I remember when he came and played with us at the Philharmonia. He was dynamite. He used to play with a bow which had black hair on it, usually reserved for double bass bows. He also introduced some of us to some Finnish death metal which was a revelation...

How he trained that principal violinist to play slightly out of tune and with no vibrato is simply astounding.

@user-sd4dd4pn4s 5 жыл бұрын

It was a unison double stop, meaning one string was open with the same note being fingered on another. This produces both that out-of-tune sound as you can hear very clearly the differences in intonation between the fingered note and the open and the no-vib because you can't use vibrato on an open string. It's a lovely fiddling technique, not used often enough in classical music. It sounds particularly good on a Hardanger fiddle.

Well, Pekka, actually her eyes are cross-eyed - not looking in the opposite directions (is there one word for that), but looking for each other. And with a mouth over a fathom, it's a nice contrast. ...or at least enjoyable, witnessed the horses, too.

@seetaami5810 Жыл бұрын

Even if the sightlines cross each other, the individual eyes still look in 'opposite' directions. Well, definitely less than 180 degrees apart, but still quite opposite considering the positioning and purpose of human eyes.
