people don't realize that violas are just amazing as violins (even more) and this video shows it.
+NikkiThePlatypus Fantastic comment! Thank you NikkiThePlatypus :)
I'm a violist myself, and I must admit I often go to your channel for references for pieces I'm working on! Beautiful! Stunning!
Thank you Liam.
hey liam it's me lucas, thought I'd give this piece a listen since everyone at camp played it
@lucaskim2126 oooh heyy Lucas! Nice to hear from you! Yeah everyone played it because it's just TOO beautiful! Miss you all ❤
I've been playing viola for 3 years now and I'm a freshman in high school I'm second chair and I just wanna let you know that you've inspired me to go even more in depth with the viola because even after 3 years I had no idea it could sound that beautiful
I hope viola is still in your life after all of this time :)
To my astonishment, Marc Sabbah is yet another splendid player of the viola out of a group I have come to discover recently. I am amazed at the present range of outstanding international violists when I compare the paucity of such in former times.
Dear Marc, could you please say something about the provenance of your superb instrument? Many thanks & dear greetings from Bonn (Beethoven's birth place)
The opening to this piece is just beautiful. I really wish there was a viola concerto with that degree of melodic beauty the whole way through, only pure singing. Most of them end up displaying virtuosity, which while fun sometimes, doesn't give me the same satisfaction that I get from letting my viola ring on sweet phrases. It's probably why I've always been so fond of Mozart, Brahms, and Tchaikovsky: they stacks so many melodic elements into their pieces. Very well done by the way. I'm definitely not at the point to where I could perform such a challenging piece (although probably not too far), so I admire your accomplishment.
I think someone pressed the wrong button... impossible not like!
Thanks Pedro
You play the Walton with such a deep soul understanding for this piece. We love you Marc!
you stole me away Marc, thank you for this amazing performance
Thank you so much Mahmut, please share the video if you can.
Finally a good version on UA-cam! Congrats
Thank you Joaqin! Please share the video if you enjoy it.
Absolute favorite recording! I'm working on this concerto right now and this is a recording listen to often. The phrasing speaks to me. Bravo!
The best interpretation of this beautiful piece of music in all of UA-cam
Thank you Nando
Great performance! I love what you do with time, it's so expressive
I am in love with you. Seriously.
Thank you for being inspiring!!
Opening mvt is slower than many but such gorgeous tone and phrasing.
Wonderful. Thanks for posting.
Exceptional playing! This concerto was beautiful enough to bring someone to the point of tears! Fantastic job!

new role model. thanks!!AWESOME
Bravo Marc))) 🌹
better than any recording of yuri
Thank you Juhann, thats very kind of you!
I agree.
Complimenti Maestro !!!
I am shocked that this kind of a piece exists. And you play it with the emotion and power I can hope to one day. I am planning on playing this first movement for my final in orchestra, and in the six weeks I have to practice it, hopefully I can play it half as well as this. And one question: where did you get the sheet music?
Funny And Original Name thank you for your nice comment. I believe you must buy the music either online or at your local sheet music store.
Increíble
Gracias
Bravo!! So Lyrical!
Magnific!!!
Marc, this concerto is played unbelievably well, I try to listen to this recording often, because It is the best one I've found so far; and I am interested in playing this. However I have one question for you. Is there another recording out there that you enjoy quite a large deal? If so, by who? I am curious. Great work on this concerto, truly magnificent.
+That One Skier Thank you for your nice comment. I'm glad you enjoyed my performance. There is not a recording I particularly love but Lars Anders Tomter has quite a good version.
Awesome
You are so good. I really think you are among the top of the world. (sure you made like 3 small mistakes) but wow your control and tone of the viola is amazing. I am working on this piece myself and using your fingering and interpretation. I hope you dont mind :D
존경멘...
you are good viola player.^^
your viola looks kind of small, is ti a 15 1/2”, 16” or above?
by the way good playing.
Shiu Chit Chan thank you. It's 16 and a quarter. It is a slender viola.

Good memories
What is the fabric used for the chin cup?
Wonderful performance. I'm actually looking for a copy of just the viola part with all mvts for an audition. I was wandering were i could find a good copy, because it's still under copy right so imslp doesn't have it. Were did you get yours?
Thank you for the comment. I'm afraid you're going to have to buy the piano reduction with viola solo part. Boosey & Hawkes sell a good version that I use but of course I've changed bowing and added my own personal flare as I hope you will. Good luck.
Marc Sabbah like this?
I played this. Very uncomfortable piece. Doesn't "lay well" on the viola at all. Though it does have "cool" parts. The A-major-ish part or the tiny fuge towards the end of the first movement.
Great rendering! Kudos! 😁👍
who is here, because tomorrowland, like me?
2:59 JUST LISTEN TO HOW CRISP THE A SOUNDSP
I do not understand this music. Is atonal and un-structured. Maybe it was written to create a feeling of uncertainty. The soloist has a very good sound and intonation. Congrats !
Hi,
I am sorry! I gave this a thumbs down! It isn't really that I think you did a bad job (I especially liked your vibrato at the start), but I have to say I am not such a huge fan of your interpretation generally. I know you were slowing down for effect, but some times I thought it broke the flow of the music. Also, if you make a face while you are playing, it creates tension which spreads into the rest of your body and makes it harder to play.
I see your point, but see some of the most famous violinists (ie vengerov, Perlman) making faces as a result of pure emotion they feel whilst playing. If we all played with a straight face, we would be void of this display of emotion while we play. We are performers as well as musicians, an audience appreciates a show of emotion and passion, not just a beautifully performed concerto.
Is the first time I see a good reason for dislike a video; congratulations, good man.
the body reveals the emotions we feel. I make faces when he plays and when I play too .
Great performance! I love what you do with time, it's so expressive
