One can only wish that they have the opportunity to do more recording--just so satisfying!

wow. awesome. I'm assigned this movement for the chamber summer camp next month (I'm a pianist). The pianist in this group is supposed tol be one of the piano teachers at the camp! so cool :)

[scotjack]

@NicholasPiano Good luck with your camp, and thanks for commenting on my video.

Someone made a comment about partying after teaching and rehearsals. NO partying. Concerts every afternoon and evening.

[scotjack]

@bakrek1 Were you one of the fortunate few to be there? If so, student or instructor?

[bakrek1]

@bakrek1 Yes I was there. I had the honor of accompanying my sister Linda Rose and her students to the festival. It was a music fest every day. You could hear young people and their teachers rehearsing all over town. A most beautiful place. Castelnuova di Garfanana.

[scotjack]

@bakrek1 Your sister is very talented.

[bakrek1]

@scotjack She has wonderful students.

[iamzdragonfly]

Absolutely beautiful! I also thoroughly Antonin Dvořák's Piano Quintet, Op. 81 2nd Mvt. (Parts 1 & 2)

[scotjack]

@iamzdragonfly Thank you for your kind comment. I am so glad you enjoyed it.

Good!

[ahsusmus]

can tell this was put together last minute....5minutes into the video, violin one and violin two have really weird harmony.

I'm sure they are top-notch violinists, and both have good intonation, but somehow they sound out of tune when played together.

[scotjack]

Thank you for your comments. You are almost correct in your observation - this was not a rehearsed "public performance" per se, but rather a "concerto dei docenti" -- a concert for the students by the teachers, who only came together for the first time a week before this performance.

[steveinamerica]

fantastic

[musikgirl1]

This is one of the best performances of this I have heard.Very talented musicians,esp the pianist,violist and cellist.The cellist reminds me of du Pre' I listen to this once or twice a week.

Thank you. J

[scotjack]

Thank you for your kind comments. I too never tire of listening to this performance. I just wish I had better video equipment when I recorded it than the rather ancient Sony 8mm that I used.

[mikelunz]

this is wonderful. My piano teacher studied at Peabody with Boris Slutsky, and it is my first time hearing him play.

[scotjack]

Yes Boris Slutsky was the glue that held this performance together. If your piano teacher still has contact with Mr. Slutsky, perhaps he can inform him of this video. He may not know it is on YouTube. And thank you for commenting.

[scotjack]

I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Would you like a complimentary DVD of the performance?

[iwishatx11x11]

i loove the tempo they took and how at 6:30 they played on the string. the violist is great! beautiful tone! great players

[Slack3ron]

ive played it so long ago.... brings back memories

[scotjack]

Which instrument?

[ViolinSara]

Wonderful, just wonderful. I have seen many videos on the dvorak quintet but this is by far the best. The 1st violinist and the violist are doing a great job. My favorite solo of the 1st violinist is so pure. Thanks for this!!!

[scotjack]

I am so glad you like it. Please check your messages for further information.

[blp43000]

This is amazing Quintet. The second violin and pianist are doing superb job. Please let me know if there are other videos of these players.

[scotjack]

Unfortunately these superb musicians only came together serendipitously because they were all attending and teaching at the annual International Academy of Music Festival in Tuscany in 2005. In addition to the five artists in the video, there were an additional five or six of equal calibre, e.g. Anna Pelekh, Efrem Briskin, etc.

Amazingly, all of the concerts that they give during this festival are completely free! If you are ever in Tuscany during this time, do not miss them - or the gelato!

[scotjack]

@blp43000 Since these superb musicians only came together for this combined music festival and master class, it is highly unlikely that they will ever play together again.

[StarlightWarrior]

THANKS FOR THIS!

I've looked forever :D

[scotjack]

You are welcome. If you liked this, wait until you see the final two movements - spectacular. (I should have them posted by next weekend.)

[rearvumirror]

Magnificent! Please post the other three movements if you have them.

[scotjack]

I have now uploaded the first part of the second movement.
