Although (unfortunately) i rarely crave to listen to classical music, it can never be compared to modern music in the way it transfers emotions and the awe it inspires
To all who are appalled by the criticism of the context of Kol Nidrei in a church: I personally favor an open approach, that brings together religions on their common ground. But I think I understand the background to this, and it might help you to understand it too: Kol Nidrei was chanted to legitimize the joining in prayer of "Anusim", Jews who were cruelly coerced into becoming Christians by the Inquisition. The Church became a symbol of persecution for Jews. Hence the dissonance.
I can't believe somebody actually has the audacity to say, "There is no male dominance in the classical music". Ever noticed who is usually conducting the orchestras of the world?
Well I listen to music and couldn't care less abour sex, religion or skin colour. This is a beautiful rendition.
However knowing how many superb female violinists in orchestras and as soloists, I suspect that the loss was mainly to the Vienese audiences when women were not allowed.
Frankly this is the kind of things we need to hear in such obnoxious world. I really loved it and considering what Kol Nidrei means to all the Jewish people I wish to see more and more ofi these in the near future. Congratulations to you Peter1945 !! Caio Maghidman from Brazil.
Bruch was not a Jew, he was Protestant. So the over reaction about women being subjugated is unwarranted. Oversensitizing everything that could be related to a religion that could have subjugated women at one time in history is so ridiculous! Get a life!
This piece holds an almost unearthly beauty, and makes me want to cry for no apparent reason...it's so beautiful, I don't even have words to describe it. An absolutely moving and breathtaking piece...And bravo to the wonderful soloist. Her tone is sweet, clear, singing, and resonant...Excellent. =)
@lynchie3000: Why? Do you actually know what Kol Nidre means? And for the record, this Kol Nidre is primarily a piece of classical music. It was written by a Christian who was influenced by Jewish music. This piece was not written specifically for liturgy.
@freshlycleanedhands: This piece of music was written by a Christian who was influenced by Jewish music. It was not written specifically for liturgical use. It is more than reminiscent of the Kol Nidre as proclaimed at Yom Kippur, but it is an individual piece of music. You might want to research this a bit more carefully before you condemn.
Besides being a splendid performance, I reflect that in addition to the Vienna Philharmonic's historical repression of women musicians, the Jews themselves subjected women to the back benches of their synagogues, where for centuries they have had to listen to Kol Nidre over the heads of the dominant male.
@lfreundlich1 This is the reason, why we founded this orchestra 1999 against all odds! So you can sit in the first row and listen to what ever you want if you have enough money to honour our work as you are forced to do with any other ensemble too! Thanks for your comment !
As an orthodox Jewish woman I am offended to hear you say that women are subjugated because they sit in a separate section in synagogues. In the synagogue I prayed at since childhood the women's section was above the men looking down at them. The point of separating women and men during prayetr is so that everyone prays exclusively to G-d and that Mr. X in not checking out Miss. Y while praying. The reason that women do not take part in prayer is that men sinned in the dessert
@lfreundlich1 In Othodox synagogues women still sit separately from men, in some synagogues on balconies. It's good to be respectful to their customs.
In most places and most synagogues the women would, and still do, sit up above in a balcony - opera style, or be in separate seating parallel to this 'dominant male' of which you speak.
@lfreundlich1 i don't see why this got so many thumbs downs, all he/she did was reply, to something he/she saw, and even added "splendid performance" in the beginning to make sure it is not offensive
@sliux109 Because people cannot tolerate the idea of a woman being oppressed being considered morally "wrong" to others. Always women get pushed aside, and it is ok--we can NEVER comment about how women see the reasoning behind religious motives to push women aside. I bet a lot of Jewish women don't feel they have to sit seperate from the men to "protect" them. I bet it feels downright sexist. But we can't talk about it. It might enlighten others.
@lfreundlich1 We do not subject them to the back of the synagogue, we simply sit separate from them. In some (if not most) orthodox synagogues the women sit on the sides, and the men in the middle. This is not because men are dominant, but because the idea is that the singing voice of a female might make you jealous of her husband. The law is not to oppress women, but rather to make sure men do not get jealous of their friends. Furthermore, not all synagogues have separate sitting.
@madmaxj22 And see, this is why I no longer desire to convert to Judaism as I once did. Instead of telling men to control their foul tempers and fits of childlike jealousy or testosterone fueled desires, Jewish leaders decided to tell women to cover up; women to sit apart from men; women to do this, to do that--all to avoid a man taking responsibility for his poor actions. Sadly, all religions do this, and that is why I will never take part. Subjecting them to the side = just as bad.
Just because du pre is an icon doesn't mean that any version she plays is "better" whatever "better" means at This level. Sometimes i think people say du pre's version is better on any piece because they think it makes them feel like an expert. This is a magnificent version. Period.
Peter, it is interesting to hear your explanation of the reason for this orchestra having only female musicians.
I'd also like to add that my favourite artists on piano and for most cello and violin solos and concertos are girls.There is much agreement on this view amongst my musician friends many of whom are professional concert artists.I personally find that women have an ability to interpret music from the romantic era which differs from men and it is about emotional portrayal and subtlety.
@dfretless Now this is starting to sound like reverse sexism. What would you say to a person who says that all of his favorite musical artists are male, and that women can't interpret Classical era music because they're too sentimental?
@dga471 Did you read their wording? They said "....that differs from men"
NOT is "better than men". All that person said is they find that women tend to play classical music in a way that is more suited to their ears.
Read someone's comment before making blatant assumptions,especially one about reverse sexism, you fool.
And to someone who says his favorite artists are male, that's just who suits his fancy in interpretation. But women can't interpret--that's sexist. Opinion is one thing....
@SonicTheHedgedawg Though this is an adaptation to the 2nd degree, from the Middle Age Jews to Catholic liturgy to Bruch's version, the song retains its soul. It is indeed forboding because it signals the day of repentance...and ultimately the day of judgement!
You do not live in Vienna. Especially in the 80 and 90-ies of the last century, there were women only for substitute work in the so called premium orchestras like Vienna Philharmonic and Vienna Symphonic. That was the reason why women decided to establish their own ensemble 1999: The Vienna Phiöharmonic Women´s Orchestra !
That owes much to the advent of screened auditions. But they still recommend that women not wear heeled shoes because the sound is a giveaway. So, you tell me.
@thomasodelago Traditionally women sit at the periphery of the synagogue, while men sit front and center. Moreover, singing forms a big part of the ritual, and tradionally only men may be cantors. Hence the significance of an all-woman orchestra playing what is arguably the most famous and recognizable piece of Jewish liturgical music.
Does anyone know where a sight is that I can by this entire piece for a violin solo. I have not been able to and I'm wanting to practice it for Yom Kippur.
Kol Nidrei [Artscroll Yom Kippur Machzor translation ]
All vows, prohibitions, oaths, consecrations, konam-vows, konas-vows, or equivalent terms that we may vow, swear, consecrate, or prohibit upon ourselves - [from the last Yom Kippur until this Yom Kippur, and] from this Yom Kippur until the next Yom Kippur, may it come upon us for good - regarding them all, we regret them henceforth. Our prohibitions shall not be valid prohibitions; and our oaths shall not be valid oaths.
Hi, great to listen to this vid. I knew Kol Nidrei from my grandfather who always listened it, and when he died it was played on his funeral. My mother always listened to it too, especially the time after his funeral for comfort and mourning, and when my mother died last year at the age of 66 I my world collapsed, and we played it on her funeral too. It doesn't bring my mother back, but when I miss her I play Kol Nidrei and I feel her presence and warmth again. Thanks for sharing!!!
This is absolutely beautiful. I got a chance to play this piece last year, but on viola. This piece is amazing and it's truly one of my favorite pieces of all time. When I played this, it was physically and mentally draining because this piece is so emotional and portraying that through an instrument is kind of hard. I love this piece and it is my #1 piece that I love to play.
my friends call me a panzy cause i listen music like this....but as long as this music causes my chest to sink to my stomach i'll continue to listen to it
@megatera1102 good for you...when max bruch wrote this piece it was exactly his intention...and yes I've heard it many times and it still makes my ch.......
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Other than the first notes, this music bears no resemblance to the original piece and quite truthfully, I am glad. Kol Nidrei, is a prayer that is sung and meant to evoke feelings of penitance in Jews. To have this very song played in a church is extremely inappropriate, a desecration of something very holy.
@u4ism: Kol Nidrei is, strictly speaking, not a prayer; it is a declaration. And this version of Kol Nidrei was written by Max Bruch, who was a Christian, not a Jew. He liked to incorporate Jewish inspiration into his music. This piece of music is not the same as the traditional one sung by a cantor at a synagogue on Yom Kippur. So there is no desecration going on. Please do not condemn what you do not know.
@u4ism "Other than the first notes, this music bears no resemblance to the original piece." Which original piece do you mean? The "Adagio on Hebrew Melodies for Violoncello and Orchestra" written by Max Christian Friedrich Bruch, a Protestant composer from Germany? Or the traditional prayer on which Bruch's Adagio is inspired SUNG! for maybe several centuries in the synagogue on erev Yom Kippur (the eve of Yom Kippur) by the cantor and possibly a choir A CAPPELLA .
@u4ism "Other than the first notes, this music bears no resemblance to the original piece and quite truthfully, I am glad." Which original piece do you mean? The Adagio on Hebrew Melodies for Violoncello and Orchestra written by Max Christian Friedrich Bruch, a Protestand composer from Germany?
@u4ism "To have this very song played in a church is extremely inappropriate, a desecration of something very holy." Did anyone take G-d's name in vain? Do you see lack of respect in any part of the performance? I have CDs of cantorial music for Passover and Yom Kippur. Do cantors desecrate when they record in a studio? When they practice? Do I desecrate when I play the CDs in my car? Try pride that Bruch's Adagio was inspired by a melody of our people. Music & emotional express'n: universal.
Hey Eddy, A little secret but don't go telling a lot of people ok. It's just between you and me...YouTube is not a good place to be quoting as a reference source. Secondly, I had to laugh ! "Kol Nidrei" doesn't mean "Burning Innocent People"..."Witch Trials" does., LOL. You aren't even close but continue the reseach if you really want to know. Giving you the answer would be to easy and you'd be remiss to just believe me anyway. Sholoam ...over and out !
Do you care to explain what this has to do with religion? It is a (wonderful) piece of music composed by a non Jew and based on the tune of Kol Nidrei. It is performed in a church by non Jews. Am I missing something?
I guess that you see the connection but I don't. It is a bad scene. A tear jerker that to me is not believable. If being critical of a scene in a movie with a Jewish theme means that I am missing a Jewish soul then I guess I'm missing a Jewish soul. Let's end it here. I have more important things to do..
You did not strike a nerve either raw or not. I just expressed an opinion and the raw nerve is for ppeople like you who have no limits. It is my right to express an opinion. You said what you wanted to say now leave me alone.
The composer of this piece, Max Bruch, was not Jewish. He had an interest in folk music and was told mistakenly by a non-Jew that this was a folk melody. He must have known that the melody was more than just a folk song because the piece expresses the sentiment of the prayer perfectly.
As a catholic ,our first two readings in Sunday Mass are from the old Testement sacred to my Jewish brothers and sisters, so the setting of a Jewish prayer played in Church I feel is totally natural , as for the performance by Theadore and the Orcestra it is awesome
I agree... I am Jewish, I have on more the one occasion had religious ceremonies conducted in a Church when a congregation had no Temple building or more congregants than could be accommodated for a service. I prefer us to come together to share music, spaces and ideas rather than feel alienated or foreign to each other. I was searching to hear this beautiful melody, I didn't even know it was composed by someone non-Jewish, but if anything adds significance... am happy to share this tradition
My sincerest feelings of gratitude for HR from my hometown B, who let me listen to this on cd in his cosy living room last week. It was then that I came to understand far more about you then you´ll ever tell me in words...dankjewel, het was onvergetelijk!
there is nothing wrong with kol nidrei in a church! It is just a formula said on the eve of the day of atonement to reverse all the vows made during the year! still it is an amazing piece and played beautifully!!! kol hakavod (all my respect in hebrew)!

Quite sad that some people just read "Kol Nidrei" and the first thing that comes to their mind is the Nazis. There is much more to Jewish culture which was totally intertwined with German culture. The teaching that Jewish and German are two antitheses is a Nazi-teaching if I remember correctly. Some people here seem to have subsconciously accepted that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
actually, german culture and Judaism ARE polar opposites. germans stand for the master race, murdering anybody they deem inferior, while the Jews stand for compassion, mercy, justice, truth
She does play remarkably beautifully. Even more impressively, she seems to be getting completely into the music, as if she feels the pain that Jews have been forced to experience for thousands of years. how amazing it is that this piece was composed by a 19th century german gentile. how could one country produce this, and the nazis? what a total paradox that is
She is amazing!!! I have never heard something like this Kol Nidrei in my life. New feelings and emotions were born in me and I could't push "stop" and finish listening...all day long. She plays great! I like her passionate sound and artistism! and her beauty is incredible in mix with her talent! ))) Teodora, I love You!
I agree with syren345, I much prefer listening to this version than du Pre's. We're playing this in my orchestra at the moment and I love it. Too bad i'm not a cellist =(
why would they disable embedding? the world needs to know the beauty of teadora we need her glorious majestic amazingness all over the internet to show the world what greatness really is :)
dude, she plays it BETTER than du Pre. You can feel the emotion in this one. I didnt feel any emotion when du Pre played--which was unbelievable! I was so shocked I felt cheated. Almost cracked the CD :D haha.
I duno maybe it's the acoustics that make some notes sound so out of tune. Even given the benifit of that, Jackie's intonation is definately more solid
Although (unfortunately) i rarely crave to listen to classical music, it can never be compared to modern music in the way it transfers emotions and the awe it inspires

Other than the first notes, this music bears no resemblance to the original piece and quite truthfully, I am glad. Kol Nidrei, is a prayer that is sung and meant to evoke feelings of penitance in Jews. To have this very song played in a church is extremely inappropriate, a desecration of something very holy.

@u4ism: Kol Nidrei is, strictly speaking, not a prayer; it is a declaration. And this version of Kol Nidrei was written by Max Bruch, who was a Christian, not a Jew. He liked to incorporate Jewish inspiration into his music. This piece of music is not the same as the traditional one sung by a cantor at a synagogue on Yom Kippur. So there is no desecration going on. Please do not condemn what you do not know.

@u4ism "Other than the first notes, this music bears no resemblance to the original piece." Which original piece do you mean? The "Adagio on Hebrew Melodies for Violoncello and Orchestra" written by Max Christian Friedrich Bruch, a Protestant composer from Germany? Or the traditional prayer on which Bruch's Adagio is inspired SUNG! for maybe several centuries in the synagogue on erev Yom Kippur (the eve of Yom Kippur) by the cantor and possibly a choir A CAPPELLA .

@u4ism "To have this very song played in a church is extremely inappropriate, a desecration of something very holy." Did anyone take G-d's name in vain? Do you see lack of respect in any part of the performance? I have CDs of cantorial music for Passover and Yom Kippur. Do cantors desecrate when they record in a studio? When they practice? Do I desecrate when I play the CDs in my car? Try pride that Bruch's Adagio was inspired by a melody of our people. Music & emotional express'n: universal.

Hey Eddy, A little secret but don't go telling a lot of people ok. It's just between you and me...YouTube is not a good place to be quoting as a reference source. Secondly, I had to laugh ! "Kol Nidrei" doesn't mean "Burning Innocent People"..."Witch Trials" does., LOL. You aren't even close but continue the reseach if you really want to know. Giving you the answer would be to easy and you'd be remiss to just believe me anyway. Sholoam ...over and out !

Do you care to explain what this has to do with religion? It is a (wonderful) piece of music composed by a non Jew and based on the tune of Kol Nidrei. It is performed in a church by non Jews. Am I missing something?

I guess that you see the connection but I don't. It is a bad scene. A tear jerker that to me is not believable. If being critical of a scene in a movie with a Jewish theme means that I am missing a Jewish soul then I guess I'm missing a Jewish soul. Let's end it here. I have more important things to do..

The composer of this piece, Max Bruch, was not Jewish. He had an interest in folk music and was told mistakenly by a non-Jew that this was a folk melody. He must have known that the melody was more than just a folk song because the piece expresses the sentiment of the prayer perfectly.

As a catholic ,our first two readings in Sunday Mass are from the old Testement sacred to my Jewish brothers and sisters, so the setting of a Jewish prayer played in Church I feel is totally natural , as for the performance by Theadore and the Orcestra it is awesome

I agree... I am Jewish, I have on more the one occasion had religious ceremonies conducted in a Church when a congregation had no Temple building or more congregants than could be accommodated for a service. I prefer us to come together to share music, spaces and ideas rather than feel alienated or foreign to each other. I was searching to hear this beautiful melody, I didn't even know it was composed by someone non-Jewish, but if anything adds significance... am happy to share this tradition

Quite sad that some people just read "Kol Nidrei" and the first thing that comes to their mind is the Nazis. There is much more to Jewish culture which was totally intertwined with German culture. The teaching that Jewish and German are two antitheses is a Nazi-teaching if I remember correctly. Some people here seem to have subsconciously accepted that.

actually, german culture and Judaism ARE polar opposites. germans stand for the master race, murdering anybody they deem inferior, while the Jews stand for compassion, mercy, justice, truth

She does play remarkably beautifully. Even more impressively, she seems to be getting completely into the music, as if she feels the pain that Jews have been forced to experience for thousands of years. how amazing it is that this piece was composed by a 19th century german gentile. how could one country produce this, and the nazis? what a total paradox that is
