Patricia Kopatchinskaja | A Day in the Life of the Moldovan-Austrian Violinist

Patricia Kopatchinskaja is a musical natural phenomenon. "If I have the choice between perfection and risk, I choose risk.- it's more interesting and more exciting". We spend 24 hour with a violinist who says "just a beautiful sound is unbearable". Rehearsals with the Staatskapelle, salon music at the Brandenburg Gate, a meeting with choreographer Sascha Waltz and her husband, phone calls with her sick daughter and next a performance at the Berlin philharmonic.

I completely admire this very talented woman, especially when I saw her play along side another fine woman, Anoushka Shankar. Thank the heavens, thank the stars. Best.

[@michaelrainbow4203]

With such childlike simplicity she expresses divinity.

[@jackpayne4658]

I recently watched her performing the Stravinsky violin concerto. What joy, energy, and precision! She is adorable.

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

I think I watched a version of that on KZbin, with an opening movement so energetic that the audience burst into applause moments afterwards.

[@PeterFellin]

P.K. sure is a breath of fresh air in the world not just violin playing but in the entire classic genre of music-making!👍👍👍👏👏👏👌👌👌

[@danielrivera9788]

Patricia Kopatchinskaja is my hero. Devoted musicians like this Violinist are the reason I am a Composer, and why I continue to write for the Violin every day that I am in free pursuit of my art. What an inspiration. Her mastery and dedication are an inspiration !

[@JustFiddler]

Wow, the energy, the passion!!! I show this to my daughter whenever she slacks on violin practice.

[@iurieiurie3823]

Foarte frumoasa si talentata fata , succese mari in continuare , va admir !

[@grenvilleburrows281]

I saw her in Birmingham playing the Tchaikovsky concerto with the CBSO and Mirga. Two independent, unique, spirits together on the same platform. An unforgettable experience.

[@michaelstearnesstearnes1498]

I was fortunate in attending her performance of the Tchaikovsky Concerto in LA. She received a standing ovation after the FIRST movement. She encord with Legeti's Homage to Tchaikovsky played on an old upright piano!

[@ChrisMarchian]

Another example that very well composed contemporary music (in a very good interpretation) can be absolutely thrilling. Bravo György, Bravo Pat, Bravo BPhil!

[@alastairboles4437]

She's one of my favourite violinists, performing one of my favourite concertos (Beethoven). Fascinating insight into the life of a concert soloist. The good of the great performance and the sad of constantly moving on strwugh😢 afterwards

[@Io1564]

Just amazing! What an inedible creature she is, words fail me!

[@irinasto2554]

Patricia you are wonderful , thanks for your music.

Thank's Patricia we love you.

[@sripod]

I know music because of my close friends who play, although I am not a musician. I feel this woman is born for music!!...nice documentary. Thanks

[@robotnik77]

She's a little spark-plug, isn't she? She must be fun to be around, except when she's focusing on a concert. Well, it was fun watching, because she's fun Thanks.

[@Opoczynski]

Patricia, you are a great musician and a great person.

[@MaksimC-wc6qi]

[@maangamandai]

So much energy...

[@hushjohnny9543]

I'm floored seeing this on the last day of March. Yes, another spring is here. Although it's still very cold here in Michigan. However,...still being 'blown away' by this LADY I lost track to what I wanted to say! AH YES...watching this softened my mind, heart and soul. Something i'm not sure how to describe. Patricia seems like a person maybe not for me to be out here saying "I think she's a superstar or inhuman in any way, and I do understand that". As a rock guitarist I do have to say...You Patricia Kopatchinskaja so rearranged something in me so cool, and for the better for sure! I thank you! To me you seem so modest, and you say that your're just human, and that I understand. I bumped into this about you early this morning, after seeing you play with Anoushka Shankar...(that was really cool) made me feel like this going to be a better spring, a better year with more peace in our world! Wish you well! Keep 'rocking' girl! John. : )

[@kenjigyary8538]

John Nimitz Jr same here, saw her with Anoushka S.. Amazing

[@fabiusgraco5296]

Embora não tenha gostado de parte da interpretação que ela já deu ao concerto de Beethoven, é impossível não se apaixonar por um ser humano tão doce e inventivo; sem dúvida ela é única no que faz. Que as graças caiam sobre ela, pois ela faz por merecer.

[@chambermuses7802]

Lovely to see her cross herself at 22:38.

[@jacks5kids]

For sure a fantastic player, but did she get a funny look from the conductor for adding a note at 23:23 ? She's great at finding split-second opportunities to detach broken bow hairs. Seriously Patricia, get someone who is better at servicing your bow. Hairs should not detach this often.
