I adore this woman, she is a splendid violinist and she seems like a beautiful person inside as well. Thank you for this video, and please thank her for this very helpful suggestions.
I know this is NOT something easy, but I think I would very much love to see Mrs. Adams do a video demonstration of orchestral excerpts of how to practice, how to play them, etc. Thank you!
Hi Kathryn, they would be useful for auditions for any orchestra or college - they weren't meant to be specific to auditioning for the LSO, but should you find yourself in that position in the future they would probably come in useful... ;-)
The LSO channel is awesome,not only do they provide incredible performance clips, but they offer very useful advice on how to succeed in their auditions....Applause :)
Glad it was useful! Yes it's a general guideline but of course having sat in on a decade of auditions at Lso I am putting my own expectations across. The only thing I'd add is since the video, there have been some comments about wanting auditionees to play from memory. This would be made clear hopefully in any information u receive before any audition. All the best!
Romantic concertos tend to be more of a challenge technically and expressively. Not that Bach’s concertos can’t be these things, but romantic concertos consciously push the players limits in these areas which make them more suitable for auditions
