi before it pulls away from the curb. And yet there are people who compare him to the greatest violinists who ever lived. I know he was in the Carl Flesch class but so what? So was Ida Haendel, to name just one - a far better violinist. I wish she'd done this masterclass instead.
Joseph Silverstein was an incredible musician who had an even more incredible career! I was at one of the very last masterclasses he ever did, just a few months before he died in 2015. Trust me, he played every bit as well as he ever had right up until the day he died. At that last masterclass, he played the whole Bach Partita #3 - we thought he was going to stop after the first movement but he kept going!! Most know that he was concertmaster of the Boston Symphony for 22 years but he knew like EVERYTHING about the violin and was also an outstanding solo player as well. After he died, one of my colleagues said, "Violin playing is over."
This kid got two rather mediocre lessons on this masterclass series - this one, and one from Gary Hoffman on the Saint-Saens Concerto. If I were him I'd be...not happy.
Yeah I noticed that. The other one was not at all good either. Some people don't even teach, they just say whatever is on their mind even if it makes no sense at all. As someone else on here said, just $$ down the drain.
The thing about Tchaikovsky Concerto is that it's not a difficult piece as far as communicating to an audience. It's all just a flurry of notes. But the legato passages like the ones that she's spending the most time on in the lesson are the most important - there aren't that many of them in the concerto so you have to make the most of them!! This violinist is a really good player so she's able to do a lot more with it than many people who basically just hit all the notes!
I'd rather have lessons with Count Dracula than with this guy. He is a condescending hard-nosed cretin. It's teachers like him who make people start hating their instruments. He talks about making it sound like a movie...actually, my first impression of him was "Hollywood." Like a stuck-up studio musician LOL. Ighhhh, all just terrible. I'm a violinist and I could give this kid a better cello lesson!! Then again, I think he plays quite well, I wouldn't have much to add. At least not about dancing fairies in Hollywood films.
I never knew he was a violinist! Almost all of his career was spent as a conductor, all the way back literally to childhood. Who knows when the last time he played the violin was but as a conductor who knew the instrument well, I suppose it made for a dandy masterclass. Many people attended this one - most of the other videos on here don't have any guests attending. Which is actually good sometimes.
Bach and Mozart are about the worst things to play for a masterclass. Why? Because everybody has their own way of playing them. Even somebody like Itzhak Perlman has made the same comment - about Bach anyway. You can play Bach for one person who will tell you that you are doing everything wrong and play it for somebody else who loves what you are doing. Mozart is the same way. I remember playing this exact same Mozart #5 mvt. 1 for a guest professor one time and it was much like what was in this video - he tried to change my whole concept of it. The next day I forgot everything he said because it was all rather forgettable.
