I am a student majoring in viola at Seoul Art High School. I am always impressed by your performance. I want to be like you
my dear, better "be yourself" ! we all have models but....doesn't help us to imitate too much ! good luck...
i play viola and this inspires me to play the best i can and keep pushing forward i love your performances
Thank you, Maggie. Best of luck with your viola playing and thank you for your kind words.
This arrangement of the sonata is amazing! I've never encountered your recordings before, but you are an outstanding musician! The sound is not only exquisite and warm, but the intensity with which you play is inspiring and full of life. I hope to be in one of your master classes in the future!
Amazing performance, such good violist with an outstanding instrument in his hands!
Wonderful. Brahms will like this so much.
Thank you.
Those first few notes. 👍👍. Goosebumps.
Sir, thank you for your wonderful performance. I adore your tone (and your instrument!) - so rich and expressive. You play like Oistrakh - singing, delicate but virile. I also love your vibrato, especially use of wrist and fingers in most bel canto passages. You are also clearly extremely knowledgeable - you capture the childlike innocence of Brahms lyrical passages, which is the heart of Brahms besides the heaviness and drama. (And your Mozart in K515 was how I dreamed to hear it played). Please come play in Sydney some time!
Thank you for the very kind message! I announce all of my performances from my website (www.amihaigrosz.com) or my FB page (facebook.com/amihaigrosz) - I would love to come to Sydney and perform. All the best, Amihai
So beautiful ! ! It's the sound I have always been craving ! !
So wonderful that this has been orchestrated! In case it wasn't mentioned, this is originally a clarinet / piano sonata, arranged for viola by Brahms. It is SO MUCH better as an orchestral piece. No offense to the piano accompanists out there.
Excellent arrangement and an outstanding performance
Truly beautiful!
Thank you for your perfect performance sir i really hope watch your play in the concert hall

Wonderful.Very good musical.Very good comment.Thank you Dear AMİHAİ
Sir, your sound is a wonderful example for all of us, viola players. What a performance! How does the Sonata feel with the orchestra?! I presume it feels really different, maybe a bit awkward since the context is so much different than the original piano part?.. That’s very important that you’ve picked the transcription up to all the viola world. There is few examples of great transcripstions from the music with piano to the music with orchestra. Only the greatests could be capable to do it - Schönberg, Berio, Françaix.. However, the Sonata doesn’t feel "like Brahms" anymore.. I’d love to be in the head and heart of Luciano Berio at that time. What did he think before, what unmeasurable predictions and calculations did he do?.. Strength of the solo instrument vs. orchestra, how big ? what with the original dynamics etc. What can i add, what i am allowed to change? - just to imaging his inner voice. It had to be an enormous task, even for such a master composer as Berio. Im my opinion, to make it feel more like Brahms viola concerto, it really need unlocking the viola part, give it more music from the piano part in order to build longer phrases. As for the orchestra part it appeals for more triplet-work, even more wind ensemble sections, timpani pedal notes.. Maybe he tried and he ruled it out, we will never get to know it.. Once again, thank you for such a great, mind opening and historically important performance!
You have amazing chutzpah suggesting how Berio could have done better than this! I hate to think what sort of attempt you would have made!
Perfect
Thank you for listening!
awesome
Thank you!
My friend, this is amazing. This is exactly how I picture the sound of a viola should be like! If you don't mind, would you tell me what strings do you use (brand and gauge)? I really hope you come to Paraguay some day. Thanks!
Thank you, I use a combination of Pirasto and Larsen strings. I hope to make it to Paraguay some day --
Wow I didn't know this arrangement! Beautiful❤️ is this arrangement available somewhere?
where are your rapsody Nartinu Concierto ?????? it's great!
❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful and inspiring! I'm a flutist and also play a little viola (or try to). It's not easy to find viola music to listen to and to be inspired by. Thank you for sharing your music with us! What instrument do you play? It has an amazing combination of warmth, depth, and great big sound.
Thank you for listening and the lovely compliment! I have an amazing Gaspar-da-Salo viola.
Thank you very much for that video! The sound of your viola is extremely nice to hear, and you play it so beautifully! Bravo! Greetings from France!
I guess that this very old viola requires specific care, could you find a luthier who was able and willing to take care of it and maybe do some changes? Many thanks again, your performance is wonderful!
소리 진짜 좋다 ...
I wasn't aware this existed ! Wow . Berio made a number of surprising transcriptions.Unlike Schnittke he keeps things mostly in tact .
Amihai! Amazing! I hope to meet you someday.... Fantastic!
Thank you, Samuel!
Rest for the ears.
Bravo. You've tapped into it. Enjoy
Hi! I’m currently a high school student that plays viola. I would like to major in viola in college. Do you think this would be a good audition piece for maybe a top music school like Curtis?
I never ear this viola concert...☺
It's actually a piano and clarinet sonata Brahms composed, but he also made a viola version for it. Apparently someone adapted it for orchestra and viola.
@@franciscofragoeiro5229 Luciano Berio. More than just a someone. Look him up.
@@franciscofragoeiro5229 i see
Someone knows where I can have the music for the orchestra? Thank you
...großartige Idee, tolles Werk....aber der Anfang (und insgesamt) könnte etwas knackiger für meinen Geschmack gespielt werden; nicht viel, aber ein bischen mehr.... :-)
👍
Amihai, spirocore strings and Larsen?
I think spiro C , then pirazzi G and D and Larsen A
By the way, does anyone knows about this viola?
Gasparo da Salo (maker).
Bravo! Tov me'od~~~
это соната Брамса
Why doesn't my viola sound like that. Haha.
Could you tell me how i could get this arrangement? I would like to play this piece with my orchestra

I really don't like this arrangement-- yuck!-- but I gave it a like because the playing is just so good. He's a great violist.
Beautiful! - clarinets are NOT welcome to try to play this piece! ;-)
