Kyoko Yonemoto - Ravel violin sonata 2nd mov

[@BlueMoonLightDreams]

I LOVE THIS WOMAN'S PASSION FOR MUSIC, THIS IS RARE, NOT MANY PERFORMERS/ARTIST HAVE THIS NOW A DAYS, most persuade the money, and leave the art behind. BRAVO TO HER!

[@brian777999]

I love the way she seems to actually be enjoying this while she plays it.

[@jimp4170]

For those who are arguing about the role of the piano, Ravel's manuscript has the title "Sonata for piano and violin" in his own handwriting. They are clearly equal partners. Sometimes the violin is accompanying the piano, and sometimes vice versa. Neither one is subservient to the other.

[@Juciejuc]

You Look in her face and see that she LOVES music!!

[@syr1nx89]

One of the best interpretations I've seen. To me, there's no particular right or wrong way to perform 'Blues', as long as it's done with soul. She's got it.

[@EarlyLAPunk]

Holy fuck the brilliance of this composer.

[@TonicMike]

Why so much criticism for Ms. Yonemoto? She is obviously an excellent violinist and a charismatic performer. I really feel that she is doing an amazing job of presenting the soul of this passionate piece.

[@TonicMike]

This is wonderful. I love how playful they are.

[@waldemaretz]

I like this performance very much! Is very well thought out and still played very natural. Profound and genuine enjoyment of the two musicians, what we are witnessing well as listeners. "Thank you for the music!" Ist sehr gut durchdacht und trotzdem sehr natuerlich gespielt. Tief gehender, echter Genuss der beiden Musiker, welchen wir als Zuhoerer gut miterleben koennen.

[@marcossp6258]

Kyoko Yonemoto. great job!!!

[@LadyTigerLily]

This is such a fantastic piece and a fantastic performance. Reminds me why I like Ravel.

[@Juciejuc]

she is just brillant ! love her face when shes playing

[@archiloquedenaxos]

this performance of this music opened my eyes and ears to a very new relationship with Ravel for me. thankyou Kyoko for your subtle and/but refreshing expressions that excited visually the response to the music. I have always felt that there is frequently an "Orientalism" with some of R´s works..and here I could feel it quite marked. excellent ,strong,felt..involving. thankyou.

[@sarahekiefer]

You can definitely tell shes having fun

[@rezmogm]

@Calinoma As a jazz musician/composer I'd like to clarify something. Any piece may contain certain harmonies that are thought of as "jazz" harmonies. There is no jazz structure per se. But what is truly the difference between jazz and any other music, is the fact the performance of a piece includes improvisation. So of course any piece that is through-composed is by definition: not jazz. I don't believe that the composers that are influenced by "jazz" are trying to create jazz

[@EuniceCChina]

Awesome! I can listen for ever and never get tired of it! haha :)

[@kundalini76]

This is so great, please up the other mvts if you have them!

[@angicat88]

She's lovin'it!!!...and I love her!

[@liebemaggie]

Very, very musical!!! Love the interpretation.

[@MrSteven2945]

luv me some ravel.... absolut great composer

[@AleGZPiano]

It's not a just violin sonata, it's a violin and piano sonata, you should have included it and mentioned the pianist in the description, it's just as important as her

[@eevillest]

LOVED it!

[@carlosbotelho9348]

Love you Kyoko Yonemoto

[@honeybadger81]

Bravo and Wow! Beautiful music!

[@aliciahostclub]

she is great!

[@pianofolle]

i'll use the simplest word that comes to my mind to describe both ravel's composition and this duo's performance: MASTERPIECE

[@Nightfaze]

gives me chills !!

[@JFman00]

fantastic.

[@archiloquedenaxos]

why is there only one performance on youtube by you.. I would like to see more by you ...please ...play for us!

[@Mallvelous]

[ITA] Quanti anni devi studiare violino, e quante ore al giorno ci devi dedicare, per suonare questo pezzo? [ENG] How many years have you play, and how much hours have you play every day, the violin to do this piece well?

[@BlueMoonLightDreams]

i love her

[@frianejade824]

that was beautiful :)

[@xennial_miracle]

Very well done!

[@frankcisyarmi]

impresionante sonido! ella es ganadora del 4to Concurso Internacional Paganini en Moscu !!!!! quien luego puede tocar con un Stradivari por un año! felicitaciones Kyoko Yonemoto!!!!!

[@fugazi0311]

I like Yonemoto's facial expressions. Heheh. She seems to like playing this song.

[@vesimila]

De mais...som,interpretaçao...e o praser que ela sente quando toca...o pianita tambem esta maravilnhoso...adorei

[@musik102]

I think this is great. How much blues - and what type - could have Ravel heard by the time he composed this piece? He certainly couldn't have heard any Delta blues. He could have been familiar with bluesy jazz and some "classic blues". But, let's face it, this is a lot more interesting than a straightforward 12 bar blues!

[@vanpitt]

I'm a fan!

[@waldemaretz]

COOOOOOOL

[@brian777999]

I think she enjoyed playing this. I would like to hear her play some Gershwin.

[@kimisizer]

@LordCalvinHastings What plucking the strings? It's a technique called pizzicato and is used frequently; it does not damage the instrument.

[@AleGZPiano]

@McSplat Thanks webster, but like i said, it's Ravel, not a baroque or CLASSICAL piece (for which the definition you gave applies). EG: with Chopin, a Scherzo changes completely. The idea of music evolving over time is for things like this to happen, a two instrument sonata ceases to be something with a simple soloist and becomes a composition for this two equally relevant instruments. As much protagonism as the violin may have, that's no excuse for not mentioning or congratulating the Pianist.

[@archiloquedenaxos]

the music is some notes written on a page....the "ACTUAL" music, is that which you hear here, played by LIVING BREATHING FEELING HUMANS....with every right to interpret it HOW THEY FEEL IT. this is the reason why music is a living thing..not a fossil, not archaeology, not museum...but very alive and INTERPRETED... interpreted from the dry notes on the page to the sound.. with its miriad of possible ways to be sounded.

[@Prettyandbad]

She's gor 1st prize at the Fourth Paganini Moscow International Violin COmpetition...

[@ineschoupa]

she looks like sarah chang (a little bit ^^) And she plays so well like Sarah! :)

[@hpfan1216]

This was a great performance, however I'm not crazy about that part in the middle. My favorite part is at 4:09

[@AlfonsoGB77]

I agree!

[@czimon]

lol are you serious? "spiderman, spiderman, where have you gone to, spiderman?" that one?

[@robertocaesar]

To begin a comment by saying "she should... or should not..." kills the very nature of music and art, that is freedom. Music and art are concepts born from the freedom of mind. Maybe it is best to reduce yourself to the results of one performance in particular. Or maybe just enjoy the sounds without the images.

[@AleGZPiano]

@McSplat You say that. I say only a fool would say, in any piece, that an instrument is more important than the other just because it carries the melody. Specially in Ravel. They are not equals, never said that. One is accompanying, the other is singing. One is a piano, the other is a violin. But both instruments play the piece. One cannot play without the other. It's a violin and piano sonata.

[@AleGZPiano]

@McSplat i've heard and read both official titles, with and without the "Piano", but never before have i heard "and piano accompaniment" as part of the official title: that's just not true And i can't really agree with you, and i doubt any expert would. It's inevitable & unavoidable for one of the instruments to have more protagonism than the other (specially if one of them is a violin, a melodic instrument), but that doesn't mean that it's more important per se. It's Ravel, not a baroque piece

[@agilbosco]

who is the pianist

[@octopusmime]

shes so badd ass ! go kyoko !

[@veronica0902]

Was she in the movie "Spiderman 2" singing the "Spiderman" theme song?

[@Amarachi5]

does she have a flue? great song i just cant help myself noticing that emotional sniffing.

[@Calinoma]

Ravel was certainly influenced by jazz, but he, along with a number of other early 20th century European composers, never could truly capture it. They wrote jazz harmonies and ideas into pieces with a more traditional western structure. So don't look at this piece and criticize it for not being jazz or blues - it's truly a western composition, with a few new world harmonies thrown in. Of course this piece isn't authentic jazz, but it's still a great piece of music. Let's just agree on that?

[@HerrDanilo]

Who is the pianist???

[@maledettifreganome]

Well

[@jamilicarvalho6079]

Assistido.Jamili Carvalho.

[@didierbordereaux5898]

Angoissant comme un mal de tête... Ravel en est mort😢

[@y1g1tcn]

the leg of pianist at 1:06.. strange,, beautiful performance.

[@yiyang7858]

偶像，好多地方都参考您的啊。哈哈！

[@floorembden]

The page turner comes out of a Vermeer painting

[@carlosbotelho9348]

Sou só eu ou o pianista atrapalhou a apresentação dela?

[@gulisha520]

very jazzy very well playing, the only thing is she played too jazzy, made me think I was in a bar

[@elinakel]

the playing is wonderful but please put down the name of your pianist next time. It is awful when people forget to do that

[@vlnvlaclogbaerhpno]

Oh, shut up! The pianist is very good, and he's cute, too! :-)

[@delauge]

LOL xD

[@sunmihinsdale3006]

1:38

[@ericx120]

Kyoko Yonemoto is a great violinist, The pianist is not good, In just a few moments I heard something good to hear

[@Polygor2]

A bit slow to my ears.

[@tonto1782]

Una interpretación perfecta para los marineros borrachos de cualquier bareto de Mexico. Les encantaría, sobre todo las caras. Ja-ja!!!!!!!!! Que asco!!!!!!!!!!!A mi me gusta mucho como se da mordisquitos en el labio(es la senal mas clara de un gran artista)

[@Aaotrom]

It could be possibly that she is experiencing emotions with this song. not just uptight playing notes off a sheet. When Someone is being moved by music your feelings are expressed on your face so what you have been taught about music is just crap Im sorry. Anyone can learn to play you have to live it to really experience it

[@charliecarrot]

lol. it's better than so called 'authentic jazz' :eyeroll:

[@xxXzeRoOXxx]

VANESSA MAE is batter......... she dont need no sheets.. its all ear.

[@chienwen81]

I loved her playing but hated her expression...

[@elinzacy]

the violinist did a bad job in expression.

[@xiaoxiayu]

the lady looks evil

[@icemorewaterless]

joshua hu what does that even mean??

[@nutsocket]

kyoko...beautiful and talented
