I am less than an ametuer, but that was incredible...i haev been watching alot of videos and your bowing is so precise, the sound was enchanting.

THAT..WAS..SWEETNESS!!!! THAT WAS SO AWESOME.

Bravo- first of all. I would make a couple of little suggestions. Experiment with using different parts and amounts of the bow to get a wider range of characters. In the accompanied Harmonics, practice slowly in the middle of bow, on string, legato and focus on sounding point.
But your performance is already excellent.
Cheers,

Odin Rathnam

BRAVO!!! It`s a very difficult work and you are very precise!!! just a suggestion, but there is not a critic: try to play it more "staccato" to get more the brilliant caracter of the piece... anyway I loved your video!!!

interesting, he has had better intonation in previous videos.

Excellent playing! Congratulations! Continue like that! Looking forward for more recordings from you!
Could we listen to some Bach too?

From Brian Hong (Posted: Dec 6, 2007)
oh my g-d, man. That was great. If I somehow play as great as you do by the time I die, I will be happy. Only thing I noticed is that you weren't in tune with the piano. But, your bow control is great. It's so great to see students with such a flexible wrist. Keep it up man! I hope you won the competition!
