Bartok probably couldn’t imagine his music played so beautifully and with such imagination. Patricia is a very acquire taste…. It’s one I’ve acquired a while ago. Love her. ❤️

[@robertwayne3561]

Like it or not, she brings a strong point of view to everything she plays. That's out of fashion in the modern era.

[@davidjared3402]

I agree; she really gets down to business. Reminds me of Janine Jansen, but perhaps even more serious.

[@danyahal7]

Wow...the most beautiful second movement ever written; we are lucky to hear the work of Patricia. Thank you. 15:30-18:40.

[@howardcohen6817]

I love it and her playing - fantastic.

[@eagle1ear]

Kopatchinskaja is one of the most audacious violinists ever. Yes, she is an eccentric! Everything she does is with total commitment and intensity. If you expect something safe and conservative she will not be your "cup of tea." If you are open to a refreshing new vision you will not be disappointed. Brava! And the Finnish Radio Orchestra under S. Oramo's baton is more than equal to the task!

[@thevector384]

She nailed it 😻😻🔥 She always has her own signature

[@bloopity4117]

Patricia always absolutely kills it and im obsessed with her unorthodox interpretations

[@wendychen5779]

One of the most authentic interpretations of Bartok's 2nd violin concerto. Personally, Kopatchinskaja's "bare feet" playing reminds me of Bartok as "an ardent student of folkways, seeking the roots of meters, rhythms, and modalities in the spontaneous songs and dances of the people." (quoting Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians). Wonderful!

[@RichardASalisbury1]

For some reason her bare feet put me in mind of a story about Bartok I read decades ago--probably in Halsey Stevens's book. One of Bartok's rare students of composition was an American named Bull Storm, who recounted that he once arrived for his lesson and found Bartok writing music while completely naked. Bartok wasn't as buttoned up as he usually seemed to people he did not know well.

[@kavalkid1]

That is the best rendition of my favorite Bartok composition.

[@carrywolf9714]

I love Richard Hendrix’ remarks about Patricia Kopatchinskaja. I had to think about her performance. He woke me up and I thought what I feel and examined what I feel about her. I love her playing, I like how she comports herself, I admire her violin playing, I felt charmed by her clowning during a Ligeti Violin performance, her playing in this recording feels earthy and grounded. Her music makes sense to me. She makes the music talk to me. I want to be present. I do adore gypsies.

[@hasmukhvpatel4539]

love the way she play.

[@christianbrodiez5287]

Les brusques changements de caractère voulus par le compositeur tout au long de l'ouvre sont totalement respectés , Bravo !

[@ОльгаЕлистратова-н1п]

Я под большим впечатлением! Спасибо за отличное исполнение! Оно так ни на что не похоже! Это потрясающе

[@reidwhitton6248]

She looks so young. I was surprised to learn that she's 44 years old. I like her passionate playing.

[@ormirian7364]

Next to Izhak Perlman who will always be my favourite, I think this is now my second favourite

[@user-gd3kf9z]

素晴らしい👍音楽は芸術だ！とつくづく感じる熱い演奏だった。 コパンスチカヤさんは、素晴らしい演奏家&芸術家である。

[@shawnmarko7131]

Very intrigued and excited by this player, her solo Sonata is amazing.

[@mohsensangian9855]

Oh goddddddd thank you thank youuuuuuuuuu

[@mohsensangian9855]

Im so excited

[@MegaVicar]

Wow! A great, passionate account. Her playing seems rather primal, ritualistic...and the bare feet too!

[@davidjared3402]

Yes: passionate, primal...personality!

[@bassethound1]

Enthralling. Left me breathless at times, where will she take this next? And having heard this concerto by so many, before her, it certainly made it new again. I prefer the Feldmann but I’ll for sure remember this version.

[@chajin]

Patricia plays the violin the way her father plays the cimbalom, and I mean that as a compliment

[@49testsamiam49]

lots of the viola concerto in the trancendental images

[@christianbrodiez5287]

Ce concerto est une épreuve pour l'auditeur ,mais Patricia Kopatchinskaja l'interprète merveilleusement bien ..

[@Ksuntiya]

Это потрясающе!!!

[@michaelstearnesstearnes1498]

A brilliant perfofmance by PatKop. Almost as though she's channeling Jelly D'Aranyi, one of Bartok's muses.

[@michaelstearnes1526]

Hopefully PatKop won't consult the Ouija board to evoke the spirit of Robert Schumann. But I love her so much that it will not matter. Her performances have brought great joy to my heart.

[@christianbrodiez5287]

Il est clair que Patricia Kopatchinskya a davantage d'aisance dans l'interprétation de Bartok ou Stravinsky que dans celles des œuvres des derniers romantiques .

[@carrywolf9714]

You know what? Bartok sounds so magnificently & naturally structured as a Beethoven piece might sound. Her idiomatic playing is like that time I had to desperately call someone in Italy and I was able to speak enough Italian to communicate with them despite no awareness of the language.

[@phoebezhao3479]

She just drive me crazy ,look st the face expression from the orchestra members 😂

[@49testsamiam49]

dang! she sure can make a gypsy blush!.. barefoot too!

[@domusaurea6938]

Non c'è sincronia tra traccia audio e quella video!

[@robertwayne3561]

If we can put a man on the moon why can't we consistently synchronize audio & video

[@jimyoung9262]

PatKop is such a trip. She definitely does her own thing. Barefoot. I love how unconventional she is.

[@simonwong2738]

Bartok is the only concerto she played didn't irritate me, weird soloist plus weird music turns into an exciting experience.

[@simonwong2738]

You may be right, I can imagine that, but Bartok is my bottom line, I can't handle Stravinsky.

[@emilelaurent]

@@simonwong2738 Stravinsky is now around 100 years old... But try this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noTWoJ-LrrGbhtk

[@domusaurea6938]

Esprimo un parere al quale non pretendo di attribuire alcuna veridicità. L' audio sembra provenire da una traccia precedentemente registrata sulla quale la violinista si muove per simulare la necessaria coerenza tra ciò che si vede e ciò che si sente! L'esecuzione è molto buona! Il suono sempre uniforme, privo di sbavature e non si riesce a trovare manco una piccola nota fuori posto. La Kopatchinskaja è violinista esuberante, ma piuttosto sciatta e se la mia riflessione fosse campata in aria, sarebbe la performance migliore della russa, da quando l'ho vista per la prima volta!

[@emilelaurent]

I can assure you that this is the video as recorded and broadcast by Finnish radio without any synchronisation. As for "sciatta" we can remind you that her recording of the same concerto with Eötvös won the ECHO, as well as Gramophones recording of the year and a Grammy nomination (kzbin.info/www/bejne/noTWoJ-LrrGbhtk). And many of her recordings have reference qualities, e.g. this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5zYdq2tadiqldk or this kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn27nIutjp2glck

I recently watched her performing Stravinsky's violin concerto. She seemed absolutely at one with the music, full of exuberant joy and playfulness. But this is disappointing - I much prefer Viktoria Mullova.

[@karlhitos2208]

Arghhh those feet

[@leonardobastos1945]

She's not for me...

[@BestAmateurViolinist]

Single handedly, she is the strangest violinist I have ever heard in my life. Does she even know what a tempo is? She's all over the place. But this is how she is typically. And she looks unkept as well. It's out of tune right off the bat and then she gets out of tempo. How is the orchestra supposed to follow her when she can't keep up a straight tempo ? And the third note of the solo does not even have an accent on it. She puts a comma before she plays it. It's not phrased that way. This girl comes up with the weirdest phrasings I have ever heard and they are quite unnatural. I do not like her playing at all. I think she purposely goes out there on a limb trying to be as weird as possible. another thing that I really dislike is that this is not a performance, it's a reading. She doesn't have it memorized. I have a big problem with that. Her second movement is washed out in the tone. There's nothing tender about it, it's more timid than tender. Her searching qualities are quite bothersome to me. By this time she should have made up her mind instead of searching. It lacks a solid continuity. And she goes for a flash in the pan instead of real substance. If she's not doing that, then she needs to get help. This is the most disjointed Bartok I've ever heard in my life.

[@carlossantana3049]

well she is soloing with berlin philharmonic and with top conductors!!! she is amazing. just unique. "out of tune" and tempo with her is making it her own.

Not only does she play memorized notes, but she also sees what is between the notes. Music is the silence between the notes. Artists playing only by heart tend to sound always the same. In contrast, Patricia's playing is lively, inspiring, always new.

[@donaldallen1771]

The first two notes have a slur over them and a cresc. The third note is separate and marked 'f'. You could argue that she over does the separation and that Bartok did not intend an accent on the third note, but rather that the cresc ends on the third note, forte. Or you could argue that she does exactly what Bartok wrote. But you say "it's not phrased that way". That is really quite an exaggeration. And this is folk music, gypsy music. She really captures the spirit of it, in my opinion. You are obviously entitled not to like this performance or her playing in general. But I think you've grossly over-stated your case. And your remark that she "looks unkept", which I assume should have been "unkempt", was totally unnecessary and tasteless.

[@sneddypie]

in music, you never stop being curious, and if you stop, you're not a musician

[@TheOperamore]

Do you know a single thing about folk music and Bartok?

[@duwir5959]

like everytime, her tone is not well, strange interpretation (so many exaggaration, tempi, expression...) On KZbin are with Tetzlaff and Hadelich better concerts of this piece. It´s not enough to come bare footed on the stage.

[@vectoranderson3641]

this so unfair i dont like your comment shes the one and only

[@m30owzz]

uh maam,,, she's insanely creative and certainly a breath of fresh air

[@m30owzz]

if she becomes similar to hadelich and other soloists, how is she setting herself apart? music is meant to be personal and it's how she interprets it that makes her style so special and memorable. her mendelssohn is an absolute trip!! i totally recommend

[@diegeigergarnele7975]

Creativity is not doing weird things to make a scene. This is a decent ish bartok for intonation and notes but interpretatively is extremely unnatural and completely opposite to the sweet and melanchonic style of Bartok music. But I guess it's easier to play Bartok in a ugly way and make faces while playing barefoot than to actually try to make it sound like actual music.

[@diegeigergarnele7975]

@@emilelaurent Andrea Bocelli got nominated for 6 Grammys, Gramophone gave him countless positive reviews even for him classical tenor recordings putting him together with Caruso as a great italian tenor and won 3 ECHO klassik. Do you want to know more mediocre artists recognised by the media just because of their commercial success? I have a lot of them. As for now Joshua Bell has way more recording awards than David Oistrakh so we surely know who is the greatest.
