Yes, the camera angle is unfortunate. Great performance though. Congratulations to the both of you.

I love these videos, sir! The topics are both thoughtful and original. They're also very helpful and informative, and you've managed to avoid the endless plethora of videos on the same cookie cutter topics usually presented tirelessly and without humor, as if musicians and great composers lack the ability to smile, be of good cheer, and most of all, wonder at the world while creating beautiful music. Thank you!

Just glorious. Thank you for sharing.

Подоблачный город почти что уснул . Подоблачный город почти что уснул, ведь солнце с лихвой проиграло потёмкам. Утихли беседы, машины и гул, оставлен ремонт и поправки поломок. В уже остывающей печи покой, хотя духота придавила тисками. Народ отработавший ждёт выходной. Грядущие дни будут под облаками. Двуногие хищники в горах своих попрятались и до утра затаились. Сквозняк лезет в старый рассохшийся стык, как дед, от какого родня открестилась. Среди нерождённых и старых уже, взлохмаченных лип и растрёпанных клёнов, мужчин поверх жён и не жён в неглиже безлюдье дорог и приглаженность склонов. Всё под паутиной сгустившихся туч среди многоточья фонарного света, езды мотоциклов и стриженных кущ. Предбывшая ночь была схожая с этой. А я между мутных квартирных палат готовлю какие-то тёплые речи и, словно заядлый и юный фанат, мечтаю о новой победе на встрече.

One thing to mention.…Beethoven’s “coffee cup” was most likely a 2~3 ounce Demi-tasse. I have struggled with this issue for years: what were the 60 beans? Were they whole dried cherries, or the half cherries we are used to. Etc., etc., etc.

Wow!

I dont know why, but this piece sounds like Shostakovich knew it was going to be his last composition.

I watched your video and then switched on the TV the French/German station "arte". They were playing the documentary "Sergiu Celibidache and the Berlin Philharmonic ". 😂 Viola....viola indeed!

Wow! That cello has an amazing sound. Thank you for sharing.

I was curious about how a large viola would be cut down, so I went googling and ran into this video. Now I'm really confused!!! A very interesting video!

refined and talented people normally eat healthy

Nice dark sound.

Mr Hoffman plays on Oliv strings, but I am wondering what A string he is using?

Good for him! He got it🎉 I adore his "dancing" at the beginning of the Trailer, right on on his "Dance Movememts" 🎶🎻= a Cello for him, maybe he combines his" Cello Play" with his dancing🤔🎊🎻🕺

Omggg Ken Slowik! He is THE MAN - such an awesome incredible dude. One night we rehearsed in his studio, and I walked out with him from the museum with my quartet and he insisted on giving us step by step verb directions to get to highway. We all got in the car laughing about how detailed and long winded his directions were and used Google maps. 10 mins later we are waiting at a busy intersection, and Ken pops out literally from out of nowhere all the way down the road, beating us out of the city even though he left several minutes after us. Shoulda taken his advice

Any tips to get better at fast notes??

You're so amazing and beautiful viola player! Really love this video 🎻💕

Hey masumi! how much was your viola? And Also I have a viola it has a aubert bridge and the label says in the f hole that it’s from the shop that I rented it from so is that like a model because my viola looks very stradivariulsy I made that up btw

Hey masumi what kind of shoulder rest do you use?

What a gem! 💎

Ya got a good instrument! Thank you for the cooks tour!😅

That’s the glorious tone and phrasing I remember. ❤

Soooo, let's now hear the story of the bow. It is what makes the violin 'sing'.

The cello concerto is much more popular but that section reminds me on Khatchaturians violin concerto 1st movement.

I enjoyed the waltz she played on her stradivari.

Very wonderful and interresting Interview of the Sir!!! He plays very beautiful!!!🎻= à la Cello for him 🎶🙏, all the best for this Cello Sir 🍀.🍀.🍀. Kind regards from a Classical Tenor-Violist-Panpipeflutist from 🇪🇺🇩🇪, to the 🇺🇸 Yours, Josha Blatzheim 🙋‍♂️

I had the great privilege of studying with Gary at Indiana University back in 1980 (when he was the youngest faculty member in IU history). I have to admit I was a bit heartbroken when he switched to the Amati since I was completely enamoured with the soulful beauty of his sound on his Vuillaume prior to that and for me that was the "Gary Hoffman sound". For a while it was like hearing someone speak with a different voice -- like a science fiction sort of body transplant. I've come to accept the beauty of the Amati and Gary's assertion that it was the right move, but I can also assert that his sound and expression were equally great before that in a different way!

Hello from Rochester! I'm an adult student. Been playing about 5 years now. I landed here as I'm looking for my next cello and after playing a Montagnana copy, fell in love with that sound! They are hard(er) to come by as people think they are "soooo" much wider. I did not notice it really. I am so amazed how many professional musicians I've seen online during my journey that come from right here in Rochester. I guess that Eastman school might have something to do with it. ;P

I would love to know what bow she uses. That’s also very important. And, how she says she shapes the voice of the violin; what techniques for that is she using or is it just happening from her playing it in normal practice.

my violin is skylark

At 14:41 a great testament to the expressiveness of gut strings in comparison, thanks so much! This does fully confirm my experiences in playing and listening as well. Isn't it that French Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique that uses all instruments and strings? I had heard them and loved them and then I was very pleased that they were playing on that wonderful British bio pic of Beethoven's first performance of the Eroica; "Eroica....The day that changed music forever'."

14:12 I was hoping there was going to be discussion of the gut strings! I find them to be more expressive on almost all if not every instrument. You can go from a warm place to a bright place if you want to it's not always bright like steel or plastic strings tend to be. I have a gut string snare drum that has a lot more expression than steel, the snare crescendo's not only in volume but in tone as well, with the steel it seems just as bright from the lower volumes to the higher volumes.

Are the strings original?

I have a real Strad if there is a serious buyer that can afford it out there.

You “gave uP” a Balestrieri just to get ‘what-every-other-professional-violinist’ has, how boring. I really adore my “B” and would never, except maybe for $$$ reasons, give it up. smh

That’s so kind of her to let others try her Strad!

Jennifer is as beautiful on the inside as she plays on the outside. What a wonderful video, sublime violin, marvelous playing and charming interaction. Jennifer is a force of nature.

Mrs. Frautschi is wonderful, thank you for uploading this wonderful documentation! But, honestly, the sound of this specific Strad does not really excel to my humble ears. Even the colour of its varnish does not specifically look classic Italian to me.

There's also a famous Russian violist and smoker who's challenging for makers and their retouching skills...

Great interview, as always. I’m curious to find out what gear you use to conduct these interviews?

A darker toned sponge cake cremonese con latte please

Would love to know the bow she's using!

That violin looks just like mine!!!

Swing to and fro....mowing as a drug addict! Why? Its a shame.

Wonderful interview.

Thanks for this video! Jennifer played the Tchaikovsky with us at the San Juan Symphony a few years ago and she and the violin sounded spectacular! It was a real pleasure to have her as soloist.

Nice playing.

This was the concert instrument of the great 20th century virtuoso and pedagogue Joseph Fuchs. The Cadiz

This is AWESOME. Beautifully performed and produced.

Great Video.. thank you for this series..
