thx mr.wang

[@patsymendham6102]

Just love the 2nd movement. A beautiful, playful conversation.

[@pwoody1958]

I have only really gotten to know this fantastic piece recently. I'm accompanying a university violin student, and have been studying it intensely. This performance is just as good as it gets!

i dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a way to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!

[@ahairyhaggis1449]

Amazing work by you and keep up the great work and I love your style on violin and your videos are very inspiring your work on violin is so amazing I can’t express it enough

[@Rx-mn5fv]

Played with both intensity and tenderness creating the sense of nostalgia that is one of the hallmarks of Elgar's music. Beautiful rendition . Bravo to both performers. Thank you for the video.

[@415coloredmylife9]

I love this sonata and this interpretation is spectacular...

[@dreamonbozomusic4747]

I also applaud the pianist in this piece because this accompaniment is not easy!

[@halloooo1duuuuu]

the piano accompliment is actually more difficult to play than the violin part XD

[@sandygrungerson1177]

try playing the accompaniment while holding the piano on your shoulder, then you can call it more diffcult

[@shin-i-chikozima]

DREAM ON BOZO Music You are ravishing！

[@sellogu]

Which accompaniment? I only hear two instruments playing chamber music

[@stepaushi]

The piano part is not an accompaniment. This is genuinely a violin-piano duo.

[@leonardocordova78]

Passionate, romantic and elegant, as Nicola Benedetti. Beautiful ...

[@wcsxwcsx]

Yet another wonderful find on KZbin. They never end!

[@giancitton2604]

1.movement. Allegro 00:00 2.movement. Romance (Andante) 08:34 3.movement. Allegro non troppo 16:20

[@bianchiviolin]

Under the fingers the Prokofiev and Elgar sonatas seem to occupy different worlds but in the hands of these two wonderful artists the sonatas seemed to be travelling companions. The lyrical passages were a joy and you would never know that the piano part in the last movement of the Elgar is clumsily written. Great team and great interpretations.

[@dreamonbozomusic4747]

I play that piece, and boy is it my favourite yet...

[@ddownbond]

This is music that can change a man. I'm awake now and I'll never be the same. 😇

[@bobleibholz3687]

Extraordinarily beautiful playing-thank you!

[@PaterEcstaticus888]

Excellent. Bravo!

[@drewlecher5995]

WOW! A massive work where the violinist and pianist accompany and inspire each other throughout the landscape of Elgar. This performance put my day on hold, as I had to truly listen to every note and it's nuance.

[@o.j.4401]

one of my personal favourite violin performances on youtube

[@halloooo1duuuuu]

this is simply amazing! Great interpretation, great composer! I love it! One of my favorites

[@Petroschristidis]

[@ernstschliephake522]

Bravo, gratulations dear Nicola, such a deep, warm and expressive performance...So this masterpiece will appear at Henle publishers next year! Remembering your concerts together with Munich Symphony and hope to work with you again... Greetings from Munich, Ernst

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Ernst Schliephake How are you ？ I am Japanese contributor . Give my regards！

[@Rx-mn5fv]

Wonderful performance full of the nuances of life. Absolutely the most sensitive reading of the second movement I have ever heard. Bravo to both performers! Splendid!

[@HenJack-vl5cb]

A magic!

[@mariangivens2684]

Wow, what an inspiring performance - thank you :-) Just what I needed to hear to help keep me practising before I play the Beethoven Concerto next week xx

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Marian Givens You are ravishing ！

[@maxjohn6012]

This was just totally unexpected and mind-blowing. Thank you for uploading.

[@Sabrintb]

I love this sonata, second movement is otherworldy

[@11musikerful]

very superior Nicola

[@lottakrachmach7522]

Große klasse

[@christianspillemose4074]

very good pianist (and violinist!

[@JohnKrug-d2r]

Someone commented that "..... this accompaniment is not easy"..... That's probably because it's not "accompaniment". It's a sonata for violin AND piano. The pianist has a part of equal importance and should get equal time in the camera view.

[@MishaSkripach]

Love your playing!

[@markuseschenhardt3670]

Elgar has to be the greatest Englishman of all time. And he even realized, the bicycle is mankinds greatest invention! if everyone would be as smart as him, there would be no man made climate change, haha!

[@GiuseppeCad]

Brava. 👌

[@bugatti103]

bravo!

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Emotion which cannot explain ！

[@luisfernandotapia451]

Elgar was a big fan of brahms

[@Phantomrasberryblowe]

He also wrote greater music

[@MBelloni]

thanks god

[@arfurwigwham]

How nice that the audience applauded after the first movement. It must leave the performers feeling flat when silence greets music that almost demands appplause.

[@UTubeSL]

+Brian W Well said!

[@arfurwigwham]

+Steve Lane Maybe we should start a movement.

[@UTubeSL]

+Brian W And applaud when we finish it.

[@jonteske4267]

+Brian W Actually as a performer myself, I prefer that the audience NOT applaud after movements. It breaks out concentration. We are not usually expecting it between movements. I would prefer hearing it at the end.

[@jbrkonthescene]

+Brian W Unfortunately, though the applause is solely out of appreciation and is certainly appreciated by the player it really is commonly preferred that you don't. It really takes away from the atmosphere that the previous movement establishes for the player to continue on for the next movement. The piece doesn't end until the final movement so clapping between movements is no different than clapping during the piece. But still amazing performance

[@Caroline-jt6ez]

The first movement is from Nodame!

[@morgenwanderer7430]

new life is brought to this wonderful work by these two wonderful artists... love the second movement at a faster tempo (despite the pianist's mistake playing a C# major chord at 10:33 ouch). Late Elgar, inspired by the fallen trees...

[@Musicrafter12]

This is no mistake as far as I can tell, it's in the score

[@naecarol.1988]

❤

[@koichimiyoshi2005]

Her Elgar is out of consideration!! Almost God's one. With concert and other pieces, she is just number one as Elgar player!!

[@krzysztofdybczynski5307]

Nodame Cantabile brought me here.

[@deanmiyagi6961]

Chiaki samaaa

[@marekputresza7319]

The interpretation is brilliant, but this claping people are annoying.

[@victorvalentino5872]

It’s not fair the the piano player gets to use his sheet music to cheat while playing all the while beautiful Benedetti gets no such cheat sheets!!! Not fair!

[@dpodsful]

The pianist is most likely juggling 10 additional pieces of equal and more difficulty. That's not fair, either.

[@guillermorochabrun3456]

Pianists don't arrive at pieces with other instruments, unless they are asked to play them by the other(s) musicians. So, these works are not part of their repertoire. It is quite the contrary with the other musicians (violinists, for expample).

[@olivernguyen1709]

? nicola is also using music though…
