So many as children find learning the violin a chore, few survive the rigours ... In the end only a handful, like Sharon, master its special language of rapture and flight for the benefit of all.
I never get sick of this song I rock out to it. I have a friend that I absolutely adore that can play this song on violyn and that's where I heared it.
I met Sharon corr on her solo tour in southern California, usa. she liked my redhair. but a married woman with 2 kids. I said we will met again. she laughs.
I think there’s some confusion. Sharon is not a “fiddler” in the traditional Celtic or bluegrass sense. She is a classically trained violinist. These are modern arrangements of traditional folk music played in a much more “polished” or slicker manner.
It's has to be a repeatably marketable arrangement within the style. A LOT of these faster pieces it's very easy run out of Bow length like Trout In The Bath - One slip too far and it's all over, you have not much bow left. However she is just a ferocious player.
@@CarolineViolinMusic yes good points. She is applying her talents to a song. A pop song. Or she is playing traditional Irish music (folk). Her training and sensibilities shape what she plays within those genres.
She’s no doubt a very talented and able musician, but stylistically it’s a long way off Irish style (whatever region you go by). Compare with this ua-cam.com/video/uOaBP-mxXVc/v-deo.html
I'm very late to the conversation but just wanted to thank both of you for the recommendations, I enjoyed both versions :) If I might repay the favour - I recommend this version as one I've particularly enjoyed - ua-cam.com/video/58ZlD4Psx5c/v-deo.html
it's the bowing which is simple. she's playing all the notes, but each note gets an individual bow stroke. a common bowing technique for reels is - slur 1st 3 eighth notes in a down bow, slur the next 3 eighth notes in an up bow, and play the remaining 2 eighth notes with 1 down bow and 1 up bow. adjust as necessary for quarter notes. and she doesn't use ornaments such as cuts, rolls or triplets
That's right. She's playing just fine and it sounds nice, but if you listen to this bloke here playing in his loungeroom to a backing track he recorded himself (also in his loungeroom) she's got nothing in comparison. This fella's version is a million times better, more lively, and full of ornamentation and swing, which she doesn't have any of at all. >ua-cam.com/video/UNokOSPkrs8/v-deo.html
Suzuki trained violinist attempting to play an Irish reel with absolutely no background in traditional music -- no traditional slurring, all single stroke bows, no embellishments/ornaments, and her vibrato creeps in. her Suzuki training isn’t even that good: she moves at the shoulder instead of at the elbow. cute though.
il semble que de nombreux amateurs de musique traditionnelle trouvent cette interprétation médiocre !! je me range à l'avis des experts, manque de vitalité, de panache, de virtuosité !!! elle a du peps en magasin, donc on regarde plus que l'on écoute !! elle a de bonnes qualités de second violon mais pas pour être soliste, les limites sont claires !!
Awful... Never heard an Irish reel played in such an uninspiring way... No ornamentation, a steady, robot-like rhythm that turns one of the best trad. Irish reels into a soulless dull and boring tune
My favorite Corr sister.
She holds her own very well and also a wonderful asset to the entire band.
Best wishes to Sharon and all of the Corrs.
agreed

Im so damn sorry that my generational ancestors came to America. I DEARLY LOVE IRELAND 🇮🇪. I LOVE THE CORRS AND RIVERDANCE!
I never get sick of this song I rock out to it. I have a friend that I absolutely adore that can play this song on violyn and that's where I heared it.

Does sharon play by note its not coleman style bowing. N finguring that nice. Flow of music from ur. Head

Outstanding.
So...is this a cover of Rhapsody, or is this the original?.. Or are they both covers??
Very good
Sharon corr at her best
I remember the premiere of that video and I feel like it was yesterday.
Sharon is great but I think with the corrs group this song would be a hit Good song though 👍
Very simple violin version. She should have had to play much more notes.
Fiddle tunes are often sparse.
it's the bowing which is simple. she's playing all the notes, but each note gets an individual bow stroke. a common bowing technique for reels is - slur 1st 3 eighth notes in a down bow, slur the next 3 eighth notes in an up bow, and play the remaining 2 eighth notes with 1 down bow and 1 up bow. adjust as necessary for quarter notes. and she doesn't use ornaments such as cuts, rolls or triplets
She plays the tune - sometimes people play fast with lots of ornaments, because they don't actualy 'have' the tune.
@@stevenagele9373 Quite right Steve. Stylistically it’s quite far from Irish traditional music.

Iar ai facut vreo xopii
Sherlock Holmes got me here
Sawing away... NOT Irish fiddling by any measure.
Hahahaaa everyone knows shes classivally trained. But music is beautiful you feel it, makes uou smile…. Thrn its good
@@cearuilinjayne745Martin xxxxxxxxxx
Can you Jack xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx
ヴァイオリンがアイリッシュらしくない様な気がしますけど、もしかしてクラシックの人?
Irish beauty.
Same to Paddy Mc Carthy of The Corrs. Very Good
Yeah, check that song out, and tell me if any damn irish fiddlers can match that fast pace shit.
Sharon corr is pretty damn good.
I wonder if she and Iskandar Widjaja performed together, the performance would be great. Cuz Iskandar's the world class violinist, not like her.
外人なのにベチャだなぁ❣️
Nice dance festival music. Well done. (but not connected with traditional Irish fiddling.)
wow squared
A bit classical and without enough energy for me
Particularly the classic banjo
thats not irish style. Thats classic shit

Sie spielt es so langweilig wie eine Schradieck Einspiel- und Aufwärmübung:D

kelamuni mate, I don't know anything about traditional Irish music or the Suzuki method but this sounds to me so robotic it could be a synthesiser!
kelamuni in your opinion. She could fiddle you under the table. You're talking tripe dear.
@@Petey8482 the comment is correct. It was a wooden performance by Irish traditional music standards.
Pat Aherne in your opinion? And I can confirm it wasn’t “wooden”. You’re talking tripe.
The atmosphere is happy because the piece is, not because of her. This is the most neutral version I ve ever heard

she's not that good. Seems like a classical violinist trying some Irish tunes. She should add some Irish rolls, it would sound more Irish...
+Alani Sugar that sound doesn't even correspond to a good classical musician. She isn't good anyway, neither in folk nor in classical.
+Danielviomusic yeah I guess your right.
+Sean O'Suileabhain Yeah you are so right...
+Alani Sugar agree, its listltenable, but I've head this tune played better at my local session. Needs more variation.

yeah, I think that's what I was trying to say, I just didn't know what to make of it when first hearing it...

Lousy fiddling.
The native Irish, love their Germanic colonizers.
Sooooooo bad....
Absolutely awful
