Beethoven Violin Concerto, 1st mvt - Noah Bendix-Balgley, APOLLO'S FIRE/J. Sorrell

[@redbrian3655]

I love the diversity of humanity in Apollo's Fire Orchestra; it looks young, stylish, and current even when playing on period instruments. What a gift we have in America in this ensemble.

[@fcovone]

You're absolutely right. :)

Das Spiel von Mr. Bendix-Balgley ist so kultiviert, wie er aussieht. Da stimmt alles. Vielen Dank!

[@mattrombaum5660]

What a fabulous performance Noah and orchestra!

[@galinakrivulin6767]

Lucky browsing to come to this incredible performance by soloist Noah- Bendix Balgley years ago. Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin concerto is never missed by performers. Noah - Bendix Balgley makes it special! Unforgettable sound! Very passionate!

The soul of Beethoven is alive in this recording.

How wonderful the woodwind! so homogenuous. My favourite concerto, favourite orchestra and favourite violinist! Thank you!!

[@jason101other]

Noah is truly such a phenomenal violinist-- he always plays with a very sophisticated and thoughtful style and phrasing. Truly great concertmaster, too-- first of the Pittsburgh Symphony and last few years of the grandaddy of them all, the Berlin Philharmonic.

[@gabriel1chan]

wonderful playing of the soloist and the orchestra.

Wow! This part 21:13 of the cadenza sounds so awesome, I love the effect that he creates there.

Where’s part 2

[@walrus789]

Is this not tuned into 440 hz? Just curious lol it doesn't sound like the concerto I'm familiar with ☺️

[@daniellinhnguyen4528]

No, it was played using historical informed instruments

[@citlallihernandez319]

En una entrevista dijo que estaría afinado 430 hz, 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀 Que difícil tocar así 😛

[@kentahagiwara3006]

Gut strings and everything... it’s very unique

[@francescofgr]

@@daniellinhnguyen4528 The instruments were historically informed? How remarkable to historically inform a violin

[@fcovone]

Amazing performance, thank YOU! As a passionate lover of Beethoven's music, Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61 is one of my favourite. I listened to this concerto so many times over the years both live and at home, but this is definitely one of the best performances I ever heard. Played with fire, passion and LOVE this performance fully reflects and gives back the most authentic spirit of Beethoven. @redbrian3655 I couldn't agree more with you! :)

Which cadenza is this?

[@SunnyKhuranaViolin]

its great that they are doing a historically informed performance. However, it is probably tuned down a quarter tone and because of how long I've been playing violin, I can't listen without getting a headache even though the notes are in tune relative to each other. I am able to listen to historically informed baroque music because it's tuned down a semi-tone so they are still existing notes in modern day notation.

[@jaysparc]

They're playing at A=430ish which is correct for Beethoven's era.

[@larrysher5429]

Beethoven is definitely not her forte. Worse performance I have heard in a long time. Maybe they are tuned incorrectly as mentioned below.

[@nowattabutwatta]

I like the sound very much. However, I I'm not surprised that no one is watching the conductor (have you noticed?). She wouldn't need to be there. A bit weird conducting, she seems to be somewhere else. But all the more I appreciate the team of orchestra, well coordinated.

[@frogmouth]

most of the work of tne conductor is done in rehearsal. The camera isn' t on eyes but I can see quick checks esp on entrances

[@Nazdreg1]

The conductor is perfect. Everyone in the orchestra gets her clues and they respond immediately, you can see that. I played youth orchestra for a few years and what she is doing is fantastic. Sometimes just a glance or a small expression is enough. She and the orchestra are bonded pretty closely though, this isn't true for every conductor/orchestra relationship. If you want to see weird conducting though, watch Emmanuelle Haim. ;)

[@rubbishcomments7269]

Lol orchestra does no justice… absolute garbage compared to the soloist’s level
