J. G. Graun: Viola Concerto in E flat, Cv:XIII:116

[@wendyzohar8596]

Gorgeous, altogether. Bravo! A new (for me) piece, rich brilliant viola tone and handling, lively interpretation. And perfect support by the ensemble. What a treat! Thank you. 🙏

[@sandraschroeder4382]

Yes, outstanding viola-musician and really nice ensemble! I love it!!

[@joselopes2293]

The viola concertos weren’t so numerous as those of other instruments. Although the sound is fantastic being more full bodied than the violin, for example. The player is outstanding and the music is superb. Thanks for this wonderful interpretation.

[@NicoloEugelmi001]

There are 100 rediscovered viola concertos from this era that redefine the viola's role as a solo instrument. Thank you for the compliment sir!

[@katherineparadis-chateaune8004]

Very, very, very talented musicans. Thank you so much, this is so beautiful. I'm so pleased to be able to listen to it many times.

[@ab-zg8pt]

Your sound is what I think a viola should sound like! I was even more surprised to see the shape of viola you're playing on - I have one that was made in the mid 2000s, a 16.5". So neat to see another out in the wild.

[@karenlozada6006]

Now this is amazing!

[@carlodragoni3974]

originally written for Viola da braccio, Manuscript is in Berlin

[@cristiandris]

Congratulations! Sounds great! Unfortunately not often performed this concerto. I need to give it to my students

[@erichbeck9302]

Stunning piece. Wonderful.

[@NicoloEugelmi001]

Thank you Erich.

[@handelviola]

Sounds so good!

[@SarumChoirmaster]

BTW - You should be making recordings - A LOT MORE! Your playing is so excellent in many ways that you need to, for historical sake, be a lot more prominently well known and heard.

[@NicoloEugelmi001]

Dear Viola Bear, thank you so very much for your kind words! Please see my website for more info about myself. I would love to record a lot more too! nicoloeugelmi.com

@@NicoloEugelmi001 Thanks for the link to your website. I'm happy to see that your beautiful playing is being heard so widely. I love your performance of this little known, lovely Baroque concerto.

[@thekangaroo42]

Beautiful!! Thank you.

[@iCyclone]

Great piece-- I'm excited to discover it-- and really gorgeous playing. I love the violist's sound. P.S. Wow, that last movement gets a little tricky!

[@NicoloEugelmi001]

It's a serious concerto, no question.

[@lebu2006]

Bro, sooooo beautiful!!!!!!!

[@NicoloEugelmi001]

Hey Sam! Thanks a lot!

[@lebu2006]

Awesome Ensemble!!!! asa well

[@doumne]

Congratulations from France, you play beautifully; is it original for the viola or for viola da gamba?

[@NicoloEugelmi001]

This is one of the "100 rediscovered viola concertos" over the last 40 years! I am proud to perform them one-by-one.

[@deasmiles]

@@NicoloEugelmi001 Chapeau! You play beautifully.

@@NicoloEugelmi001 thank you 100 X !

[@javierportero]

Loved the piece and great playing!

[@CsrlWiener]

Graun was a Berlin composer I seem to remember. His work must have been familiar to Mendelssohn.

[@SarumChoirmaster]

Where can I get a copy of the sheet music? I looked on IMSLP and does not seem to be there.

[@c.g.marseille4510]

it is really singing ! !

[@flelgrorf7577]

Che bellezza.

[@NicoloEugelmi001]

Grazie

[@janabratkovic349]

Is it possible to get cadenza of 1. movement and where? I have ortus-musikverlag edition, but there is no cadenza

[@NicoloEugelmi001]

It's a short cadenza that I borrowed from Ilya Korol's recording. I just learned it by ear and wrote it down. No problem! :)

[@claucipe6297]

Somebody have the score?? :3

[@carmenlarson3455]

Thank you for a gorgeous performance. You have inspired one of my students. How do I get the sheet music?

[@estebanespinozamuro8872]

Do you know where can I get the Sheet? I'd like to play it as my exam

[@violageo]

Fantastic! What size is your viola?

[@NicoloEugelmi001]

My viola is 16 7/8.

[@SarumChoirmaster]

What strings and their gauge do you use? I like the sound of your instrument. I'm a retired professional concert level violist myself. You playing is magnificent as well as the ensembles' performance.

[@NicoloEugelmi001]

Dear Viola Bear, my viola is naturally a dark sounding instrument. In order to compensate for this, I've used Dominant Starks with a Jargar Medium A for 25 years. Please feel free to message me with any more questions!

[@100crowns6]

+Nicolò Eugelmi was your viola made by the Japanese maker who also made violas for Michael Tree and Emmanuel Vardi? Whosoever made it I love what you do with it! I like this concerto very much and also the concerto by J N Doemming. Keep it up!

[@100crowns6]

+100crowns PS. Do you play anything by Alessandro Rolla,the father of the viola? I hope so!

[@NicoloEugelmi001]

Thank you for your kind words! My viola was made by Alan Balmforth, Seattle, 1994. Iizuka violas have gamba corners, but Balmforth's have violin corners. Keep in mind that the general shape is that of the renaissance lira da braccio. Alan makes first class violas. As for Rolla, well yes, I hope to perform the Concertino and also the epic Concerto in E flat, Op.3. Both top shelf works!

[@100crowns6]

+Nicolò Eugelmi Great! I shall look forward to Rolla! It seems Iizaki and Balmforth have some very practical ideas.
