Josef Suk, Dvorak Violin Concerto (2)

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&ref=mf&gid=57160039583 Josef Suk-Violin, Czech Philharmonic-Václav Neumann. Josef Suk, (8.8. 1929 Prague-7.7. 2011 Prague ) the legendary Czech violinist - also violist, chamber musician and conductor. He is the both the grandson of the composer of the same name and the great-grandson of Antonin Dvorak. In his home country he carries the title of National Artist. The violinist's extraordinary talent was spotted early by Jaroslav Kocian who tutored him until his death in 1950. Suk first appeared on concert platforms at the age of eleven. His Prague debut in 1954 rapidly led to an international career. Before long he was recognized as the heir to the best tradition of the Czech violin school and his 1959 tour with the Czech Philharmonic covered three continents and was one of the greatest expressions of Czech music the world had until then ever heard.In addition to a dazzling career as a soloist, esteemed for his refined tone, deep sense of lyricism (expressed unforgettably for example in his peerless Martinu interpretations) and commitment to the music he plays, he has also shown an extraordinary affinity for chamber music. He was for some years the first violin of the Prague Quartet, and founder of the Suk Trio. This affinity has yielded extraordinary fruits, especially through his partnerships with pianist Jan Panenka and the harpsichordist Zuzana Ruzickova - and from 1973 he was a frequent additional player with the Smetana Quartet, playing second viola. Suk plays on rare instruments built by Antonio Stradivari (1729), Giuseppe Guarneri "del Gesu" (1744) and Giovanni Battista Guadagnini (1758). Josef Suk has had a long and distinguished career in the recording studio, winning the Grand Prix du Disqueno less then six times as well as the Wiener Floetenuhr Prize and the Edison Prize.

R.I.P. Josef Suk (1929-2011), you will be missed!

Kde ten člověk bral výdrž a sílu na to, aby hrál tak precizně? Slyšela jsem už mnoho verzí, ale jedině v téhle slyším poctivě zahraný a procítěný každý tón. Klaním se až k fuseklím.

Fantastic :)

Nobody, I mean, NOBODY comes near to Josef Suk in this piece. Since his Supraphon version was issued over 50 years ago it is a peerless interpretation. His Suk Fantasy from 1965 is, similarly, uniquely perfect.

Thanks for posting this heart-warming masterpiece.

The the way he resolves the low D up to the E flat @ 2:46-2:47 is goooooorgeous that is what we call phrasing boys and girls! I always thought Suk was such an elegant player.
