Bethooven concert-Nigel Kennedy

[@MrNyeingyi]

I used headphone to listen and although the sound comes from only left side , I still love it. Thank you sir.

[@philcruttwell2388]

One of the greatest pieces of music. It was my introduction to classical music by my Dad. It has been my companion through lifes good times and my support during bad times.

[@rainerulbrich3648]

Das Violinkonzert von Beethoven ist zweifellos eines der schönsten Werke der Klassischen Musik insgesamt und genau diese Aufnahme eine der besten Interpredationen die meine Augen je gesehen und meine Ohren je gehört haben. Gänsehaut pur

[@vesnahill444]

My favourite performing artist. What beautiful hands!

[@normanhanna2037]

You are the one that motivated me to play the violin

[@nattie-k8380]

Thanks for posting. My favorite Beethoven’s violin concerto recording since I’d heard it for the first time. Never known the video of it exists. Kennedy looks absolutely being out of this world here but listening to him is such a joy...

[@nadinefrene2816]

Mon violoniste préféré, depuis plus de vingt ans …sublime ce concerto de Beethoven !

[@nadinefrene2816]

Et incomparable interprétation …

sickening cadenzas. badass yet tonally and lyrically rich/ complex, fresh, and complex

Ein sehr guter Geiger. Ich konnte mir leider sein Livekonzert in Berlin nicht anhören, was er neulich gegeben hat. Aber ich las ein lnterview mit ihm in unserer "Berliner Zeitung ". Auch im Interview ist er ein wunderbar ehrlicher Musiker, geradeheraus, ohne irgendwelche eingebildete Allüren. Das haben echte Könner auch nicht , auch viele klassische Musiker sind ganz natürlich. Kennedy hat nur diese erfrischend unkonventionelle Art, was sein Repertoire angeht. Er hört vieles gern, was einem persönlich zu laut oder zu hektisch wäre, aber er ist fair und lässt verschiedene Musik und verschiedene Vorlieben nebeneinander bestehen. Das gefällt mir, und da denke ich ähnlich. Sein Auftreten ist genauso erfrischend unkonventionell wie seine Musikvorlieben. Weil Jimi Hendrix vor meiner Zeit viel gehört wurde und ich nicht damit gross geworden bin, musste ich mal reinhören. Nicht unbedingt meine persönliche Musik, wieder das Problem mit der Lautstärke, aber die Musik ist schon gekonnt gemacht. Ich höre lieber das Konzert von Beethoven, das ist entspannender, und ich bin auch sicher nicht so rebellisch, aber Kennedy hat in manchem davon schon recht, was er am etablierten Klassikbetrieb so kritisiert, wie z. B. oft zu akademisch, auch oft mit Vorurteilen gegen die sogenannte U-Musik behaftet usw. Das macht mich nachdenklich. Ich habe zwar auch studiert, finde aber dieses arrogante Herabsehen auf alles Unskademische auch ziemlich dumm. Wie Kennedy. Schön, ihn zu sehen und zu hören!

[@susannestechow3651]

Jimi Hendrix ist einer von den Musikern, Jimi Hendrix ist einer von den Musikern, dessen Stücke er auch noch eingespielt hat. Ja, Stücke von dem Gitarristen aus den späten 1960er Jahren. Eine völlig andere musikalische Welt als Beethoven. Aber bei Kennedy hat eben viel sehr Verschiedenes nebeneinander Platz. Das ist das Erstaunliche und auch das Erfrischende.

[@susannestechow3651]

Zur Erklärung für Leute, welche Kennedy vielleicht noch nicht so kennen: Kennedy hat auch Songs von Jimi Hendrix eingespielt. Ja, von diesem Gitarristen aus den späten 1960ern.

[@susannestechow3651]

dessen Stücke Kennedy auch gespielt hat, neulich in Berlin mit einer Bluesband. Die habe ich auch nicht gehört.

The best version of this Concerto on earth. No wonder it is copyrighted by EMI.

[@leestamm3187]

The date of this concert was June 12, 1992, with Klaus Tennstedt conducting the NDR Orchestra at the Alte Schloss in Kiel, Germany. The program opened with Beethoven's Coriolan Overture, followed by the Violin Concerto. After the intermission, Brahms Symphony 1 closed the show.

[@arturtarnowski4023]

Who did these artificial quiet spots? Unnecessary. And they play beautiful

[@leestamm3187]

Wonderful performance. For Tennstedt fans, like me, there's a terrific 1989 video of this piece on KZbin, of Kyung-Wha Chung soloing with Tennstedt conducting the Concertgebouw. Interesting to compare the interpretations of Kennedy and Chung. I find both very moving.

[@sergej45]

Perfect!

[@magdalenaportmann2431]

Wonderful! it's as if the music was playing him!

[@magdalenaportmann2431]

I love his stillness.

[@cdm1003]

I'm humbled. I haven't listened to Nigel Kennedy for more than 30 years, having dismissed him as an overrated poser and being fed up with hearing him play Vivaldi. But now I realise how wrong I was. This is sublime and it is such a shame that he rarely (ever?) plays classical music nowadays. He was so talented and if he still has the talent I hope he continues to share.

[@leestamm3187]

In case you haven't heard them, he did a fine Brahms VC with Tennstedt and the LPO in 1990. Also excellent Bruch VC1 and Mendelssohn VC with the English Chamber Orchestra in 1987.

[@cdm1003]

@@leestamm3187 I haven't but I'll look them up. Thanks!

[@tjfamily9263]

This is an amazing performance and I have it on CD. The reason that the sound goes in and out is interesting. This KZbin recording clearly came from a duped VHS tape originally. Back in the 1990s (when VHS was new and 'king') they had to stop people from duping VHS tapes. They came up with a unique system where the sound would pulse in-and-out when you duped a VHS tape so that it became very unpleasant experience and you'd have incentive to buy the VHS new. This recording must be from a "duped" VHS tape so the sound fades at times. I will admit that I have listened to this recording 1000 times. It mesmerizes me. I run with it constantly.

[@j1a2v3e4]

thank you. I have been so intriqued by this upload, the conducter I thought was Kurt Sandeling but I agree it could absolute be Klaus Tennstedt, I am not sure about the orchestra and the 90's absolute he, Nigel Kennedy was in Copenhagen in the 90's and performed the Concerto by Beethoven. He looks much to young to be in 2016.

[@tjfamily9263]

You can buy the CD. It is splendid. Best conduction of them all. It has toughness and power and pace.

[@giodiacqua]

Wonderfull interpretation...

[@WolfgangRaupach]

Eines der schönsten Violinkonzerte von Beethoven mit einem begnadeten Künstler. Leider schlechte Tonqualität der Aufnahme. Nur ein Kanal links.

[@treenelson4063]

Quite the Bethooven virtuoso!

[@benedictefriedmann6380]

❤️❤️❤️

[@MrMoguer]

Could you please give some information about the recording? When and where? (The conductor being Klaus Tennstedt and, hence, the Orchestra probably the NDR Symphony Orchestra). Thanks in advance!

[@Hamoshekabeka]

Reimar Huber Beethoven concert for violin and orchestra 1992. It was recorded in Germany. I hope that helps.

[@fentonhouse4567]

is this the same recording as what appears on the 1992 'invisible man' album?

[@johntaylor1953]

Yes it is.

[@marlowemarlowe4893]

Shame about that one wrong note. But apart from that it was a great performance by Nigel.

[@upanddown8199]

How can he play hunching his shoulder up like that? and why?

[@valentinrogina7703]

listen again, you failed

[@magdalenaportmann2431]

As you can hear, he clearly CAN play! And I cannot see any haunched shoulder....

[@erikwhitesides]

13:50 or so you can see it from the side angle. i've always wondered how he could play like that. in general this is not how the average person's posture should be when playing, but somehow he adapted to it.

[@SamuraiKidMusic]

@@erikwhitesides You're taught not to...but I play that way too, haha

[@raylotfi1318]

Bethooven Violin concerto, nice rated after Mendelson , same level as Tchaikovsky

[@trevorpsy]

Really? Where do you place Berg's violin concerto?

[@Ickguenthrasil]

Beethoven is probably the hardest concerto for the violin lbh

[@Happyheart146]

Who says?

[@tamarasheen159]

Because he is listening to his instrument and " feeling " the music stop looking and listen Nigel plays from his heart and soul not from his head a total natural genius xxx

[@office_683]

beethoven..please
