Mozart Violin Concerto 5 (5of 5) Janine Jansen- violin

[THEMUSICALDREAMER100]

Are the Cadenzas from Joseph Joachim ?

[remcoisp1963]

That chick can buzz a pretty mean saw. Team her up with Charlie Daniels and they'll kick the Devil in the shorts every time.

[leopold1747]

Nothing touches the soul like the music of Mozart.

[TrigonJilad]

This usually impresses my friends who never listen to classical music.

[2ossa14]

me gusta mozart ya que tiene musica muy instrumental

[vivacecilia]

Musical....sound is not perfect, but she's beatiful phrases!!!! :-)

[jorgeoscar1000]

She is wonderful !!!! She directs too !!!!

[ModellMeister]

i dont like her style. she may be skilled, but shes overly sappy, forceful, exaggerated, dramatic, etc. dont want to be trollin but im just saying, i've heard way better

[DrMontague]

@ModellMeister You state that you have heard way better. Please provide us the names violinists who you have you heard play this piece way better as well as providing us with their discography/videos etc. We will then be able to make comparisons.

[ModellMeister]

@DrMontague Again, this is my opinion, others may think she is the best. What you or any others think about other versions (btw the version I like is by Arthur Grumiaux) not at all affects my feeling towards anything. Good day.

[mxsanluis]

@ModellMeister i am with you search Shara Lin i like the way she plays violin :D

[bellphegor]

@ModellMeister

Is she playng Paganinni right now?? Or Prokofiev???

[ModellMeister]

@bellphegor nope, and shes playing like them. Thos sick, DISGUSTING neo romantic people.... Mozart is to be played clean, fresh, crisp and brisk, not sappishly romantic.

[DrMontague]

@ModellMeister Of course you were there at the time to hear how Mozart actually played and conducted ed his music?

[ModellMeister]

@DrMontague you dont have to be there to know. The style of playing in the early ages differed significantly from that of the neo romantic untermensch. There is substantial evidence for this, including many books and manuscripts, and even the style of bow back then.. The bow tip was not in the curved fasion, making the hair weaker but sound strong. The modern bow is deformishly curved, for playing long deep notes. The strings are different too, in order to accomodate disgusting vibrato

[DrMontague]

@ModellMeister It can be argued that music r played now is being played better due to the advances in technology of instrument manufacture and audio equipment. . Imagine never actually being able to hear yourself play an instrument? We can never know for sure, how each Conductor interpreted the music., remember not everyone conductor would have seen and heard Mozart. What we have today is psychological yearning for wanting to believe everything was better played back then

[ModellMeister]

@DrMontague yes, I accept that technology makes overall music efficient, but instrument manufacture makes instruments lose their charme, especially wooden string instruments.

[DrMontague]

@ModellMeister I don't think you are gasping my augment. In modern day society we tend to think of classical in the past as somehow being played better i.e As if we are in a some kind of futile attempt striving to replicate it Personally I think Mozart would be astounded by today's musicians and conductors. Again in my opinion many have a psychological yearning for the past to be better.

[ModellMeister]

@DrMontague Yes, of course, people think past is better because its the ORIGINAL. In the past, Mozart was alive and he played it as HE wanted, as HE wrote it. Thats the correct way of playing this piece. But then again, what reason is there for the past NOT to be better than now ?

[DrMontague]

@ModellMeister Technology allows every musician to listen to themselves play . If you were Paganini you would not have heard what you sounded like when you were not actually playing the violin. In other words you could not stand back and listen to yourself. Further performances can be filmed and recorded allowing us to compare and contrast various interpretations of music. It is strange that you yourself have a notion of how Mozart should be played., yet others will disagree.

[ModellMeister]

@DrMontague yes, some will disagree, but some will also agree. The romantic style of playing originates in the romantic era...hence the name. mozart was very close to baroque, and its only common sense that, they played in that style.

[DrMontague]

@ModellMei i have heard a few different recordings of this Mozart violin concerto. In my personal opinion this is the one I enjoy above the others. If you listen the likes of Menuhin they sound old and stuffy and very constrained. This interpretation is more fluid. Another example is Kennedy's 4 seasons, I think he murders it. It doesn't have a rustic sound, yet others think it's the best ever. It strange how many believe only Mozart conducted Mozart. There were lots of amateur performances

[ModellMeister]

@DrMontague yes, you are correct. there were lots of amateur performances, like this one. Grumiaux and Szerying are experts of Mozart. Menuhin is also great because of his style

[DrMontague]

@ModellMeister Again I have heard other versions including Menuhin's. In my personal opinion they sound dated, old and stuffy. Probably like yourself. You simply don't see the big picture. When some one like you thinks of the great composers you get a romantic notion of how the music was performed. You have an imaginary standard of how a piece of music should be played. You have the false belief only Mozart played and conducted his own music. In short you are narrow minded.

[ModellMeister]

@DrMontague maybe they sound old and dated because....they ARE old and dated. Record quality wasnt its best back then. And I do not get a 'romantic notion.' I am accepting of all the people who play Mozart RIGHT. How do you know whats right? Because of simple reasons I already stated. Not only violin but in other mozart pieces in piano, and conductors too. Szeryng, Fischer, Grumiaux, Uchida, Gould, Kremer, Karajan, Levine, Abbado.... I dont think Im narrow minded, just intolerant of butchers

[DrMontague]

@ModellMeister Again we can never known for certain how the music was performed in Mozart's era. Every conductor has his or her own interpretation. For example i love Debussy's impressionist music. I have heard several highly claimed musicians play his works. I have my favorites. Others might disagree with my choice because it comes down toy subjectivity. .If you are claiming Janine Jansen is a butcher then you need your head sorted. The BBC proms do not deal in crap. You sound jealous.

[ModellMeister]

@DrMontague Do I ? Well I have nothing to be jealous about. Maybe of the great skill of ACTUAL great musicians who play (ok, even if no one knows how mozart is exactly played) following the music (all dynamics, etc that were left from many sources, to elimitate the arrangements by others) someday, I might want to be like them. Janine Jansen maybe a very skilled violinist, and may play great music of other composers, but should stick to Romantic music.

[DrMontague]

@ModellMeister Would it not be simpler to simply state that this version doesn't appeal to you? Again I have heard this concerto played by several orchestras but they don't appeal to me. In short you have come across a performance of Mozart that appealed to you and you have used that as a frame of reference as to how Mozart should be played. I've heard Jensen and Kennedy play the 4 seasons and neither appeal to me. Yet other people think they are brilliant performances.

[ModellMeister]

@DrMontague If you dont like Jensen's 4 seasons then you are agreeing with me, Vivaldi style is closer to mozart than Brahms or Tchaikovsky style, and if shes bad at playing the earlier style then chances are her mozart isnt very accurate. Now you're probably going to say no one knows how Vivaldi played, and thats not necessarily true. Yes, it is simpler to state it doesnt appeal to me. Im just explaining WHY it doesnt.

[DrMontague]

@ModellMeister Then your argument would have to apply to Kennedy's 4 seasons as his interpretation doesn't appeal to me at all.,yet it has critical acclaim. However I don't argue that his interpretation is wrong and that he should avoid playing Vivaldi, I can only state that Kennedy's and Jansen interpretations don't appeal to me. In my opinion their playing is too refined when they play this piece and lacks rustic charm. yet other people love their versions. It comes down to subjectivity.

[DrMontague]

@ModellMeister Further although I don't care much for Kennedy's or Jansen's version of the four seasons I find their playing of Bach appealing. e.g. search youtube for Jansen' playing Bach Sonata 1 for unaccompanied violin. I love it you might hate it.

[sadapari]

simply great playing

[TheFunkhouser]

O U T S T A N D I N G!

I have tears <3

[lolturtle13]

I love this concerto. :)

[vnvnvn83]

Her music is so wonderful but too much moving i think.

[btyremanable]

the melody of this is amazing

[nosph66]

Man she looks like she has some serious ticks, she moves so ackwardly, is painful to watch but beautiful to listen to.

[ArminianMorningTea]

@nosph66 Uh, maybe she's slightly nervous? Playing in front of thousands of people + TV and all....

[haru1ove]

anyone find the conductor a little strange time to time? especially from 2:45..

I know he is good and I'm not really an expert but I want to know what people think

[nuggie9511]

I just heard this Mozart Violin Concerto #5 performed by Anne Sophie Mutter w/ NY philharmonic here @ the Lincoln Center, and let me tell you I was absolutely blown away... time seem to stood still in there throughout this whole movement it was so riveting. Honestly& surprisingly I have to say it was much better performed than this one by Janine Jansen. I say surprisingly because I usually don't like the way Anne Sophie Mutter plays Mozart, but today it was special, she played it more elegantly.

[Most921]

ICT-JASET-AN-BEAUTY.

[lmaginacion]

2:17 ¿Sono raro?

Hermoso!!! que vitalidad y emocionante

[mario54671]

No applause? :(

[gecmartins]

Shit! Nice expression at around 1:09!

[spareaxe]

Charlie Daniels will show you how it's done!!

[MaxSoulven]

La mia canzone preferita!!!

[sl008m]

It's innovative and energetic but not elegant enough. I don't like her interpretation.  She plays well though. My respect to Janine.

[MyTunerLock]

in this part of this allegro for me the fast is very perfect!!! wonderful

[waistoi]

I like how Janine is so showy

[rayandreina]

Mozart makes you Smart!  o:-)

[meatpie29]

no music modern or past is a match for mozart

[DrMontague]

@meatpie29 Nonsense. I like Mozart but i don't like every piece of music he wrote. I love Debussy's  impressionistic music but I don't like everything he wrote. I like Bach but I don't like everything he wrote.. Don't be so closed minded.

[meatpie29]

@DrMontague I listen only to Mozart, I am very narrow-minded. No other music gives me such intense satisfaction.

[Rahetor2]

@DrMontague You write words of wisdom. I like The Beatles but I like only about 30 % of their music.

[busterboypk]

@DrMontague I agree. I like Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Handel, Shubert, Elgar, Beethoven...just not every piece they wrote. I do love this piece though.

[busterboypk]

watch?v=NoPv3lpBcdc

[estwo1984]

hooo! vaya pasion

[MrMusicforlife44]

INCREDIBLE always the most amazing thing i've ever seen

[jaceville]

beautiful lady...beautiful music...beautiful talent.....!!

[sailorrecordz]

i'm actually working on this piece right now!

[luthor8]

amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dichee]

I always liked classical musik that it takes up less of your attention, allowing you to focus more on appreciating it, working, drawing

[clarinet4evristutter]

absolutely

[Junno40]

Just amazing !!

[clarinet4evristutter]

i like this better than the recorded version.

[unitednerdsbeproud]

@clarinet4evristutter

I find that the case with lots of recordings. I get the same recording as the youtube version, but youtube always seems better somehow...

[DrMontague]

@unitednerdsbeproud I think it's because studio versions does not have the spirit of the audience with them. I also think that the youth is not held back by convention. It has a more open, more fluid interpretation which seems to suit this piece of music. In other words it's not all note on.

[unitednerdsbeproud]

I agree! Playing for a studio is not the same as playing for an audience. There's more spirit and more emotion being surrounded people than recording equipment. I tend to fine the recordings are more 'perfect' but the imperfections are sometimes what makes them beautiful.

[baszzzka]

It's such a amazing concert that I can't stop watch it !

I just say: WOW!

I'm absolutely keen on her feelings while playing

[jeonyunho]

WOW!!

[laresoldo39]

Hunnnnnnn!!!!!Mozart, imagine you conducting her!!!

[clarinet4evristutter]

omg that was awesome. You should've kept the standing ovation, applause or whatever. but omg that was awesome

[thelordoftheshadow]

çokgüzel benimde kemanim var

[mjacob78]

The beginnig of this clip is that part of 3rd movement? What movement is this?

[JFetter5]

Yes, 3rd.

[Jedum]

whoz the conductor?

[Rahetor2]

She takes my breath away! Please Janine, don't kill me! You know I'll love you (and Mozart's music) to the end of time!

[ellandelachapelle]

Go JJ! (Vladimir is so cute. I saw him live the first time in 1972 playing the piano.)

But the applause! Why did you cut it away?

[babak462]

the first part of this song is so beautiful. It is a masterpiece.

[firebreathone]

Which "song" are you referring to bakak? I don't hear anyone singing

[babak462]

My bad. I just called it song because I didn't know which part of the concerto it was. OK , the first part of this part of the violin concerto.

[blichilde]

In Italian the "parts" of a concert are called first,second..."movimento" (movement).

[babak462]

It is unusual to call a Mozart's concerto a song,but it is Okay to call an instrumental piece of music a song at lest in American English.

[pokerface127]

if you watch her fingers, especially in the beginning it'll blow you away

[0GL]

Yngwie eat your heart out.

[pokerface127]

i really like the way the cello's band their bows on their strings in this movement!

[ahmadjawadi]

I can't understand how Mozart think and how get all this magic music, this movement is one of my most lovely movements, she is really wonderful.

[lugo1997]

te quiero y seguramente te vere en algun escenario ,me encanta el mozart

[bobthwart]

Is this what Mozart is? The beauty and the youth!!!

Thanks so much for this, it's just absolutely beautiful.

[LEOPARDTWO]

[bananapark14]

ooohhh! i luv this video! thnx for posting!

[hdunik]

i really like the conductor, he makes the music so much more enjoyable :)

[jcvelaz]

she is so passionate! she is amazing!

[dallassvolk]

Blow it out your asses, you pompus bastards! If you can't appreciate this woman's extraordinary talent, perhaps you should pick something else.

[ksd444]

thats why this concerto is called Turkish I mean..

[ksd444]

This is the same rhythm (probably not coincidentally) as the stereotyped chant of marching soldiers: "Left ... left ... left right left." (It should not be imagined, however, that the tempo is necessarily plodding: the Janissaries conjured up in Mozart's Fifth Violin Concerto, for instance, would be making considerable headway following the tempo of most performances.)

[lugo1997]

me gusta ella

[rafa034]

a mi tambien

[lugo1997]

parece que nos guata a varios habra que organizar la repartija

[DEVIMON111213]

its a very nice performance indeed.... she makes violin a part of her body... thats what violin should be.... thank for posting... godbless

[doublearejazz]

..not bad after 20 years playing the same notes -..but it is finally or at last only interpretation..

..you wonna see/hear something realy innovative - ..how to improvise bach or mozart ..?!

look for video : "bach sarabande jazz guitar"

or go to renatorozic dot com /audio/bach or audio/mozat..

..you ll be surprised/astonished !

:-)

[TheHighPriestess82]

there is a story line in this movement. I always see an underwater scene; a naughty fish who goes to discover the sea (in spite of disagreement of all other fish) and after all the deadly adventures comes back home safe and sound.. :P

it's so vivid. you can imagine the details according to every part as the music develops

[DrMontague]

And someone told me ecstasy does you no harm at all :)

[Sviolinist]

but how can something called ecstasy every hurt you? =P. KIDS STAY OFF DRUHGS!!! DRUHGS IS BAD!!! play Mozart like Jansen!!

[hdunik]

finding nemo hehe xD

[medre]

ordinary.

[scottbos68]

the first movement i liked - the second movement was dull and not emotional enough for me - the third movement the tempo was all over the place, i thought ahkenasi was always guilty of this in his performances as a piano soloist which i did not find convincing either, please forgive me

[DrMontague]

You have a right to express your opinion. I allow any comments here as long as they are not written to deliberately hurt or insult the performers, and are intelligent criticism.

[music1kidd]

she's a REALLY good player. i like how she moves. and yes mozart was Austrian.

[ilbiancoedolcecigno]

i'm neither hot bloded nor heterosexual, but that doesnt even sound like music from a german classisit composer, perhaphs is not the soloist fault, i blame the director, he is a great musician but a pianist after all, she is pretty and her bow and left hand look good but its painful on the back to play standing like she does, besides it looks bad

[DrMontague]

Ah you've made a mistake Mozart was Austrian.

[ilbiancoedolcecigno]

oh my god such a diferent world and culture! ¬¬

[blichilde]

Indeed, they ARE different cultures and were more different in Mozart's time.

[lieaharting]

The way she stands is actually better on her back than you would think. Her posture is very nice: straight back, relaxed shoulders (as relaxed as possible with a violin in between her shoulder and chin), and bending at the knees, not the spine.

[cenolbaj]

She makes a bit too harsh drama on this lovely transparent piece of music

[JeannineAnne]

While her sound is wonderful I'd rather listen than see her play. She moves a bit too much...almost like Boyd Tinsley from Dave Matthews. haha.

[DrMontague]

If you're a hot blooded heterosexual male like me you will enjoy her visual movements as well as her playing :)

[drcajus]

That conductor is a bad ass.

[DrMontague]

You mean the volume or pitch? Volume is fine when I view the video.

[Dchterklavier]

It's Very Low!

[DrMontague]

As a red hot blooded heterosexual male this is the best Mozart I've heard or seen. I've got the best of both worlds :)

[Seanpiano]

how beautiful!

[progressivelife]

this woman rocks! :)

thnx for the upload

[ilope012]

Beautiful

[muslit]

the playing is lovely and effortless - however, some of the posturing is ungainly, and the minuet tempo is too fast -

[angelia81]

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN'!!!

[genmaximus110]

I like her spirit. She seems to really enjoy playing it. Thanks for posting this entire concert.

[cattleman6420012000]

Lovely to see this. Thanks very much for showing it.
