Julia Fischer & Daniel Muller-Schott - Handel-Halvorsen Passacaglia (HQ)

[@oliviacrews5822]

Two seniors at my sxhool have been playing this under the stairs and ir echoes all the way up to tge fourth floor, it's the best thing. Stairwells, who would've known,

[@sophiaschlenoff523]

Stairwells are a cellists dream

[@Minato22000]

I remember me and my buddy played this too in our senior year in the stairwell haha

[@chefclementine]

That sounds so badass

[@LPSskye7]

My best friend and I will be seniors next year and it's our goal to play this 😃

[@dAvrilthebear]

Starwell to Heaven!

[@vickic3087]

Am I the only one thought that it was cute and made it more enjoyable to see her laughing at the beginning? They obviously have chemistry... which I feel made the performance seem more even more emotionally real

[@paulwregg7011]

The question is: What did he whisper to her, before she was laughing?

[@foxmulder8955]

This is SO annoying when you play a duet with someone of the opposite sex you like and everybody starts thinking you are dating this person because you smile when you look at him/her during the concert

[@vickic3087]

lol I never said they were dating. I just wanted to emphasize that I thought it was awesome that they seem to genuinely enjoy playing together!

[@greenspiderplane]

This piece was already amazing, but your comment has made it at least ten times better! Thanks indeed!

[@ayy_lmao]

Why do people have to think this Why can't they just be friends

[@SYWPiano]

This is by far the best performance of the Passacaglia

[@matteoge14]

i think the best is zukerman and perlman's performance with violin and viola...is better than this sure

[@aregnav]

doctor light i like heifetz and piatigorasky's best

[@alricklothian6452]

I like Ha Na Chang's performance the best

After watching all the versions of Passacaglia, I've come to a conclusion that THIS IS THE BEST!! They played it in the best way!!

[@marcushilljr8246]

I would say Perlman and Zukerman is the best in my opinion

[@Alex-lu4po]

@@marcushilljr8246I also like the one by the Capucon brothers.

[@tommytecson6843]

This is like...the best duet for this piece ever. They literally emphasized every part of the piece the way I personally would want to hear it, based on the first time I originally heard a recording of it. The tempo pushing especially at the end, and the prolonged hesitation between phrases (that were perfect because of their chemistry), I mean damnnnnnnn

[@Sarkomedy]

Such beauty. Definitely one of my favorite duets; Violin and Cello are two instruments that really compliment each other. It is like a lovely chat between two lovers.

[@sofiapinto5024]

Emotional and powerful. Sadness and lyrical. It fascinates me. And it pierce deeply.

[@sitirable]

Agree with you..

[@xOALtoFrEak900Ox]

this piece is so dramatic, it just speaks to you. it starts with conflict and ends with a resolution.

[@ricaginelejorde2136]

Handel-Halvorsen created a beautiful piece that requires great technique and what's amazing is how these two gifted musicians are playing his creation. Julia provides great emotion and while Daniel delivers flawless interpretation and aggressiveness. They are both are honorary players in the music world and we should appreciate them for giving us the opportunity to hear them play.

[@MrPhchello]

I played this a long time ago for a masterclass before going to college. All I can remember was how ridiculously hard it was. Makes me want to pick up my cello again. This Performance was awesome!!

[@salrubz]

God, this sends the shivers down my body. Their intensity when they play is ferocious!

[@morganjohnston2585]

It's just kinda funny watching Julia bc you can tell she's being super expressive while playing but her face is just deadpan most of the time lol

[@D1scNStuff]

Morgan Johnston reminds me of jacqueline du pre

[@sophiaroberto3563]

@@D1scNStuff I love Jackie so much!!!! Rest In Peace she was the greatest cellist ever

[@thephantomeagle2]

She really has no choice. My mother played violin till shortly before her passing. She always told me that violinists that keep their chins on the chin brace don’t like to move their heads independently from the violin because it makes it harder to play. Watch players of Baroque violins, which are on the shoulder away from the face. You’ll find tons more expression

[@JameSongMaker]

[@squ1sh147]

Ive played cello for 8 years now and holy shit this is the hardest song I've ever come across for cello, not because its fast notes or intense rhythms just it's all over the place all at once and making you stay composed while doing so

It's amazing this young lady is both accomplished violinist and pianist

[@antwanmoore7900]

This is by far the best version I've ever heard to date and my 1st time listening was over 10years ago

[@nickjenkins471]

5.48 - As if the all the passion in the Universe is being channeled into that moment. Breathtaking. It is puzzling how the audience did not leap to their feet at the end as this performance is beyond exceptional.

[@free2singxgrl]

For those of you saying this performance had no emotion, you have to realize how INCREDIBLY difficult playing this is. This is probably one of the most complicated duets, and emotions follow getting the music and notes down correctly. Unless you have played Passacaglia and understand the amount of concentration it requires to make the piece amazing, which they did a great job doing, please don't judge their lack of emotion.

[@MRmuffin500]

This is maybe the most emotional performance I've ever seen! It's as if I understand every word Handel and Halverson want to say with this piece.

[@ciousli]

what an amazing composition, and they play it so fiercely. stunning and beautiful. thank you

[@Boomer.Roberts]

I love everything about this performance of this piece. I love that it's with cello, not viola. I love the tempo. I love the rubato. I love their chemistry. I love the sound of Daniel plucking his strings. I love their tuning. I fucking love when you can see the sweat drip onto the cello. God this is amazing every time I hear it.

[@KARIBIKunderwater]

TOTALLY AGREE! THE BEST INTERPRETATION EVER !

[@Boomer.Roberts]

RafaellGean While impressive (very, very impressive), I still prefer this Fischer+Muller-Schott recording. While the one you linked may be better in a few regards, for my own personal taste, this one here is still overall much better. I feel more passion emanating from Daniel and Julia. And you can't really fault the kid for that, he's a bit young to experience or emote the same level of emotions/passion, although you can tell he's already much advanced past most children his age.

[@WaynneKwon]

+Boomer Roberts if you like sweat dripping onto cellos then heinrich schiff is your man dawg ;)

[@sasoclassical]

I love it. How beautiful... I have never heard such a beautiful sound as this... I was moved to tears.

[@Sapphire848]

This is amazing. I felt like upbeat violin music whilst writing my essay and I searched for Julia Fischer and chose this at random. It's so lively and shows the virtuoso quality of the two duetists. I was introduced to her by my parents as we often watch the DVD of her Vivaldi's 'The Seasons'. I am liking her even more.

It’s the jealous 97 people in the orchestra that didn’t get to play

You are right...they are all great musicians!Each duo gives a personal intepretation of the piece and obviously each performance is unique and sounds different from the others but they are all beautiful!!!

This piece is harder than Dark Souls

[@katerina9300]

no one cares about your age

[@GothicKin]

Sanford Whatley I say it as a pianist, it looks hard at least.

[@JAJOZOMBIE]

which instrument are you playing and for how long? because i would consider this pretty hard

[@GothicKin]

Fsociety 101 It's a kid so he's probably playing it for not that long but sure they are not asking from him to be that expressive nor they demand perfect technique from kids.

[@JAJOZOMBIE]

But if you are playing a piece like this your technique HAS to be perfect. Otherwise it would sound shit. But thats just my opinion...

[@VRJaguarandi]

Incredible Performance, God bless both of them as well as the whole world.

Halvorsen arranged it from Handel's Harpsichord Suite in G minor (HWV 432) and I think he firstly wrote it for violin and viola....but I find the version for violin and cello so beautiful as well....

I'm ashamed to admit to only having heard the Perlman/Zuckerman version with the viola, although it certainly made due in it's brilliance, the verocity and spirit of this interpretation really sets my soul on fire. Bravo👏🏻
