Anne-Sophie Mutter--"Devil's Trill" 2/2

[aimson]

Very good. Well played! She certainly has integrity, which is more than I can say for most modern violinists I hear these days. 

[wingklow]

If you are a violin player you would realize how difficult this piece is, and you would appreciate Anne-Sophie Mutter's artistry.

[MrDvdelft]

Vanessa was just having some fun...



[SladeKatakari]

mmmm...in my personal opinion this was soulless and quite terrible although she gets points for playing it correctly at least

[cumbrianruss]

@SladeKatakari Soulless. I see. You're making a joke about the Devil's Trill. It is the only sensible interpretation of this comment.

[SladeKatakari]

@cumbrianruss You only hear the music nothing else.

[cumbrianruss]

@SladeKatakari Thank you for reiterating my point.

[candy453]

the second half is my favorite part, i just wish it was louder so you can hear the soft playing as well

[GGrindelwald]

yami no matsuei :)

[violinhunter2]

Except for her Beethoven concerto, I have never heard Mutter play better. Thank you Penderecki12.

[seahyimin]

her left hand has insane stamina

[BBRENTTAGHAPP]

@kusokosla omg i can't believe mutter has been in that many relationships, goodness! she's giving classical musicians bad reps! :(

[michrigan]

This is a response to Lolipop. Music is a passion for me. When I hear something I really like and haven't heard before I just have to find it on YouTube or on recordings. I recognize certain people who I believe have good taste in music and may have more depth and breadth of taste than I do, and I use their opinions, but I judge on my own ear alone. I love the comments on YouTube because they are more honest than just about anywhere and have bought music based on those comments. See my favorits

[mabdulqadeer]

@all

are we here to listen to the music or talk about the violinist's affairs?

[michrigan]

I am not seeking to refute Kusokosla, nor am I looking for proof. I totally deny his right and belief that being a musician at any level of skill gives him any special insight or knowledge of music that qualifies him to give advice to others. Usually being a musician DISqualifies an individual because one is concentrated on technique, style, theory and conventional wisdom of the field on what is accepted or not. Classical music of any society is ALWAYS less interesting than its folk tradition.

[SFT24]

@kusokosla Of course it is. Lol, what an inane remark. Would you prefer I utter YOUR opinion as opposed to my own?

[SFT24]

@kusokosla You are a joke, and any fair-minded person who reads your posts can tell.

[michrigan]

Dear Kusokosla, I don't care how long your have played or how good you are. Musicians, especially classical ones, have some of the worst taste in what music is good. They like technique over emotion and passion. Virtuosity is not the heart of music, it is the soul. How dare you devalue the soul of this obviously great musician! --especially for a bunch of snob males.

[michrigan]

@michrigan Sorry, I trust my own ear not yours or those of any self-described high-level players. And as for experts and undereducated people I have heard more music than you ever dreamed existed. For example at the University of Chicago workshop I witnessed a musical illiterate who couldn't even play a scale on his kaval (flute) give instructions to a classically trained flute player. Do you know anything about the Pontic lyra, or the klarino that is the heart of music in Epirus? The kemence?

[SFT24]

@michrigan Don't waste your time arguing with this Youtube troll 'kusokosla'. Some people simply discredit themselves and are in no need of further refutation by others.

[lolipop3859]

@michrigan I'm not saying I'm an expert of sorts, but as you've described...it sounds as if you're to call yourself an expert on the subject, as if your opinion stands over all. Please do remember that not all should appeal to the same music nor do all know as much as I asume you do. Also note that from the tone of the writing, it sort of makes you sound rather.. in worse vocabulary a 'tight-ass'. Though I'm not aware of the situation, please forgive me if I mistook your intentions.

ムターの若いころの録音を見られるのは貴重だが、解像度が低いの­が残念！

[rendilkraesin]

As a NON-violin player, I would comment from the audience. Ms. Mutter is clearly a great player, but this performance left me out. She is playing to her violin, not to me. It should be a dreamy yet semi-mad and almost violent piece that sucks me in and endangers my soul, but I just see lady who is good at the violin. As wonderful as the technique is, I feel left out. This is why more people would rather watch Jimmy Page play guitar than all the "traditional" violinists in the world. Grok?

[stacymovie]

@kusokosla you obviously haven't heard a lot of Anne play

[Amarynthine]

holy shit this is SO GOOD

[xalopablop]

Acabo de violar a su Violín!

[BiggerBadderViolist]

@kusokosla why not post your wonderful playing here if you are so great? If you really think that she is so modern you are not very in touch with the violinists these days. They have no personality. She is unique and while you may not like her, she has more colors and characters to her playing than you could ever dream of having. I agree that the "Golden Age" players were great, I own the complete recordings of Heifetz, Elman, and Oistrakh. Mutter is fantastic too fool. Show your playing...

[BiggerBadderViolist]

@kusokosla wow you are an idiot. Her Vibrato control rapes Heifetz's. It's not all about fastest, highest, and loudest. And she is more old school than anyone her age. Listen to her Sibelius concerto, by far the best recording of that concerto.

[andreasamati]

@BiggerBadderViolist Hey asshole, don't compare this ho to Heifetz ever. Thank you.

[123must]

geat! Thank you very much.

[jorsitoh]

Parece que esta tocando brahams!!!!!!! rayos!

[Gnaeus1]

What a graceful woman, and so much passion.

[kaminskiian]

vanessa mae modernized this too much :(

[AmericanHitman]

@kaminskiian Vanessa Mae's version made me laugh out loud when the techno track came blasting in.

[OculusDraconis]

yep still love this
