Brahms | Violin Sonata No. 1 in G major op. 78 - Julia Fischer, Yulianna Avdeeva

[@Bluewhale-k2y]

oh my god!! Brahms No.1 Sonata played by a violinist I really like and a pianist I really like!!! If Julia and Yulianna perform in our country, I can cancel my schedule and rush to the concert. I am so grateful that this world exists where I can watch this performance on video.

[@lorenzoamideo1588]

I was there, one of the most magical and wonderful experience in my life! I've always loved this piece and i wanted to see them both live so when i discovered that they would have played this I knew i couldn't miss this. They were also very kind to sign me the program and we took a photo together, I highly recommend to attend those kind of event to enjoy the wonderful music, the musician's passion and to support them!

[@chriscarson2547]

LOVE this performance! Fischer's violin has a viola's richness, so perfectly matched to the sustained lyricism. My favorite Brahms piece, and these two play it gorgeously.

[@franciscoespinozagamboa6490]

en realidad el instrumento tiene un sonido muy cálido, acentuado por la magnífica técnica de arco de la maestra Fischer

[@zenoky64]

Ms. Fischer is such a wonderful musician. She has such deep understanding of the music. It's a joy to listen to her and Ms. Avdeeva. Thank you.

[@SilvioNobre]

It's Julia Fischer playing Brahms to perfection! 😍

[@michaels7889]

Beautiful balance here between both instruments and personalities.

[@editionprimavista4937]

I always come back to Brahms and his violin sonatas when I am in emotional distress. This is the first time I am listening to Julia Fischer playing this music, and I love her performance very much. Big sound, very expressive, wonderful energetic feeling. A bit faster than other performances I have gotten used to, but it doesn't detract from the beauty and... wholesomeness of the outcome.

[@andreapandypetrapan]

Yes - 💕❤💕 Joanna Brahms (as I call her-him) is one of the most emotionally, psychologically and philosophically grown-up composers. She mush have been a real treat at the dinner table, sarcastic as hell, but full of brilliant remarks and insights, and such a profound and balanced sensibility cascading with both wit and the deepest romantic-sensuous-tragic-transcendental perspectives. Plus a brilliant formal quasi-classical stylist, supreme melodist, stunning harmonic and melodic analyst, with a Bach-level gift for transformation and counterpoint. The first and forth movements of her 4th symphony are page after page of jaw-dropping imagination and perfection. "Romantic wine indeed in classical bottles". Like watching Leonardo and Michelangelo and Bernini and Picasso at work! As with Bach, or Mozart, the better bits of Beethoven, Mahler, later Wagner, Debussy, Berg - there is no gap or distinction between Brahms' musical ideas and their orchestral embodiment. Though my musician string-playing friends say his writing for violins in particular often has a pianistic bias and some fiendish fingering as a result. All quite unlike that hysterical, self-indulgent proponent of "Slavic damnation and despair", the neurotic though very thrilling Tchaikovsky. Love andrea

[@editionprimavista4937]

@@andreapandypetrapan hmmm... Never thought of Tchaikovsky in those terms. But then again, I am more of a Brahms fan, recorder player though I am...

[@richardforshaw8479]

It’s mesmerising how totally calm she is, so that the music can speak for itself. I feel that Brahms first theme is god- given, and that this ‘musical outpouring’ is flowing inextricably to it’s final resting place. In my opinion, this music is truly inspirational and seems to come from somewhere beyond.

[@jamescruz7016]

This is a good example for all piano accompanists. Look at the emotions and at the same time the restraint of the Ms Avdeeva! Violinists we appreciate such as a wonderful detail.

[@seebas89]

Agreed, but wouldn't say this is an "accompanist". The piano part is arguably more complex and at least equally as important the violin part. Some say it should be called Piano and Violin sonata, Brahms himself used to play the piano part.

Actually it's the Brahms Piano and Violin Sonata in G. Brahms doesn't give the piano a break there's no slacking. The pianist Yulianna won the Chopin competition she's also first rate.

[@washingtonferreirateles9451]

We all know that, bro!!! But everyone also knows that nobody listens to a "Sonata for Piano and Violin" for the piano part.

[@petechandanatural]

Most piano accompliment for other instrument's sonata are eazypeezy. Exceptions are Mozart, Beethoveen, and Brahms, and I'm sure there are others.

[@andreapandypetrapan]

[@bosareva]

@@petechandanatural Yes, Schumann!

[@ktorosov2832]

Firstly, it is a chamber music sonata and on the front side it is written "Sonaten Klavier und Violine" and that, in fact, means that piano and violin parts are equal in compositional and artistic terms. And those, who understand this, listen to both. Secondly, there are many chamber sonatas where piano part is incredibly difficult.

[@illililliiiillli]

Julia Fischers Interpretation ist wirklich raffiniert und schön. Ihr Gesichtsausdruck ist kraftvoll und doch sehr zart. Ihr Geigenklang ist voller abwechslungsreicher Töne. Mir gefällt der Auftritt von Julia Fischer am besten, weil mich ihre Musik tiefer berührt als die Interpretationen aller anderen.

[@musicdpk]

Wonderful music played by consummate musicians. I was moved when listening to the first movement. I played this sonata when I was 17 for my ATCL exam. The examiner wrote that he thought I took the final movement too quickly, that he thought it was supposed to have a languid, nostalgic and slightly melancholy feel. The repeated and falling quaver figures in the piano part were reputed to have been portrayed by Brahms as reminiscent of the raindrops trickling down a window during a summertime rainy day. I feel that Ms Fischer takes the final movement at the same tempo that I did, which I find slightly disappointing, like the current tendency of many musicians to play at too fast tempi. Of course she is a major soloist and chamber musician and is one of my favourite violinists. A lot of her music reminds me of Nathan Milstein’s and I’m 99.99 % full of admiration for her playing. I’m a suburban violin teacher and couldn’t perform this piece nowadays.

Юлия очень талантливый человек, ведь она начинала как пианистка, а затем стала заниматься скрипкой, и этот музыкальный инструмент полюбился ей больше. Она ещё преподаёт и организовала свой квартет, КВАРТЕТ Юлии Фишер.

@washingtonferreirateles9451 Actually I have to agree with you, mlle @peterchandanatural . I'm always entranced by Joanna Brahms' piano writing. Indeed my string playing and other orchestral friends say her writing for other instruments is manifestly influenced by her having such a pianistic imagination. Either way, what a genius JB is, and what a pair of supreme instrumentalists are Julia Fischer and Yulianna Avdeeva. If I could even begin to play with their skill and grasp of the music, I would happily die and go to heaven, provided I could meet and chat with Wagner, Brahms, Dvorak, Stravinsky and Mahler and Erich Korngold and Strauss and Willy Walton all day.

[@para1196]

When I hear Julia playing, it sounds almost always like fairy tale Mendelssohn, which is not the appropriate color and style for this piece

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

I just HATE the cresc on 5:57…it destroys completely the diminuendo done before…how can you make SUCH cresc in the most mysterious moment, when NOBODY knows what is coming……it kills it. I really hate that moment. And I am the greatest admirer of Fischer, but this sonata is the worst thing I ever heard from her. Still, she is one of the best 3,4 violinists of the world today. But violinists can be like tenors, sometimes.

[@enochwong654]

Welp, Brahms marked hairpins and that's what they are doing. And no, you can definitely get a hint of what's coming because at 5:57, the violin and piano simply switched their roles of leading and following, with the motive G-F#--G (you get what I mean). It's basically a variation of the previous 8 bars. Also, there's no diminuendo in their performance nor in the score. It's a sudden decrease in dynamics. How would I interpret this part is that the 8 bars before 5:57 should be played as mysterious as possible. After 5:57, the violinist should establish a new idea and develop it clear enough for the pianist to follow or develop even further. I would say it is more of a curious fantasy-like exploration after 5:57. Finally, it is true that a more profound understanding could be developed for this particular sonata. However, they both played extremely beautifully. I was surprised by the colour when I first listened.

[@winrx]

Sounds like she's playing in a monotone throughout when this piece demands color and nuance.....

[@romfiddler]

\Закройте крышку рояля , теряется пропорциональное созвучие , но это упрек не музыкантам , которые явно на уровне , а бездарному звукорежиссеру !

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

I am extremely sorry but the first movement sounds like a WAR, so violent and loud. Its not the character of the piece at all, except in a few passages…but if you play everything so so so loud, thoses passages dont have the dramatic effect. A pity. Brahms is not only power. Leave the power and the violence for the last movement of the third sonata…

[@shupingwang3392]

Unfortunately I agree. These musicians have no mercy with the audience, music, least of all with themselves. Arew they engaged in a serious business ? Yes. Does that need to be displayed sonically, emotively, and affectively ? NO.

[@greggoryrice7046]

No. There is no intimacy whatsover, too much of everything. This is not the Brahms Concerto.
