Anne Akiko Meyers Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E Minor

[TheCelebrity3]

mendelssohn is amazing and this is brilliant

[prchecker]

some sweet info here

[maxim1991350]

are u kidding me, sarah chang is really talented but, anne akiko meyers interpretaion of this piece is just unreal, just stunning i love it so much ♥

[chryzchan]

Kiyora-chan? :))

[grunniesrawesome]

I like Sarah chang better

[PuffingAndPooffing]

She's lacking the tremble and vibration of the music. She's making it sound too smooth, which it isn't.

[getsuga97]

@PuffingAndPooffing

There's this thing called interpretation...

[TheCicek34]

ilove classic..

[pixiedrop133121]

she need to vibreate

[mounirk92]

la meilleure interprétation que j'ai jamais écouté ! C'est émouvant !

[mozart1791able]

Classical music is the best :)

[maxim1991350]

heared very much violin players but she plays it with so much more passion then some others so i love her in the classicalmusic genre

[francescastefano]

If someone is interested in contemporary but classical authors I suggest you STEFANO SEMPRINI's SONATAS FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO - that are now edited by ArsMusica Edizioni (Rome). You can easily check them on the official website and on internet!

[Soccer1296]

man everyone ruins the cadenza except sarah chang....

[proggoth]

@Soccer1296 Anne ruins the cadenza!? Surely you don't mean the Sarah Chang version uploaded here on YT. It's just stressful how out of sync Sarah is when they reintroduce the orchestra. Anne Akiko Meyers performs this piece with a beautiful maturity without all the posturing and histrionics.

[Soccer1296]

@proggoth i agree that the re-entrance was pretty bad. but i believe the ending of the cadenza (8:17-end) anne takes it WAY too fast. i like how sarah chang expresses the low G notes very strongly and slowly. I prefer it that way. and thats the way i like to play it. :)

[amyyang0217]

Beautiful......



[cptrtardo98]

Her facial expressions are priceless....SO MUCH PASSION.

[kakashijohn7]

Elle est si belle!

[admiralcrash1]

I like how the rapper Virtuoso sampled this track. Song is called "Fahrenheit 9/11."

[wonderland323]

absolutely perfect.

[1mariooo]

es gibt auch trennen  es gibt auch Fröhlichkeit auch auch von mir 10 punkte+

[pillsburydilldough66]

This is the link I share with people if I don't have one of her albums to share. So much talent and so much passion.

[McSplat]

smik

[SLAIEH]

SUBLIME !!

[cupcakemaniac]

phenomenal..

[ilovezuerich]

like anne s. m <3

[wiltonpt1]

what a creative, sensitive and vigorous interpretation of this concert..what a talent you have. Love the expressions and phraseology you use. Your technique just adapts perfect to what you express in your music. I am impressed!

[piotrg2]

zawsze i wszędzie kojarzyć mi się będzie z Ewą Pobratymską i Łukaszem Niepołomskim

[jazzywarrrior1414]

We played this in highschool. Our soloist is nothing compared to her.

[guglielmiable]

@sunilviolin171

mais j'espère avec des oreilles !!!! c'est magnifique.

[Kitoulini]

Not too sweet, not too slow, a little melancholic, clean sound-just the way I like it-maybe the orchestra is not always perfect..

[Salamura96]

i like this.... she's perfect!

[Asimov888]

Impressionant et si beau

[Asimov888]

[TheArevka]

Thank you for giving me such amazing feelings

[TheArevka]

Thank you for giving me such amazing feelings

[snazzziness]

I don't mean to be rude, but she makes some really funny faces..... Awesome player though!

[dyad2r1]

@snazzziness - It's called passion.  I love it.

[josephfrancisneri]

This is how the Angels keep order in the World

[liamoreninha]

Magnifico ....emociono sempre que ouço esse som , maravilhoso que so um violino bem tocado tem ....

[foxmon1234]

this music...is marvelous.!!



[TK2008BEST]

@foxmon1234 Yes of course, its Mendelssohn.

[doingthisthingofours]

the high note at 3:03 - 3:07 well there are no words. the orchestre had already played along, and at every bar and stanza along the way once the Strad takes the music over, it is remarkable. even if an impressario were present in addition - her performance is magnificent. then too, every person blessed with hearing should be given the opportunity to hear 4:15 - 4:29.incredbile. and not to be fulsome, at 5:22 -5:28 is just ok but the entire piece is 10 out of 10. BraVOOO000ooooo.

[chys102]

@doingthisthingofours lol like you'd have a clue lolol

A esta mujer la amo♥

[Sunil0DSM]

i love anne

[juifcommuniste]

i am french and my fellow brothers who made the movie "les visiteurs" have chosen this as the end theme music and comedy made by the french actor jean renaud shouting swear word in the medieval ancestor of our beautiful language. to laugh as you to watch the video "les visiteurs générique de fin". it's in french but even those who do not understand the language of shakespeare will laugh.

[guglielmiable]

@juifcommuniste j'espère pour vous que vous l'interpreterez aussi bien sinon mieux. c'est magnifique!!!

[vln1NUB1PRO]

the octaves were slightly out of tune in the beginning but it's great! i'm hoping to play this concerto soon. (:

[opiansage]

this is one of the most beautiful concertos written of the romantic era

[MrJeanlima19]

muito bommm!!!adorei a performance nota 1000

[Imbetterthanmost]

does this remind anybody of "The Godfather" ?

[guglielmiable]

@jamieh1911 vous écoutez la musique ou le phiysique des artistes???

[jamieh1911]

J'écoute sans l'égard.

[1hanamoon]

i love marybeth

[ARUNHARITHEPAINTER]

Extraordinary performance!!!



[Danyhg92]

Did you hear the sigh at 6:30? How impressive

[rihannalover93]

Bravo!!!!

[alkiss5]

очень по женски , трогательно , сексуально - да пусть простят меня ценители музыки.,

[mellowsky47]

Wonderful, love it.

Mi piace:non si muove troppo

[antonellotrbn]

e quant s bon....

[2008puppet1]

gerçekliğin en güzel hali belkide bu ses

[hanblum]

@thelittleviolin97 what does her nose have to with anything?

[3Dmidori]

@thelittleviolin97 If you didn't notice, this video is entitled "Anne Akiko Meyers Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E Minor," not "Let's comment on the violinist's nose." Your comment is irrelevant to the video and disrespectful to the artists.

[stooge389]

Me mucho gusta Anne Mekiko Meyers.

[blanket581]

When i first heard this song i swear a little peice of me died right then and there.

[dinkarrao1]

@Kleobleeciyia 

[dinkarrao1]

hanamoon i love you

[me19471]

! Grandiosa ! violin maravilloso !

[jetsings]

she's gorgeous

[burimom]

I liked it a lot...she has fellinf and does a good perofoemance, but never compares to my favorite and most remarkable vionlinist of XX century: DAVID OISTRAKH

[kuvhlubkojibleegxwbo]

I know that Anne Akiko is a really talented player, but I just don't like this version of her playing the Mendel.

[blichilde]

Brava, ovviamente, ma per me le manca quel tocco interpretativo che distingue il violinista di genio dal violinista bravissimo.

Mi pare anche mal servita dall'orchestra, poco incisiva.

[31122051]

CHE DONNA MERAVIGLIOSA ! CHE CONCERTO STRAORDINARIO ! SEMPLICEMENTE FANTASTICO ! ANNE AKIKO MEYERS = MERAVIGLIA DEL VIOLINO.

[Folbold]

J'en ai des frissons tellement c'est beau!

[thoggas]

She plays very beautifully and the the subtle sensitivity is well performed in her playing. Wow I can sense very feminine

[iChuxChu]

It sounds as if she's rushing in the beginning, but iderno . She just sounds off beat to the rest of the orchestra .

I started Mendelssohn About a year ago (I'm 11), but I still kind of suck at it, so sorry if she's not rushing ?:<

[mercussioni2ify]

Anne are good and beautiful.

a big hug Vito

[DDbRowN67]

beautiful

[jacky25511]

from 4:32 she looks as if she's dancing, funny

[Deathmetalist16]

Im a metal head i love death metal but..there is something in classical music that calls my attention!!! so much..i have travel with this music i have cry i have go beyond imagination with this kind of music!! Specially Mendelssohn!!

[fanofjapanandmusic]

@Deathmetalist16 ya isnt it amazing?!!

[mrbrianmccarthy]

The main theme of the Godfather movie is very similar to the main motif in this violin concerto.

[condori315]

@mrbrianmccarthy omg i thought the same thing.

[Kawasizzle]

I would "butterfly - kiss "Anne .

[ly316]

Of course she is brilliant...People is a professional violinist...

[oldgrannycatari]

@Kleobleeciyia

Yup. The first time I heard it, I cried... in front of my entire strings class.... :P

[TheGreendaylover1]

Holy Cow!!!

She is like 1000x better than me on my violin!!!

[omegaweapon123]

I think im in love...

[RabidCh]

Listened to her play this live live and also now and she still doesn't impress me... although the symphony support can barely be heard in this recording which doesn't help at all, and we only get 9:06! Unfortunate that the many of the best parts are cut out.

My favorite *complete* video of this on YouTube is Christian Ferras... my favorite recording though... too many great ones to name!

[waverly2468]

@RabidCh Yes, I like Christian Ferras's videos also, especially his Franck Sonata.I still enjoy hearing this overplayed concerto because of the great sounding digital recordings that are now available. A recent one with amazing digital sound is Leonidas Kavakos on Sony. (You can hear sound clips on Amazon)

[maicol2931ruiz]

maicol2931ruiz-¡¡¡Fantástico!!­!

[operaandy]

She makes a really clear and beautiful sound but apart from the climactic notes it generally seems a little 'too safe' as though she's holding back her emotions.

[sikorkasikoreczka15]

Nadzwyczaj piękne wykonanie !!!

[alexlisiulun]

the support to the soloist is not very enough, isn't it?

the range is so small that it doesn't bring so much excitement to the audience

difference between a solo part and a tutti part is not significant

[yenyenlim1]

OMG.. It's just so perfect , clean, gorgeous..

[influencija]

Where's the end????

[charlito55]

pa llorar

[vincero90]

Fantastic. The classic music perfect .

I'm italians and not smik perfect english.

[guglielmiable]

@vincero90 la musiqu e est un langage universel.....

[coookiii95]

ihr ton ist ein wenig komisch, aber sonst ist sie wirklich eine perfektionistin! aber es dünkt mich ein wenig langsam....

[MsJackSpratt]

that part a little after 3 minutes in just melts my heart, and i can't help but close my eye and swollow because it feels like my spirit is slowly slipping out and heading for heaven.

[Chiva2699]

i know a fellow 16 year old thats just as good as this and playedd this with me in the orchestra :D

P.S.: were only teens, no adults what so ever, except for our conductor :D

[bakinblack1]

i just started learning violin. I dream of getting to this level! :D

[julienbencze]

I like a lot her pure and yet emotionally charged sound, I feel like an hypnotised snake dancing on her music.

[lawmichael]

I feel Sarah Chang better !!

[sewerance]

super......!!!!

[marrrkeeee]

I thought this better than Sarah Chang's. (No expert, but I. Perlman is the best player I've heard.)

[travonprince]

One of the best concertos!! Tchaikovksy and Mendelssohn are butting heads!!!

[arke44]

süper

[omegaweapon123]

Im in love..

[shuk830]

Can Somebody Discuss the tempo,melody, dynamics and rythem of this song?

[IwannaCit9]

do you even know what any of that means?

[nednednerb]

@shuk830 shifting, arpeggiated, full ranging, and 4/4 with many tuplets... Classic!

[archrelyrist]

i like it...as in this piece. and i don't think akiko is a bad violinist at all, but i think Hilary Hahn's style captures this piece better. she's my preferred on this. and of course, Perlman tears it up- he's insanely awesome!

[simonetr81]

This is playing with tremendous power and insight, AND with breadth and grandeur! Absolutely full of energy and brilliance.

Thank you for the upload billtownsend.

[Noemika1]

waw, wonderful!!

[frankcisyarmi]

Anne Akiko es hermosa en este concierto su sonido especial no entiendo q espera youtube para subir el resto del concierto

[ghazals99]

superbe, fantastic, and i even like her dress ^^

[xAnnaXP]

where is the rest???!

[giovannipepperoni]

Holy Cow!

[giovannipepperoni]

Everytime I listen to this recording, it makes me feel like practicing 3 hours a day. On off days, I listen to music. Well, I better start practicing.

[giovannipepperoni]

I will learn from your video. Where are the other two movememts. Thank you for uploading this masterpiece. My other favorite video of yours is the Saint-Saens live in concert. Thanks again for sharing your violin performances with the world.

[giovannipepperoni]

One of The Best! Can You Teach Me How To Play The Violin? What Kind Of Cushion Are You Using? Your Playing Speaks For Itself. No Further Comment. Please Do Not Reply.

[ILoveHisGoldenEyes]

Last night i saw Jonathan Magness perform this live, it was truley one of the most amazing things i've ever seen.

[salvavillani]

brava brava, meravigliosa magnifica e stupenda.

villani firenze.

[vanessamcinnis]

this used to be my favorite piece to play on violin!... kinda makes me want to play it again.

[HawaiianTropicZone]

This is the one true piece my girlfriend will play to argue that her violin is better than my piano! You are right, my friend. Just like Bach's cello suite, some immortal pieces are written in particular instruments that even the so called orchestra-in-one piano can NEVER imitate.

I urge you to pick up your violin again! So what if you cannot play like J.Bell? Satisfaction with our own limited mastery is more than enough!

[xAnnaXP]

Bach's cello suites is a pretty bad example of a piano orchestral reduction lol

[HawaiianTropicZone]

Ergo my girlfriend just this as her ultimate argument. I still think piano is a more diverse instrument, but one can't digress; there are quite a lot of pieces out there that just work best for the intended instrument written for hundreds of years ago...

Thank you, Master Mendelssohn for all your immortal contribution, and for "rediscovering" the long forgotten Bach for all of us. Without his "rediscovery", the much-loved romantic genre would have been very different/impossible.

[mafiotuDC]

fenomenal :)

[zelefant]

Ha hallgatom és a szemem könnyben úszik, az azt jelenti, hogy a lelkem húrjait is megpendítetted.Köszönöm.

[luckystarleo]

This must be the most beautiful combinations of sounds I've ever heard in my entire life. Beyond words and human rational thought.

[RenanViolinist]

Não tem palarvas para dizer a perfeição musical que está essa apresentação!!!!!

congratulation Anne Meyers

[vayolin05]

una interpretacion preciosa

[dorvalina2007]

P.E.R.F.E.I.T.O

[Szotyka]

Brilliant music/Artist, wrong audio quality.. :(

[frankcisyarmi]

anne akiko me encanta su version su sonido y velocidad y color pone una textura hermosa por ende es una de las pocas en su estilo

[joseguti20]

Very well done, her finger just move smoothly and pretty =) and the tone...so amazing.

[iradjhoreh]

Just beautiful music, and awesome playing it by Anne Akiko Meyers

[fluffynamedkimba]

she plays great...i love her emotion...and the tone of her playing. she took liberties that were just perfect!

[alcardes]

I like it! So beautiful

[tuliopcc]

xik

[CLKMah]

awesome. i'm learning this piece right now, its tough! but where's the rest of the 1st movement? lol

[venskus2009]

beautiful

[Sitioespacio]

No es mala interpretación.

[serginholoki]

Kra muito bom mesmo um dia vo ser que nem ela começando na ccb de depois :D seis vao ve

[BubblyViolin11]

this was good but i just don't like her style of playing. it's not that her playing is too soft, it's just light and playful compared to sarah chang's. there were parts where i thought she could have played a bit more legato instead of seperating the nots so much. anne and sarah are both very extremely accomplished musicians, it's just a matter of personal taste here.

[JardelPablo]

and very shanes in curinthas

[WesleyDiulay]

é que Bom que Existe Youtube, Maravilha Amei, um Dia eu serei Bom igual Ela, Um dia serei Grande.

[ClubedoRifle]

exelente, bravo, belissima, apresentaçao, um dia ainda verei tao obra tao magnifica de perto. o que bom que existe youtube ;p

[ToneToneBadone]

ew i hate the beginning of her cadenza

[ss0099218]

I'll leave alone Sarah Chang's fans. But for those who are still undecided, compared to Anne, Sarah sounds more like a mechanic able to produce loud and brilliant sounds on the violin. That's about all. In my opinion, Anne brings more out of this piece than even the greats of bygone age. She beats Heifetz, Sterns, etc., etc.,etc., Call me an Anne diehard fan for all you want........

[babylord91]

I disaggree with you no one can beat Heifetz, Stern etc. etc. ^^

[88namknuF]

I agree

[willXxXcore]

good luck playing that on a viola XD

you'd have to play an octave or two lower

[delauge]

fifth lover, you cant play it octave lower, because you cant play on viola g below C

[Sileeee56]

Wonderful music!

[mnthle]

c'est vraiment magnifique

[peakchua]

shs better than sarah c but the sound quality is bad.

[Violascry]

She plays it really well but Sarah Chang's performance is on an entirely different level. She plays it so much more expressibely! And actually, the orchestra is more expressive too...

I'm trying to learn this on viola right now... it's hard!!! :-) Thanks for posting (helps a lot!)

[jnywestside]

Nice performance. She either nails it or she seems off. In this one she nailed it. The facial expressions aren't as bad in this one as in others either.

[lilywall942]

i love this song but i just cant get it right i always mess up

[RedBeamTR]

excellent 5*****

[DNAPROTEINN]

Center of the classical music moved to Asia.

[MariaAngelina89]

she's fantastic!

[Tomajew]

Mendelssohn, était converti au protestantisme, mais reste tout de même un génie de la musique pour chacun d'entre nous Juifs, et non-juifs.
