I'm a lefty and have always played a normal viola so it's not like its impossible. My first teacher was also left handed and played right handed. Although the bowing hand is weaker we have an advantage for fingering agility.
i didn't appreciate when this video (along with the other movements) was taken off youtube... good to see this one's back at least :) i prefer Bashmet's rendition to all the rest
@solartongue I agree with you completely, all other violists sound so sloppy when they change registers, bashmet is the only one who controls the lack of stability in different registers of the viola, in this case he is using all different colors and changes the timbre all the time, NOONE sounds like him he is a monster...
@BaboonBassoon I have posted a video with someone playing the arpeggione and received some positive responses. Of course the piano should be an early one (of Schubert's time) too! (By the way, the word is "definitely"). But we can rarely hear any music of before the 20th century as the composer would have heard it! It's the music that counts and players like Bashmet do great justice to it!
@BaboonBassoon A really good recording? So this is not good enough? Where can you find one with an arpeggione? And who would play it as well as Bashmet?
Um, no offense, but I am pretty sure there is no such thing as a lefty viola. It really does not matter whether or not you are a lefty. It will just be all that much easier to finger the notes if left is your dominant hand. But you can learn the regular viola whether or not you are a southpaw. There is no fundamental difference.
One has definitively got to listen the version of Bruno Giuranna, which is so fluid, so out of contingences. Giuranna is very high above the version of Bashmet, in my opinion.
@VelikyRostov9 Wow ... You clearly don't know entirely what you're saying. Calling the piano slow and dark? It's able to play faster than any other mainstream instrument. The viola does not have steel strings; they're nylon. Also, insinuating that you should ever use ponticello in Schubert is tantamount to sacrilege. Before you make condescending remarks about great performers, respect them, and please don't be so flippant.
Plenty of lefty violas around that can be had for not too long money. Don't learn "backwards" you will never have nuance in your bowing if it's "off-hand". check out Gliga for a viola, or Charming Song Violin (china) who will make you anything they offer in lefty, at a very reasonable rate. Both have ebay listings, usually.
I agree. His recording of this piece from the 1990s is way superior. This sounds sloppy and rushed. His vibrato is very intense and nervous sounding-- not stylistically right for this kind of late-classical/early-romantic repertoire. I just don't think this is up to his old standards.
Это лучшее исполнение❤,сама альтистка...это супер!!!!))))
Слышала это произведение лет 30 назад в исполнении Юрия Башмета и Михаила Мунтяна. Осталось впечатление как эталонного исполнения.
Magnifiques artistes et magnifique oeuvre : merci!
Как здорово звучит . Мой сын будет это исполнять 29.11.2021 года .И произведение и исполнение --всё на высшем уровне
Yuri Bashmet ... le plus grand !
Gorgeous version. Bashmet's got it. A great violist is worth 1000 pitzy fiddlers.
Magnifico !
nossa, valeu, a muito tempo tava procurando esse video!!!

I disagree. He's great, but Pinchas Zukerman and KIm Kashkashian are way better. Zukerman's Arpeggione blows this out of the water.

Enormous difference musicality ...

Thanks!!!!
it seems Schubert wrote it for Bashmet...
perfeito!!!
I wish I could play like that.
This is a piano sonata with viola orz
@BaboonBassoon A really good recording? So this is not good enough?
Where can you find one with an arpeggione? And who would play it as well as Bashmet?
Look out for Timothy Ridout , winner of THE viola prize 2019
Does anyone know when this performance was recorded? Thank you.
Il n'y a pas d'égal selon moi 😍
BRAVO
Exactly right. And he uses steel strings.
@chrispidicello eh everyone makes mistakes
Alrighty..,just imagine it would be rather awkward to handle in a viola section in an orchestra where everyone else's viola points the other way.
Does anyone know what year this recording comes from? and where was it recorded? I will be grateful for your response :)
hi, it was recorded at festival verbier
I'm a lefty.. I play left-handed violas. ergo, there IS such a thing.

Башмет не везде выигрывает.Не ожидал.

¿Es Alejandro Dolina? (chiste)

Bashmet do play with Spirocore steel strings
God is more good-looking!!!!!!
so it is not good for me

Wow, glory days are quickly left behind once you stop practicing enough. Far from the past perfection unfortunately.
WITH YOU.

THE PIANIST SHOULD LISTEN BETTER OF HER ANSAMBLE MEMBER.
NIGHT MERE .DID NOT EXPECT FROM BASHMET SUCH TERRIBLE PERFORMANCWE OF THIS MUSIC.
2:28... intonation not exactly world class
