Select members of the Berliner Philharmoniker led three days of master classes focusing on orchestral repertoire and audition preparation. Participating young artists had the opportunity to sit on stage with the orchestra during their dress rehearsal and attend the Berliner Philharmoniker in performance, led by Sir Simon Rattle in Carnegie Hall.

I've been reading the comments on a lot of these master class videos, and I'm getting tired of people bashing the teachers. A master class is designed for the teacher to provide constructive criticism for the student, not ooh and aah about the student. Noah Bendix-Balgley is kind and helpful, with a delightful sense of humor. And yes, obviously the better musician. Ann Yu certainly spent hours practicing her piece to prepare for her audition, while Bendix-Balgley is just walking up and perusing the score without warmup.
The twaddle you read in the comment section sometimes... Goodness.
This teacher gave brilliant insights and is a true master, as well as gentle demeanour.
He is a real musician. His interpretation is stunning..
This guy is great! Anyone who has played a while can see how technically she played it. Instead of stating such he instantly broke down her technique, gave her context, and gave her the tools to make her instrument have a voice and sing!
Exactly right. With respect to Ms. Wu, she seemed to be playing notes with hardly any sense of the line of the melody.
But it is not a concerto for solo violin. It is tutti orchestra... I m a bit 😕
His violin literally sings!! It's beautiful!!
Yes - special violin, whatever it is - does anyone know?
1732 Carlo Bergonzi
at 12:45 i thought he was literally singing like he did at the start lol you can hear the violin saying du du du xd
As well as her
As well as her
I am not a professional musician - just a lover of music and Mozart in particular, but I watched this video with a huge interest. Now I start to understand why the same composition sounds completely differently in performance of different orchestras. Thank you!
I like this man. he is absolutely right.
@Ramesses II Setepenre I think she's holding her violin lower and not as upright as he is. A violist tends to hold their instrument lower due to the length, so I think that's why
Her violin has such a deep gentle tone! I love it. I play violin in an orchestra and these techniques help a lot because I play a lot of mozart too!
@Ricky Anthony very true, I'm top choice for solos and the first violinist so in times where I'm playing alone it will work
What a great teacher, great student and genius Mozart!
im a double bass player and this helped me so much , thanks for uploading this
This guy’s staccato is perfect!!
Stop being critics 😂😂
You do know he is the concertmaster of Berlin Phil right?
Nikhil Deo really?
Yes, go search it up or read the description
I agree. For the concertmaster of the planet's greatest orchestra, you should give serious consideration to what he says. I asume this was not an audtion for the Berlin Philharmonic.
Read the description oh my god
Oh
Great playing Ann Yu - nice sound, excellent intonation, fine technique.
His tone is amazing
his sound 😍
That was so amazing. So helpful! I loved the part about adding a bit more character and phrasing, and I loved how he actually demonstrated that.
Thank you for watching, and we're glad you enjoyed it.
Very helpful masterclass. Noah is kind and smiling, I think he’s teaching style is effective and inspiring to students. Thank you for sharing! ☺️🇵🇭
We're glad to hear you found this Master Class helpful!
This guy's comments are world class critique
kerumble yes!!! :)
If you ever take any lesson from Berliner philharmonic you will know they all like that.... No matter what and how you will play it is never good for them...
Lmao
Vla Music it’s to make sure the cycle continues and if they teach to others no one ever is said to completely mastered it so the violin continues and is open to play and for lots of practice lol.
@@vla179 I had the luck to be conducted by one of their second violinists, Stanley Dodds, and to work with different members from Berlin Philamonics as soloists and it may be true: music is never finished or perfect for them. But what I saw with all of them was that they all care for young musicians and try to teach as good as possible. And to be honest in 14 years of violin lections i never learned as much as in the few orchestra rehearsals with Mr. Dodds. So maybe, its never perfect for them, but they will always encourage and help you to get to your best version.
Why I am watching this. I am a pianist
蒯浪 if ur a musician them it's fine
蒯浪 why not? I watch history documentaries and I'm not an historian. We can learn something from everything
Gaf Hadly That is right
This video is filled with wonderful little insights for any musician.
Lang Kuai omg right?!
Why am I watching this? I'm unemployed
She is such an amazing student and I would absolutely love for him to teach me. He is truly great at what he does. Kudos!!!
He´s Great!

Although I am an amateur trombone player I enjoyed this one. He seems a nice guy and it was interesting to see them work together.
He is a very very musical violinist, superb!
She is catching up really nice compliments.
this world is just beautiful
I am a pianist but this makes me happy. I don't know why
Henri Roy No, piano is more beautiful. Especially the bass in piano, plus piano doesn’t involve screeching.
Henri Roy Yes, you can be more expressive, but you can also be expressive on piano. You can also imitate a string quartet if you wanted to. On violin, its just solo and thats it.
Henri Roy Well, of course you can play two different notes at the same time... i still prefer piano over violin, though.
@Henri Roy piano is the most beautiful Instrument because of all the different Sounds you can make it stands on it’s one
I know I'm not at their level, not even close but this still helps violinists at all levels like me
I have to play the end of her excerpt and further for an audition and this really helped my phrasing
I need to remember the idea of frames. My runs always get muddy so separating things into frames will definitely help especially as a reset if I need to correct a run midway through.
Noah's got a great attitude. Love it.
Great job, both Ann and Noah!
He is incredibly knowledgeable😍
Watching the bow is mesmerizing to me.
So interesting, the student is also professional, but the teacher is super amazing 😉
Enjoyed this very much!
A great coach with cute smile😃
I can't get over this height difference.
Just amazing !
Primer comentario en español latino jjajaka puros gringos se nota que hay pocos weones que escuchan esta máster class en Chile puros weones flaites que les gusta el reggeaton, cumbia, ranchera el rap y el rock y nadie a menos que uno estudie llega a esto pero es una pobreza que nadie comente en Chile bueno decir que la chica toca muy bien y el maestro a cargo es excelente ojala hubieran maestros así por estos lados ya que los que hay son muy pa dentro no dan el conocimiento a cualquiera y son precios muy elevados para acceder a sus clases hay mucha gente que le encantaría aprender pero eso es una limitan te para los que no poseen recursos creo que la música del violin es esquisita y tocar mozart es todo un privilegio que gozan algunos pero esto debiera ser materia de estudio en los colegios y universidades no sólo es música es inteligencia al tocar y cultura rica en conocimiento los genios deben saber esto para finalizar mi comentario debo mencionar a otro genio que creo está al nivel de mozart y digo esto con todo mis respeto a paganini luego hay muchos pero en fin al que se dio tiempo de leer esto denle like y compartan!!!!
I'm violist, and we are playing this piece, thank you :D
Well done, Noah! Good to see you now on the other side of the master classes :)
Lol just watched this entire video at 1,25 speed, didn't realize until I opened another video. Damn that was :D
Very good!
What a fabulous session! Thank you so much for uploading!)
she has a very nice voice...she only said sorry at first but still
Christ. You two are so talented.
The Student have a great Violin too!
Beautiful playing.
Her sound is rough and dull in many places, not sure if it is the instrument, bow, or recording albeit that's why she is on the master class. Apparently, the professional player demonstrates the articulation. Enjoyed it. Thanks!
Thanks for upliading this great masterclass!
Thank you for watching!
What a sensational music lesson !!!! (I also hope she practices to use her entire body to play the instrument, not just the a bow and fingers).
amazing 👏👏👏
Wonderful musicians thanks for uploading !!!! Which level of difficulty is this symphony?
Very talented ❤
I just imagine what would be his critics about me when I played to him. Probably he would advice me to give up playing violin
same here...except that I play the cello
lmao
I "hear" the accompaniment in my mind as she plays. Do some of you too?
Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
How should we play it for an orchestra audition: like it is really properly played in the section or rather like a solo?
Because nobody is going to play like a soloist in the section (but perhaps sometimes the concert master). Also, couldnt it be a mistake by the judges to hire a musician to sit in the section who cannot play well those delicated soft passages but is more used to play full blown (like everybody is ordered to play all the time)?
The sound of the girl's violin is so brillant
Wow, what a dramatic improvement in phrasing the second time around.
The benefits of practice, practice, practice!
@@carnegiehall ooooo Carnegie Hall listens to TwoSetViolin...PRACTICE...like LingLing who practices 40 hours a day lol
Amazing!
I have never had a violin and have always wanted one, DO you have extras , lbs.
Great!
Give her a seat among the masters, and in a couple of years she‘ll be a one herself.
Wow amazing violin 🎻
I need more classical music suggestions
I would feel there might have been definite differences between student and coach. especially bowing articulation, sound making with bow length. student might be thinking only f and p. (soon be 91yrs.Japanese) sorry strange English.
Fantastico!
Her bridge is angled a bit forward. She should fix that soon.
Made SG Putra because you say so? Ha
s B i don't think I'm understand
Well spotted!
@@samanthab6642 He's not criticizing her technique. He's pointing out that the bridge on her violin is angled forward. It should be perpendicular with the front of the violin
I don't know if this really work on the sound, but I know a violist that put the bridge a little backward angled, arguing that the strings get a different tone with this bridge position.
Hermoso
Very nice.
I m confused. So, in auditions , should we play the tutti like solo or not?
i wish i have someone to teach me
like him
what orchestra plays the student in?
She was a student at CIM
What microphone that you used for record this video?
Is he playing Nigel Kennedy's old violin?
Yes, he is.
Indeed
Why do they call him “first concertmaster?” Is that the same thing as concertmaster?
The berlin philharmonic has several concertmasters
The titles are a little different. A “principal” or “concertmaster” is what in America we’d call an associate or assistant principal. The actual “principals” as we would think of them have “First” before their title, so First Principal Cello or First Concertmaster. (Some German orchestras instead give them a “solo” title.)
In addition, in most sections there is also more than one First Principal. Most sections have two, and there are three First Concertmasters.
The master has a better fiddle; tone is less harsh
perfect
"Articulation" he said it about 38296392739 times but still a great violinist
Mozart is all articulation, buddy.
This man is ammmmmmazing , what's his name ?
Noah Bendix-Balgley
Concertmaster of Berlin Phil
When the phone rings tho lol.
That's so hard.
Why i am watching this i am a painter
How old is she and how do you get into this master class situation?! XD god I lessons
Is it by pure professionalism that his violin sounds better than hers, or is that more because of the bow, strings and such ?
Ivan Siderov probably a little bit of both, the violin he is playing is incredibly nice, if I had to guess old French or Italian so it probably sings a little bit better than hers but he’s also obviously a better player too
What was the second piece she played called?
Jaye Curry Symphony No 40 in G minor Finale (Allegro assai)
summer scent Thank you!!😄
I like his violin. Can anyone tell me the violin is by who?
Lex Sitt it's a 1732 Bergonzi.
Henri Roy it's publicly available knowledge
*Ling ling confirmed*
Uma Anônima TWOSEEEEET
Please shut up
its being blatantly racist for me :)
@@moonjellyf00l omg no its an inside joke of like a youtube channel and 'lingling' is like someone who practices 40 hours a day and beats all people and everyone wants to play like lingling
Why did you delete a viola master class?
Vla Music its viola of course
that guy looks like a giant next to her lmao
Tbf he IS a giant. Both musically and phisically
is that a viola
Im watching this because a play the violin.
Thank you for visiting our channel and listening!
സൂപ്പർ
She’s starting the trills on the wrong note whereas the guy is doing it correctly. He doesn’t seem to notice that. Btw I agree that he has a much better instrument than hers.
For someone who critics, i can guarantee you that he is super nice. Compare to my violin teacher, meh..... She slapped me everytime xD
Hello ! Doigté : in mes 65 the note A is with the 2 ? in mesure 66 the second note low D is with 1 ; mes 67 f# is with 1 ? a good fingering is alway very important !
