Pinchas Zukerman & Marc Neikrug: Franz Schubert - Arpeggione Sonata D. 821

Franz Schubert.............. 🥰♥🎵............ he was a genius.

concordo, il maestro zuckerman suona da dio il violino,ma e ' celestiale il suo suono dalla viola!

[@cooldude5699]

I love it when the camera zooms in on the viola bridge so you can see how Zukerman changes tonal colors as the bow moves nearer and farther away from the bridge.

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

@@orchepiaviolinviola The ol' American "must-put-on-a-good-show" / cheerleader style playing of violin. Hilary Hahn used to bop around quite a bit too when she was younger (and still does the occasional strange torso movement). It is annoying to me. More so with Bell. So much more.... The one thing that bugs me is the unnecessary bending/crouching at the knees to exaggerate notes. Are the violinists not aware that you can achieve the desired sound without doing that ridiculous move? Hahah.

[@clairexu198]

@@liamnevilleviolist1809 i don’t think they do that purposefully. When you’re completely immersed in your music, you do not take the time to think about how to move your body- the music pulls your body with you. Yes, some people can play completely fine without moving their bodies, but others find musical expression in swaying to the music, or bending their knees. Excessive moving that interferes with the music IS bad, but other types of moving only helps bring out the music. Music is a PERFORMING art, which means that there is also a visual element to it.

hey, i dont know about the viola, other than of course what i hear in quartets. i also very much like his playing...what is it that you like it...as a violinist i love his warmth and expression, and spirit, but i could not say anything technically.....(i am a pianist). thanks!

[@violinynada]

De los últimos músicos con personalidad propia y reconocibles con los ojos cerrados. ¡Bravo!

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

When I was younger (and this video was available to watch, uploaded by someone else) I was annoyed that Zukerman played many passages down the octave...because my teacher at the time [and I was about 14 years old] said I had to play up the octave wherever possible. I said "Zukerman choose the lower octave" and my teacher said "well... you're not Zukerman, you don't get to call the shots". Fair point. After all these years though, I have this to say: instrumentluckyrenditions available to watch on KZbin. Long story short, I like Zukerman's choices! His tone blends well with Neikrug!

Interesting that he uses a fine tuner on the C string

[@iambw_rblx7145]

I'm not really sure why he has it, but in my experience the C string is slightly harder to tune with just the pegs.

[@hiddeb8798]

@@iambw_rblx7145 it has to do with the string length and the way the string resonates, on some violas it helps to put on a fine tuner.

[@peterbaxter8151]

The viola may have a wolf tone high on the C string. A fine tuner may lessen the problem. I did that with my first good viola.

[@magdalenaojeda3315]

Great video really! Thanks to those that put this amazing performance here: The title could include the key, which is A minor (The "D.821" is about the catalogue that Deutsch did about Shubert work)...Interesting approach to the third movement that everyone play it a bit more roughly: Love it!

I love them! Neikrug is a wonderful musician quite underrated, in my opinion. There used to be a video of theirs playing Schumann's Märchenbilder, and it was fantastic. I wonder how can I find it.

[@yaakovepstein1216]

As beautiful as this performance is, try listening to the same piece played on oboe and piano, with the wonderful Alex Klein on oboe. I'm partial, as an oboist, but I think hearing this same piece on oboe and piano may even be more beautiful. It's on a CD titled "The Greatest Works Shubert (N)ever Wrote for the Oboe". Klein, former principal of the Chicago Symphony, uses a special extended range oboe to cover all the notes. Incidentally, this piece was originally written for what Schubert called an "arpeggione", which was invented around 1823 and whose maker called it a "guitarre d'amour". It looked like a guitar and had the same tuning of its six strings, but the strings ran over an arched bridge, like that of a cello. This piece is apparently the only significant one ever written for the arpeggione.

[@Old1bear]

I am an oboist too, but still think the version for cello and piano is most likely to be closest to the original. There is a great version in KZbin with M. Rostropovich and B. Britten that is hard to beat! Cf. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4GvgJmQjJqJrac

[@hizaleus]

How do you do pizzicato on an oboe? I:) started to learn oboe but my instrument was ruined by a "repairman".

[@iCyclone]

Wow, I cannot imagine this on oboe, nor would I want to. This is very much a string piece. I guess since I'm a violist, I am partial to it on the viola. I can tolerate it on the 'cello. But a woodwind instrument? For me, no way. P.S. Nothing against the oboe. It's nice for woodwind repertoire.

[@yaakovepstein1216]

@@Old1bear Hi Philippe. The cello/piano version is indeed beautiful (how could it not be with Rostropovich and Benjamin Britten himself at the piano?), but it's also very different. For pure sound, I still like the oboe version better (that's why I took up the instrument in the first place). I think it goes to prove how wonderful a piece Schubert wrote, that on any instrument that plays it, it sounds beautiful. That's the real magic here.

[@yaakovepstein1216]

@@iCyclone Hi Cyclone. I completely understand your partiality to the viola since that's what you play. I also assume you've heard the oboe version. If not, check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3LaoX-mbtuin9E. You write you can "tolerate" it on the cello and the oboe, "no way". I think you're showing quite a bit of snobbishness. As I mentioned in a different reply, it's the piece by Schubert that is the magic here. Each instrument, played beautifully, displays that magic. I hope you can come to appreciate that .

[@othmanhassanmajid8192]

Titanium string maybe.

[@bearybear1418]

I read another comment and apparently it’s because of the string length and how the string resonates and on some violas it would work better than using only pegs but Idk for me the C-string is harder to tune with pegs than other strings so it might just be because it’s easier to tune 🤷‍♀️

[@curaticac5391]

It sounds very nice on the viola! Finally, a performer who gets closer to the right tempo of the first movement. Did Zukerman go off-tune in the first movement? Feuermann is still unrivaled at playing this piece.

[@antonboutkov862]

Such a tame performance

[@danyelnicholas]

What a viola sound! Too bad this it not a viola piece...

[@manikmaharjan9258]

I don't mean any offense and disrespect to the legend Zuckermann but I prefer this piece in a dark tone and thick sound. Like Richard O' Neil played in NYCP. I feel that's how this ought to be played. (Just a thought) 🙂 But the rubato and slides of Mr. Pinky are beautiful. And thanks a lot for this video. 🙂

[@iCyclone]

I'm not sure I understand this comment, since Zukerman has maybe the darkest, fullest, thickest tone of any violist-- that's actually his trademark-- what makes his playing unique. I like O'Neill's performance, but this totally blows O'Neill's out of the water-- and, again, the sound here is much darker.

[@andrewbrown8781]

No comparison, Pinky is just on a completely different level in terms of intimacy, tone, colours, sound quality and phrasing. No offence to Richard O’Neil, but ...

[@thopham7976]
