Dvorak: Violin Concerto 1. Josef Suk

[@macky871]

Josef Suk was my private teachers teacher when he studied in college and i love getting to hear all his wonderful quotes and my teacher is crushed since his death and says that we lost one of the finest not only violinists but men the world will ever see

[@PeterFellin]

Suk's assistant teacher (to Kocian) at The Prag Conservatory was my main teacher Karel Sneberger. On a tour to Sweden, Suk visited Sneberger at his home in Örebro (to where he had migrated and worked as Concertmaster/teacher). And, BTW, Sneberger played solo at Kocian's funeral.

[@glennlie]

Josef Suk has in my humble opinion one of the best interpretations of Dvorak's violin concerto. ( And I have many recordings of this concerto! ) He plays with an elegance and intensity that is in a class of its own.

[@arkazoo4769]

This is the best performance of 1st movement of the Dvorak VC I ever heard and is much better then studio version. That made it for even greater disappointment when the clip cuts out at the end! The same at the 3rd movement, as well as in Suk's Fantasy! It was like watching an intro with a beautiful woman prancing about the field only to have a Mongol warrior suddenly jump from behind to take her head off! If anyone has a full clip of this concert please put it out!

[@johnh6147]

yup. its dvorak's great grandson

[@alaalfa8839]

@@johnh6147 Its his great grandon and plays stradivary. The stradivary is so clean....No wonder it costs 10 mill dollars as they said in some video. They are made of great wood, therefore they have great sound.

[@roystewart4386]

Agree wholeheartedly. This violimnist is a magician at his craft.

[@dominiquedarco8924]

Superbe ,du très très grand violon ,quelle belle sonorité !! Soliste ,orchestre et chef au diapason ,magnifique ,la grande école.

[@glennlie]

He plays with an intensity that creates "musical waves" deep into my soul! Immaculate!

[@violinhunter2]

Suk is a wonderful artist. I wonder how he feels playing his great grandfather's concerto. I would be extremely proud. This is a great combination - the great Czech Philharmonic, and the great Josef Suk. Matchless!!!!

[@alaalfa8839]

He said that he is proud of his grandfather Antonín Dvořák and that his music leaded him on concerts whole life. And that he is greatest composer next to a Mozart.....But actually from the articles is known that Antonín Dvořák like very much Beethoven, Wagner, Mozart, ..of course his dear friend and mentor Brahms, Tchaikovsky..He was inspired by their works.. For example when he heard Serenade for winds by Mozart, he wrote Serenade for winds as well, in this topic. I think they were example for him.He was very close to Schubert´s work, because of his great talent and poverty, he admired very much Schubert and wrote article about him.

Genial!!!!

[@crown3892]

R.I.P , i.m playing this but very difficult

[@MrFpam]

What a strange comment! Tschaikovsky is never rough. Much of his music is sweet and sentimental; all of it is passionate. Dvorak's music is more closely linked to (Czech) folk music. Sober? What about the Slovakian Folk Dances? They are not especially sober, nor in fact is the rest of Dvorak's music. I don't know if he was more sober than Tchaikovsky as a person.

[@alaalfa8839]

Dvořák liked Tchaikovsky the premiere of Eugen Onegin in Prague. He sent him a note that the opera Eugen Onegin impressed him very much. Tchaikovsky also sent him a note that he apreciates his opinion because not only he is great artist but because e is truthful and honest. Dvořák liked other composers. He liked Beethoven Wagner Liszt Brahms and others. Tchaikovsky is also great. They were influenced by their culture in their own country probably.

[@ljiljanastanic9076]

Wonderful💙💙💙💕❤❤❤💖💖

[@Gunnartrackman]

@JaroslavChu i know its romantic!!! It's just that Tchaikovsky's concerto has this heavy peasant-like quality that Dvorak's doesn't. Auer even said that Tchaikosvky's concerto "beats up the violin black and blue"!

[@leoncioviolin]

BRAVO

[@violinoamore]

Not very good recording soundwise - but Josef Suk's rendering of Dvorak s violin concerto is fabulous and unmatched

[@JaroslavChu]

@Gunnartrackman You have compared Dvorak with Tchaikovsky. Dvorak's usic is more abstract. I like both, Dvorak and Tchaikovsky.

[@juzinhanham]

Wow! :D

[@poseuresque]

his bow technique is amazing. not quite russian, but with such a clean, aggressive line. does anyone know who he studied with?

[@vit23745]

Jaroslav Kocián student of Otakar Ševčík

[@JaroslavChu]

@Gunnartrackman This concerto is a part of romantic music, like Tchaikovsky's music, but it is more abstract.

[@Petroschristidis]

fantastic ! Is he playing with his Guadagnini here?

[@Kounov]

No, its stradivari libon.

[@tomatojuice12]

When was this performance? And do you know the orchestra and conductor? Thank you for posting.

[@palmaiattila3288]

Czech Philharmonic, conducted by Václav Neumann at the Prague concert hall Rudolfinum (basis of the CzPh), tv-recorded probably in the (late) 1980s. Dvořák dedicated the concerto to Hungarian violinist József Joachim. The performer here, Josef Suk, was a great-grandson of the composer Antonín Dvořák - and the greatest Czech violinist ever (both soloist and chamber musician), playing unbelievably clean and with excellent elegance and noble pose - he died in 2011.

[@oscoscar1992]

Is he is Dvorak's gransdson?

[@vit23745]

Yes he is

[@carmenortega-marcos6577]

How have you managed this idea?. Tschaikovski was mainly rough. Dvorak was alway first class and a real sober artist.

[@AnakinFranklin]

I like this one better than Tchaikovsky's

[@Gunnartrackman]

@IlluvitarEru this concerto doesnt have the grit and russian heaviness like tchaikovsky's. this concerto is all about smooth power. i agree, i loke dvorak's better but i also love the roughness of tchaikovsky's

[@poseuresque]

never heard of this guy. he's a violinist's violinist. agrressive and sensitive. unequivocal in less fiery passages

[@YNGVIRTUOSOVIOLIST]

I believe he is the son inlaw

[@YNGVIRTUOSOVIOLIST]

Forgive me that is Great Grand-son

Wow. That was such an amazing and clean performance. Is it just me or does his playing seem a bit overly rough at times?
