Ive read that this piece is harder to play than the 'war horse' concertos--that no less than Perlman says this piece is a workout and difficult. Any violinist care to explain why this is from a technical point of view???
@idranoel: there comes a point where your "swing" rhythm effects the quality of the harmony and accompaniment that the orchestra must provide. Lalo has placed "bien mesure
Three years ago I was offered to play this piece, or Bruch concerto. Stupidly, I picked the other because after sight-reading, I found that Bruch's minor-esque feeling (with I believe only having like, two flats?), this piece with so many accidentals, with an orchestra that counters it perfectly, it.. it makes me regret not choosing Lalo's piece of stellar excellence.
I think Bruch's sounds more dramatic...I like it more than this one...it's darker and more passionate...Lalo's work, from a musical stand point, less deep
she uses the bow like a sword and it works a treat .BRILLIANT .and the guy talking about intonation should get his ears tested .WHO ARE YOU ,SIMON COWELL ha
I don't think she should be blamed for the lack of synchronizing. It's not necessarily the fault of the orchestra either. It just sounds like they haven't had enough rehearsals. I mean, she's wonderfully musical, and she shouldn't have to change that just to keep with the orchestra.
the background orchestra is not very impressive. they aren't together half of the time and the intonation isn't consistent. but her performance is beautiful :)
Impresionante version de Silvia Marcovici!!!!!! su sonido su expresividad son tan firmes esta obra debe tocarse con la elegancia española y asi lo hace parece que E Lalo estaria encantando ese violin .
Her tone is beautiful, but any advanced violinist knows that if you play with an orchestra, you have to have nothing less than PERFECT rythym, because you have to stay with orchestra, they cannot accomodate to you. Not hating on her rythym, but otherwise, a great performance.
umm, it's not her fault that the rhythm sounds inconsistent, it's the ORCHESTRA'S. They're just going on their own little agenda, staying exactly to the metronome - but it's the orchestra's job to follow the SOLOIST, not just the beat. When she does her rubato parts and goes slightly off the written rhythm, they don't adapt to her tempo - making the rhythm sound blatant and not musical.
It is nice to see a woman with small hands like mine playing these pieces...and moving. I've had so many teachers tell me to stay still or that something was impossible for me to learn because of my small hands. THANK YOU Silvia for proving the our critics wrong! great inspiration!!
This is one of the songs that I'm playing in my upcoming high school concert. It's really cool to listen to such a wonderful violinist and actually recognize the part. This song is just played so beautifully. I love watching how Silvia's movements are so similar to our violinist's.
I can't believe there's people here saying that her rhythm is all over the place. Have you played these piece before? and if so, at that level???? Symphonie Espagnole is based on triplets rhythm that are intended to have certain spanish flavor or "swing". Read about the subject if you are going to comment.
I'm sorry but her rhythm IS all over the place in some places - I've played the piece, and that's why I can say this. But in the places she does it and how she does it, it's not called INACCURACY, it's called RUBATO. Players are given the freedom to interpret the music differently and play what they feel is right, they don't always have to do exactly what the music says.
Oh, and just so you know, I'm agreeing with you here ;)
Is it just me that thinks the only thing consistent throughout the piece about her rhythm is that it's all over the place? Does this bother anyone else?
I think this is the piece I saw Joshua Bell play with the National Symphony Orchestra (U.S.). He and this lady are both just... breathtaking. They make me want to cut my fingers off, they're so good. *swoon*
actually she already a did a great job, because she played the song almost without any mistakes!yes, she need to express herself more on the first movement!
half way between the symphony and a violin concerto, Lalo composed this work for famous spanish violonist and composer Pablo Sarasate, who premiered it on february 7th , 1875 in Paris
wow. omg, look at the violins in the orchestra, they all look so bored. they play so boring. the music is totally great, but they just play without emotion. but the soloist is great. she played with emotion, and with talent.
The orchestra is probably bored because they're jealous of her great musical talent. JK Well, this is her solo, so they should look bored and she should look excited.
I think they are bore because they might had to repeat too longer, so it's boring. But I think this piece is so perfect, and Silvia plays with emotion.
Great rendition of Lalo's Espagnole. Great playing. I noticed Silvia has a posting of Saint-Saens VC#3, which is really excellent as well. Beside her being an excellent violinist she is very beautiful; I can't say I seen a more lovely women violinist than her.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
A rather mediocre violinist.... and scary looking hair. At least she's trying not to be boring, though. Her lack of tone colors her and stiffness in both arms hold her back. Very student-like playing.
i agree with fraggleferret that she is no where near the best violinists but she is no amatuer. Don't get me wrong, she's definitely a professional but just not as skilled as someone like heifetz or perlman in my opinion.
Well, she may not have the time that they had, You don't make much being a pro-violinist. That and she may not care or devote herself enough. She is quite great, though yes, not as great as she could be.
Bravo Silvia! Que sensibilidad y talento en la interpretación i dirección del Maestro Mandeal,tambien titular de la Orquesta de Euskadi, para mi gusto, una de las más grandes violinistas de Europa después de George Enescu. Un cordial saludo desde Barcelona. :-) Francesc
incredible... a great talent,but this is the first time i see a performance of her.i often go to concerts in Bucharest, i usually stay close to the list of concerts available here. still wondering how i didn't see her in concert till now
both of their faults. the orchestra's (wind section primarily) fault for playing out of tune and not preparing well enough, and the conductor's fault for not pointing it out. however, if the conductor DID point it out but the orchestra still refused to fix it for whatever reason... then it's the orchestra's fault.
Haha, I've played in enough bands and orchestras. The trumpet players who started in bands and then moved to orchestras are terrible for that. They wail like it's jazz. -___-
She's really making it her own and thats what makes it good ! Her playing is wonderful.. I'm actually learning this piece and i don't know if watching this video gives me confidence or discourages me.. :P
pretty darn good. she has improved tremendously and is elevating closer to the top level for younger generation violinists. Not in Kogan Heifetz or OIstrakh's league yet.
Her musical temperament is one of TWO, or even 3 men together. Where have you been hiding dear Lady for so many years? She burns "life oil" with immense flames showing us what an artist should be like! Your sound is so rich and well tuned , doubled with great character. It is so unique, so fascinating and admirable.
If she can sound like that I don't care if she stood on her head. It obviously works for her anyways, she does it in all of the videos on here, it's part of her technique.
Like I said, it obviously works for her. If it was hurting her she probably wouldn't be doing it that way (Unless she was just an idiot). But I don't like to think of people (especially not artists who know their craft) as total idiots when it comes to their bodies and their art.
Nice! every note is played perfectly. i love how she used every inch of her bow. none of the bowing was wasted. she was so into the music that the movement was quite inspiring. it looked extremely professional. XD wanna play this song someday..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Our Symphony is playing this tommrow night, Gotta say it is one of my most favorite peices of all time! but this lady... she is like a frog on stage, somone stop her from jumping around and lookin like a goof.
She lives with the musik. May be she is on the violine not so excelent as Jaqueline Du Pre on the chello was (she jumped as well and looked goofy), but let she move. She isn't a statue in a cemetery, she is a living musican.
I stayed in a master class that she did in Seville and this class was very interesting really, 'cause she is a great violin player and she has a strong character too. She is a really very good violin player. She teach in San Sebastian conservatoire normally here in Spain too
This is not simply an opinion stated because I am Romanian ,but a reality.I have seen a few comments regarding the fact that she is Romanian ,and this is why I needed to add these words.Thank you for posting this!It is a blessing to have access to videos like this one!
Watching her makes me proud to be a Romanian!The piece is wonderful ,it is one of Lalo's most famous works.Her passion ,her personality ,makes this interpretation of the concerto great!It is so much fire...!I feel I need to add a few words here: Romanian people have given to the world great musicians ,poets ,writers ,intelligent, talented,and valuable people who ,for one reason or another ,are not known by the world.There are more like her,Romanians,as the music schools we have are powerful.
The main problem with the Bucaresti philharmonic is that they don't notice little things, which makes them appear to sound amateur. They have some great players, and not the best as well, but they don't notice intonation within sections and through players ie the horn and clarinet in the Romanian rhapsody recordings that I have. They just need to polish some things and issues that hinder the overall quality of their performances.
She's performing this with music? I mean obviously she's not for most of the performance but at 5 minutes she turns a page? o_O But yes, beautiful performance. I always really enjoy seeing Silvia Marcovici play. The lalo is so exciting. Thanks for posting =)
The soloist is very good, only I feel bad because the orchestra's accompaniment is really bad. It's so out of tune and can't fallow her tempo. The conductor... I don't really know what he's conducting. Hahaha
Haha she's like "I paid for this while bow so ima use ALL of it" and then some!

Nice! every note is played perfectly. i love how she used every inch of her bow. none of the bowing was wasted. she was so into the music that the movement was quite inspiring. it looked extremely professional. XD wanna play this song someday..

She doesn't move so much that i'd describe her as being a frog... [:
actually, I thought she didn't move much at all

if you call this jumping around, then you obviously dont watch many violinists perform.

She lives with the musik. May be she is on the violine not so excelent as Jaqueline Du Pre on the chello was (she jumped as well and looked goofy), but let she move. She isn't a statue in a cemetery, she is a living musican.

I stayed in a master class that she did in Seville and this class was very interesting really, 'cause she is a great violin player and she has a strong character too. She is a really very good violin player. She teach in San Sebastian conservatoire normally here in Spain too

This is not simply an opinion stated because I am Romanian ,but a reality.I have seen a few comments regarding the fact that she is Romanian ,and this is why I needed to add these words.Thank you for posting this!It is a blessing to have access to videos like this one!

I didn't know she was Romanian. I thought she was Italian. hmmm...interesting.

Watching her makes me proud to be a Romanian!The piece is wonderful ,it is one of Lalo's most famous works.Her passion ,her personality ,makes this interpretation of the concerto great!It is so much fire...!I feel I need to add a few words here: Romanian people have given to the world great musicians ,poets ,writers ,intelligent, talented,and valuable people who ,for one reason or another ,are not known by the world.There are more like her,Romanians,as the music schools we have are powerful.

it's very enjoying to play this symphony.. i'll do it in june
hte violonist play good, but she rushs a little bit, no?
the worse is the orchestra.. there is too many horns and clarinets... it's for violin and orchestra, not for harmonic orchestra.....
but, great performance! even if she's not so good as Anne-Sophie Mutter, who plays the best for me...

The main problem with the Bucaresti philharmonic is that they don't notice little things, which makes them appear to sound amateur. They have some great players, and not the best as well, but they don't notice intonation within sections and through players ie the horn and clarinet in the Romanian rhapsody recordings that I have. They just need to polish some things and issues that hinder the overall quality of their performances.

She's performing this with music? I mean obviously she's not for most of the performance but at 5 minutes she turns a page? o_O But yes, beautiful performance. I always really enjoy seeing Silvia Marcovici play. The lalo is so exciting. Thanks for posting =)

The soloist is very good, only I feel bad because the orchestra's accompaniment is really bad. It's so out of tune and can't fallow her tempo. The conductor... I don't really know what he's conducting. Hahaha
