Midori ‘s violin tone is divine. Listening to her violin is like being in heaven. She was one of the most gifted violinist in the world. Thank you so much for your great videos.
What an absolute legend. Midori, you were and are an inspiration to women everywhere. Loved watching Seiji, Midori and Leonard, three icons, all creating and enjoying extraordinary music from their souls.
It is a wonderful piece, but you haven't heard all of it! Sadly. and for whatever reason, Midori omitted the second movement (moderato), which contains some striking harmonics and left hand pizz's. The similary gifted Chloe Chua, still only 12 but already treading the path Midori took to greatness, plays the omitted movement here. (I have started the video at the beginning of the omitted second movement.) ua-cam.com/video/pNGoAUz0nhE/v-deo.html
@@jackburgess8579 Midori played this piece well, Have you heard Gil Shaham's version? worth taking a look at and comparing; I love both interpretations!
@@jonathannguyen8985 Thank you for the suggestion. Having reacquainted myself with his performance with Abbado, I agree that Shaham sounds great and that in the main his interpretation is very persuasive. I still think Midori is more convincing though. In part this is because of her stage presence, but even sticking to audio alone I feel that Shaham overdoes the accelerandos both in quantity and quality. They are especially intrusive in the second movement (where I think the one at the end is uncalled for) and the finale of the piece (where the accelerando is so frenetic as to render Carmen more demented than animated). In the final analysis, if I had to chose one Carmen to live the rest of my life with and I couldn't have Midori's, I would go so far as to choose Chloe's over Gil's (although again Chloe's stage presence, which I find even more mesmeric than Midori's, would be part of the reason).
I must be getting "softie"; cause it moved me to tears hearing her playing with such exquisiteness; reminded of my grandpa calling me to listen to this kind of music balancing me in his knees; it got stuck in my mind, I'm so lucky!
I had never heard this before. Not only is it obviously incredibly virtuosic but it sounds amazing. The very ending just sounds so cool with the jumps to the very high notes (which may be harmonics, but I really don't know). The performance and sound quality are amazing. As close to perfection as is possible IMHO.
I remember watching this live at Tanglewood. Midori and Josuha Bell were the two youngsters I have been following since they were kids. Amazing performance. In the same night, Christa Ludwig sang a funny "I am easily assimilated" from Candide and later the fantastic chorus from West Side Story.
@@largebill1245 Thank you for this recommendation. As it happens though I am familiar with Hadelich's recital, in part because I knew that unlike most violinists, when performing the second movement (moderato) he keeps to Sarasate's score. Hadelich's performance is very good (and infinitely better than e.g. Sarah Chang's), but even after listening to it again I am sticking to my initial judgement that Midori's is the best. I didn't make that judgement lightly. I had previously reckoned Chloe Chua's performance - here ua-cam.com/video/pNGoAUz0nhE/v-deo.html - the most authentic and compelling, and I had reckoned that anything bettering it would have to be stratospheric.
fantastica presentasion una de las mejores que escuche muy afinado , muy buenos trinos y armonicos toca muy lindo y de esta cansion yo ayo que es la mejor tocando esta cansion no escuche nada igual
I remember being obsessed this video on youtube about a decade ago when I was first starting to learn violin. Anyone know what happened to that video? This used to be the only recording of Carmen Fantasy - Sarasate I could find online
This is great and full.of youthfull energy. If ya wanna see a true gypsy sarasate version see ida haendel plays Carmen's sarasate I'm conflicted about which version I prefer.. this is faster, Ida does It slower and a bit more gypsy
Midori is amazing as always, maybe my favorite violinist when it comes to playing Sarasate. I like Sohyun Ko's performance of this also. She played this at Heifetz last summer.. She also has an older performance on a Korean TV show (I think it is Korean anyway, I can't read any of the details for the vid) that is from about a year and a half ago. She is maybe 14 or 15 in those vids. Both are great, they have her mic'd up good in the TV one. Both are with piano accompaniment. 2020 TV vid ua-cam.com/video/QPJUTtxCyKU/v-deo.html and the 2021 Heifetz vid ua-cam.com/video/S1RO5dUZXfE/v-deo.html

Midori never forgets that the music, not the performer, is the star, hence her music shines brighter.

You should check out Midori playing Zapateado. Crazy good, and I think also recommended by twoset
彼女の演奏はまさに変弦自在。
彼女の琴線の調べに人々の心も
共振して一体となりそれはもう
素晴らしいものになっています。
クラシックの素晴らしさを
時を超えてこれからもすべての人々に届けてください。
とても感動しました。

😂😂😂😂😂so true
五嶋みどり、小澤征爾、そしてバーンスタイン。
素晴らしい演奏。素晴らしい、歴史的な瞬間。
動画を上げてくださった方、ありがとうございます。
I think Mr. Bernstein regarded it as the highlight of the evening, judging by his reaction. A brilliant performance!
i would get my hand cramps from playing this!!!!
I came looking to see who she was. Wow what an unexpected treat. I'll never ever forget who she is now. Absolutely stunning.
彼女が弾くバイオリンの音は、魂がこもっているよう。心臓をつかまれるように、心が揺さぶられます。
素晴らしい！

Those harmonics !!!! Her tone !!!! Just Marvellous !!!!
5:24 is the bit we are all looking for :)
Smooth transition
She makes it look so easy! 😳👏💐
So happy to find this movie as I've been looking for. So passionate and beautiful. Midori is one of a kind.
凄すぎる‼️人間技じゃない😱日本でのコンサートも沢山やって❤️

Her inspirational performance‘s sound is a lullaby of the my soul, and a cradle of my soul
Couldn’t have ever been said better
perfect harmonics!
I know right! Amazing
im playing this rn and oml what is the secret to sounding so good on the harmonics 😭
Welcome to all my fellow twosetviolin fans
I thought I was the only one lol
Hiiii!!
omg this hurts now

Those double stops though!!! Gorgeous!
I love it !!!!!!!
Breathtaking performance especially the second half...it doesn't get much better than this! And the tone of the high note at 4:59 :0

Splendid!!
26年前の6月25日か、戻れるものなら戻りたい。
良いコンサートだっただろうね。
1988年だから36年くらい前。
All those harmonics OMG
Amazing Midori.
It is a shame that she omitted the second movement (moderato)--I wonder why?!--but ignoring that, this fantastic performance is the best on YT.
Probably time as it's a birthday tribute and there are most likely several speeches during the program
Listen to augustin hadelich’s version. My favourite performance of this piece. This is also great of course

@@jackburgess8579 i think ms. Sarah did great there with this piece ... her interpretation is soo powerful !!! 😊

Sarah Chang's performance of this work is god awful. (I mean 2007 with Domingo, not her performance when still a child.)
Wow... brilliant and breathtaking ❤
Magnifique ⚘⚘⚘.
嬉しい！Beverly Sillsの司会から始まるのを見たかったです！（以前あったのに消されてしまって）
Una Maravilla♥️ Hoy especialmente dedicada a mi hermana Carla que la escuchará desde el Cielo. Arigató🙏
Oh wow. This is brilliant.

Очччень хорошо... в молодости она была неповторимо великолепна !!!
素晴らしいね
This should have more views!
Oh god.... Those harmonics....
Precioso🥺
Insane!

She is GOAT
SWEET....
She is sixteen.........
Let that sink in
😭
Bravooo
Wow
She has the fiery gypsy style. As for the passion we have...
The applause!! She did earn it though :))
03:40 onwards, holy cow
She looks so small when she walked onto the stage, but when she played she looked like an adult - similar to the way she looks now! Weird!
5:25 domain expansion starts.

Japanese LingLing?
the original Ling Ling
Totally.
What edition is this? It is very different.
The second and third part were left out because it was a birthday tribute and they(Midori & Seiji) probably didn't have much time.
行云流水。

Hilary Han's performance is far better. Even the sound of her violin is way better than this
Imagine listening to a recording from 1988 and saying that a more recent recording sounds better 🥴🤦♂️
I actually think Hahn's performance is a little clunky. Generally I love her, but she's got a real ear for Bach. I think Hahn is to Bach what Goto is to Sarasate.
