[sleepingbeautiwing]

The person who disliked it - ah, who cares? Let's just say it was an accident and get on with our lives. :)

[MegaMarkus1]

This woman is exceptional! Is this her Bonaparte violin?

[frankcisyarmi]

Anne Akiko Meyers !!!!! impresionante version me gustaria escuchar el 1er movto si puedes subirlo theviolinchannel seria una gran alegria para todos los seguidores de Anne Akiko M

[Deadshot1130]

3.6 million for the violin and 200,000 for the bow! Wow her playing is incredible she could probably make a stick with a string sound good.

[beedoe51]

Anne's performance brings me to tears........

[BaneofBaal]

This is beautifully dark, however, I don't find it very despairing. Great work though!

[2flight]

Beautiful recording. Right in your face. Great orchestra. And, oh yeah, forgot to mention. Beautiful violinist!

[hilzanne47]

Music is so cool...

[bobareebop]

Orchestra and conductor??

[MrProsperousguardian]

It's so passionate, how she wrathfully intensifies as she slides the bow angrily across the neck, then tenderly, it confounds to a meticulously light vibrata. It's beautiful.

[frankcisyarmi]

La nostalgia que me produce este movimiento asi tocado por Anne es tremenda su violin parece hablar como un lamento o diferentes sensaciones algo realmente increible grande Anne Akiko Meyers!!!!!

[LiverpoolChrisDobson]

Can not see at why anyone would EVER dislike this video :(

[TiagoHikaru]

Amazing performance! shes stunning! OMG! and the oboe is very nice as well.

[solowinterwolf]

Very pricey fiddle she's got there -- the Molitor Strad.

[59jeanie]

So hauntingly fabulous, absolutely love it. Agree about the oboe player too.

[BClipp]

at 32 seconds look at the eyes of the girl to the right, creepin

[bronxboy47]

Heartbreakingly beautiful. The soul of a gay man.

[amatorynumber]

What sadness and beauty must have been in Sam Barber's soul! This is so extraordinarily beautiful it makes me proud of the human race.

[NYCroxmysocks]

best ive ever heard of this song! soo emotion its freakin beautiful!

[jorgeuribeclar]

It´s wonderful, Anne Akiko is amazing, great orchestra....

[Ravenelvenlady]

Akiko Meyers is able to evoke a beautiful, languid, rich sound out of her violin. And I agree with the comment that the oboe player is amazing also :)

[GRAFINANNA]

Vue sur scène..étonnante 

[rikku38]

LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL STAR BASSOON AT 5:48! He makes me proud :D

[AprilSeasons]

This Is painfully Beautiful. The reason Because I always cry when I hear it it is Filled with So MUCH innocent and Love and Heart but With Sadness. It;s Very Sensitive It Cracks My heart To hear This song At how Beautiful It is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

[pokerface127]

oh this is beautiful. i love the sound she gets on the g string.

[orthoal1]

I'm very much inclined to call this sublime which C.S Lewis linked to the deep and infinite well of reality, Divine love. Utterly wondrous!

[sensibleshawnhb]

A great, sensitive Barber piece played forcefully but with great sensitivity by a great violinist.

[6alexi6laiho6]

@penkili6 a to je slovenski orkester??? o.O

[penkili6]

@6alexi6laiho6 jap, to je filharmonija. Zadnja leta so se neverjetno 'popravili'. Imajo dobre koncerte...

[musicisfreedom10]

do you have her playing the 1st mvt? i can't find it anywhere

:(

[1lyubov1]

Ethereal: only in the Andante Moderato from Mahler's 6th Symphony have I been touched so deeply by such beautifully plaintive and heart-rending melodies.

[Gehirnstruktur]

My goodness! This truly is one hell of a passionate performance. At times it seems she is fighting back tears.

Particularly the ever increasing tension and vehemence of musical expression (starting at about 4:18) which then (accompanied by some masterful tempi rubati) resolves into the main theme at 4:53 without any haste is heartbreakingly beautiful and intense.

It is a shame this is not available on audio-cd.

Thank you so much for uploading this formidable rendition.

[Srach]

@Gehirnstruktur You know, I was thinking exactly the same thing with that part. It's not only amazing to watch her, but to hear through this recording the full vibrations of the instrument and almost raw affect of that theme. I think her portamenti choices in that segment were also very genuine.

[pLmxi]

who orchestra is? the oboe solo is gorgeous!!

[Nudgie2009]

I'm knocked out! Such pure tones in the oboe solo ... a really wonderfully performed piece! I used to have a recording of the entire concerto featuring Isaac Stern ... oh, how I wish I'd kept a better eye on it!

[Steroid0Strad]

Too fast in my opinion.

[prestonjbradley]

@Steroid0Strad That's what she said

[SurreyViolinHero]

The soloist was great. I also thought the orchestra were excellent especially the principle oboeist.

[door2yourheart]

Gorgeous!!

[Pattyoboe]

Could you fill us in on the orchestra & conductor, please? Love it!

[misterkatartiko]

bello...però non ha avuto il coraggio di suonare il tema principale tutto sulla IV corda.

[Railr]

This is absolutely my favorite version of the movement.

[frankcisyarmi]

Anne Akiko te amo gracias por subirlo theviolinchannel aunque deberias volver a subirlo con mas volumen

[ritaviolin]

Thank you!!!

Who is this amazing oboe player? I'd wish to be at his solo performance one day.

[altasilvapuer]

@ritaviolin I think it's the City of Birmingham Orchestra, and if it is, then that should be Rainer Gibbons, from the digging that I did. I agree; his playing is absolutely gorgeous.

[ritaviolin]

@altasilvapuer Thank you very much! Now I know the name of this amazing musician.

[doctordressen]

@altasilvapuer It's not the City of Birmingham Orchestra playing, it's the Slovenian Philharmonic conducted by George Pehlivanian and I'm guessing the solo oboist mentioned is Matjaž Rebolj.
