wow i'd love to hear you play the classical piece i wrote. its on youtube. its copywritten but she is awesome, a prodigy, and i'd absolutely love to hear my music played on the violin.
@koedma , Once, in Chicago I attended a performance of a Mahler symphony by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and in the midst of a serenity slow movement an asshole started coughing loudly and kept doing so for a good 3 minutes. No one in the audience budged and I was rather young then. Now I would go over to the asshole and probably move him physically out myself.
@freeqwerqwer i here of a "club" or somthing like that were its mebers do things like cough and make nosie as such. if any onw knows more pleese let us music respecting pepole know
Magnificent.This girl is an eximious great master of the violin.It's one the most technichal perfect playings of violin concert of Tchaikovsky.Thanks,many thanks.
she's improved greatly her technique over the years but i must say this performance of her younger self is still one of her bests; it's so refreshing, straightforward and honest.
im not saying its wrong... im just saying i like the 1st part played a little bit slower... if you listen to oistrahks begining i prefer it at around that tempo to build a more dramatic enter...
@yellotheemcee I thought some bastard was going to fall off his perch, fucking twat. It spoiled what was a really enjoyable performance.
Glad I wasnt the only one to pick up this dickhead. It doesnt matter to what concert you go to, some shit has to spoil it. Thanks for putting my mind at rest. I thoght it was just me.
Tchiakowsky wrote only 1 concerto for violin. Beethoven wrote only one as well. Mendelsohn wrote only two, and so did J. Brahms. These works are thought to be the definitive works for violin though, and will never be equalled.
Is it me or is the end of this concerto really anticlimactic and unsatisfying? I enjoy this concerto so much and it's one of my favorites in the violin repertoire, but it would be so much more rewarding if Tchaikovsky had written a more satisfying ending for it. Every time I hear the end of it, I frown and it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
it is a fact that asian parents do push their kids to the limits, but that is to extend their borders. even if the kids don't like music when they're young because they were forced by their parents to learn the instrument, most will start to like it at a more matured age. when that time comes, they will improve more on their musicality at their own accord. i don't think thats a bad thing at all.
The best way however is when the child itself has the love for music from start. And actually that can also be reflected in the way they perform and deliver in higher ages.
pushing to the limit while young.... doesn't mean you become mechanical. The fact is most Asians artists are musical.... and playing such concertos in such a young age is beyond ordinary. Enjoyment is subjective. Why dont you just enjoy whatever level you have in playing musical instruments!
oh but i do enjoy hte level i play at, infact i have been invited for a scholarship audition for Juliard music school. I myself am asian, and i have witnessed too many asians that have been pushed to practice by their parents.
you are young and have not come to realizeation that you do not have to put others down to make yourselflook good. There are only a few in the world who can even play this piece well enough to perform it. Be happy for her accomplishment.
as far as suwanai is concerned, her parents didn't push her too much seemingly. she wanted to learn violin by herself when she was 2 years old according to an interview on youtube (watch?v=EXPRjr0eAfs), which is in japanese with no sub though.
There's no point to arguing with you, but I meant that in the 20 or so yrs since this was filmed, she has probably gotten better--and mastered that technique.
So you telling her what she needs to work on doesn't apply because this was so long ago and because she won't see what you wrote.
I'm sure you're COMPLETELY qualified to judge this competition.
although you sound really qualified and all, what with not knowing the name of the technique you criticized, the bottom line is that suwanai is now more than twice the age she was in this vid so your advice doesn't apply.
but go find her and maybe give her a lesson. she might enjoy that. especially since she probably still sucks without your advice.
From looking at her fingering, it does look/sound like an open E.
I think it's also good to note that for recordings, the mic is placed very close to the violin/soloist thus extraneous noises can often be heard in an recording where in a concert hall, you don't hear any of those noises
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I must agree..despite most of the piece being flawless in terms of technical skill, she is too focused on playing the right note rather than enjoying the piece and putting feeling into it. Go watch Perlman's or Sarah Chang's (the one where she was a teenager) and then compare it to this. Their rendition is far better because they enjoy the music.
Your are great violinist. I been play for about 3 years and struggling, practice two or three hours day and i'm in my 33years. I didn't have chance to take lesson as young due to childhood circumstances. I get frustrated due to not getting results. How do you get so good what do I need to improve myself. I'm doing it all on my own now. I had teacher but they weren't right ones.
the only thing I do not like about suwanai is that she is so focused. It doesn't really seem like she enjoys playing, no feeling in her style it sounds superficial, good, but lacking a unique quality. I will say, regardless of my personal opinions she is a phenomenal violinst.
You guys who complain that Akiko is "too focused" or "too mechanical" don't know what you are talking about. So is Heifetz not too focused? Heifetz is EVERY bit focused on his playing. And he believes in mechanical practices too. The point is that some of you just don't like the way Akiko looks. Preposterous.
Having read all the posts for this performance I have to say that unless you CAN NOW or EVER HAVE played as well as she did in this performance then you have NO right to criticize either her posture or technique...and yes, I too, am a violin teacher and professional performer for over 30 years, in case that really makes a difference.
"She needs to relax her bow arm"-tubman66 you crack me up! She has one of the most awesome, effortless 'spiccattos' in the known universe! Just listen to those flawless, leaping acsending double-stops at 4:50 and in the coda around 9 min and talk to me about bow arms. BTW I'm also a player/teacher...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
she plays like a robot...I am also concerned her posture will cause her back problems in the future she needs to relax her bow arm a bit and she bends at the waist leaning into the violin...which will lead to back problems before she is 30..I am a violin teacher
Wow, your'e kidding right? Did you watch this with the sound turned off? This is one of THE MOST exhilarating, natural and free performances of this work I ever heard. You are making the mistake of expecting her physical gestures, expressions etc to mirror the wonderful music she is making. She has a formidable Zen-like composure which is allowing the real fire of the music to come through, there is so much maturity here and absolutely nothing superfluous in her playing. Turn off your monitor!
This is one of the most brilliant violin concertos of all. How can you think that? Tchaikovsky is a genious and this concerto is simply out of this world.
I think you really have to admit, whatever your tastes, that it really gets your heart pumping!? I could hardly stay firmly seated watching this. Gotta love Tchaik.
Bravo bravo to this young woman, whoever she is! It takes so much skill and fortitude to play the Violin Concerto and she did it! Thank you for posting this!
her interpretation is satisfactory, and she plays with great gusto. She could try to pause a little more and breathe, really feel this piece. She definitely has talent, and this preformance is quite polished. With just a little more work at expressing what she would really try to convey with this piece, she could be a true master of the violin!
I do not mean to deflate what is obviously a compliment, but babies are born not even able to uphold their own heads...the fact is, it takes roughly 10,000 hours of work to become an expert at something (I am sure Ms. Suwanai has put that in, and then some).
The only thing the performance leaves to be desired, in my opinion, is a more steady tempo in the fast parts.
she has talent, i really like her rendition of the paganini. amazing technique. However i dont like her version of this concerto. I think she takes the pace slightly too fast, as if it is rushed, and the sortie loses its tone because of this. Nice performance none the less.
I'm playing this at the moment in my youth oirchestra, and it's lovely to be able to see it from the front! as an oboist you can't see much of what the violinist is doing! her interpretation i think is very special,but it's a bit depressing for us other young musicicians - she's so good!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
absolutely idioticly awfull...and fucken borring...what is impresive here??? just like fucken evryone...and this little girl won Tchykovskiy? hm....funny...
Akiko is one of the "best" winners of the tchaikovsky competition so far and most seem to agree with that as do I. Even if this weren't that specially for the tchaik comp thers no way this could be idiotically awfull nor boring. and what's impressive is that she's 16/17 when she won
This is so flawless, expressive, lyrical & sublime. Listened to so many performances by numerous renowned artistes but nothing compares with this. Some artistes have that 'tortured' look when playing this piece. Others sound impressive & exciting but strain & bore on extended listening. But this, this is so right in tempo & tonality, so emotionally involving & communicative. Seem so effortless & relax...
she would be called a performer only because she standing on a stage - other than that, she's no performer

I think you really have to admit, whatever your tastes, that it really gets your heart pumping!? I could hardly stay firmly seated watching this. Gotta love Tchaik.

Bravo bravo to this young woman, whoever she is! It takes so much skill and fortitude to play the Violin Concerto and she did it! Thank you for posting this!

her interpretation is satisfactory, and she plays with great gusto. She could try to pause a little more and breathe, really feel this piece. She definitely has talent, and this preformance is quite polished. With just a little more work at expressing what she would really try to convey with this piece, she could be a true master of the violin!

I do not mean to deflate what is obviously a compliment, but babies are born not even able to uphold their own heads...the fact is, it takes roughly 10,000 hours of work to become an expert at something (I am sure Ms. Suwanai has put that in, and then some).
The only thing the performance leaves to be desired, in my opinion, is a more steady tempo in the fast parts.

she has talent, i really like her rendition of the paganini. amazing technique. However i dont like her version of this concerto. I think she takes the pace slightly too fast, as if it is rushed, and the sortie loses its tone because of this. Nice performance none the less.

wow beautiful, i can play this concerto but not as clear as she did. I'll keep practicing ! 5 stars!

I'm playing this at the moment in my youth oirchestra, and it's lovely to be able to see it from the front! as an oboist you can't see much of what the violinist is doing! her interpretation i think is very special,but it's a bit depressing for us other young musicicians - she's so good!

Akiko is one of the "best" winners of the tchaikovsky competition so far and most seem to agree with that as do I. Even if this weren't that specially for the tchaik comp thers no way this could be idiotically awfull nor boring. and what's impressive is that she's 16/17 when she won

This is so flawless, expressive, lyrical & sublime. Listened to so many performances by numerous renowned artistes but nothing compares with this. Some artistes have that 'tortured' look when playing this piece. Others sound impressive & exciting but strain & bore on extended listening. But this, this is so right in tempo & tonality, so emotionally involving & communicative. Seem so effortless & relax...
