A.Suwanai plays Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto (1st Mov 1of2)

[xaviervandepoll]

Is that the Dolphin violin?

[Astro9777]

@xaviervandepoll No,she had gotten the strad 10 years later.

[linyangyoung25]

@xaviervandepoll no it isn't



[ofuma]

Bello, excellent video

Heifetz's violin . 7:16 HORRIBLE

[kuvhlubkojibleegxwbo]

Great....but the beginning is a bit slow......

[xDSlimz]

@kuvhlubkojibleegxwbo shut up

[cutiefreaks]

can anyone tell me where i can get the violin music sheets?

[lolturtle13]

@cutiefreaks Google IMSLP. That's where I got it from. If you can't find it I can just email it to you.

[xXxXTravisBickleXxXx]

So my hat of to this director!

.

Is there a website where i can see this anual Tchaikovsky Competition?

The complete thing live stream or on demand!?!?!?

.

I love this but i can't find any reference to this at all... anyone???

.

Any help would be very nice!!

[xXxXTravisBickleXxXx]

She is just as perfect as in her winning performance of Paganini...

.

But this director seems to have better control of his orchestra then the one she had in that previous performance ,this seems to be a more coherent orchestra...

[hilaryhahnisthebest]

GO AKIKO!!!!!

She is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jkgou1]

she bring life to Stradvarius 

[NachoVillanueva1965]

Oigo a Mayuko Kamio y a Suwanai, y dede luego menua diferencia. Con Akiko se me ponen los pelos de punta, a Kamio le falta algo, no se que es......

[mariiotta95]

Imposible no emocionarse al oír esta obra tan perfecta y sublime

[xbasket12x]

This women plays on Heifetz's Dolphin Stradvarius of 1714. Its fucking expensive. And she is fucking lucky.

[datibbaW]

@xbasket12x well she's not playing on it here yet ;-)

[onguy3n]

Sublime.

[The00ching00]

BRAVO!!!!!!!

[Manofxrunner]

this is a Tchaikovsky Competition and she isnt playing the true concerto? She plays so well why did she not just play the original? I just would imagine at a Tchaikovsky competition you would play.... well.... Tchaikovsky.. not someones version. She does play beautifully tho.

[leopoison69]

AMAZING!!!!

[ch3rub1n0]

so good

[J0RSG]

she is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

[claudio68681]

I'm sure: she's an angel

[no1knowledge]

Yes Lovely Artist, great sound ,lovely performance of perhaps the greatest and most perfectly beautiful Violin Concerto of all time

[cutiekatiewhs]

its not a 14 page piece. It;s 32 pages. The first movement alone is 20.

[hilltop4517]

She is one of Japan's very talented violinists.Every note was played right.By now

she has become more skilled musician.

[kwastormayt]

she plays some parts magical

[mannycabrito]

aw. no way. definitely in my opinion one of the worst performances of this wonderful concerto ever.

[lflarry1]

@mannycabrito Manny.... That's a bit harsh isn't it. I'm not saying that you're not entitled to your opinion.....But"One of the worst?" sorry u feel that way:O

[mannycabrito]

@lflarry1 haha. yeah, im sorry, the interpretation is just that bad, in my opinion.

[piontro]

@mannycabrito cabrito es Mariconcito, pero en fin you seem to be an ignorant about music, I might be wrong or probably just envious of a real girl.

[mannycabrito]

@piontro hahaha. ignorant about music? mi maestro de violin estudio con gerard poulet, y gerard poulet tomo clases de menhuin, szeryng, francescatti, y otros, y me llamas ignorante de musica?

[MariaFraguas]

@mannycabrito I would like the link of the one on youtube which you think is the best... :)

[mannycabrito]

@MariaFraguas

the hiefetz one from the movie carnegie hall. thats the best tchaik.

[MariaFraguas]

@mannycabrito Now I can hear a big difference. Especially in bits like 3.50 it becomes obvious... Heifetz is so clean. I enjoyed the one from the movie Le Concert... I don't know who played it though.. The atmosphere was amazing though.

[mannycabrito]

@MariaFraguas yes, i really enjoy his rendition. he doesnt play it slow, but all the emotion is there even at the tempo. also, his sound and runs are very very clear. her phrasing is based on the dificulty of the passage. she "slows down on the hard parts" how convenient.

[moodood1]

@piontro Tell me - What the fuck is the point of writing only part of your message in English? Come off it you pretentious fuck.

[lovemetu]

@mannycabrito

Yes it was that bad that at the mere age of 18 this young gifted lady won the Tchaikovsky prize in 1990.

So perhaps if you think you are such a fine judge and expert ,then you must obviously be a virtuoso violin player yourself ,so come on ,dont be shy show us all some videos of yourself playing and show us all how it should be done !!

[marioenbruselas]

@mannycabrito

the fact that your teacher was a good violin player, does not make you a good musicien.

This performance along with Oistrakh are my favorites. Flawless and great sound. And every note is there.

If you think this is one of the worse performances, then you have nothing to do in music. Dont quit your day job!

[mannycabrito]

@marioenbruselas

haha. well if thats your opinion you are very ignorant. music comes down to personal taste, and personal intepretation. and a good teacher also teaches musicianship, in case youve never taken lessons. but its ok, i guess beginners like you also have the right to their own opinion.

[marioenbruselas]

@mannycabrito

the more you write, the more you make a fool of yourself he he

[marioenbruselas]

@mannycabrito

musicienship? you? you may like or not a player, but write "this is one of the worse" ( as you did) is insulting to this player, so where is your musicienship? LOL

and by the way, where are your videos playing better? since Suwanai is one of the worse ( as you wrote), I guess you can do it better.

So arrogant, common, show them to the world...

ok, let me guess: you will never be able to play this, and your frustration makes you insult people who really can do it...... sad....

[mannycabrito]

@marioenbruselas 1- learn how to spell musicianship, or youll make a "fool of yourself"

2- and it may be insulting to the player, not to you, and my musicianship is present in my appreciation and judging of the piece.

3- i am saying i dont like it. when i say this, i refer not to the technical skills, but the phrasing.

4- i dont see any videos of you either, so by your standards you also dont have the right to argue.

5- i am going to music performance, so i will be able to play this. unlike you

[MrAMIBOOM]

I love u Akiko Suwanai since I heard u I can't stop thinking of u........

[jayadsilva67]

Ahhh Akiko san, wonderful, wonderful.

[hedgehogsofdoomz]

I love it!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD JOB!! :D

[Mimicigale]

Je recherchais l'interprète du concerto dans le film " Le concert" , Sarah Nemtanu,qui a un toucher absolument

incomparable ,je ne l'ai pas trouvée ,je suis déçue car la petite est bien mignone et bonne interprète mais rien à voir avec le concerto du film . Dommage ...............

[jayadsilva67]

Ahhh, Suwanai San. How nicely you play!

[gibsonpaddy]

Was this Heifetz's fiddle..????

[operamark1]

It sounds like it. She now plays the Delfino (Dolphin) Strad, which Heifetz formerly owned, courtesy of the current owner, a Japanese bank. I don't know when she acquired the use of it, but this sounds like the Delfino, based on my listening to commercials recordings where it is noted that is what she is playing.

[mannycabrito]

haha. she has good technique, but like most other asian violinists, i cant feel the passion and emotion. dynamics are there, but its hard to explain, it doesnt fulfill my expectations. heifets is the master of this concerto. oistrakh close second.

[brendanwynn]

@mannycabrito

hmm, listen closer.

[gibsonpaddy]

There is no 2nd to Heifetz

[lflarry1]

@mannycabrito Concidering the circumstances Akiko did fantastic.

Competitions are pure hell and can make even a stone statue nervous.

Hardly any practice time, strange surroundings, hostility just to name a few. She's what ,like 18 years old here?

That girl is awesome. Better technique, not that it's bad now,  will come in time with a player of this caliper. And has!

[yellotheemcee]

@lflarry1 i may be wrong, but i think this is the concert you give after you win, personally i'd feel very relaxed for thsi concert...

[lflarry1]

@yellotheemcee Yes you're right. But remember you still have to measure up to the task. It's nerve racking believe me. Just as much as a test of nerves of steel as musical talent. Once you start playing you're usually all right though :)

[Mnacuspia004]

agree. but not about heifetz`s interpretation.

[Milky111wtf]

Hmmm... the section starting at 7:00 seemed a bit out of tune.

[pyeon]

What an incredible violin player she is!

[NodameSpecial]

Omg is so beautiful

[darkSilenceVoice]

I'm extremely grateful, I have always wanted to play the the violin like this..

[MrPongsatorn]

you are my idol

[yellotheemcee]

it seems the quality of orchestras in this competition is going down cuz i just watched kamio's prize winning performance and the orchestra was no where near this good

[SimonSpieltKlavier]

7:41 - 8:15 --> genius

[infernite1]

...worst place for a video cutoff...ever.

[mr00aznkid]

haha agreed but nonetheless a great performance...right before that cadence too :(

[goodchessactor]

You are so right. I was playing conductor and just as I came down with a hard right to bring in the whole orchestra the music stopped! It ruined my conducting career.

[iShad0wRU]

9:00 - nice!!

[naslam]

She's good. But she can't play with orchestra. Am I the only one who hears how she's always ahead?

[organist99x]

Its not that she can't play with the orchestra, the orchestra can't play with her. The soloist in this fantastic piece is the most important part, and everyone else must follow her (including the conductor, who might not have kept the orchestra together with the soloist),

[starbanana]

Isn't the syncopated timing part of the piece?

[hefestovictor]

I guess you can do it better. Siempre he pensado que antes de criticar, se deben de demostrar como se hacen las cosas, así que supongo que pronto habrá un video tuyo con una versión mejor de este concierto. Ponte a estudiar mucho.

[Oliviyanikolai]

subarashii,ganbarimashita desu nee.

[Guenevere25]

Nagyon nagy tehetség ez a leàny. Ezt nem lehet megtanulni, ez egy talent. A negativ megjegyzések irigységböl fakadnak.

[rito10617]

Japanese, by the way

[mees04101993]

chinese... again...

[OGwebmaster]

She's a very talented artist...

[ButterflyAlleyCat]

@OGwebmaster Artiste with an E, right?

[OGwebmaster]

@ButterflyAlleyCat : You'd be right about that, but you could paraphrase it as "musical artist" ;)

[hotemogirl126]

play some thing evil

[suicideboy57]

much better than the first rendition i heard. excellent stuff

[Keette]

Power pinky on that left hand!!

[BugsWisely]

i violin playing is top notch. the camera work sucks and so does the idiot that deleted the last comment and left the response.

[Psych0usagi]

That's a stereotype I don't agree with. Musicality is more important and asians do take high regard of it as well.

[vlhere]

what a talnted girl...her face looks soo innocent and sincere...hehehehehe

[Gozaburo1]

I would say its more of a concentrated face...

[DrunkenCellist]

Awesome...the only thing is it cuts off at one of the most exciting parts haha

[larsstars]

Indeed... right at a climax -.-

[hartistry]

Wow!  Enjoyed very much.

[2nd2nun2]

my favorite interpretation :)

[cloudblade70]

One of my favorite renditions.

[Sheogorath2008]

Tchaikovsky rules

[Sheogorath2008]

Tchaikovsky

[ouggnoy]

I just had an orgasm.

jk. she's brilliant

[JanForest]

beautiful performance! The conductor seems a bit lazy to move his arms:)

[tyltyl123123]

bbbbbbbb

[saintanne23]

Splendid performance by a beautiful young woman.

[dktno1ofall]

she is a prodigy

every single note was right and the volume was right too

it is amazing how she memorized a 14 paged violin piece!

[Sinfoniette]

But let me talk a little Heifetz. He once said that child prodigy is a disease. And yes, I suppose. About 2 out of a hundred prodigies actually survived in society...

That having said, she plays this beautifully.

[iamemod]

HOHOHO

you forgot the 2nd and 3rd movements. that's around 30 pages, but the hardest part is actually playing it, not memorizing it. :P

[marioenbruselas]

@dktno1ofall

well, my violin score have 32 pages, i dont know which edition you have, but 14 pages .....

[patladjanko]

@dktno1ofall Sometimes it's not all about the right notes. The feeling was missing a bit

[sourmaxxi]

it was okay, i didnt comprehend many of her "phrasing" attempts...they seemed a tad random

[kibs342]

haha. pretentious much?

[DRAGOS413]

Splendid execution.

I play violin for ten years but cant

reach 1/2 of this girls performance

Nativ talent but also very,very hard

work,hundreds of repetitions for

such a performance!

[dmelkumo]

she is quite ugly but plays ok

[vhfuong]

i dont think shes ugly, Conversely :), too pretty and full of talent

[mlman208]

lol

[thesacrament77]

how is she ugly?

[wykowski]

not to mention she's cute

[hannaremnant]

I wish we could hear the great Bach and Beethoven, but when violoinists dedicate themselves to this craft to achieve that ideal, I think we are hearing the great composers just as they were way back when.

[queenievenus]

This beautiful piece of music is played exquisitely by this young girl.

[chuckz92]

she has a really long pinkie.

[dreamallow]

AWESOME.

[lakifre]

To hoofbags : I've played six years violin from 7 years old,I gave uo 'cause it was to much pressure... and I just want to say "you're damn right mate"

[Beethovens7th]

Glorious.

[concerto35]

This is a fantastic rendition. One of the best on youtube technically and artistically.

[thesacrament77]

beautiful

[shirusubemonaku]

she can play so well cuz she eats sushi everyday

[GusMagnusO]

hahaha!

[hannaremnant]

Do you have somethign against the Asian community? Really, it is a concern for me because so many people really don't feel that they can relate to Asians, which is valid, except when you then just say stereotyping things (it's not funny;)

[yellotheemcee]

crazy girl...

[hoofbags]

People of that level of virtuosity sleep, eat, shit and play their instument: nothing else! Classical music always sounds better when it is audio compressed.

[TheMysteryFlutist]

Not true. I saw Akiko passed out in my friend's dorm room. So much for ur little theory.

[OriginalMoonbeam]

generally young people who work this hard; this seriously are too mature and too busy to "party" so I doubt the validity of your statement..however if she does have the talent and time to do both..GOOD FOR HER!

[nurulpss]

I am left speechless.

[goodchessactor]

Chubby girls can play the violin too! see 8:37...

[pinkfloyddwc]

odd observation

[vinceray]

What about that one out of tune note at 6:36! For Shame! Hehe, j/k

[goodchessactor]

Was it Arthur Rubinstein that said he could play another concerto with just the wrong notes he played in one?

[whitsoxrule]

she's good in interval calculus

[takhirviolinest]

no it is to not clean sound

[kt625317]

A great performance by such a talented young Japanese lady. Bravo.

[xiaoaisam85]

hi hi any kind hearted soul can tell me what is the name of the music they play?

[mukkeer]

Tchaikovsy Violin Concerto. It is named above.

Probably the most exquisite and intense peace of music ever written.

[thesterlingtaste]

Her playing is very mechanical. Sorry....

[win081]

Sorry, I don't want to accuse anyone ignorant.

In the video clip above, Akiko walked away the first prize.

Do you recognize what was the competition in the video clip above? Where was you when you was 18 year old?

That's the beauty of YouTube, anyone can make comment, including these retarded idiots.

[thesterlingtaste]

Winning first prize does not necessarily mean she is the best; it only means she made the least number of mistakes. And I stand by my comment that her playing is mechanical, kind of like a computer playing the composition.

[win081]

As I said, that's the good or bad thing on the YouTube. Anyone can make comment, including these retarded idiots who thinks he knows more than the jury of the most prestigious classical music competitions.

Of couse, he can stand by what he said. Do you care the opinion from a retarded idiot?! LOL!

[win081]

"mechanical"? Do you understanbd what is "mechanical" playing? LOL!

[win081]

Please! please don't tell me you even don't know who is Tchaikovsky!

"mechanical" playing?!

What a joke! LOL!

[thesterlingtaste]

I know Tchaikovsky; I am very familiar with his compositions and even his personal life (he was gay - a homosexual!). And I do know what 'mechanical playing' means - just listen to Akiko Suwanai's playing several times and you'll know exactly how mechanical playing sounds like!! But take comfort: there are worse violinists than Akiko; she is not the worst violinist I have heard play.

[Frozenyak]

win081, music is a rhetoric art, its completely ineffable and exists separately and differently in each individuals mind. when recreating a piece you can only judge a musician by the amount of mistakes he or she makes. he/she may play the piece most accurately, but if someone finds it stale and mechanical, no one, not even the "judges of the most prestigious classical music competition" can argue against it because talking about music is like dancing about architecture. music is ethereal.

[win081]

kiddo, why don't you go back to your hamburger burning. You don't know what you are talking about!

[jepdez]

'unsufferable ignoramus' would be an apt description of you my friend!

[mr00aznkid]

I also think that music is subjective and people have their own opinions, whether it's emotionless or not.

[pancakeman357]

Word.

[dxhaloxc]

i believe you mean heifetz

[rachmaninov1873]

what a pretty girl!

[illusionist09]

my favourite version of tchaikovsky!!!!!!! i love this SOOOO MUCH!!!

[yousuke5300]

毎日聴いてしまう

最高に上手い

何度聞いても飽きない

[ganjer63]

Me too. I cannot stop listnning this everyday. Really fantasticly performed.

[shloomper]

fabulous!

[kizzoVids]

This is my favorite song played by my favorite violinist. I LOVE YOU SUWANAI!

[TheOriginalEntz]

I was surprised by her. I was not expecting such a performance. BRAVO!

[cynthiarocks9]

ya vengo shinichi me conectare en un minuto

[janicesoprano]

Bravo, so exquisite! The master, Tchaikovsky is smiling down on her!

[irenicflutist]

I wish that she wouldn't put so much vibrato on the unaccented notes in the appoggiaturas! I don't know, I'm a flutist. I think all violin players do that way to much! Anyone agree? Disagree?
