I just love watching Gil play anything. His joy to be in there is so heartwarming.

I simply LOVE his smile at 6:45!! This part, that goes until 8:00, is one of the greatest of all classical music. You can feel Shaham's joy while listening to it. Besides, this performance is stunning. I can't stop listening to it.

Gil plays so effortlessly. He is simply the best!

Gil is a true master of the singing line. The Hebrew word "chaim" applies well - alive in the moment, with an inner smile, showing humility and gratitude, and tapping into forces much greater than ourselves.

I love how happy Gill looked during his playing. His smile was so pure and lovely.

Beautiful music gifted to me with wonderful feeling to 82 years old Los Angeles enjoying lovely violin sounds. Thank you so much for remembering all of lovely music involving with emotional. God bless my lovely beautiful people. Thank you !

He's bow controll is just stunning...!

Gil Shaham is nothing short of fantastic. He makes everything seem so light, flawless. He understand every note of this piece - he once went for three minutes about the opening long note, coming from above - and he creates such a warm, giddy feeling on stage. I love both his accuracy, his exuberance, his showmanship, and his musicality. An overall true master of the craft!

Look's like Gil is having a good time up there on stage. What a great piece of music. Thank you Max Bruch👍

His constant joy and fun and smile on stage in this performance almost reminds of Mr Rogers :)

Such am animated soloist. Clearing have a ton of fun! Makes a big difference to not only the audience, but to orchestras members more importantly! Talking personal experience as a cellist, it's invigorating. THIS is why music is fun!

I’ve never heard such a gentle, comfortable and romantic performance🥰 The sound of Gil’s violin and the orchestra are well harmonized. Thank you so much!!

He makes playing the violin look easy. Awesome performance!

Magnificent, Bravo Gil shaham! I love how he smiles and stares at the conductor and orchestra during the play. You made my day full of happiniess and joy. Maestro Gil shaham & Myungwhun Chung. Thank you!

That's quite an original interpretation! Love how he has fun on the stage!

The glory of Bruch, the charm of Shaham. Gives ya goosebumps. Love it!

Finally found a video with clear recording of Bruch Violin Concerto without any serious noise or editing mistake... thank you so much!

Beautiful, bravo. So I guess one day Max went upstairs and found a box with the most beautiful melodies ever. Couldn't decide which one to put in his violin concerto so he used them all.

All magnificent! Gil is a violin God.

Very stressful time for me and this concerto is soothing my soul. Wonderful performance by Gil Shaham.

A sublime performance. Gil Shaham lives and enjoys every moment . And his enjoyment is infectious. Beautiful clean playing and he is so generous in his acknowkedgement of the conductor and the orchestra. A rare treat. Thank you

Simply a wonderful presentation. Shaham's delivery of another amazing performance of one of my favorite Concertos. Excellent interpretation.

Sublime, merci France Musique.💝

Thank you very much for brilliant performance Have a wonderful holiday God bless you all

At the end the concertmaster seems to be excited to have been there. He looks the age of someone who grew up listening to Gil Shaham's albums.

Cet homme est divin il vit intensément sa musique et nous transmet ses émotions au plus profond de notre âme avec le sourire en prime

Bravo maestro 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

This is an absolute treasure on youtube

07:20 my fav ♡

Un cadeau de Vie, infiniment merci 🎶💖

The way Gil plays in this version remember me a little to yehudi menuhin.

Sublime performance. Beautifully crafted! Among my most favourite renditions of this superb romantic violin concerto. Perfection & beyond into the realm of pure art. Thanks for the post. Jamshed Delvadavala Mumbai.

Exquisite! Everything a violin cocerto should be.

Great Musician! .Gil Shaham plays with Heart and Soul .BRAVO !!!

I like the conductor in this one.

Se siente como van construyendo la obra en el momento presente, el grupo completo. Director y solista dejan de lado el ego. Gracias desde Chile en 2019.

Según varios estudiosos, ésta pieza de Max Bruch es una de las más difíciles del reperatorio clásico por loq que me llama notoriamente la expresión de felicidad del intérprete al lograr el éxito de cada pasaje. Sin duda un intérprete que no solo vive la música sino también se maravilla a si mismo de lograr tal excelencia en una obra de exigencias tan particulares. Felicitaciones al intérprete; nos hace maravillarnos a todos.

The conductor looks so chilled.

Wonderful performance!

so joyful !

Fantastique Bravo

Bravo! ❤️

America, be proud of this most brilliant violinist. Israel be proud.

Why is he smiling while playing? hahaha! Very nice performance I love this.

Perfect!

Aparte de ser un excelente violinista tiene el aspecto de ser una buena persona, me encanta su cara risueña. Su versión en disco del Concierto de Bruch está considerada como una de las mejores y aquí en este video no podía ser menos.

Bravo. Classy performance.

Perfect!❤❤

Love him so much.❤

Großartige Aufführung dieses romantischen Konzerts mit traumhaft schönem Ton der Solovioline und gut harmonisierten Töne anderer Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt fast himmlisch. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt göttlicher Violinist!

Ele consegue uma tonalidade cheia do violino. Excelente interpretação

Superb

Music gives meaning to sound, from meaning to sound, is born emotion. The Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, Op. 26, is admired above all for its lyrical melodies, which were reflected in almost the full range of the instrument. The work was premiered with virtuoso violinist Joseph Joachim as soloist. The piece is not only Bruch's best known, but one of the most frequently performed of all violin concertos. The first movement of the sonata-like work « Prelude: allegro moderato » features the violinist performing impassioned solo passages alternating with a more solidly rhythmic, but sometimes ardent, orchestral voice. The second movement « Adagio » features three sentimental themes, which are explored and developed fairly equal through the solo and orchestral parts. The third movement fiery « Finale: allegro energico » is largely based on a vibrant theme that features a folk dance. The Violin Concerto has become a perennial favorite with audiences, to the detriment of Max Bruch. All my gratitude to the great violinist Gil Shaham for her beautiful execution. *Lucien*

Gil Shaham IS A LEGEND !!!!!

Hermoso

GRANDIOSO

That bowing on 06:26! Play it like a boss, Gil!

ONF je t'aime.

Uma preciosa interpretacao dumajoia musical.

Un concierto que permite pasearse por las nubes y sentirse cerca de todos nuestros ángeles

😀😃😄great!

Mon concert préféré Excellent i

buena Bruch inmortal

Maestro Chung ❤

2:38 is where it gets interesting

golden

Does anybody know the name of the concertmaster?

L'accompagnamento orchestrale è deludente !

Vuelto a ver y escuchar añado un comentario más. En este video el técnico de sonido podría haberse esmerado en dar más presencia al violín solista, queda en un segundo plano tapado por la orquesta. Por lo demás como dije una interpretación excelente.

Er ist eine Klasse für sich, das ist es.

He looks ok now. Before he lost too much weight. I was a fan. I was worried, mr gil, hope u are fine.

9:00 ❤️

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is our spoiled love child.....he can do no wrong....we almost lost him....t would have been a great loss....and nobody better make any smart comments about his lips.....!!!

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Qqun connaît il le modèle de mentonnière utilisé par Gil ?

와우 ㅋㅋ 마에스트로에게 사랑을 갈구하는 표정으로 쳐다보는 게 킬포네 ㅋㅋㅋ

Well, you might want to compare to David Garrett with the orchestra of La Scala. There is fire behind it.

1:35

7:59

am i the only one that thinks that gil shaham's smile looks like David dobrik?

Il n'y a que moi ou la justesse est approximative ? Et l'articulation pas adaptée ?

.

Ggbnm

Could he use a more difficult bowing? I don't think so. Not even if he tried 😂

Weirdest bowings ever

One of the easiest concerto. He's played it so many times in public (since he was 6 years old) I am surprised he can still stand it. Even more surprised he has the nerve to play something so easy and call it a concert. And he gets payed for playing it!

Sorry, constant dumb smiling is a complete distraction. (Communicate thru the music man, which contains various emotional messages, not one Steve Martin smiley one.) Else, why not go further & add eyewinks too!? (Because it's completely f-ing distracting & inappropriate, that's why!)
