She's hawt! I don't know why everybody on youtube gets so picky about "Feeling her Libretto" or something like that. Its not like she'd really give it up to one of you guys ;)
I heard all of them, including the one here by Wei Wen, whose uncle taught her violin when she was a kid, and that this concerto was also that uncle's most favorite piece, and guess what, he committed suicide as well. Vengerov is no doubt one of the best out there, but Ferras indeed nailed this one the way it should be.
Yes. Quite good. Enjoyed this performance thoroughly - but I sympathize with some of the criticism; a bit hard to miss the errors if you know this piece. Then again - what the hell do I know. I'm just a lowly tuba player.
Love her power!!! Gosh my teacher always says me to calm down when i play like she did, now i see it's possible to have so much fire as her and be excelent!
I like it, I have heard every recording I could gather...since 1961..I favor the Heiftez, Oistrakh.......any musician that can give these notes life is a gift....
well in my personal opinion...while watching it I couldn't stop thinking that....this movement is kind of beyond her power and abiltiy.... =( but she played it very passionately =)
you guys...you cant always have a performance that's 100% perfect. okay, it's about the overall performance...so dont hate the entire thing just cuz she missed a few notes. gosh.
This is serious good music! Passionate, dynamic, in tune and don't forget this Sibelius. Ugly difficult, at times kakafonic and even unharmonic, not a first choice of many musicians. Sibelius? Masterclass for toptalent.
@zzp1 Yes. So many people fail to understand the point of his compositions. This piece is supposed to sound this way. Aggressive, raunchy, uncomfortable. Crass and ugly. Too bad some people have trapped themselves in their own personal atmospheres that block out valuable paradigm shifts.
I disagree with Vesters1, her phrasing is better than Hahn's. Her dynamics are impeccable, and her tempo is right on target with the orchestra. This is a brilliant violinist!
lol stop arguing you no-lifers... Who spends their time playing violin everyday?
Personally I can't tell shit about sound, she looks like she is giving her best effort and thats what really matters. I am sure that there are people that are better than all of you guys combined togeather, so GTFO with that bullshit...
You can have critique on something you don't master yourself for different reasons, like when you heard the piece, played by someone else... then you can compare... So why do some even bother to ask if one can play the piece better? it does not matter :P
THis is a commendable performance to me - Ive got the nigel kennedy recording of this, and I think this version is more melodic than his, I cant criticise it, its certainly not the worst Ive heard, and I enjoyed it...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
it doesn't even look like she is playing it. If you look at her bowings and listen to the music. it just doesn't match up. the orchestra is doing great but it is just the solo violinists!
i do not like how she expresses it, she misses notes, and gets off sometimes on the tempo, it is not the best recording, but she gave it a good go, it being such a difficult piece
first time ive heard this piece, and its just transported me to where the music takes you. Sibilius is just magnificent. mind blowing ,wonderful music . I rather like the interpretation of the young lady. if your up their with the best ,then an audiences taste is always going to cause conflict ,as one likes the other more etc. and in the end every one is right because its your opinion. as individuals your opinion is right for you and me and mine i right for me and you!
In my book, Nigel Kennedys version is the best - and the best classic music performance I know of all I heard. But this is one is very good, she is struggling to getting it right, and there are notes not being hit perfect here and there. But she is very much on the track, as to how this one is handled and played optimally.
Look guys, I didn't mean to spark so much trouble, but have you even listened to Oistrakh play this piece? His tone quality is the best I have ever heard.
I have played the violin for 11 years, I have had master classes with Dusi Mura. She is a life long friend to our family. The Franz Liszt academy in Budapest took an entire day out to honor her. If you don't listen to me, listed to her.
This violinist is obviously very good, but she isn't the best, and why not listen to the best.
no one said shes the best...its obvious oistrakh is better. but that doesnt mean we cant listen to anyone other than the "best" violinists. no one cares about ur personal violin experience. ur not the best. who gives a damn about u since we should only listen to the best.
I never play violin also can not read music sheet. But i do have good ears and heart. D. Oistrakh did not perfectly play sibelius violin concerto. And i don't think it was a good performance. And he's not the best. In youtube i know one performer that always play perfect. Goto Midori.
I don't believe there is a single best violinist, because everyone is different, however, Oistrakh is one of the most respected violinists who has ever lived. He was called a King of Violinists.
He recording of the Sibelius was pretty good in my opinion, however, you are right, it is not the best.
When Midori was young and made her Carnegie hall debut she was quite amazing. She has since fallen off. Check out James Ehnes, Christian Tetzlaff, Jeila Josefowicz.
Too many people on youtube think they are classical music experts/violin prodigies. To those who complain about her 'missed notes' or 'improper tone' or whatever - let's see you do better. She's playing with the professional orchestra; you're not. There's a reason for that. The woman plays the violin marvelously and while you might like "this person's" or "that person's" interpretation better - give credit where credit is due.
@lucretius1 Where there are those who stand out, there will be detractors. Don't denegrate them for what they do for it is their only solace in this world.
@lucretius1 and she is not only in a professional symphony. She is the featured soloist! Respect man!!! You can see the other violinists hating on her skills on 2:21 They are all thinking "I wanted that solo!!!!!" haha I thought that she was amazing and very beautiful. GOod job :)
@lucretius1 Unfortunately, some constructive criticism could be given, seeing as she does indeed miss notes...mostly early on. I don't pretend to be able to play better than her, but I know what I hear, and I have the right to criticize it. The reason I haven't is because she's not likely going to read this anyways. My criticism is not meant for anyone else.
@lucretius1 Exactly. Nothing but failed musicians taking cheap shots at the performances of successful people. BTW, I'd hate to live in a world where every composition was played mechanically the exact same way each time!!
A diferença entre os vionistas europeus e os demais é justamene alma que, muitas vezes, lhes falta. Aqui se toca co alma, o espírito, não uma execução mecanica como vemos em muitos europeus. Sem preconceito.
Yeah, she had too many wrong notes....but I think it wouldn't be fair to say that "Europeans" play it etter. Are you some kinda white supremist? I am afraid to ask what you mean by that comment.
you moron, its not liek europeans are born better violinists, its influence and hard practice. If your goign to say something so stupid dont even bother
This performance doesnt convince me at all. I feel that she has a hard time playing it, her lightly irregular rhythm seems to me due to the difficulties of the piece. I was also irritated by her bouncing around.
Yes, in fact, her outer appearance should not play a role. Cover the monitor and just listen. I thus disliked her play.
I know i will get ridiculed for this but i really hate sibelius. Its all over the place. To me its like a paganini throw away piece. Just crap as far as i am concerned. I await your seething e mails.
The Sibelius piece is not 'crap'. It has enough variation, nuance, and melodic substance to make it an interesting adventure for the listener. It is not written to please one particular individual.
at grbtruck: I understand everyone has their own opinions but this piece is far more dimensional than a paganini concerto. Have you ever heard Sibelius's 2nd Symphony?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
... it needs - FOR ME - some roots, a deep inner, emotional connection to the music we play... and so i will never play Gypsy music as the Gypsies do, and so won't an Asian play Sibelius as it was first meant to be. :) I think. :)
great performance, but i feel it is lacking in understanding and overall shape. the music has many moods, and i don't think she portrays them well enough.
shirusu, it is talent, practice, discipline and passion. It seems like Asians take over Western music on a very inspiring way. Check Sarah Chang, Midori Goto,yoyo Ma,Ha Na Chang, Chang Chin Shan, Aimi Kobayashi, George Li, Yuia Wang and many others, if not convinced yet. But music is very international, as any artform. There are no borders among artists. We are all one: humans, who like to accomplish great things.
Yes, sure... Although: "talent, practice, discipline and passion" - you see, understanding still missing. There will be no second Oistrakh or Heifetz. The competitions nowadays are all about accuracy, and so Asians might rock... I am not against them or anything, adore my asian colleagues-musicians actually :) but... still, to make a TRUE, outstanding player,

gosh this looks so cool and it sounds so wonderful too!!!! very good!! keep up the greatness!!!! also is it just me or they are playing it so fast that it looks like they are fast fast forwarding it ha!!!! great job!!!
Not such a big fan of this performance. She misses/muffles runs and her intonation is a bit hit and miss in places. Dont get me wrong - she's still a fine player, but when compared to 'the best there is' this performance comes up a little short, in my opinion.
Very beautiful and clean performance. I really enjoyed the power in a lot of the passages, that's what a lot of this mvt is about but it almost seemed like too much power . . . not in any place but throughout. In other words, it would have been even better if there were a few lighter, more quitely urgent parts rather than loud urgent the whole time. Still, a great performance
Extremely well done. The conductor restrains the orchestra to allow the solo violin its proper voice and colour, and when the Sibelius score calls for full sonic texture, as at 03.44, the conductor knows when to release the valve. Beautiful stuff and a delight to watch. Thanks for putting it up.
very beautiful!! Like!! C:

... it needs - FOR ME - some roots, a deep inner, emotional connection to the music we play... and so i will never play Gypsy music as the Gypsies do, and so won't an Asian play Sibelius as it was first meant to be. :) I think. :)

great performance, but i feel it is lacking in understanding and overall shape. the music has many moods, and i don't think she portrays them well enough.

shirusu, it is talent, practice, discipline and passion. It seems like Asians take over Western music on a very inspiring way. Check Sarah Chang, Midori Goto,yoyo Ma,Ha Na Chang, Chang Chin Shan, Aimi Kobayashi, George Li, Yuia Wang and many others, if not convinced yet. But music is very international, as any artform. There are no borders among artists. We are all one: humans, who like to accomplish great things.

Yes, sure... Although: "talent, practice, discipline and passion" - you see, understanding still missing. There will be no second Oistrakh or Heifetz. The competitions nowadays are all about accuracy, and so Asians might rock... I am not against them or anything, adore my asian colleagues-musicians actually :) but... still, to make a TRUE, outstanding player,

kinda crashes through the arpeggios and slides through the 32nd runs at the start.
intonation is sloppy too, throughout.
Really nice recording tho.

Not such a big fan of this performance. She misses/muffles runs and her intonation is a bit hit and miss in places. Dont get me wrong - she's still a fine player, but when compared to 'the best there is' this performance comes up a little short, in my opinion.

She does struggle, with thin tone, missing notesa, sliding to cover absent note, poor thing.
It's being played at a funereal pace too, perhaps so she can manmage it.

Very beautiful and clean performance. I really enjoyed the power in a lot of the passages, that's what a lot of this mvt is about but it almost seemed like too much power . . . not in any place but throughout. In other words, it would have been even better if there were a few lighter, more quitely urgent parts rather than loud urgent the whole time. Still, a great performance
tcornellvln 3 years ago
Extremely well done. The conductor restrains the orchestra to allow the solo violin its proper voice and colour, and when the Sibelius score calls for full sonic texture, as at 03.44, the conductor knows when to release the valve. Beautiful stuff and a delight to watch. Thanks for putting it up.
