Schumann: Violin Concerto | Isabelle Faust and the Freiburger Barockorchester

[@frahan3]

I can't help but be moved, cry for the beauty of this masterpiece, enjoy every touch of the orchestra, feel the radiant soul that Schumann embodied. Thank you for sharing this to the world!!!

[@joselopes2293]

This violin concerto composed by Schumann is a masterpiece of harmony and delicacy. The violin solos are wonderful and fully framed in romanticism of the period. Isabelle Faust is an amazing violinist, for the delicacy, virtuosity and magnificent sound she extracts from the instrument. This violin concerto is a pearl of this romantic period for its fabulous and incredible beauty. Viva the music of Schumann. The direction and the orchestra are flawless. Thanks for the magnificent recording and the fantastic moments of pleasure it gives us.

I came across this concerto - performed by Yehudi Menuhin - on a morning concert, sometime in mid-1960s, on BBC's Radio Three. I was in my mid-teens and it held my attention even then, when I was relatively new to listening to classical music. I have heard it live just once - an amateur performance some 15 years ago - and I love it still.

[@mertnecati875]

It was one cold winter day in Salzburg and I was at a friend's place, drunk, a bit high then I left to catch last train to Hallein. It was only 10 mins road but I fell asleep at the train and opened my eyes on a station far from home. It was too cold and dark to bike back, I decided to spend 3-4 hours at the station and wait for the first train, put my headphones and started to listen to radio. Then I heard this concerto for the first time in my life, a lady announced it is the next piece, hmm meh from Schumann?? A composer I respect but not really like much (I feel far from aesthetics of Romanticism, I love everything about Baroque).. I've started to listen this concerto, I liked it so much, I was so shocked how somewhat odd it is compared to other romantic concerti also and it was such great 30 minutes in middle of silence on a winter's night. Then I kept listening and listening it on next months, and now I am more than happy to see there is an authentic recording of it by Freiburg Baroque, this is an INCREDIBLE recording, I love how ''meaty'' strings sound, triple more meaningful timpani part compared to all other modern recordings/how direct brass sounds, how Mrs Faust interprets it incredibly and how nothing is exaggerated in no way. Thank you very much for making this possible! Salutes from İzmir/Turkey. :*

Every morning, when I get up, my first routine I do is to play music. Sometimes, I just click the one KZbin recommends. As you did, I also thought Schumann? But I clicked. Cause I loved the one it picked yesterday: Auf dem wasser zu sigen by Schubert. Like you, I am moved by her performance. I like your understanding of this classial piece.

[@pascalqinion8636]

So weird to see this comment pop up cause I'm living in Salzburg since 3 years and also listening to this concerto at 1:30 am... Are you me or am I you?

[@DByers-ci5kr]

I had no idea Schumann wrote a concerto for violin & orchestra despite enjoying classical music since around 1972. The more I listen to it, the more I love it. The intensity of the first movement. Marvelous!

[@tedladewski6359]

This performance is a revelation. I first heard Schumann's concerto in a live 1963 WTTW broadcast with Szeryng. I loved it, got the music and started working on it. I've heard it many times, but never like this. I realize that, as much as I loved this piece, I have misunderstood it, as have many others, including those who have tried to "fix" it. This is not a showpiece, and the rest of us trying to make it one were making a mistake. Faust and the FBO approach this as an intimate chamber work expressing Schumann's deepest emotions. Second movement m27-29 seemed clumsy until hearing them in this performance (18:45-19:05). What once seemed an unconvincing transition to the last movement becomes (20:55-21:20) a clear representation of Schumann's recovery from the inexpressible emotional state of the second movement to his recovery in the third. The connection between the last and middle movement is crystal clear, helped by the tempo, the balance and, in particular here, the use of gut strings and period instruments. Words don't work well here. This performance needs to be heard sitting down in a quiet place.

[@gsm2424]

This has to be the best performance of this very underrated, and difficult piece ive ever heard. Ms. Faust control of the bow and her tone and phrasing is beyond words. Both soloist and orchestra sounded like one single instrument, the tone of gut strigs is the most natural and "human" for my taste, the violin sound was melted with the orchestra. The only thing I can say is THANK YOU!

[@mosheknoll1603]

I am grateful to all artists who take it upon themselves to perform the music of Schumann's last period. This particular performance brings out vividly the inner sense of impending doom that Schumann felt during those last few years, knowing as he did, that his mental universe was in the process of collapse. And yet, the bard still could find within himself angelic music flowing from a heavenly source: There are precious moments of serenity in which Der Dichter accepts his destiny with equanimity.

[@AxmihaMeuSaco]

I didn't know isabelle Faust. What a fantastic musician. Bravo a lot! And the orchestra...oh la la!

[@AxmihaMeuSaco]

This orchstra is one of the best I've heard in my 58 years. The sound, the play, dynamics, tempos, everything absolutely ....well, if not perfect, as close to perfect as possible. It's just right. Today everything is "great", but this orchestra is outstanding. Every time I come here I'm impressed again and again. It reminds me what "playing music" is, was, or should be. The sound.....the sound!! Is it the instruments d'époque? Just fantastic. Thank you for existing! And that goes to Isabelle as well.

[@stephengreen7083]

Whether or not he was ill, Robert Schumann nevertheless produced a real gem. It absolutely deserves to be as widely known and performed as Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn, Bruch, Brahms and others. I should add that I feel much the same way about Dvorak's fantastic violin concerto.

[@Judymontel]

Totally agree.

[@gordonthompson5878]

Not to mention the neglected concertos by Nielsen (as good as the Sibelius) and Glazunov.

[@davehshs651]

Interpreting music through the lens of a composer's "mental illness" is pretty much subjective. It could easily be argued that Beethoven was mentally ill in his last years, even though he was not officially diagnosed. His masterpiece, the Ninth, was composed then.

[@jaysloane]

The soloist's care and sensitivity in extracting every morsel of music out of this score is impressive. It is the best I've heard. The orchestral treatment is unusual, particularly with the finale in keeping chamber music intimacy and not trying to compete with 19th century dynamics. Whether Schumann intended this approach or not, all together it sounds more sane and inventive than the way the concerto was first described. Glad to have listened.

[@MrInterestingthings]

The slow movement is gorgeous - really made me think of Brahms-gorgeous solo cello in the beginning . Menuhin was right about this music whatever his reaons for playing it ! the 2nd movement immediately reaches toward one ! Though this will never become the audience favorite the piano concerto is the 9th minute drew tears from me . If ou spend time with this music it will affect you . Something torments almost every page here . I'm beginning to get this late Schumann . So much else he wrote at the end immediately wraps one this takes longer .

[@CeliaFowles]

I enjoyed the music for a few reasons. You can hear its the person who wrote the spring symphony, Rhenish symphony, scenes of childhood and the 4th symphony... This filled me with excitement. I have not been well, and it calmed me down, this violin concerto. Thanks to all the musicians.

[@ChrisBreemer]

I had never heard this concerto, and it's quite a revelation. I would not say it's a consistently strong work, there are some weaker moments I think. but some of the themes and instrumental details are of great beauty. How Joachim could have been so dismissive about it I cannot understand.

That's not a Baroque performance. This is performed on a violin in 19th-century setup, with the gut strings which were used well into the 20th century. Likewise, although it's the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, they're playing on 19th-century instruments or replicas thereof. Look at the length of the fingerboards on the string instruments, the 19th-century bows, the valves on the horns and trumpets, all the keys on the woodwinds. The orchestra is the size of most German orchestras of the mid (and even later) 19th century - and vibrato was NOT the norm for orchestral players. Even its too-frequent use by soloists was condemned by Joseph Joachim and Leopold Auer.

[@Violinlesson-Venice]

Interpretazione memorabile di un concerto meraviglioso

[@knd1940]

Isabelle Faust plays with great sensitivity and nuance, more so than other performances on YT. In my original posting I went on to say that to my ears the baroque violin doesn't have the warmth or power to fully capture the romantic sensibility of this concerto. But after listening to it again, better prepared for the absence of lushness, I think it works very well indeed. It's now my preferred version.

[@andreas_guarnerius8274]

コンサートマスターの弾き方や受け止め方が、実に見ていて気持ちがいい。保身に走らず、ファウストに合わせながら、きっちりと受け止めて、音楽的表現をしようとしているところも、見逃せないところである。世の中には、ダレきったコンマスが多く見受けられるが、彼女の立ち向かった姿を見ると、安心感が出てくる。菅のお兄さんがトスをするシーンも、オーケストラワークが見ていて楽しい。病後のシューマンの作品という、因縁のいわくつき作品を、明るく熱意を持ってオーケストラがカバーしている点も、好感度が高く、作品以前のシューマン、が自然のなかを散歩する姿を、彷彿とさせる音楽的な豊かさ、作品を楽譜で見ると、そこまで病気だの、キチガイだの、とか言われるけれども、下記のコココさんの偏見的な意見は無視して、楽譜のなかでは、はっきりとシューマンは、明晰なシューマンで、端正な筆致であるように感じられる。 トゥルテを使っているから、いいにちゃいない、という意見は、ちょっと的外れな気もしなくともない。が、ペカット、サルトリー、リュポでも十分だし、バロック弓でも、ファウストなら、なんでも、使いこなせちゃうので、トゥルテだから、ええねん、という意見は、多少、見地が低いようにも感じる。 ついでに申し上げると、ドミナントでなければならない必要もないし、お構いなしに、ガット弦で、ついでに、ちょっと扱いの難しいトゥルテってわけで、バロック弓でも、ファウストなら熟せる、というのがぼくの意見です。 加えて、バロックオーケストラの、やる気満々なところも、評価が高く、作品のネガティヴな一面から、新解釈に発展した作品になっているのおもうのです。

[@iggyreilly2463]

A flawed work but Schumann reaches such transcendence that it hardly matters. The development of the first movement always brings tears to my eyes as does the other-worldly slow movement. It's as if he had finally stopped struggling and had begun the process of finally letting go.

[@DavidSmith-kc4hz]

Often heard this being flawed yet no one can ever explain just where it is flawed. I've known it for fifty years, though never played it myself, and still cannot find any flaws so isn't it about time that this false theory is dropped along with that equally useless comment that Heifetz is cold yet produces searingly heated tones in many variations.

[@iggyreilly2463]

@@DavidSmith-kc4hz The coda and cadential material in the first and third movements, the non-idiomatic writing for the solo instrument, much (not all) of the orchestral writing is typically thick and colorless, the soloist is too often relegated to the low and middle of their range (same in Schumann's violin sonatas), ... Despite my misgivings, I love the piece. Even at his most troubled, Schumann could write wonderful music and that is one measure of his genius. Sorry you find comments that disagree with your own opinions so threatening, such that you have to dismiss them as 'false' w/out even considering why someone might hold them. If you're not interested in why, why ask or even respond if you're so sure they're unworthy of consideration? You must have a hard time on social media. Happy listening.

[@michaelstearnesstearnes1498]

It's not necessary to be crazy to be a great artist. But it helps.

[@alanrobertson9790]

Saying the obvious but there is no right and wrong in assessing music which gives an emotional response. One person liking it is as valid as someone else not. Analysing really does not add weight to the argument. Having said that I agree with conventional wisdom that this is in the second tier of violin concertos though I still like it.

[@jklahold7910]

Unidiomatic, yes, but fully intentional. Schumann composes against a music-historical horizon that already knows several distinct violin idioms. In Schumann, these meet a romantic experimental conception of art whose basic convictions include the idea of transcending, of breaking boundaries. Complaints about uncomfortable playing techniques, however, do not really affect the nature and value of the work itself. The dominant use of the middle register is part of Schumann's personal style and common in his piano music, for example. It is an aesthetic choice, probably due to a certain aversion of Schumann to ringing virtuosity and dazzling brilliance, but certainly not due to any inability. The orchestration is an eternal bone of contention and especially with regard to the mentioned imbalances, there are arguments that attribute this to a certain lack of practicality in Schumann's handling of the orchestra. A good conducting and listening less from Brahms, with regard to the independence of the orchestral part and motif work, and from Tchaikovsky, in terms of brilliance and colorfulness, often already helps here and lets Schumann's peculiarity shine all the more clearly. I consider the still colpotted supposed weakness of his late compositions to be a well-cultivated commonplace, which is about as original as the assertion that Beethoven would not have been able to compose a fugue.

[@scrivener6450]

They make a compelling case for using modern instruments for Schumann. That opening tutti sounded like a piece for tympani and brass, mainly tympani.

And the 2nd movement is a compelling case for why they should be used.

[@thomask1424]

Honestly, mixed feelings. It's beautifully played and nice hearing it on period instruments which lend a lovely transparency and delicasy. By the same token, it sounds thin compared to a modern orchestra like, say, the (somewhat heavy-handed) perfomance by Shijo and the FRS or Ms. Faust's performance with the RAI. Still, very nice and I look forward to repeated listenings.

[@JuanMartinexplacerez-mw3we]

Bravo

[@IonasalSdorica]

One of the trickiest things about this concerto is that problematic tempo marking of the third movement. If one were to follow what was written on the paper (♩= 63), that movement full of polonaise rhythm is totally lost, and doesn't feel like it's dance. Too fast, well, is that really a dance? Feels too rushed without feeling like it's polonaise. I have different recordings of this concerto and decided to measure the tempo. Turns out that Faust's tempo was slightly faster than ♩= 63 (Gidon Kremer followed what Schumann wrote), and was slower than what other violinists chose to do. I didn't realize her tempo pick (♩= 67) was that slow before actually measuring it myself because that sense of "dance" was very much present, unlike the Kremer version. Just shows what she's capable of! As someone who fell in love with this piece thanks to this very recording, I am glad I flew to Toulouse this May to listen Faust play this magnificent piece on 25 May 2024. Brava to Faust, and also brava to Anja Bihlmaier and Orchestre national du Capitole du Toulouse.

[@panurgeceline]

It is incredible and shameful that this piece has been considered as weak and had been hidden for so long. His weirdness, tempestuous and extremely syncretic esthetics (from barocco ouverture style to extreme tonal tensions), is only depth and reflects what the dying Schumann, from the edge of madness, had to say.

[@nigelmorley5414]

There are so many people (fortunately less than 50 years ago) that just don`t "get " Schumann. For all the criticisms of his symphonies (by academics mainly) they all still with us and probably played more now than earlier. Several have tried to "improve" the orchestration (Mahler for example) but Schumann`s original are the versions we always use. Perhaps , just perhaps it is because he DID know what he was doing and WE have been wrong all these years ? The orchestration is right for the music, that is the general conclusion. Take the first symphony, would someone with no ear for orchestral colour have used a triangle to give the tingle of the first feeling of spring after a long winter ? The later orchestral works are more thickly scored certainly but it works for this music. Schumann is the quintessential Romantic , here is epitomised the romantic struggle as we find in Byron. Make the orchestration clear and the struggle is gone. I would argue his single greatest orchestral achievement is the Manfred Overture (after Byron.) Two great romantics together. Schumann`s inspiration here is of the highest order, it is white hot and the orchestration perfect for the works dark colours, it is nothing less than a masterpiece and proves Schumann COULD write for the orchestra , the orchestral writing is ever bit as fine as found in any Brahms work

ファウストの知的な試みは見事に成功している。 シェリンクは弾いたら、シェリンクだし、個人的な個性が加味されていて、ちょっと聞きにくかったりする。あれも、これも、ヨシュアベルだったら、あー、ヨシュアベル的な弾き方だな、と、上手いけど、わかるけど、ちゃうなあ、と思ったりもする。 ヴィオラマテオさんの評価は、そーそー、と納得できるものである。ファウストの弾き方が、たしかに風変わりなように聞こえるところもあるが、まさにジーニャス、ガット弦でもできるんだぜ、ってところが、高評価に繋がるところで、意欲的な演奏と感じる。 問題提起を含むところが、ファウスト流の最近の傾向で、シューマンへの偏見や、偏りや見方を崩してやる、という前史的なものに対する歴史的な試み、と受け取っても構わないだろう。 むろん、そういうことを抜きにしても、楽器はめちゃめちゃ音質がいいし、弾き方はいうまでもなく、マエストロだから、ふつうに聞いている分にも、ずいぶん贅沢なもの、ファウストは、将来は伝説的な、ヴィルトゥオーゾな、堂に入った、現在においては、もっとも輝かしい存在であるといっても過言ではあるまい。 たくさんストラドはあるけど、「眠れる森の美女」、すなわち、スリーピング・ビューティーは、ピチピチで、神々しい音には、いつもクラッとします。
