Johann Heinrich Schmelzer: Sonata Quarta; Elizabeth Blumenstock, baroque violin; Voices of Music

[@iainthegrouch]

Everything I hear from this group brings me great joy. As a professional orchestral trumpeter I’ve heard it all but this group are sublime.

[@hildedenys4427]

I totally agree!

[@haroldchurchspengler4960]

Ms Blumenstock is a great gift to the world. Her playing is sublime and hauntingly beautiful. She is unique in that her exquisite playing both combines technical virtuosity and raw emotional power.

[@VoicesofMusic]

Harold ChurchSpengler She is amazing :)

[@archielouis2932]

instablaster.

[@pauljones2519]

The amazing beauty and power of Schmelzer. There is nothing like it on this earth, thank god we can hear it 350 years later!

[@VoicesofMusic]

One of his best sonatas.

[@georgmisiak1146]

Of course they are just as good: Benedetto Ferrari, Cantata Spirituale ;)

[@MichelBruin76]

Mme Blumenstock est d'une extraordinaire virtuosité, c'est tout simplement beau ...

[@VoicesofMusic]

Merci!

[@haygraphics]

There are so many players who master the technical problems without ever finding a tenth of the feeling and expression Elizabeth Blumenstock delivers here. This is absolutely transporting. Bravo!

[@Dats_Lyfe]

I have liked listening to all kinds of music, but there is nothing on the earth like this sort of music.

[@davehshs651]

The sweetness and beauty of Ms. Blumenstock's playing is no doubt at least partly a result of the joy that often can be seen on her face as she plays.

[@tšanchezt]

Поздравляем всех музыкантов, особенно Миссис Блуменсток. Отличный концерт.

[@weile4u]

Sublime performance, this could melt anybody's heart (Schmelzer, schmelzen = melt)

[@mikaelmuratoglu]

A Sublime Schmelzer performance. The violin sings beautifully.

[@harmoniamusicae]

absultely superb... Mme Blumenstock is definitely the best violinist I ever heard

[@jameszerukjr]

I am actually weeping from this beautiful thing. Gosh, and I'm a Sinatra guy! I hope you can come to the West Los Angeles Veterans Hospital and bring some of this healing to us...

[@dmssmd1522]

Not knowing much about music, but the sound from her instrument seems so pure and clear.. This is beautiful

[@loujan2945]

Maestra Liz is magnificent in this real tribute to the art of elevated violin music!

[@maroangel8525]

It's the best tone I've ever heard. thanks.

[@robertoZX64]

Schmelzer was a genius and this is a wonderful performance!

[@heathergrahame9647]

Thank you for sharing this on youtube. What a gift. So delicate and so sublime ... she raises dew drops off rose petals.

[@michael7324]

Well stated. She is very talented indeed.

[@VoicesofMusic]

You're welcome.

[@robertyw2882]

Exquisite!! The gentle moaning of the cello and organ in the background, the occasional whispering of the lute........lovely!

[@jddrew1000]

WOW! IT WENT FROM SOFT AND SWEET TO FAST AND FURIOUS! BRAVO!

[@scheepalicious]

My my, I never realised how beautiful Blumenstock's sound is till I saw this video.

[@song9749]

How beautiful! wow she playing like a bird So sensitive and sweet wind of autumn:) from Seoul South Korea

[@davidbellugi]

Magnificent performance of a beautiful piece of music! My heartfelt congratulations to all of you or making this world a better place to live in with your glorious music making. From your fan in Florence.

[@guygijsels8863]

Onbeschrijfelijk mooi en gedragen. De ultieme perfectie!

[@philippeeeckman5046]

Écoute,écouter, encore écouter : quel bonheur. Y a t il mieux ? MERCI.

[@boredwithusernames]

Magnificent finale and well deserved applause. Very well played.

[@anaxiomenes3964]

Back in the calmness of 17th century Schmelzer must have thought of the appropriateness of his exquisite baroque melodies for the anesthetic relaxation needs of the convoluted 21st century mind. Ms Blummenstock, superb artistic execution; fellow talented musicians of Voices of Music, sincere expressions of admiration; sound engineers, you have mastered the intricacies of how complicated high fidelity baroque music ought to sound to entrance a soul. Bravo!

[@VoicesofMusic]

Thank you!

[@c.g.marseille4510]

vaak gehoord maar opnieuw heerlijk om naar te luisteren

[@robbirman]

Love the curls EB! Great to see the old Guarneri too...

[@StephenBryen]

Elizabeth Blumenstock is a great talent and the Schmelzer Sonata Quarta pleasing.

[@Soupwhistle]

It takes me out of my time and into another one. So bright, sad and sweet.

[@mauricioduron3193]

Schmeltzer: vanguardista; Ms. Blumenstock et al.: auténticos! Gracias a 'Voices of Music'.

[@dianeswanson8206]

Exquisite performance of sublime music!

[@rolandscales9380]

Remarkable playing. I could feel it physically, right in the parietal lobe!

[@grahambutler7674]

There was a point in this video where I thought KZbin was playing the video at 4x speed, but no, it was just Elizabeth Blumenstock playing effortlessly at the speed of light. What a treasure!

[@VoicesofMusic]

:)

[@zekesdad5518]

Wonderful piece, stunning performance... as always.

[@VoicesofMusic]

Many thanks!

[@stevesaunders5037]

I absolutely adore Ms. Blumenstock and her musicianship. Brava!

[@VoicesofMusic]

She's amazing--also view the Biber E Minor Sonata!

[@stevesaunders5037]

Thank you, I will!! And you should listen to her work in the Corelli D Major, Op.6. No. 4. The beautiful voice of her exquisite Guarneri shines through and could very easily steal the performance were it not for Ms. Blumenstock's expert craftsmanship at shaping the phrases. Any violin would sing in her hands but when it's her Guarneri, she can move angels to tears.

[@raxmeger]

L'arte dell'arco! Really stunning mrs.Blumenstock

[@avakroman2079]

Exquisite beauty! One of my favorite baroque pieces. This is awesome!

[@cegoso60]

Extraordinary performance!

[@VoicesofMusic]

Thank you.

[@c.g.marseille4510]

thank you very very much Elisabeth ! and the other players too !

[@peteacher52]

Gorgeously lugubrious music! Give Ms Blumenstock the biggest box of the most expensive chocolates available in town - she'd share them with the other musicians, but it would be a fitting gesture in appreciation of her skill.

[@barrycasey2510]

Beautiful; brings deep nostalgia, a tear.

[@carlasenese6046]

Ogni volta mi commuovo per tanta meraviglia. Grazie

[@mag-wp6yt]

[@tomate66611]

Biber and Bach? Justin?Lol Real. a great masterpiece of music. Thanks

[@domingocangallo]

Maravilloso, como estos músicos entusiastas dibujan melodías al margen de la línea musical del bajo continuo, me gusto muchísimo.

They are so good.

[@samopdrift]

So sweet...

[@eduardobehar532]

Fantastic version! Best version recorded... Many thanks. Could Ms. Blumenstock record Biber's Rosary Sonata no. 16 - passacaglia? Everybody will love it...

[@VoicesofMusic]

We have a version of the Passacaglia already, so we probably won't film that one again soon. But there will be other videos with EB! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqK0g4tmpdmqadk
