Prokofjew: 2. Violinkonzert ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Gil Shaham ∙ Susanna Mälkki

[@violinhunter2]

Shaham is one of the top fiddle players in the world.

[@marykier]

Wow! I love how Gil plays a concerto more like an ensemble work. He is right there, listening, reacting to the orchestra, playing “with” but shining above. One of my favorite Gil performances!

[@barney6888]

Shaham is a remarkable artist.

[@BritinIsrael]

I was present at the London Proms when Shaham gave a terrific performance of the Barber concerto. This is also a great performance . As usual the Frankfurt orchestra is top rate .

[@janluders5282]

Selten so eine schöne Musik und Interpretation gehört. Vielen Dank!

[@neilbrown8631]

Good conducting. Gets a great sound out of the wind section. Plus you get to hear things you don't on other performances. Gil S. is bloody marvelous of course. As always.

[@galas062]

thank you....how lucky to have susanna mälkki .......in frankurt...

[@MattWeisherComposer]

During the applause it looks like he says something like “That was the best I’ve ever played it. Wow, wow, wow.” I love that.

Большое спасибо за великолепный концерт!

[@ronaldbwoodall2628]

With its remarkably original and effecting slow movement and its exciting, brilliant finale, the Prokofiev 2nd is certainly one of my favorite violin concerti. (His 1st is also, the two being as different as day and night, a tribute to the composer's genius.) This is an extraordinarily virtuosic performance by Gil Shaham, the finale in especial really catches fire, and Malkki brings out many orchestral details sometimes not in evidence. I have a special fondness for Isaac Stern's Columbia LP recording which is quite different, but Shaham and Malkki have produced a great interpretation also.

Quest'uomo mette gioia! Thank you Gil!!

[@openclassics]

TOLL! Alles perfekt bis zum Anschlag! Dirigent, Orchester, Solist, Stück, Aufnahme. Ein Referenzvideo! Prokoffjef: SOOO viele geile Ideen! Ein Füllhorn!!!

[@raymondbaddeley6467]

Just wonderful from all concerned. How these top soloists can manage to smile at the conductor in the middle of a really complex passage is beyond comprehension. The video and audio quality is superb too, so many thanks.

[@pamelapeeper3173]

Saw him last Sunday performing with Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra! He's still smiling! Loved it!

[@neilbrown8631]

Practice.

[@johnfawcett4260]

The best live performance we've seen of Mr. Shaham yet... and I thought I had already seen the best. WOW! Bravo

[@hargesheimer1]

did you miss brahms with abbado?

[@johnfawcett4260]

@@hargesheimer1 good call! I have it on DVD. I will forever consider that one of the best Brahms's out there

Magnifico musicista e splendido violinista .

[@alecwilliams7111]

Thank you for running this. It's a beautiful performance of a concerto I've long admired.

[@MattWeisherComposer]

22:39 just shows the fun you can have when you’re an absolute master of your craft. It’s beautiful.

[@simonwong2738]

Best acoustic of several versions of Shaham available in Utube.

[@violinhunter2]

At 14:50 I can hear guitars strumming in the cello part and in the last movement, the sound of castanets almost tells me that Prokofiev knew that the premiere would take place (in 1935) in Madrid, Spain.

[@eirikcheverud6198]

Here for Mälkki, what a conductor!!!

[@frankborder]

bravo to the orchestra for totally tuning out the conductor in the passage at 3:35 since she is at least one full eighth note ahead of the soloist

[@michaelmainusch7237]

Herausragend, auch aus Sicht eines Pianisten

[@nickyork8901]

beautiful cantabile at the start of the second mvt, amazing bow control and phrasing

[@tomlin4179]

沒想到夏漢已年至大叔級以上了(去查了一下,結果才知他的年齡比在下還小,1971年生) ! 都快認不出來! 我對他的印象卻還停留在DG版CD的封面上! 我的記憶狀態就常像時空膠囊一樣停滯不前(它不會自動更新! ) ! 😅; 夏漢的琴音很纖細,第一樂章給我一種北國寒帶的寂靜蕭瑟印象(最終太陽應該已升到地平線或垂地雲之上),但第二樂章就沒那麼帶有寒意了,反而能感受到一絲溫暖,再落下至接近地平線上時則發出規模不是很強的炫光(在寒帶!？) ! 末樂章開頭似乎有點走音的問題(比較其他CD版本)!？這樂章比較難想像,第二次重聽時,結果大概是描寫落日因角度的關係而發出很強的光線,似乎是用「留白」的方式來描寫強光!？以前很少聽這首曲子,但第一樂章的旋律卻印象深刻! 那時純粹是在欣賞音樂性吧！

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses technisch anspruchsvollen Konzerts mit seidigem Ton der Solovioline und perfekt synchronisierten Töne anderer Instrumente. Die geniale Dirigentin leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im polyrhythmischen Tempo mit völlig effektiver Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!

[@bruno_dias]

This concert is one of the most enjoyable works of Prokofiev. I find Janine's interpretation on the available youtube video so much better. Much more nuanced, lively and with a sense of easiness Shaham can't match. She has perfect pitch and lovely amazing tone. Also, here, the violin audio is much more forward and the overall sound is less balanced with the orchestra.

[@alandeutsch9987]

i also appreciate the unique sound he produces. It's more as I imagine Prokofiev himself would've wanted it to sound

[@Marcel_Audubon]

Did he change His violin?

[@cscscscs8857]

Benjamin Tomas Perez Perez no it's still the 1699 "Countess did Polignac" Stradivarius.

[@violinhunter2]

Maybe he borrowed his wife's fiddle?

[@lectrosonics]

He also owns and plays a modern violin by Andranik Gaybaryan but here he is playing his Strad

[@robotnik77]

Very sweet; but I'd like it wilder, like one I heard many years ago from a late 1950s recording, but I do like Shaham - he's very skilled. There's just no 'edge' to his performance, and is the 2nd Movement tempo marked "plodding"? It's excruciating.

[@TheTucsonJeff]

When the soloist is playing, the camera needs to be on the soloist. To do otherwise is egregiously disrespectful to the soloist!

[@frankborder]

it's the very "in" thing to do. you can thank the wave of communism sweeping the culture :)

[@jonnieinbangkok]

I switched to another performance when I saw it was going to be a lady conducting.
