Renaud Capucon plays Bach violin concerto at the 2008 Verbier Festival

[mikesmith007x]

This is as perfect a Bach interpretation that I have heard, only in my opinion of course. The soloist, conductor and orchestra, all perfect. All the players involved disappear and I can feel the emotion Bach wrote as if he were singing it himself. That is imo the goal and they have accomplished it and then some!

[Jade999333]

I just saw this guy Sunday at the San Francisco Symphony. He was amazing, it brought me to tears.

[assa123assa123]

I can't put it to right words, but it's just not Bach. it's not soulful and intimate. more like a brave marching band

Dear magicviloin1991

I never said it is easy to play J.S Bach. I do believe his musics are not only the most deramatic but also the most defficult ones to play. However even if you are not gifted enough to play it as Bach ment it to be heard (( and I don't think there are many who can say they do, if any )) still even the sound of a simpler version makes you wonder and and in the teeth of its beauty shudder.

this was a reply to your answer ((to my 2-monthes-old comment))

thanks

j'ai eu un immense plaisir à voir jouer RENAUD CAPUCON à la salle PLEYEL à PARIS en 2009. Je le retrouve ici avec autant de virtuosité. Un vrai bonheur. <3

inspiring!

ispiring

[hogsprinc]

even if a monkey palys J.S Bach, looks like an angel. it doesn't matter how he plays as long az the music is this good, I love it. Bach is one of the best gifts nature had given us.

[magicviolin1991]

@hogsprinc

you really think, that bach is so simple? just play it and it will be beautiful? xDD you´re very naive!! xDD look at all international violin competitions, 1.round: bach............there is a reason for that:

to play bach interesting and beautiful, to "speak" through his music is one of the most difficult task for violinist (me including^^)

[SS29365]

@magicviolin1991 i think what hogsprinc is trying to say is that bach's music is that good and sublime that even the progression of the notes themselves ring out like church bells

[robynsalain]

joie et bonheur sans limites !

[gvvt]

He NEVER stops singing - no matter what he's playing. One of the most thoroughly musical performers I've ever heard.

[robynsalain]

A quand tous les concertos de bach par capucon ?

[CharlePhilippeLafont]

@robynsalain Je me pose la même question... Capuçon devrait (faire) sortir plus d'enregistrements de son répertoire

[larayang1]

Thank you for uploading! Who is the conductor, may I ask?

[Kattousso]

He's too much moving up and down, we never see yehudi menhuin or Isthak Stern or Hilary Hann or Anne sophie Mutter Or david Oistrakh playing this way, It's a show and not violin.watching gives a headache.

[CharlePhilippeLafont]

@Kattousso The music is perfect and the musician too. Who cares ?

[fluterampal]

Absolutement sublime!!!

[violatione]

The concert master is Kaspar Weiss from the red violin!!!! and the second chair cello is his big brother Stephen Koncz!

[iamemod]

no. way. i recognized kasper weiss. sooo many years passed

[jkai0025]

gorgeous!

[loup07]

esto aburre a las chicas

[volk410]

Only the ones who have no appreciation for great music.

[tednudgee]

whats the name of this song THX a lot

[volk410]

tednudgee, this is the third movement from the violin concerto in A minor by Johann Sebastian Bach, BWV 1041. BWV stands for Bach-Werke Verzeichnis and is a catalog of Bach's works, so the number (1041 in this case) identifies the particular work.

[robynsalain]

un bach solaire !

[pi6527]

Très touchant, très excitant, et ô combien parfait de réalisation, mille bravi Renaud!

[Twinkleh]

eee i love this!

[yukyo85]

Wow, it's breathtaking. Great performance!

[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic! Bravo Capucon! The best BWV 1041!

[vp1981ad]

This performance is just so thrilling!!!

[xPatriarch]

[jphlux]

Claire Annal, manipule-t-elle son archet de peau rose avec autant de dèxtérité

[Violinjunky]

fantastic!

[tedgoh]

[jphlux]

@tedgoh extraordinary!

[ThePianosarah]

@tedgoh as monsieur capucon always does, right? :)

[Slopies]

I don't understand why there is a bald dude dancing in the middle.

[jsot1988]

I still don't believe what I'm listening!! Great!!

[marden67]

J'adoooooore !

[themusicdr]

brilliant baroque playing

[robynsalain]

un tout grand violoniste !

[OriginalMoonbeam]

[tametataphysika]

[mileneczka007]

OMG :D :D :D

hahahahahahahahahhahahaha

[Kapputschino12]

Clown.But that is what people love about classical music,dont they?And big breasts!

[kyleclef]

[VegliaBorletti]

That is one good violin!

[embcomposer]

Enérgica, vigorosa ..., rico escucharla.

[Violista90]

WHat concert is it?

[xPatriarch]

does his bow look really long or is it just my imagination?

[Yellottwe]

Thats what she said!!! haha... Really good interpretation. Energetic but steady.

[Kapputschino12]

No,he uses the famous triangular Tourte!A very rare bow who makes you sound like s....!

[Silvio823]

like what ?

[vp1981ad]

The bow really does look long, but perhaps it's just the horizontal:vertical aspect ratio.

[kaikobird]

so flat... the intonation!

[farzadvengerov]

fantastic

[Silvio823]

Merveilleux.

[bach50]

this is amazing. His sound is so pure and energetic.
