[@dymionliu316]

her playing is very aggressive and that is the biggest distinction in my opinion compared to other violinists, it generates a lot of power and force which is absolute stunning

[@elisamusic]

totally agreeing!! She is magnificient.

[@lordwarcraft666]

She's pure fire in that piece! I love it

[@Kevin-nw2qs]

Not just aggresive but very elegant and smooth as well, and she has a great sense of phrasing.

[@maggietheprincesscastle9776]

Her prowess is astonishing, but her style is a bit too forward for me.

[@elquepasadeti]

Ella es Pasional no Agresiva! La agresividad no es una virtud, la pasión sí!! De nada!! 😏

[@enriquevargas2618]

Sarasate siempre me apasionó..pero oír está extraordinaria interpretación termina atrapando completamente mi corazón...Simplemente maravilloso!!

[@義弘中井]

どうかん!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@RDuve-vs8gn]

Words are not enough to describe this performance and this young lady. It is so great, that there is someone who is able to play the violin like this! I wish you all the best Maria!

[@marysanchez90]

Yes she is excellent! Bravo!

[@dannysiu6994]

没吃过苦难的人很难表达吉卜赛人的生活，技巧不错

[@fatimateresa19]

When I saw her in Granada ,Spain in my hometown she was very little. Even back then with 8 years old she was soooo god.

[@AsleNoddeland-xb9ww]

I have heard this Spanish violin player for some time,now, and I must say, this Concerto proves her to be among the elite of the young and coming violin players of this world!

[@tylermoore8218]

When this prodigious Spanish violinist plays prodigious Spanish violin music, we are definitely in for a treat!

[@mariusfelixlange6709]

Spanish music using exceptionally Hungarian tunes…

[@user-pk6bs3jd6l]

This young superstar is incomparable - we are very fortunate that she is recording her recitals and orchestral performances. The nearest comparison I could make to this performance would be a combination of Perlman, Vengerov and Gitlis, but in truth she is a master in her own right and creates the most interpretive music I think I have ever heard.

[@s.c.b4074]

Jaw-dropping performance... she's a rising star.

[@slowdown7276]

She has risen already.

[@edwinloh2031]

Powerful and passionate interpretation of this Sarasate work, her virtuosity is so thrilling and electrifying both herself and the listeners.

[@bibimimi5556]

Potente PASSIONALITÀ...❤❤❤❤

[@kairuiwu]

You can feel the power and the passion from the performance.

[@brunoanthonioz2211]

Totalmente de acuerdo !!!

[@pablophone4528]

Extraordinaria energía convertida en música. Intensidad al servicio de la música. El espíritu de Pablo Sarasate desatado en toda su irracional genialidad…❤️🙏

[@J.S-z4r]

Se´t coneix poc a Espanya i sembla que encare menys a Catalunya. No he vist comentaris en català, però el meu queda aquí com a gran admirador que soc.. Gràcies Maria !!

[@geoffosborne4720]

Wow such fire, such passion, such virtuosity, it almost seems unbelievable to me that anyone can play the violin to that standard, the lucky audience were treated to something really outstanding on that occasion, thank goodness someone was there to video it for us.

[@luisloya1120]

Amen. She's a gift from God.❤

[@whatever4929]

3.52 - 3.57 was just pure magic! Such panache and old school virtuosity! My God, Maria, tu eres genial! Brava. I got emotional watching this. I had such a flood of emotions. An artist who can move just one person to tears is a true maestro/maestra and a genius! God bless you, Maria!

[@JuanmanuelMartínezGarcía-s5o]

❤ María. Con tan solo Veinte años, dondes has llegado,?? Espero que sigas siendo en el futuro esa mujer tan cercana y sencilla que eres ahora, y qué en un mundo tan lleno de divas,/os no te se suba a la cabeza y pierdas ser tú misma!!?❤ Enhorabuena!!!! ❤ María ❤ Granaína y Andaluza, que orgullo para todos los Andaluces que salgan talentos como tú, María ❤❤

[@belmon38]

It doesn't get much better than this. Maybe in another 100 years...

[@slowdown7276]

Maybe never

[@luceestpace]

Is interesting how she uses the vibrato on this piece, fast and basically accelerated. Remember the greats violinists style from the past century. Passion, intensity, personality and technique! Brava!!

[@Stefan76]

Simply far the Best musician of our time. A New Dimension!!

[@juanvicentemusic]

She is an angel with the strength of a titan. For me, a very reserved opinion, is the new Anne Sophie Mutter, -which is no small thing-. We will hear a lot from Maria Dueñas.

[@Nicole-ww4lg]

I never noticed before the way her ponytail almost gets in the way during the ending and she keeps flinging it back over her shoulder to keep it out of the way 😍 Much love from Seattle

[@davidleesn]

A true Spaniard's realisation of what Sarasate meant... The matching drama 🎭 of her facial expression too ... that steps the differences in each sections and even in repetitions ! showcasing virtuosity as well as expression as Sarasate composed the piece for !

[@hopelessviolin4690]

Though this is among my favorite performances of this piece it is certainly not at all how Sarasate would have played it. If she plays it like a mountain then sarasate plays it like a river.

[@davidleesn]

@@hopelessviolin4690 Is there a link or recording ?? of Sarasate playing it to compare? Please illuminate !

[@davidleesn]

@@hopelessviolin4690 tried Teo Gertler's river flowing version... more like Itzhak 's but hopelessly non Spanish not to say in free flowing Gypsy style.... so I'll agree to disagree .

[@hopelessviolin4690]

@@davidleesn kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3PQaKGDi96BnpY here it is. Notice how sweet his tone is.

[@davidleesn]

@@hopelessviolin4690 thank you. My long reply ended up on the @aimson ... So glad of your correction ! the link and this conversation...enlarging my narrower thinking of how Spaniards would have played Z. privately and how they would record it in a style that Kreisler picked up and championed , e.g. Hungarian Dances of Brahms. Different views are enlightening ! The virtuoso speed and flow of Sarasate in this recording (I hope not a speeded up playback) sacrificed the Navarre, Pamplona gutsy character that legend has it Sarasate loved and would not miss annually even when touring America. Like you, I prefer Maria Dueñas performance that I hope will convince and educate the global concert goers of what generally goes on in a Spanish (especially flamenco dancing gypsy) heart privately .... with in my head foreign stereotype of : running ahead of bulls if not bull fights, Carmen level of gypsy fiery freedom, potato-butter pancakes , strong dark red wine called Torro..(?) bull's blood ( also Hungarian?!)and of course the castanets, zapateado and guitar rhythms of flamingo dancing that Sarasate's compositions also celebrated! (please excuse my greed and laziness ) Are there links for those too also played with the same sweet flow for the global touring , especially American audience that Sarasate's generation was able to start and achieve !?

[@rubensfalcucci9315]

Maria Dueñas!!!!!♡🎻🎼 agrega el espiritu del divo del violin Sarasate que viaja en el tiempo y tenemos la suerte de verlo y escucharlo en vivo como si fuera un fantasma en el cuerpo de una mujer su interpretacion es briillante vigorosa virtuosa elocuente y llena de color y maestria

[@YangLiu-bx2pb]

Powerful and full of passion, that's the masterpiece

[@donaldcoffman2056]

this young lady is so mature with her music and makes it all look so easy, but her development and that of her great art has taken years of dedication and hard work, she is simply sublime in every way!

[@marcosnascimento5208]

Fabulosa! 🙂

[@lrod5245]

Gracias, María.

[@lavendelle_swift]

I was cried during the first (and middle) part of the piece. Then my tears have been disappeared during the second part. Beautiful performed. Bravo to the Violinist and Accompanist.

[@Chibanah]

Strange, because the saddest part is the middle one (at least for me it represents the sadness).

[@architadhar2296]

@@Chibanah Yeah! Everytime I hear the middle part it makes me emotional. Maria Dueñas' performance was so emotive

[@Kate-cw8ef]

3 dislikes ?? Some people have no life, or else they’re just senselessly bitter and jealous. I’ll never understand it. This is incredible Maria !

[@belmon38]

When someone gets to the top envious souls wake up.

[@kurtbofinger9530]

Maybe they just pushed the button by accident. Old people like me sometimes do that! But this time it's not me.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Maria, I really really enjoyed watching your performance and your absolute talent and such great passion and sensitivity too. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up too

[@carloshumphrey1]

Without a doubt, Maria Duenas is the most talented violinist today. She reminds me of Arabella Steinbacher, who's very deep and strong violin made her bighting .Duenas violin is both powerful but extremally romantic without being mellow. It is breathtaking. I just hope she sticks to classical music and she is not tempted by riches and fame as Hauser, Garifuna and Panfill. As Yoyo Ma and Bocelli. they end paying the prize, as true classical music artist are that; virtuosos.

[@juanaguilardominguez2034]

María, eres un orgullo para España

[@urago69]

Simply astounding tone and technique.

[@鈴沼]

マリアさんの演奏はまさに圧巻でその情熱的な演奏は、心に響き、感動的でした。この演奏には言葉に表しきれない感銘を受けました。

[@brunoanthonioz2211]

Lo mismo

[@donaldcoffman2056]

she is absolutely devine and I love her and her playing so much I have been repeating several pieces over and over again for three days since I heard about this talented prodigy.

[@stephenking4170]

Back again to listen to this masterpiece of expression. Maria is unsurpassed in her performance of this piece. Such life and also tenderness.

[@anthonyballog8026]

wow I was reluctant to watch because I am Gypsy and biased but this is the best technique I ever seen.

[@philipzelasko435]

Senorita,you are a magnificent performer. 🎉

Congratulations María Dueñas! God bless you!

[@TurzoSZsolt]

... speechless ❤

[@erecusan]

Salí del trabajo un día y me metí en el auditorio nacional de Madrid, como muchas veces. Concierto de violin de Bruch, mil veces oído, nada especial, nada muy sugerente para mí. Empezó y no daba crédito.. Creedme, es magia, impresionante, me volvió loco esa interpretación.

[@fernandomoreno3148]

Que maravilla. ❤ Que fuerza transmite 😊

[@bach_solo]

She gave Heifetz run for his money! I truly liked her interpretation better. So much lyricism in slower sections and such unabashed raw strength and gusto in the finale! Brava!

[@samuelcole9385]

She absolutely shredded it without losing the musicality. A true player is to be able to play fast and still make it tasteful and not butcher it. Watch her, she’ll be one of the greats.

[@Chibanah]

Unfortunately she lost me at the last part, it was too fast and shredded, it lost its original czardas dance theme and feeling by that. Still it was incredible, but sometimes you have to hold back your skills, you feel to show off otherwise.

[@김성진-n5c7w]

You are a MUSE ,só to speak , God of music playing .

[@normalhispanicdude]

This is purely Zigeunerweisen, bravo María.

[@Dani-Plays]

Incredible! Her left hand when she does vibrato literally blurred into another dimension! Amazing job Maria!

[@peteroh9319]

Very expressive which is what Sarasate requires. 🔥🔥🔥 My favorite Zigeunerweisen is by Rudolph Koelman. His left hand pizz on this piece is god level. Midori is however imo the foremost authority on Sarasate. Maria Dueñas has mastered Zig at such a young age. Her style of playing really appeals to me, and I’m guessing I’m not alone. Not to detract from her virtuosity, but her pretty face and wonderful figure will assure her superstar status. She will be adored in all international concert halls. Berlin and Vienna Phil will demand her presence. Again, not only for her beauty but also for her technique and musicality.

[@bogdansulikowski8346]

No words to describe her playing. Bravissimo !!!

[@chili3452]

Excellent pianist

[@rattywoof5259]

Her pitching is perfection! Smack-dab in the middle of every note even at the ends of the most fiendish runs or arpeggios. This is the most technically brilliant performance of this work I've ever heard, and it is also musical to the nth degree. I think I'm in love!

[@Adinfinitum136]

Wow! Absolutely superb passionate rendition of this exciting piece ! 👏👏👏👏💐

[@rainerhoffmann1647]

Maria understood there was something permanent missunderstood in so called modern violinplay. And she spoke through her violine like a goddess to repair ....
