Joshua Bell - Wieniawski: Violin Concerto No. 2 in D minor - Paavo Järvi/NHK Symphony Orchestra 

In professional contexts, it typically depends on how much you need to project. Up bow staccato is impressive, but if you can't hit into the back row of a concert hall, it means very little. Wieniawski 1 has even more brutal upbow staccatos and most people take them separately in performance context.

@@Boollish u simply shdnt play wieniawski if u cant do a staccato...

i'm not a josh bell fan, but to be fair, some other fiddlers didn't have great staccato, like elmar oliviera and nathan milstein. and me.

@@cornel999 ×D

@@cornel999 you are correct. I noticed that with Milstein, but even Rachel Barton Pine, she mentioned that it wasn't born with it. It doesn't make you less a virtuoso even without a great up staccato..

Thanks will share

Keep him in spinach and lessons!

I agree this is a great piece for beginners!

@@RachaelLongLastName sarcasm?

@@wolflastname1720 yup

Paavo and his brother Kristjan couldn't be more different on the podium but both are great conductors, as is their father Neeme.

I love the part where he didn't articulate the notes much and where he switched to detache! Just a thrilling interpretational decision!

@@peterdeck2696 look up his recording of variations on an original theme from a recital he gave in japan. the same guy is still in there and while this isnt his best work i cant even imagine how hard it is to get motivated for this stuff when you been there and done everything (reminds me of jon jones or mike tyson)

No-as a matter of fact the first one earlier (around 5:09) he starts it up bow stacato then bails out of the last half of it doing separate bows. At 9:09 he does the same thing on the first passage, and then does the whole second staccato passage-separate bows.

But I can't be like you, I'm not as talented as other people

4:31wow

absolute agree with you

It's that "schoolboy" haircut.

What are you even saying

@@lalabest1aj Do I have anything in my comment that you don't understand? If so, I'm sorry that I'm not a native speaker.

Unfortunately, Very true.

@@宋逸乎 No you're comment made perfect sense and I agree with it.

Yeah, idk what happened to him. I have recently been listening to some of his older recordings and they seem much better than he is now. His playing is just weird. He's one of the few violinists who solely uses arm vibrato, and he tries to do spiccato in the upper third of the bow with only 3 fingers on the stick. That in addition to having horrible bow distribution, and of course his constant gyrations. No wonder his sound is now garbage. I suppose he's past his prime now.

sorry....wrong place.

I'm sure it's just the mic-ing which does not seem to be a mix of close and far mics, but rather just one mic at the back of the auditorium. Also, just so you know, Joshua Bell plays the Gibson Stradivarius violin. Take that how you will; some people adore Strads; some people think modern instruments project better.

Don't get too arrogant, Milenstein can't do it either.
