Henryk Szeryng plays Brahms Violin Concerto (2nd Mov.)

[eliyaguy]

thank you for sharing this marvel.

[mschmidt62]

I love the look of high anxiety on the oboist's face before he begins the most prominent solos of the orchestral literature....

[KhachLil]

wonderful performance , this is the bes

t part of the concerto for me, the music is incredible, adore this music !!!

[kathywilliams76]

I sigh with happiness!

[bassoonbg]

Absolutely gorgeous playing. (and loves that the video started with the bassoon section!). I laughed at the cough at the end. Since he couldn't hold it in for those last few seconds, he'll be heard coughing for generations. haha.

[jayadsilva67]

One of the legends of the violin

[MrLindenson]

wow, by far one of the best interpretations of the piece I've listened to

[bachboy111]

just beautiful enough. <3

[corax176]

Me recuerda muchísimo a Heifetz, pero no sé... tiene algo diferente que me gusta.

[1imalicecullen1]

great oboeist

[kammermusiken]

The acoustics there seem to be tricky. It pays to practice in rooms without echo. I did that once in a cubicle for drummers, very tough. The worst job for a musician I guess is to play for a studio recording.

[10ojos10]

Cuánta belleza! Inconmensurable.

[AtomHeartFather42]

beautiful. I'll bet the bassoons are wincing about that bleeding first note though.

[bittorring]

El mejor de todos los tiempos.

[11bien]

Deliciosamente perfecto! H. Szeryng un regalo para la humanidad

[jshaman]

Orchestra is French...conductor is Paul Paray. Concert is in Paris, 1952. Re: earlier posts about playing au natural(sans shoulder rest)...do what works for you. I've tried both ways...now use a Fom rest w/high chin rest. Some really great violinists are using them too, so don't feel badly about it. The result is what counts...no matter what your form is, if you sound bad or can't play fluidly...whats the benefit? Put the issue to rest, and play.

[brahmsaholic]

Is the conductor Fabien Sevitzky? If so the orchestra might be from Indianapolis?

[Flaviat57]

Could you please let me know when this was recorded, who conducted which orchestra and where?

Many thanks.

[marindrinov]

Can someone tell me which orchestra is that and when? Thanks

[hinatachansama]

vieleicht mein lieblingsgeiger. nichts möchtegern virtuoses,gezwungenes. ich magjede seiner sehr

[zprj]

With a lot of feeling, I´m crying now, I love this movement and I can´t undestand a Sarasate.

[ThePapayaFish]

Word.

[treyc1989]

such grace n fullness in every note.

[zzzxtreme]

so not boring

[juskisiberiano]

Thanks again.

[SLOKO970]

Can someone please identify the orchestra and the conductor?

[musicdivinemusic]

Yes, what a jewel this performance is. It took me 3 years to find out that YouTube has classical music and jazz- before that I thought it was just full of silly videos of people's cats and dogs and so on. Now YouTube has completely changed my daily life... admittedly it's been much harder to concentrate on my work with so many precious vds to watch and hear.

[helouz]

waw!

[oboebass]

great! i'm playing the oboe solo for an audition tomorrow...just wanted to hear how others play it! it's very sweet.

[ShatteredScarlet]

how'd the audition go?

[StetsonSOMusic]

haha I'm playing this for an audition tomorrow too, except, four months after you lol...yea, how did you do?!

[driverof69road]

maestro gracias!por llevar la interpretecion a los mas niveles de autentica emocion...aunque no hay palabras que puedan describir este nivel de maestria..mam nadzieje ze kiedys znow uslysze na zywo ten koncert jak w Warszawie w 1977

[seanehawk]

what is that in english? :s

[gnatural]

thats speaks words when you can begin this mvt on a downbow and make it sound that amazing.

[ellas4656]

Best Brahms, I agree!

[CarolJWright]

me too. His recording's been my favorite for a few decades now. Glad to finally SEE him play it. Hooray for YouTube!

[nathanbob12]

how about ferras's or milstein's brahms

[CarolJWright]

Love Milstein, too. It's on YouTube...think I have one cd of him with Chicago Sympnony? Anyway, is it not grand that we can just access these videos to compare and enjoy! Hooray for YouTube, the cultural center of the universe...too bad more people don't know about this aspect of YouTube. Saves my sanity, some days.

[friendlybarman]

excelente, gracias

[skiritz]

Szeryng is sublime. Simply perfection!

[CrowbarUpsideTheHead]

There are no words to describe the feeling when the violin solo comes in after 2 mins, just...

[cuerdaseca]

Sublime, no words to say. The best!!!

[mchalton]

Wonderful - thanks - much appreciated.

[fifineni]

Love the horn vibrato - sounds like a Yorkshire Brass Band! Szeryng is sublime.

[cageynerd]

I want to jerk off to this video it's so awesome... The word "love" doesn't even begin to describe how much I love this movement... XOXOXOXOXO, and HS just played it PURRRFECTly. Yum.

[miszVanPersie1711]

Amazing. :)

[blacksbury]

Nobody better for the Brahms.

[yubobao27]

Where's the fu**ing first movement?

[hautboisjj]

Correction: oboist was really very very unmusical

[hautboisjj]

The oboist was good, well typical of French oboists of that time i suppose.

[puskulcu]

Sam lee Could you plase upload the first movements of this great interuption?Thanks.

[grabadabar]

The best Brahms!

[emtube]

Seems to have been recorded in 1962, by the Paris Conservatoire under Paul Paray.

I don't think the oboe is so bad, but it looks like one of the bassoonists was having trouble with his instrument or reed and was out of tune much of the time.

[hungwildparti]

i take some of what i said back

Its the conductor that tends to run through phrases, in a mack truck!]

[hungwildparti]

you right about the oboist, and his accompaying wind friends dont help his cause. to bad the flute only plays jsut a few final notes before the violin enters, for his sound and cleary musicianship is superior to that oboist

By the way does anyone give a damn about the conductor and orchestra., Afterall this is a symphinic concerto.

WHo is the orchestra and conductor???

[acossanchez]

Mr. Szeryng, thanks a lot for this beautiful moment.

[luckintown73]

The oboeist is so unmusical.

[ladyviolinist]

This is my favorite concerto! Lovely, thanks for adding.
