"I really love her violin (playing)!" - Ravenfyhre
I love this violinist she's so good but what's with the 'epilectic' speed of the opening of the piece? I'm sure it must be just me but I found it way too fast, sorry.... great fantastic violinist though I can only but dream to be like her in another life time :) (and the ending too by the way ;) hehe)

I am familiar with gypsy people and gypsy music because I have lived in Hungary & Romania for a year. What Akiko is playing is a laughable immitation of gypsy music. Her playing is her style , not gypsy style. She should listen to the way real gypsys plays it. Their videos are on YouTube.
played really well, although i don't like it at this speed, is it meant to be this fast? cos i've heard other version and it was no where near this far
even though i like suwanai as a violinist, she butchered this piece with the speed. Some of the dynamic nuances are good, but most of the rubato and tempi don't really work. The gross ritardandos are a bit ridiculous, but in the tranquillo and cantabile passages she has a nice tone. I think she's having fun with this piece, which i guess is important, but this rendition doesnt give wieniawski nor the piece justice.
@haneem95 she should be around 40 by now. I used to hang out with her sometimes when she was living in ny.She was so pretty in her 20s(so is she now) When she was making her NY phill debut in 1998, she didn;t want to go shopping new dress for her most important debut performance, so I went out to get dress for her. Couldn;t believe such a beautiful young girl wasn't into stuff like that! She said that she didn't want to be disturbed for things like that. All she cared was music

I know a girl who is 10 years old. She playes it nearly as fast as her but she playes it not so.... uncontroled. I didnt like this performance... But everyone has an other intrepretation of a piece of music
It doesn't matter whether it's a tarantella, presto or adagio: If you are glossing over notes so the whole thing sounds like a mush there is no point. Even fast music has to have rhythm and the rhythm here is destroyed because the pulse is lost in trying to go break neck speed. Still, it was an encore and she's VERY gifted...so I suppose fair game.
This was out-fucking-standing. Maybe it's faster than Heifetz, but it's a FUCKING TARANTELLA! the faster the better, it's not like it's some pretty mozart or something.
What are you talking about can't control the piece? She was in total control. The style is perfect. Tarantellas defy rational thinking. Normally, the faster you play a piece, the less control you have, and the less you can express to the audience because the nuances fly out the window. However that is not the case with a tarantella. The tarantella is a fast piece, if you can control it (which she has the technical proficiency to be able to) you should play it as fast as your skill allows.
I think, she can play it as fast as she wants, if she was able to do so, without getting it a bad sound...
she's running, its not clean, at all. There is no good synchronism between the both hands, she sticks the bow to the strings, so you don't hear it that much, but its meant to be played spiccato
if you wanna hear this piece in a good version, hear it with menuhin with arthur balsam from '32, because it's clean, the notes are the right ones and there is unbeleavible emotion and musicality!
No, she plays always fast. I have been listening to all her pieces on YT but she speeds. She is definitely very talented, but needs to know that we are not always in a hurry. Good she is, no doubt about that.
too gosh darn fast. i'm hearing duplets instead of triplets. the last note of each triplet isn't sounding, so it's not even a tarantella pattern. the whole thing's just a big scramble.
@jaressloo you might wanna checkout the Heifetz interpretation that for me is the best one yet. but the her interpretation totally live up to the song
ella es simplemente fantastica, aunque la prefiero con esa candides e inocencia que derrocho en su participacion en el concierto de Tchaikovsky en el 90. i like it.
Wow, interesting. Find it amazing how she brings out things I´ve never heard before in this piece. Interesting tempi. The question answer play between piano and violin comes ou so good. Indeed very different than the others, but hey, think that´s a goog thing. Also like the very fast tempo and changes in tempo.
This is ridiculous, even if she CAN play the piece this fast doesn't mean that she SHOULD play the piece this fast. One could play Twinkle Twinkle Little star very fast too, couldn't they? yet it still wouldn't make the piece sound any better. I really dislike this interpretation; it is much too fast
Not really........ she's got great technique, and she's got Heifetz' strad, but she is NOT the female Heifetz as she does not have his tone and his non-stop speed, as she slows down sometimes. AND this is not criticizing.
lol,,,, do you get what i'm saying? I never said she wasn't able to play it without slowing down, I just said that she doesn't happen to play how Heifetz does.... Heifetz never slows down playing this piece, whereas she does....... and she slows down for reasons, not that i said she couldn't play it at non stop speed..... dude, think before you post a comment
She is one of the Great violinist's. She is absolutely winner of Tchaikovsky violin competitions in 1992 and she was play Tchaikovsky violin concerto by original sheet's with out cut and very well... Respect for her
she was AMAZING for her age during the tchaik competitions and she blew everyone else away, but she's gotten worse now as she's obviously stopped practicing much after the competitions.
just listen to her paganini concerto now and from back then.
If you know the matirial when you did till 22 year's will be all time with you even you now practise. For example Paganini didn't practise at all after few time's frim his live. She was one of the great violiniste. She should be play very nice and good if she want. I suggest you to listne my playing and comment it.
I wish i could play this with her stance...i find i get too flustered, especially during the first minute...i'm not sure why. Her fluidity is the best i've seen. She's great!
Hm, the whole piece is transformed because of the tempo which is ridiculously fast... Why so much vanity? Here lies a sacrificed Tarantella... tortured and mutilated... rest in peace.
Between the hysterical tempo and "epic-masterwork" delivery of the lyrical passages, this performance is DOA. There's no savoire faire. (There's a reason why people refer to short works such as this as bon-bons, no?)
this song's so damn fast, that when I mess up, I remember that it's okay because even Akiko's having frustration playing with it. This song's monstrous! Powerful and beastly. One day, I'm going to be able to perform this at Carnegie! lol.
...and the pianist said, "Look, lady! You only have four fingers to think about! I have ten!"
Just kidding. I too found it to be a tad quick, but impressive nonetheless. The tempo changes weren't exactly my cup of tea, but that's the nature of the beast.
she also looks so stiff! it's not good once you get older. and that sudden lapse of tempo wasn't very musical. it may have been if she played it better. good violinist nevertheless
Heifetz could play much fast than her. but he knews that it will be sounding like that. actually, he will be playing much clear than her though. However, she is a great violinist.
I think it's too fast, she never takes time for the Music, it's only speed. She plays the piece like a machine. Maxim Vengerov plays it soo beautiful en musical.
She plays it too fast and to less musical i think
she's a professional violinist for a reason, and there's nothing else to say about that. she's fully aware of the pace she's playing at, and she chose it because she thought it would bring out the best style of the piece at her full potential. amateurs should treat her with the respect that she deserves.
I preferer more cantabile, but I think Wieniawski could love it.

Hm, the whole piece is transformed because of the tempo which is ridiculously fast... Why so much vanity? Here lies a sacrificed Tarantella... tortured and mutilated... rest in peace.

wooooooooow. [speechless]. her arm looked like wood -_-'' and the change in tempo was kinda weird. but still impressively fast.

Between the hysterical tempo and "epic-masterwork" delivery of the lyrical passages, this performance is DOA. There's no savoire faire. (There's a reason why people refer to short works such as this as bon-bons, no?)

this song's so damn fast, that when I mess up, I remember that it's okay because even Akiko's having frustration playing with it. This song's monstrous! Powerful and beastly. One day, I'm going to be able to perform this at Carnegie! lol.

Sorry, what I wanted to say was, please do not call this kind of classical piece "a song". 'Music' without 'Lyric' can't be called 'Song

It was a bit fast, but I actually liked it that way. Akiko Suwanai is an amazing violinist!

...and the pianist said, "Look, lady! You only have four fingers to think about! I have ten!"
Just kidding. I too found it to be a tad quick, but impressive nonetheless. The tempo changes weren't exactly my cup of tea, but that's the nature of the beast.
Brava!

she also looks so stiff! it's not good once you get older. and that sudden lapse of tempo wasn't very musical. it may have been if she played it better. good violinist nevertheless

oh my, it's a bit too fast for her. the clarity isn't very good. it would be better if she played slower and worked on her string crossings.

Uncomfortably fast.

Heifetz could play much fast than her. but he knews that it will be sounding like that. actually, he will be playing much clear than her though. However, she is a great violinist.

I think it's too fast, she never takes time for the Music, it's only speed. She plays the piece like a machine. Maxim Vengerov plays it soo beautiful en musical.
She plays it too fast and to less musical i think

Maxim Vengerov plays is so much better, and not like a machine.
even though it's virtuoso piece still makes music

who cares what race she is?
she's a professional violinist for a reason, and there's nothing else to say about that. she's fully aware of the pace she's playing at, and she chose it because she thought it would bring out the best style of the piece at her full potential. amateurs should treat her with the respect that she deserves.
