Yehudi Menuhin Brahms Violin Concerto 1st Movement

[@asmith8815]

The late Sir Yehudi Menuhin will never be forgotten. His music lives and breathes naturally. This Brahms performance had uncommon musical insight. He has a indelible place in our hearts. For me, it has special meaning. I met him and we talked briefly on two separate occasions; once when I was 14 or 15 years old and 33. Warm and encouraging.

[@satyabawidamann8434]

Oh, what a wonderful experience!! What a fortune, that you could meet him!

[@stevegebhart8388]

I prefer his 1962 recording of the Beethoven but that is probably because I merely prefer the Beethoven. Menuhin ranks with Casals and Rubinstein and Heifetz as the greatest of the 20th century, or for that matter, all time. I had the great pleasure of meeting him in 1959 as a student living in San Jose, Ca. One of my most treasured experiences as a music lover.

I would really like to know what Brahms thought or had to say about this concerto

Bravo , Yehudi , Bravo , Maestro !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

So it’s true. Fritz Kreisler is officially the king of cadenzas! From Beethoven to Brahms, give him a theme and he will write music that is perhaps even more sublime than the original!!! Oh what a sublime piece and a sublime performance. Some “violinists” here are criticizing his mushy bow control and lack of clarity on some of the speedier sections. Well, let me tell you something, as an actual violinist myself, this is a mesmerizing performance. He’s an old man for goodness sake, so what if he doesn’t play every note clearly!!! He plays a solid 90% of them clearly! He’s still Menuhin and he still has that rich, lush sound that Menuhin and all the greats always possessed. Furthermore, if you want to talk about control, look at the time he takes to add little bits of vibrato to all of the sections that involve eighth and sixteenth notes or really any section of some speed or intensity. This is a very precise and really, very intense and heartfelt performance by an incredible talented soul. That finish after the cadenza ended and the orchestra came back. So serene, so intimate… Oh, just heavenly!!! Thank you Yehudi!!!

[@Santhosh-jn2xw]

you know what else, he's playing without a shoulder-rest that most modern players can't live without, plus he barely uses his chin-rest but yet manages to perfectly balance that Strad or Guaneri, to nail those double stops at his age is remarkable, yes I agree, an incredible talented soul and a mesmerizing performance! Lisa Batiashvili is impeccable in her magic with these classical pieces as well

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

@@Santhosh-jn2xw You said it better than I did😉 And speaking of Lisa, I’m seeing her for the very first time in 2024!!! My local Philharmonic Society (Orange County) has brought her and Esa Pekka Salonen to put together an all-Sibelius concert including his 1st Synphony and Finlandia as well as his Violin Concerto featuring Lisa. I’m very excited!!!

[@Santhosh-jn2xw]

@@Tennisisreallyfun Wow, I wish Lisa would come to Dallas and perform with the DSO, she has this ability to make her instrument soar above the notes, hard to describe but as a violinist you prob know what I'm talking about, I may have to fly out to your neck of the woods just to see her, I see she's performing in March, what's a good seat for the best accoustics in that hall?

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

@@Santhosh-jn2xw You know, the box circle seats are fine and I have tried them before, but they’re so overpriced for what they offer. I have season tickets for the orchestra terraces. They’re on the first level, but slightly up from the stage so at face level with the artists themselves!!! Not only that, but the orchestra terraces have those “terraced” seats so nobody is going to impact your view which, as I mentioned, is at face level, but far enough away so as not to be overwhelming as it would be on the ground. I typically take rows V, W, or X, and I like the Orchestra Terrace Right. Trust me, they are premium seats, and even better sound and view than the box circle which is the next level up and the “best” seats in the house, but not in my opinion as someone who has had season tickets for nearly a decade now. You will love them👌 EDIT: If you are in Orchestra Terrace Right, try not to go too far beyond the first seats of the terrace (seats 2, 4, etc…). You don’t want to go so far where you are facing sideways to the stage.

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

@@Santhosh-jn2xwI thought I would respond to you again since we talked about Lisa in this thread. I attended that concert back in March and I thought I’d share my thoughts. You were not wrong when you said that she has an ability to make the music soar, so to speak. Her sound is impeccable, no doubt. Full of warmth and texture. But what impressed me the most was actually her intonation. I don’t go to concerts looking for wrong notes as that would ruin the experience, but there’s always a little part in the back of my mind taking an unconscious tally and there was literally one single harmonic in the entirety of that Sibelius Concerto that was slightly off. And she had such perfect bow control as well with every note given exactly the right amount of sound and perhaps some of the smoothest transitions I have seen to date. All very clean, but not clinical, in fact the performance was redolent with soul and passion. In this season alone I have seen violinists such as Midori, Joshua Bell, and even Itzhack Perlman! Although no one beats Perlman, Lisa was actually a very close second. Just marvelous!!!! And she gave us this hymn or something like that by Sibelius as an encore. Not quite sure what the piece was and I’ve been trying to find it, but my goodness, it was heavenly🤩

That´s actually not his Cadenza, but Fritz Kreisler´s. You can find it played by other violinists in many other rercordings like the ones of C. Ferras, Berl Senofsky and Kreisler´s own recording.

[@herbertkronzucker8367]

While some of the much-discussed bowing issues Menuhin struggled with especially later in his career are also in evidence here, it is an incredible reading - there is so much more artistry here than in the vast majority of versions one hears these days. Most contemporary violinists play in much cleaner strokes, but few have a musical heart that is as true. An exceptional understanding of the aching singing lines in Brahms, and I love the delivery of the triple stops in the beginning of the solo that really "stand" in the room. This is outstanding Brahms.

[@世界唯一1.5假博士]

[@robertlang5331]

Beautiful gentle and lyrical. Shows that Menuhin , who could be very tecnically deficient, could produce wonderful interpretations if he was feeling inspired.

[@TB-us7el]

Всегда казалось, что Брамс скорее взрывной, невероятно эмоциальный и страстный автор, нежели это получилось у Менухина...сколько его слушаю, не покидает ощущение, что он занял место более достойного и его раскручивала мировая мафия и его исполнение было среднего уровня...здесь у него больше моцартовской лирики, рассудочности и некоторой схематичности даже в штрихах - видать, берёг себя в таком почтенном возрасте. Ойстрах и Коган были куда убедительнее и ярче - оттого и сгорели раньше срока...после них слушать Менухина нет смысла.
