Julia Fischer - Violin Concerto in A Minor, Op. 53 (Antonin Dvorak)

[@jasonshick1793]

I love her characteristic sassy-ness. The way she whips up her bow at the end of a phrase. She's always completely in control.

[@violintegral]

Lol I always liked how Heifetz whips his bow to the right at the end of a strong phrase (well when he ends it on a downbow, to be exact). It offers a very emphatic, resolute, intense, and clear finish.

[@alandeutsch9987]

[@foveauxbear]

Such a beautiful concerto, full of Slavic passion and fire.

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

Nah this is Germanised Slavic

[@afrofinka]

Julia Fischer is half Slovak from her mother, she definitely has Slavic temperament !

[@alandeutsch9987]

@@afrofinka I agree with you and the main commenter. She captures the intended mood perfectly

[@ralphziigersson3472]

This, to me, is other worldly.. Can you believe, she is also a pianist...This is top-level stuff..

[@georgesetzer5283]

The smile on her face says it all. She is so connected to the orchestra and they're smiling right back.

[@tomgeydan]

As always, Julia Fischer plays with intense emotion, skill and concentration, and with an intuitive understanding of the work. And, befitting this music, her demeanor and her gestures are imperious! She is indeed an extraordinary artist. Thank you!

[@clocktowerpreacher]

Thomas K. Geydan Brill comment .... totally agree !!! God Bless

[@alaalfa8839]

I like also the asian older guy on youtube, he played it nicely too....But he is little guy (with little hands) and I thought that after the concerto the violinist will need some neck massage.....the hand movements are so strong and fast. She will probably need neck and shoulders massage too, but she probably does some stretching before the concert.

[@MrAngelus08]

​@@alaalfa8839 All the string players study and train to make efficient and effortless movements, specially in fast movements. I think they'll be fine :)

[@luizamsalgado]

She is Superb or much more! When she is playing I know she will place the music above anything else and I just relax and listen! The classic musician! A reference!.. and....wonderful artistic integrity!

[@pakasit1812]

Love Dvorak's melodies & idioms. You too, Julia.... you are a great violinist and pianist who could play concertos on both instruments. Salute from Bangkok, Thailand,

What a marvelous performance. The encore is just breath taking. If you don't trust me, look at the reactions from the members of the orchestra.

[@harryliangviolin9003]

[@AnR645]

Generally, artistes tend to stop the first mvt at 12:14 if playing it by itself because that last 1 minute is so different from the rest of the movement. It does go on to 13:11 though.

[@bcing75]

This concerto is so underrated and underperformed its a disgrace. Beautiful music!

[@andrewbraid1815]

Completely agree. It's just as great at Brahms and Tchaikovsky - and greater than Mendelssohn and Bruch. Very deep, very complex, very powerful.

[@pujiharyanto9996]

Am more and more like julia fischer day after day when she plays everything, thank you for sharing

[@Capfka]

Fischer does a really great job of this. I have it favourited. I've been listening to this concerto since I was a nipper and I still love it. When I read about the "experts" saying that Dvorak "wrote it because he had to write a violin concerto" and that it isn't up to the standard of his other work are just full of it. It is certainly one of the longest violin concertos and if Dvorak were doing it as a throwaway exercise in conforming to some unstated standard, then he spent an unusually large amount of time doing it! The third movement is fantastic both from the soloist and the orchestra perspectives. A real workout for the soloist, particularly the last passage. Bravo, Julia!

[@jansnauwaert1785]

The concerto *as a whole* is fantastic. As the British commentator says in the introduction, Julia Fischer said that it has the most beautiful beginning of ALL violin concertos. I think that is true. A masterpiece.

[@alaalfa8839]

Dvořák´s great grandson Jozef Suk also played very well tghis concerto. I am not expert but he played it with very clear tune....Probably because he used stradivary violins and some other violin of 18 century. or the recording was very clearly recorded..Or the stradivary make such nice tune...Its on youtube. But you are right she is great violinist. description under video of this violin concerto.... "Suk plays on rare instruments built by Antonio Stradivari (1729), Giuseppe Guarneri "del Gesu" (1744) and Giovanni Battista Guadagnini (1758). Josef Suk has had a long and distinguished career in the recording studio, winning the Grand Prix du Disqueno less then six times as well as the Wiener Floetenuhr Prize and the Edison Prize."

Very lovely! I happened to sit next to a young Julia many years ago as she was traveling on her first solo flight without her mother or manager. She was about to perform at the Ravinia Festival in Chicago and was rehearsing this very piece, running through the fingerings on her forearm. When we landed, I handed her her Stradivarius from the overhead bin--I'm sure the only time I will hold one. We stayed in touch briefly in email. She was utterly charming, and I'm delighted to see how she continues to shine.

[@zdenek.jelinek]

Since the piano concert no. 3 was not written for the next 30 years and Dvorak died 5 years before ever having a possibility to hear it, one must assume it was his visionary musical genius at work, being able to copy the theme from future beyond his lifetime.

[@TheVaughan5]

Much under-rated work along with his amazing Requiem. Among Romantic era composers Dvorak is up there with the very best, no doubt about that. "Most beautiful beginning of all violin concertos" ? Surely this goes to the Walton v/c?

[@eriknystrom5839]

cameronpaul Agee, Walton VC, with Ida Haendel, very beautiful beginning. Well, there are so many beautiful VC, not only the standard Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky , Mendelsohn, Mozart, Sibelius, Bruch etc...I love all of them! But I also really like the beginning of Bruch's Scottish Fantasy ( I consider that piece as a VC).

[@richardsmallwood7940]

Julia Fischer is likely to be the warmest and most genial female violinist of her generation. She is also the wittiest and cleverest in her interviews, and in the end a great favourite of mine.
