Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) - Violin Concerto in A minor BWV 1041

[jansumi]

She always leaves me in awe anyway, but the perception of speed might be more from the orchestra here. I love Gergiev too, but i think in this case there's some dimension lacking that makes it seem rushed. At faster speeds the rhythmic lilt really needs even more emphasis to give it enough breathing space. That said - hair-splitting, y'know..? <:

i take that back, kennedy plays faster than this

[violindin]

dare i say, same speed as nigel kennedy plays it. im sure some people here would hate the comparison... but im just only talking about the speed.

Elegant,Wunderschön und hell glänzend wie ein Super Diamant,wenn wir betrachten wurden,dass sie mit 13-14 Jahren schon H.V.Karajan überzeugt und im Staunen versätzt hat,das Wunderkind und Violin Genie,dass immer alle Zuschauer und Zuhörer begeistert und in puren Euphorien versätzt hat,mich hat sie von allem ersten mal begeistert und für mich ist A.Sophie-Mutter die Mutter aller Geigerinen bzw Violinisten,sie ist schon jetzt eine Legende und wohl Immer eine Legende bleiben,Danke theprof1958.

Beautiful, Wonderful!

Usually, I prefer authentic performances on period instruments but I love this! Anne Sophie Mutter is amazing and brilliant!

too fast !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vonMohl]

Praise God for this music, nothing can top the version by David Oistraikh and his brother. Nothing, not even Frau Mutter with her feminine handsomeness.

If I could write like J. S. Bach and play like Anne-Sophie Mutter, I would not care what the critics said or did ever, sublime!

[whiteshark963]

The most beautiful sound of my life. She's the Cecilia Bartoli from Violon <3<3

[w0wt3kg0s]

It is a really good recording but I think she was playing way too fast. Good job anyway!

[VERITS99]

@w0wt3kg0s >I think she was playing way too fast.

Je ne suis pas de cet avis (= I don't think so.):

1er movement - Allegro 3:29

2eme movement - Andante 6:35

3eme movement - Allegro Assai 3:14.

I think the second movement is too slow, even for "Andante". Schroeder with the AAM play this in 5:06 and they don't sound too fast.

@DoctorWho1983 Damn right! The King of (Ba)ROCK!!! :3 Love playing this on my violin :D

[malcolmcolemann]

It's good to have the option to listen to music in one file, as opposed to several files, which often as not one has to hunt around for. Cheers.

[DoctorWho1983]

YEA!!! One of favorites from the King of Rock, BACH!

[astrogirl1231]
