What a fabulous viola player. Wow, that incredibly controlled vibrato and perfect intonation, apart from the wonderful expression and projection is quite remarkable. One of the great viola players of this century. And a superb performance by the orchestra. FIVE STARS!
Viola owns it, also Viola & Clarinet is a fantastic combination
Indeed. Bruch did write so devestatingly beautiful music for that combination.
Just cannot understand why this great work by Walton is not performed more often. The repertoire for viola and orchestra is very limited and it makes a nice change from the proverbial violin concertos.
YESSSSS!😂
Cause a few viola players can really play,that’s why…
@@robert-cristianpetracheno, The orquestra usually prefer play violin or piano concertos because It is The most popular instruments. So It is easier to bring people to watch
This is a fine, festive concerto with a strong final movement. It's good to hear occasionally, and this performance was a treat! Violist Tamestit is new to me; he is very impressive, with a great tone.
@@hiriaith Yes, I think festive is somewhat appropriate, especially for the 2nd movement.
Out of all the recordings of that I’ve heard of the Walton, this is truly the best recording I’ve heard. The man Antoine Tamestit
Have you heard the c1960 Walton/Menuhin recording,?
Amazing, amazing playing. He's really good. My only complaint about this video: during some of the most gnarly, technical viola passages-- when you really want to watch the soloist in action-- the camera is on the woodwind and brass players, who are just sitting there, sustaining long accompanying notes. Zzzzzzzzz. C'mon, really??
Because Viola
thats what happens, the camera crew isnt always musician... or better said, they are never musicians....
so they dont understand whats happening, and they often dont have anybody helping this matter..... so until theres no one to help this will happen again always!!! Sad but True
Agree, and it is a shame. This is hr-Sinfonieorchester, one of Europe finest. It's not the camera men job to decide what is finally presented to the video audience. That's the job of the video director. There is no excuse for sloppy work.

A concerto I studied many years ago, still love it, so rarely performed.
It's rarely performed because it's a viola concerto, but among viola concertos I am willing to say it is the most performed
@@charlietian4023 either this or the Bartók
What a piece!! And what a player. This is stupendous!
This guy is a true violist, he has the vibrato of a violist. Not like so many viola players who played the violin professionally and whiched to the viola! Bravo!!!
What is the difference in vibrato?
@@RodrigoFernandez-td9uk Viola vibrato is wider and slower. As a violist, anytime I pick up a violin my vibrato sounds more like glissando.
That's the kind of vibrato I aspire to have one day. I'm 19 now, and two years ago, I decided that I would learn a stringed instrument. I ended up choosing the viola because I didn't want to deal with a cello's size and because I actually prefer the tone of a viola over that of a violin. I did buy a cheap violin several months ago, but I much prefer playing my viola to it. I've heard that many violists started out as violinists, so I'm glad that I'm playing viola to begin with.
I read this comment several times and just now I realised "switched" is written "whiched". So there you go useful information for you about my fascinating life
@@masantonio8790 By that reasoning, cellists should vibrate even slower. So, nonsense. All players, of all 3 instruments, do, or should, vary the speeds of their vibratos according to desired expression. You might even find a few notes that Heifetz played with a rather slow vibrato. But virtuosi of all 3 instruments have fast vibrati at their disposal. There is no such thing as a "viola" vibrato. If you can't play a violin with an appropriate vibrato, then your vibrato could use some work.
One thing I've noticed is how good Antoine Tamestit can project. It's amazing considering he's playing on a viola. For example 4:35 when the music briefly moves through the cycle of fifths, you can hear him so clearly whereas if you listen to any other version on Spotify you can hear the soloists (even the likes of Maxim Vengerov) getting drowned out by the orchestra during that part. Tamestit is an absolutely amazing violist.
(And this is coming from a violinist 😅)
Antoine Tamestit is a fantastic violist with a great sound. Some of the credit for the balance and for the viola being heard above the orchestra must also go to Maestro Honeck and the orchestra for playing so well without drowning out the violist. It's always such a delicate balance.
Tamestits*s viola ~16,5 insh
@@evgeniybelov1112 damn, I thought it looked large even for a viola. Mine is a 16 inch
It helps that it's a Stradivarius....
The only other violists I know of who can do that are David Aaron Carpenter and Yuri Bashmet.
My favourite part: 22:32 after the brief silence
The whole buildup from 21:28 to this phrase is so amazing and well composed.
So hard to get the viola to carry over the orchestra, and carry the musical narrative all through: Violist Tamestit does it so well! Great phrasing, love it.
Tamestit is another superb master of this oft neglected instrument.
Such a beautiful, vibrant work, by turns feisty and tender. Wonderful Tamestit, Maestro Honeck, and of course the Hessischer Rundfunk S.O. plays with its usual brilliance... What a gift this orchestra and its broadcasts are to the world!
18:57 Stunningly Beautiful!
Absolutely fantastic! The soloist is truly extraordinary. Both the conductor and the orchestra provided a wonderful accompaniment. Bravo!
Absolutely amazing. This is one of the great works of the 20th century. The performance by both the soloist and orchestra are fantastic. Thanks to all for presenting such a memorable concert.
Walton! I adore the cello concerto, and look forward to getting to know viola concerto!
Outstanding. Outstanding player, outstanding orchestra and an outstanding concerto by Walton; what character brought out by Antoine Tamestit.
A masterpiece. Outstanding performance of Antoine Tamestit.
0:00- mvnt 1, andante comodo
9:26- mvnt 2, vivo con molto preciso
14:16- mvnt 3, allegro moderato
21:49 that gives me goosebumps every time
Wow, this is a really great performance-- very original the way he bows and phrases things. And he's awesome with the portamento. Great playing.
Beautiful playing! Such a storyteller!
I played this piece in my high school orchestra, at that time I FEEL the magical moment of every single note (even when we played it poorly...) this music is incredibly fascinating.. beyond the words..
-- Une merveille, Antoine Tamestit sublime ce concerto pour Alto. --
최고의 월튼 100번도 더 본거같아요 연주들을때마다 감동❤
Da kommt ein richtiges Programm! Der süße Ton der Solobratsche klingt außergewöhnlich schön. Die zurückgehaltene Begleitung von diesem ausgezeichneten Orchester unter der künstlerischen Leitung von diesem genialen Dirigenten ist auch bemerkenswert.
Am flabbergasted with the brilliance of this performer, the work, the orchestra, conductor....FABULOUS! BRAVISSIMO!!!
This Strad Viola has finally found its master and is very happy with her host! And we are all enjoying every moment of this wonderful symbiosis!! 💕
Fun to see the viola get showcased for once! This instrument is so overlooked that I had never heard one solo before. Perhaps it is more than just a comically large violin! ;)
너무 너무 훌륭한 연주입니다 ❤️
멋진 연주 감사합니다 😊
The musical choice to play up an octave at 12:04 was magical! Unique :)
A very Primrose move, if you ask me
@@hyrumkohler Yes, a nice observation. Up the octave where possible and without embarrassing oneself, (and given the right musical context) I say why not? Tamestit gave a refreshing blast during this bar!
there are several editions of the solo viola part, with lots of diferences, I think the soloist chose one of them, it was not his personal initiative.
@@sergioazevedo7390 But in the end Walton preferred it and was meant to publish it in the revised version by F Riddle. Too bad it was incorrectly printed and now we have a debate on which score to honor (the original or the revised version)
Great playing! I've remember this violist's name... TAMESTIT!
Is this the “Gustav Mahler” Strad? Such a well-rounded tone; it’s a beauty as is Antoine’s playing!
Yes, probably. At 1:14 , 29:01 or 30:04 you can have a glimpse of its very specific wood pattern on the back

Yes, Gustav Mahler - Stradivari. Beautiful...
Wow!! What a wonderful performance by all the musicians involved. Thank you so much for making this available. Bravo to all, including the absolutely excellent videography!
He is the Lingling from the viola gang.
he has to practice 80 hours a day to sound that good
You can hear some influence from traditional English folk song, kinda a medieval vibe to it, I love it, and I’m learning this right now:) excited!
11:47 listen to how his viola beautifully rings on that c!!
An absolutely brilliant and beauiful composition!
Perfection. Thank you for sharing this!
Потрясающая музыка и прекрасное исполнение!!! Браво!!!
Оставлю свой коммент на память)
1 часть играл на 3 курсе консы, 2 и 3 буду готовить на выпуск! )
Best performance ever!
Thank you for this spectacular viola interpretation.
Lovely, splendidly done.thank you all so very much.
What an amazing soloist....I knew the piece but not Antoine Tamesit. Absolutely beautiful.
What a perfect play... wow...
Walton had Lionel Tertis in mind for the first performance but Tertis wasn't initially interested and so Paul Hindemith, no less, premiered it. Later Tertis had a radical enough change of mind to give the work its first US performance.
Heifetz of the VIOLA!
The minutes from ca 23:15 when it’s leading again to beginning theme over the eternal E-pedal point…everytime when I played this even with only piano accompaniment it gave me goosebumps. Once I had the privilege to play it with orchestra in a conductor student rehearsal I was too nervous to really feel it 🎻🎶 But this performance with Tamestid and hr is way the best I heard so far.
Everything has to be perfect: the soloist but also performing the big youthful orchestration in a careful way. Here it just rocks.
Viola at its best.
Es ist unglaublielich dieses Koncert Ich habe in der letzen Jahr der Hochschule geheimnies gespielt So dieses Koncert hat mir so Gut gefalen Danke Immer Erfolgt Danke noch eimal

This is so beautiful.
Wonderful Violist Very Musical
Какой чувственный получился Уолтон)) Сейчас спустя 5 лет думается, было бы что то в другой манере. Но все супер. Спасибо за артикуляцию❤
My favourite viola concerto, absolutely first class :) and Walton....such a small, calm and fragile man in posture....but listen to his music! so energetic and full of love and big, yet so little performed....such a shame
Beautiful!!!👏👏👏🎻
Excellent composition!
9:25 2nd Movement begins. Energetic and wonderful.
Love the power in the playing
Me encanto, saludos!!!!
Absolutely beautiful...!!
wow what a sound and musicality!!
Molto bello Complimenti !!!! Grazie
Ah Antoine Tamestit et son stradivarius la grande classe
my blood cousin! very talented :)
For real?!! Awesome!! :))
Totally amazed!!
I understand that this a German channel but I think this video's title and/or description should have "viola" in it, since most people don't actually know what "bratsche" means; I came across this video by chance!Things like "violon" and "klarinett" are more obvious and wouldn't need to be translated, but doing this would get more views and bring this great concerto, soloist, and composer to a wider audience.
Considering Walton is an English composer, what you have said is quite reasonable. Otherwise the title should be Bratschenkonzert in accordance with the basic language of this channel.
Was für einen Blödsinn. Es handelt sich um ein Video eines deutschen Orchesters. Sie haben jedes Recht, das Video in ihrer Landessprache zu beschreiben.
I got here just fine by searching "viola concerto Walton."
Incredible!
SUperb....Marvelous.....BRAVO from Acapulco!
Currently learning this piece abs I just can’t wait till it all comes together!!! Such a beautiful concerto 🎉
Walton was often degraded by ignorant music critics within his lifetime because he wasn´t avant-garde enough. Well those people are gone and forgotten now but Walton´s music lives on and is played more often in a more enlightened time even though this wonderful concerto doesn´t get the hearing it deserves probably because it´s for viola rather than violin
3:00 wow. 5:02 🔥🔥
excellent ear
This is my heavy metal.
Haha!
BRAVO!!!
Love his double stops
I was amazed!
Love that sound, carries superbly. Do I hear him stomping his foot? Original.
Undoubtedly a controversial view, but to me this is the greatest concerto of the 20th century.
I think a strong case could be made for that view. Such a shame that few outside the viola world know this piece! As a violinist and violist, I prefer Walton's viola concerto to his violin concerto.
It's very challenging for the soloist and interesting to play for both the soloist and orchestra, with good interplay between the solo and orchestral parts, but is consistently fun to listen to and very accessible. A good mixture of neo-Romanticism and modernity, and of energetic and melancholy moments. Every movement is strong and has memorable themes. It's a well-structured, cohesive work, in my opinion. Most other 20th-century concertos I love have more glaring weaknesses. Walton clearly had both respect for and a good understanding of the viola.
que hermoso bravo :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
We love Antoine Tamestit!
So gooooood
좋습니다.
ESPLENDIDO
The one place you can never find a twosetter
Too late....this guy definitely practices 40 hours! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A very fine redition
LOVE 9:28 so good, great job
great melodie
Is this the same guy from the scream and sword bow?
yeah same guy and orchestra
Interprétation virile de ce Concerto fantasque Joue -t-il ici sur son Stradivarius ? je le pense !
18:57 - 19:35
Ottimo
Powerful
At 17 I tried to play this concerto. It was a little too much for me I'm afraid. This was just a wonderful performance. The violist was terrific as was the orchestra. I am also curious if the viola was a Strad....
17 ??? All movment ? You are from wich academy ?
What happened about last movement !! It was very beautiful play.
Antoine Tamestit is fucken amazing🙌
Goddamn. Very few [dare to] play that harmonic in the second movement, in the studio much less live... It's long been the case (for better or worse) that the tighter and more convincing recordings of this concerto have been at the hands of moonlighting violinists who have the chops to manage its impossibly awkward writing - see, e.g. Kennedy, and more recently, Ehnes. This fellow may have just redefined the standard.
2nd is really cool 😭😭😭
gut
Great playing but why is he wearing a bellhop uniform?
5:02 😍
