Yes, his accents were a bit to sharp for my taste (I prefer the more rounded bow speed accents at the beginning myself) but either way it is a beautiful piece performed with such passion.
Bashmet has never been my favorite violist, and this piece changes nothing in that regard. Anna Serova plays it better, IMHO, although the recording quality isn't as good. It will be awesome when Ori Kam plays it and posts it... Kam is my favorite violist...
@lekmioas I am also Hungarian. That hardly makes you (or me) an expert on this music. Now, if you are a Hungarian viola player who has played this with a reputable orchestra, your comments MAY mean a little more. But just being Hungarian is not enough. That's like saying that only an Israeli can properly understand Perlman.
What a wonderful music, but what a boring interpretation!!!!it´s a shame, one of the best violist ever... just as an experiment, close your eyes and listen to... you never believe that is the great Bashmet playing!!!sounds like a nice etude..where is the frasing, dynamics, counterpoint??? Have to say that Eb Major section is nice, that´s all! Thanks figura20000 for post it.
Lá viola de Bashmet é uma viola tamanho 42. Parece grande porque ele tem somente 1,64 de altura. Zukermann por exemplo tem 1.85 e a viola 42 parece pequena.
Gostei, mas as acentuações iniciais parecem-me um pouco excessivas, quase caricaturais. O título original é "Andante e rondo ungarese": portanto só o rondó é que é húngaro, não o andante. A versão francesa também usa o singular - hungrois . . .
i cant get over the amazing sound his viola produces its simply overwhelming and completely soothing at the same time!
If I close my eyes, I don't get to watch him play! :)
However yes, I know what you're saying. However, I still find it beautiful.

@lekmioas then if I misunderstood your comments, my apologies. Better THIS music than AC/DC... :)
It is original for basoon, and Weber transcribed himself for viola. you have Primrose "edition" not version!
Yeah I just don't know how I feel about those ridiculous accents at the beginning. But no doubt he is a baller at playing.
andante (;
black t-shirts why?
he plays the rhythm incorrectly at the beginning
mymainmanrichieT actually he doesn’t. He’s just emphasizing the accents a lot. Take it from a violist who is playing this piece
what the hell???

Sounds cool but very stylistically WRONG. But hey if you are that famous I guess you can afford it.
Do you know who transcribed this version?!
I am playing the one that Primrose transcribed and it seems to be incredibly different!

Instablaster...
Bashmet violas ~ 16 inch , 403 mm
Bashmet makes Weber sound more modern, more brisk
I play this piece in my orchestra!

nice to listen and compare with the bassoon version!
the red ones were all sold out
The Velvet Underground
He's just right, IMO. It takes a little more strength to get the full sound out of the note on a viola.
viola.. the portable cello
really bad！
