I'm a violinist and violist and had the opportunity to do a master class with Mr Hoffman, and it was an incredible experience. He is both a phenomenal violist and phenomenal teacher.
this sounds absolutely amazing! i am currently in the proccess of learning this piece and if i can play it half as good as this, i will be extremely happy, because this is just that good.
@cameronsanati I personally think that it sounds like a viola played right. A cello is deeper. This has the timber of a cello with the pitch and clarity of a violin, which is why a viola exists.
I'm wasn't criticising his playing. Just making a statement...geez I don't know why everyone got upset with me haha. Though I could probably play it and upload it =) I doubt it would be better since I don't have an orchestra behind me and I'm only 15 ;) Furthermore, I don't think you need to be 'better' than someone to give constructive criticism. Just my opinion :]
NICE!!!!!!!! This is pretty awesome stuff right here. Hoffman has a WONDERFUL tone, and a sensitivity and musicality that are off the charts. I am in love. The orchestra: who is this? Great stuff all around. 5 thumbs up.
@MaryKatherine Brown Same here! Good being stand partners with ya, Mary Katherine! But he seriously is one of the best violists I've heard. His sound is so beautiful!
Miles, I do not recall this being readily available in sheet music when I played the viola (1960s-early 1980s). I have heard another version of this besides yours (Peter Chung) and I wondered: what the hell was I missing? Where WAS I when this was available? It's BEAUTIFUL, and so is your interpretation!
you need to have a decent understanding both of musical technique, and the piece itself, in order to make decent criticisms. You have neither, and before you reply I don't know either, I have studied music to A-level standard (I have an A* in it), I also took my grade 8 viola aged 14 and attained a mark of 140/150. Learn when you're dealing with someone who knows a lot more than you do.
