Beethoven Violin Concerto-1mov (2/4) Seiji Ozawa& Anne-Sophie Mutter Boston symphony orchestra

[ilprofessore10012]

Too slow? The listener must be deaf or nuts, or a bit of both. One of the most endearing qualities about Mutter's unique playing is how she caresses the notes, nothing more lovely than those long held notes, played piano, to which she adds vibrato. It's a very feminine approach. None of the "my balls are bigger than yours" playing that the BIG GUYS indulge in. She just lets the music carry her with it--that incomprable balance between the male and female that makes Ludwig Ludwig. .

Questo è uno dei concerti preferiti, grande esecuzione.

BUT,

CAN SHE PLAY 'BILE THEM CABBAGE DOWN'?

--No,this is SD-Video Collections site.

Actually this video was recorded in 1989, so there was no HD specification at that time.In case that people encode video (even original video is low resolution) with "over 720p format", YouTube recognizes it is "HD".

The reason why I encode video file with over 720 format is that I want you to enjoy non deteriorated quality on big screen.Sooner many people will watch YouTube on TV.

This is NOT an HD recording as it alleges. Uploading a SD as HD doesn not make it HD.

SD/480 at best. Need to stop this false representation.

Des artistes asiatiques qui ne jouent que des notes? Des noms, SVP!

Faire un tel commentaire alors que Seiji Ozawa dirige la partition orchestrale montre une certaine maladresse et inélégance.

Les temps ont changé, comme partout les artistes asiatiques ont aussi une âme. Il faut se mettre à jour.

Really salute and harmonious, with its main violin virtuoso player, renowned conductor and his orchestra, bringing an eminent Beethoven composed rare. (wijonora)

This a true artist! not like those pretentious asian people that just play the notes

[dropsoffaith]

@ytilibalaiava

haha, word!

[Garpinator]

@ytilibalaiava Racist much?

[Vezinaf]

amazing

[pastrings]

Ozawa is a true artist... a performance is always much more intimate when performed without the score. Mutter is not flashy or glitzy... she just performs how it was supposed to be performed. Great performance. Thanks for posting.

[stickitupyapipe]

@pastrings Sorry, I have to disagree with your opinion regarding Ozawa.. This piece is played far too slowly, almost as if Ozawa is determined to put the audience to sleep. Despite this obvious shortcoming, Mutter still displays her true genius.

[Garpinator]

@stickitupyapipe Mutter likes to play most pieces on the slow side. Ozawa doubtless consulted with Mutter as to the tempo SHE desired before the performance (as most conductors will do for a soloist when conducting a concerto).

[sakkiemekok]

@Garpinator I agree with stickitupyapipe´s post. The piece is far too slow, irrespective of who is at fault. I think what he/she was getting at, is that although it´s slow, Mutter´s technical ability is very evident.
