    The fast attack on the up stroke almost like a colle transformed the sound and character immediately, amazing! I too couldn’t understand why some passages had good intonation and others went ropey. And he’s so right about transmitting the energy and character of the music, I think as string players we focus so much on technique that we can sometimes loose the wood for the trees.

    The Rite of Spring isn’t about perfection, it’s about energy, and this performance absolutely has that. The percussion sounds massive and the environment you’re playing in adds to the colossal sound of the piece. This achieves the primal quality of Stravinsky’s score better than a lot of professional orchestras. Well done

    Mr. Lin is an inspirational teacher and world class performer, but doesn't necessarily go over fundamental technique. I'm speaking from experience because I've had a few lessons from him before, but I'm also not trying to bash his teaching style. It's great for students that are already great. Unfortunately, for a lot of great performers they can't explain how to sound great, because they have always sounded great for the majority of their lives. It's like trying to explain how to breathe to someone.
