A true master. Doesn’t have to be looking at the strings.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it yet, but he's choking the hell out of those violins! I'm in awe of him as a violinist, but I've noticed that he presses more and more as he gets older.

actually it's probably because of 2 things. First, the mic is too close to the violin so you can hear the noise. Second the room has really poor accoustics

Yes! I notice that too,his Ysaye sonatas are disturbingly too pressed😢 he is still one of my idols though

Mintz always had strong catch on his bow..although sometimes a little tight sounding... The compactness must feel so solid!

I don't think they have to be compared.Each of the instruments have its own unique beautiful sound .

wow unbelievable that you have meet this legends

Bravissimo il M° Shlomo Mintz e la voce di questo strumento è molto bella !!!! Pino.

Grater master!

I can't believe he moved the bridge.... whatever Luthier set that up is furious if they're watching. You never move the bridge. Shocking. It immediately lost its clarity. You change its relationship to the sound post and its geometry on the violin.

He's scratching those beautiful violins

I like the Mintz instrument more, the formant is more pronounced. besides, Vesuvius is a bit booming, you can hear that it's already sunset, although it's beautiful, of course.

It s better to remember capricci nice trumpet playing anyway

It does sound a bit gritty, but that's how a violin sounds from real close. This sound's actually sweet and clear once you're far on a hall! The difficulty lies in knowing this when you study. If you try to sound good and sweet to your own ear, you won't project and people from afar won't enjoy that sweetness.

He plays on a guadagnini

Anyone knows the violin he plays?Guadagnini?Stradivari school? Some say Stradivari school meaning what? that was made at the atelier of Stradivarius but not by him himself? Personally for my taste I think that Vesuvius sounds better, he uses great pressure on the right hand and the Vesuvius takes it like a champ, more clean sound, but when he picks his own the sound seems cheap and scratchier. Shlomo Mintz is a legend but could play in a better violin.

His own instrument sounds better. The Vesuvius has projection, but the sound is thin, rather tinny. I'm not a fan of his own instrument, but it has a more full range of tonality - more depth than the V. You can also hear the stops better. I've heard better modern violins. Many things can improve sound - strings, internal things like bass bars, position of the post (finding sweet spots), humidity, regular playing, etc. Anyone understand the Italian?

The Vesivius really sounded dull, its tone is very low. Like the tone of an electric guitar with 0 tone level adjusted. Maybe the string has to do with it?

Since the Vesuvius obviously is a Museum exhibit and rarely played it must sound dull and dead even in the hands of such a master and possibly with the best of strings and best of bows. Maybe the same is true of the beautiful Messiah Strad (presumably crafted by J.B. Vuilleaume) in the Oxford Museum that never was played in public. Probably a disappointment.

@FiddlerSteve

7 жыл бұрын

I understand the Museo del Violino has a curator who plays the instruments regularly so assume the Vesuvius probably gets some exercise, unlike the Messiah. Wouldn't be the same as having a virtuoso concertize with it though.

The vesuvius sounds better, clearer, more focus and pop. But, unbelievably, he moved the bridge!! Only a luthier should ever move a bridge or sound post. It immediately lost its clarity after he moved it.
