  • Leia Zhu plays Pablo de Sarasate Zapateado, Op.23, No.2
    Piano: Sarah Mattinson
    Recorded live at her school recital hall for an exclusive online audience during the pandemic. Thank you to all involved.
    (NOW) Fourteen-year-old British violinist Leia Zhu has performed with prestigious ensembles and orchestras across the globe, including Festival Strings Lucerne, Mariinsky Symphony Orchestra, Russian National Orchestra and the National Orchestra of Belgium.
    She has played at the Salzburg, Lucerne, Rheingau Musik, Mozartfest Würzburg, White Nights and Trans-Siberian Art Festivals, to name a few, and her musical journey has also taken her to major concert halls across Europe, including the Royal Festival Hall, Brussels’ BOZAR, KKL Luncerne, Berliner Philharmonie, The Mariinsky Theatre and Moscow’s Tchaikovsky Concert Hall.
    Zhu’s UK concerto debut came in February 2020 with the English Chamber Orchestra, with whom she performed Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto and Dvořák’s Romance under conductor Joseph Wolfe.
    In 2019, she embarked on a two-week, six-city tour of Israel with the Tel Aviv Soloists Ensemble, and she has previously toured Switzerland and Germany with Festival Strings Lucerne, performed across the north of England as soloist with the English Philharmonic Ensemble, and toured Spain with the Los Angeles-based Classical Concert Chamber Orchestra. Special collaborations have included playing the 5th movement of Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole, conducted by Maxim Vengerov with the National Orchestra of Belgium at BOZAR in 2016, performing Sarasate’s Navarra for two violins with Noah Bendix-Balgley (concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra) at the Berliner Philharmonie in 2017, and sharing the stage with Roby Lakatos in Monti’s Czardas, accompanied by the Russian State Symphony Orchestra, broadcast live to an audience of millions in 2018.

    Such a calming music! Counter intuitive thought but it does calm me when I listen to it during the times I feel very low.
    Edit: I am thankful to Miss Missisipi through whom I found this one. Her rendition was terrible but I wouldnt have found it without her.

  • @susannestechow

    She enjoys playing that piece. These people play the hardest pieces by heart! What an ability to memorize music! I played once some violin pieces (different concerto movements for some different exams) by heart as well. But it was more than 30 years ago. But I think that I could only play really hard violin music by heart If I studied one piece one year long every day. But I have not time now to practize so much because of so much other work. I dream of one day when I have time to practize on violin at least one day long - and I have nothing else to do!

    I am laughing at the amount of joy I get from watching and listening to this performance, Leah is such a musician as she allows herself to become part of the music, absorbed in her interpretation of the composer's intent. This was so much fun. I am happy to see her happy, also.

    It is a shame that comments have been turned off for the companion piece, Playera. Your performance of it is really excellent!
    I know you like to stretch yourself technically but it is actually refreshing to hear your musicality and sensitivity come so much more to the fore in a relatively simple piece.

    • @jackburgess8579
      @jackburgess8579 3 роки тому

      Of course, what you say about Zapateado is quite right!
      But I didn't say anything about Zapateado or Leia's performance of it. It is her performance of Playera that I spoke and of, and it is that piece that I called "relatively simple."

    Your playing gets better and better every time you perform on UA-cam. This was a very accomplished performance. You incorporated some dance like gestures which is novel for you and I wasn't sure if perhaps these weren't slightly overdone. Maybe you have so much spare energy!

    well caught Spanish flair… with use of heels 👠 and castanets …. and mind your shoulders ( keep your good breath control going) when playing through the seductive dark emotions of his ‘Playera’… you sacrifice and work your left shoulder and arm a great deal. Avoid pain that tells you(the body’s only language that can make us listen!)you are overdoing it despite having started so early ….and aware of the importance of warming up (remember the badminton episode you described)… keep your marvellous relaxed posture that has opened so much to others impossible possibilities for you!

  • @hofmusikus91

    Beautiful in all respects; crisp pizzicati, soft harmonics, creamy legato and cantabile...I wonder if less facial expressions other seizure-like movements could be avoided to get the audience more focused on the music itself...

      Different style, different approach... one could say midori's approach beautifies the zapateado dance which some can take that as a negative.
