This will forever be the finest performance in a music competition ever (Eurovision Young Musician of the Year). I heard it originally on the BBC, and my jaw dropped. The greatest compliment was when he was invited back (as was tradition) in the next Eurovision YMofY during the judges' break, where he played Ysaye's 3rd Sonata, following which one of the announcers remarked 'well, now we know what we've all been missing this year!'. Truly the only 'great one' to emerge from a music competition as far as I can recall.
Avec le témoignage de ce concert, nous avons la confirmation de ce qu'avait dit Albert Einstein après avoir entendu Yehudi Menuhin enfant: "Maintenant je sais que Dieu existe." Oui, Rachlin porte assurément en lui une lumière que très très peu possèdent. SUBLIME
@@chiliaction5496 i think it went out of tune slightly, but its a near-perfect recovery the way he adjusted those intervals (listen to the F on the start of the next phrase)
