This guy is an absolute genius. I have never enjoyed listening to this concerto that much. Such a joy. No one is able to make this music that special. It is a disaster and huge shame that he didn't pass to the finals, but I am sure that he will cut his path. This is a performance you will never forget, regardless of whether you like it or not.
this is the end of classical music competitions
those who know, know who knows
those who don´t know, don´t know who knows
those who know, know who doesn´t know
those who don´t know, don´t know who doesn´t know
with heartfelt gratitude to all those wonderful musical souls - like - amongst many others - dmitry smirnov, hana chang & songha choi,
who live music from an uncontaminated heart *
may all always be connected to the divine
and remain untouched by lower motives of
ignorant politics
outdated cultural biases
narrow minded educational institutions
certain violin-schools & their personal preferences
self-interest
greed - hatred & delusion
blessings to all - if*
Someone posted under Smirnov’s first-round appearence: „Too interesting for a competition. Sad for art.“ Prophetic words - in view of the fact that his performances in the semi-final were far beyond what the jury would have been able to grasp based on the scoring system they used. This violinist will certainly cut his own path, regardless of the fact that he was not admitted to the final.
Hear hear! So true. I was there, it was amazing. His Bartok was unbelievably good, so was his 4th Paganini caprice (the most difficult one)! He has his own route which will hopefully be grand!
@@edmondfokkervancrayestein Yes, and on top of that he played everything on gut strings, which most people probably didn't even notice. You have to try playing Paganini #4 and Bartok Solo Sonata on gut strings to realise that it is practically impossible.
Well, i asked him about the strings. This time he didnt play gut-strings. But yes, he dies that a lot. On his beautiful strad! Still his variations in Paganini 4 were unforgettable and so brilliant, Paganini would have loved it!
@@edmondfokkervancrayestein Well, I’m not sure. Judging by the tailpiece end of the strings (you can see it pretty well in the video), it looks like he uses Pirastro Passione (Solo) gut strings.
Maybe for the Mozart he did. I spoke to him after round 1 and there he didn’t he said, I asked specifically because i know he does play gut strings a lot. Although same tailpiece I thought. Never mind, he is a genius violinist and we r obviously both enjoying him.
He made Mozart such a Exciting music. Love to see him more.
He is like the Gen-Z of the classical music. Mozart would definitely have liked his style.
Bravissimo! I hope we will see more of him in the future!
Браво!
he somehow makes mozart sound like vivaldi and i'm all here for it
No, you are wrong. This is called historical awareness
What an outstanding artistic personality, what a lucky discovery! At least, it wouldn't be the first time that of all people a contestant, who didn't make the cut, cut their own path. Doubtlessly, Smirnov’s unheard-of interpretations won’t go unheard.
This guy is a genius. This is what music should sound like. Finally somebody who creates something new and unique and not mainstream. I can tell he really gets it. I hope he wins the whole thing!
his artistry is far beyond all others, including the jury. Kevin Zhu is fantastic overall, but his musicality is Juilliard level, which is very much horizontal and safe. Mr Smirnov plays music. The fact he can play so in tune with minimal vibrato and he can shape phrases all with the bow, wow
Essentially, I agree. In his own inimitable way, he is far beyond all others. However, I wouldn't generalise too much and in particular, I wouldn't condemn the jury out of hand. Several of its members are outstanding artistic personalities: Midori, Isabelle van Keulen, to name but a few.
I respect your opinion, but I'd like to express mine. At Kevin Zhu's age, Dmitry Smirnov also performed in a more traditional style than now. It requires time for young musicians to develop their unique approach to playing. It's important to recognize that all the violinists in this competition are mutually influencing one another, fostering growth. Moreover, Zhu's rendition of Mozart was truly outstanding.
@@---px3fr No question about it. I agree with your comment on all points.
Look, i was in the hall the last weeks and i loved Smirnov, but i love Kevin as well, Elli Choi was great, Joshua Brown is really good. They are all in different wats fantastic. Do not forget the different age-levels… some ideas develop later. Smirnov did great in the semi-finals and now of course he is out. He is too free a spirit to be praised more than this by the most traditional and prestigious violin competition in the world. Which is fine. Lets enjoy them all!
Finally something different. Congratulations.
低音とヴァイオリンの会話がとても楽しい。
WOW
Best version of this Mozart concerto so far.
His interpretation makes me smile, maybe not perfectly sound and not good enough for competition, but I like it
The bow is different！How exciting！
No words😂😂❤
As a very occasional listener, I think this one really appealed to me. The crowd, the orchestra and director felt it too.
Certainly not Himari Yoshimura level (and she is 12).
he's a music troll
I am not fan of the little slides/glides, that's neither baroque nor classical, neither Mozart nor Vivaldi.... he sometimes sounds like a fiddler rather than a classical violinist, which is fine for fiddle music, but not for Mozart
Yep. I am certainly not enthusiastic neither.
did you know that Mozart himself actually really liked slides and glides on the violin?
@@johannesascher7667 Not the way this guy does it
maybe yes, maybe no, we'll never know
@@johannesascher7667 I just listened to this guy's Bartok, he was giving me the same fiddler vibe.... once again, fine for fiddling, not for Bartok
Not neat in intonation and not high quality in sound. Intonation and sound in Mozart should be clear and bright like a ray of the Sun! And the fact that he stood and smiled was for the theater, and not for such a level of competition.
I bet you comment from your chair, while he Is on semi-final at Queen Elizabeth 😁 Just to say...
@@BaroqueHarmonie You can tell the same to the judges, because our opinions coincide))) Of course, the semi-final at such a competition is a definite achievement and life goes on. It’s just that the level of the participants is very high, and Mozart’s performance was not the best.
Just because your interpretation of a piece is original doesnt mean its good...
The envy 😂
@@frederikcamacho2227 envy of what playing out of tune?😂
@@danny_chestnut253 sorry maestro. Please you should apply for the next edition. you will do better than him
Its rather a historically informed performance than what you call original. His use of a baroque bow underlines that.
I think its a very refreshing interpretation, you might dislike it. In the end it all comes down to taste.
I think Mozart might like it.
Don’t really get it why one chooses to play like this in front of judges.. They’re basically professors which means whether it is a good interpretation or not, it’s very likely to be considered disgraceful. Aand for me it doesn’t even sound persuasive. This is just sacrificing one’s reputation for nothing.
Thank you Dima - what a revelation ***
Mozart and patk0p smile from eternity -
Good Luck with the Bartok ... let´s pray for tonight ... and just in case - forgive them, for they know not what they do.
