From beginning to end of the entire concert, you could bob your head and dance to the relaxed rhythms.
Many of the most devout devotees of music:
Many fans gathered in Leipzig's market square and stood in the drizzle, applauding and applauding the show with gusto.
The most touching chorus:
"Thank you all for singing Ave Maria with Bobby McFerrin, for whom such an attempt was unsure until then, but it turns out that in Leipzig, we can do it!" These were the original words of the presenter. I'm sure you'll be able to relate after hearing 19 Improvisation Improvisation.
The most bona fide world premiere:
The third Fugue in D Major, Fugue No. 5 in the Mean Time, was rehearsed by Bobby McFerrin and the Jacques Roussel Trio only the day before the concert.
The toughest "trek":
That was for me, lol. I spent hours trying to extract the audio from this DVD, from downloading the software to grabbing and splitting the files, tired, but happy.

Bobby McFerrin Bobby McFerrin
Bobby McFerrin, with virtually no lyrics at all (at best, only a line and a half), improvises purely on vocals, and yet is so brilliant that it will make your heart skip a beat... With a four-octave range, he plays a one-man band with aplomb - from a saxophone solo with a sexy alto, to an African drumming round with a solid bass, to a soprano flute that moves through the clouds before you can catch your breath - it's breathtaking! Not only does he have the musical talent inherited from his African-American singer father, but he also has a lot of hard work to do! Having first fallen in love with the clarinet, which is close to the human voice, he soon switched to the piano and later became a classical conductor - Bobby McFerrin was born in 1950 and it was not until 1977 that he decided to express his passion for music with his own voice. Years of hard work and an in-depth knowledge of the various instruments brought him endless ideas when interpreting jazz compositions! That's what's so admirable, because there are very few classical conductors who have the arrogance of being the only one in the world, and who have been able to set aside such preconceptions and devote themselves to jazz as a deviation from the norm.
It's probably not accurate to say that Bobby McFerrin is a jazz singer, not only because he plays many roles, but also because he's a composer and conductor, and his music is by no means limited to jazz, with some of his songs being so novel in their conceptualization that they probably don't fit into any one musical category. However, he's not too highbrow either, and when he plays almost R&B songs you can also think of him as a pop singer. But don't forget - he still conducts classical ensembles without interruption, and his natural vocal talent is at its best when he conducts choirs! Whether you like jazz or not - such a versatile musician is not to be missed by music lovers.
Gil Shaham
Gil Shaham is an up-and-coming American violinist born in Illinois in 1971. Both his parents were scientists. The family moved back to Israel to settle in 1972. Shaham began violin studies at the age of seven with Samuel Bernstein at the Rabin Conservatory of Music in Jerusalem. He progressed quickly, and two years later was invited to play for Stern, Milstein and Schelling, among others. in the summer of 1980, he attended the Aspen Music School in Colorado, USA, where he was instructed by Ms. DeLay and Ellerman, among others. The following year, he gave his first concert at the age of 10. In 1982, he won the first prize in the Claremont Competition and was admitted to the Juilliard School in New York to study with Ms. DeLay and Ellerman, among others, and in 1992, Shaham made his Carnegie Hall debut, culminating an increasingly busy touring schedule in Europe and the United States.
Shaham was born and raised in a scientific family, and science is all about reason, logic and order. These influences have been implicit in Shaham's unique style of violin playing. His left hand is clean, his bow has the right amount of pressure and power, he masters a variety of bowing techniques, and his articulation is crisp and clear. The expression of the content of the piece is mainly derived from analysis. Whatever he plays, he is always cautious and careful, staying within the limits of his ability and rarely taking risks.
