His name?
Maxim Vangerov.
Someone share his performance playing Thai Meditation,
and yeps, that's the song I've been looking for all this while...
The 1st note he played captured me till the end...
He played like he's been playing for a century...
As though he was in his world,
where there is no one else but him and the violin.
The coolest thing was,
he played the Sibelius concerto for half and hour,
standing in front of the stage,
with the majestic orchestra behind and
playing to his heartstrings...
Bravo!
Later I stumbled upon a video which features his masterclass.
He taught four young proteges (I may say) a unique approach to present songs...
In which his secret was to visualize the music in their minds,
and tell the story with the violin...
Then, he was only 24...
So young yet so mature, so talented and soulful...
Never thought that we can actually interpret a piece using our way,
and tell stories using people's music.
The whole 45 minutes was indeed facinating...
It really inspires me to want to be like him,
to play like nothing else matters,
to play like I owned the world...
Maxim Vangerov, thank you!
I really miss vio right now...
