"Tzigane" de Ravel

"Tzigane" de Ravel interprété par Patricia Kopatchinskaja (violon) avec Jean Jacques Kantorow dirigeant le Sinfonia Varsovia à la Folle Journée de Nantes 2013
Réalisation Miguel Octave

[@JeanDeLaCroix_]

"If I have the choice between perfection and risk, I choose risk.- it's more interesting and more exciting", that quote sums up her performances.

[@Regis596]

Yeah, why perfection? It requires dedication and responsibility and who wants that od you can just shock and gry somewat od a response

[@mimiduc4951]

Gameminer letting your emotions guide you is a big risk. It can make you shine as well as putting you down. So the risks she took were absolutely worth it

[@emilelaurent]

@@Regis596 Who needs perfection in orthography?

[@sebastian-benedictflore]

Alternatively, another way of describing this performance is "not the score".

[@JeanDeLaCroix_]

@@sebastian-benedictflore mmh yes, but who cares ?

[@sslavi]

She has left me speechless. It was a very strong, personal and very original interpretation of Tzigane. Not a perfectly clean playing, but definitely an overwhelming execution. This is exactly how a gipsy music should be played - with the fire running through the veins. In one word - beautiful!

[@roseoreillysievers6057]

It stirs my soul. Beautiful

[@nbb2553]

I found Patricia through TwoSet. Though I am Twoset's fan, I disagree with their opinion. I think she is a genius. I think it's just a matter of taste and I am proud to say that I am now both Patricia and Twoset's fan.

[@curio_sphere]

How are you disagreeing with them? They also literally said she was a genius and that they enjoyed her playing a lot (more Brett than Eddy but Eddy looked sick and done with life in general xD). They were weirded out for real at first but then they were just goofing around & enjoying the music aha

[@vessiealdakou2292]

Me too!!

[@igo.spekkyjarvonvreich]

@@curio_sphere but they talked a bit like she was a joke violinist

[@oliviapereira364]

It was not love at first sight. The first time I watched her (Twoset) I thought her redemption was too weird and was kind of annoyed. Then I caught myself thinking about her harmonics and realized I was already hooked. Listened to her again. "Well, I gotta say it brings a whole other character to this piece, and it matches it. I think I like it." *searchs for other pieces just to get what is going on* ... ... ... a week later: "Woooooow, I've listened to all she's ever played, it is so true, the sounds she makes are magic, it is spooky because it is so unique, she really really gets Music, when is she coming to my country?"

[@santiagodaneyko4160]

Well, Twoset are so funny and they make many people know about music and such interesting works, but as musicians they don't step out of the academic standards... Music is much more than traditions and the way we've told to do things (taking the quality and in-depth study of music for granted).

[@Aleksandra-lf8ky]

prawdopodobnie wyższy standard muzyki całe stado krów uśmiercił 😮 z " statku UFO"🤣 , naszym rolnikami też już dają wytyczne by zaznaczali w wniosku kiedy i na jaką łące będą paść krowy?🤔😉

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

She is totally mad. I love it.

[@VivaTrox]

Quotenwagnerianer She always is, she does it on a funny way.

[@jimyoung9262]

Absolutely nuts. But man can she play.

[@any3593]

Во времена инквизиции сожгли бы ее на костре. Ну настоящая ведьма. Лучше Цыганки я не слышала и думаю, что уже не услышу. Вот это темперамент! Это настоящая страсть! Такое звуковое разнообразие. Она купается в звуке, скрипка не солирует, а разговаривает с оркестром, обволакивает и завлекает. Роскошно. Огромное удовольствие.

[@cjames0723]

PK is always such a joy to watch. She throws herself headfirst into every performance and is clearly just there to have fun and make music. She's incredibly expressive without ever coming across as pretentious or show-offy. It's like she's dancing with her violin.

Моя любимая работа Равеля и отличное исполнение.

[@drsofty8486]

45 years ago, in my childhood, i heard Tzigane and other Ravel pieces almost every evening for falling asleep. Since then I heard many interpretations of Tzigane. But her interpretation is so completely different and so revealing that it makes me think that I finally and for the first time really understood what Ravel meant with that piece. She very probable also heard some interpretations of other performers of this piece. It needs insane creativity and courage to shake off and overcome those and come to something completely different.

[@psakbar]

Absolutely agree with you. She's a breath of fresh sparkle. Now that's what Ravel intended. She speaks gypsy music -- and what fabulous orchestral accompaniment/interpretation!!!

[@quasarbacchus1173]

Pat, the queen of down bows. Also featuring Steve Jobs as the conductor.

[@frankborder]

Quasar Bacchus I lol’d

[@SharonYungViolin]

She knows the music and the Violin inside out. She's very spontaneous and in control, having both the musical and technical command. She plays like shes talking! Rare gem!

[@PierreAlexandrePheulpin]

Fantastic imagination.... Yes I want to listen to the end because it's so interesting and personal ! Everybody complains that the new generation play all the same in a formatted world, but still criticise when a violinist dare to play differently..

[@zivauri]

I think Ravel would have cried perfect diamond tears of joy down his patrician nose to have heard her play this. I also think that he would have written several more violin pieces.

[@user-pr5oq9wn5h]

When corona is done I am playing this piece like her and even more crazy. You rock it woman

[@rhondabuhler2984]

I wanna learn this piece too!

[@nickdick2]

A thing she does, but few people notice, is that she doesn't think that the soloist has to be in the foreground always and everywhere, sometimes she also play as accompanying other instruments of the orchestra… I appreciate that…

[@mayukayamauchi9616]

This tzigane is the best i have seen ever

[@Amin4l]

This girls gives me hope for the future.

[@naneeleo411]

very agree .. she is revolutionizing the area with great skills & unique colours ... A fresh whirlwind . Love her !

[@publicclammer]

Mere mortals have been outclassed by this enchanted woman...just accept that and go for the ride!

[@LorenzKerscher]

In a talk Patricia Kopatchinskaja has defined herself as the "wild boar among the violinists", but in my view she is a fairy who newly evokes the true and honest spirit of music.

[@publicclammer]

Well said - and I completely agree.

[@benjamincuevaseninde]

-- Patricia Kopatchinskaja est l'une des plus redoutables violonistes de ce début de XXIe siècle, un archet acéré, presque tranchant, un niveau d'écoute orchestral remarquable, une vision nouvelle de la musique, une ouïe exceptionnelle, une musicienne hors pair, virtuose & d'un caractère à la force propagatrice. Bravo. --

[@jimyoung9262]

Kopatch walks the fine line between genius and insanity and the world is a better place for it. What a force of nature...

[@belmon38]

Finally, something new!

"I wonder if I'll get Tzigane..."

[@munciyekahir1043]

At the end I expected her to explode or, I don't know, throw the konzertmeister off the stage or something :D Loved it, so different but so musical, this is what art is. Congratz bish. :*

Je n’ai pas les mots pour décrire les émotions que ça le procure… c’est extrêmement puissant. Divin. Humain… Merci d’avoir composé, joué, interprété, enregistré et partagé cette merveille

[@lea-ko7uv1ou7w]

Son interprétation du "Tzigane" de Ravel est juste excellente ! Je crois que c'est la meilleure version que j'ai entendue ! Le rythme, la musicalité, la justesse, etc... tout y est 😄 ! Sachant que je n'aime pas spécialement la musique dite d'époque "moderne" c'est assez difficile que j'accroche à un morceau de ce genre ... Mais là, j'ai accroché direct ! Bravo Patricia 😁 !

[@ГалинаБельская-л9х]

Постепенно попадаешь в очарование великой скрипачки, ее чародейство восхищает до глубины души.

[@sonicsnap1173]

Patricia is fan-tas-tic!!! By far the best version I ever heard of this splendid piece!

[@sachinrv1]

She plays as if, the Violin is just an extended part of her body. Simply fabulous. Patricia you are a wonderful :)

[@rainyday6430]

Feel inspired :)

[@ninoding]

Rainy Day yes

[@diegeigergarnele7975]

Usually I feel inspired by innovative interpretations unless it starts feeling like a lot of choices are exaggerated just for the sake of it.

[@diegeigergarnele7975]

But I gotta say as much as I don't like her in a lot of pieces this is one of the best tzigane ever (if not THE best). I simply don't like when she gives accents and make faces in places where it doesn't make almost any sense, especially in the beginning cadenza

[@jimyoung9262]

Exactly

[@concettabasiliagaristina7195]

Fantastica interpretazione!!

[@romanjaviergiordano]

[@mauchette]

wahoooo très très belle introduction!!! ...malgré sa jeunesse Patricia Kopatchinskaja diffuse une grande personnalité très affirmée !!! bravo et merci du partage ...

[@oleacadusa]

Patricia est originaire de Moldavie! J'adore l'artiste la! En plus, elle est tres modeste :) Patricia draga, noi, basarabenii, ne mandrim ca te avem. Si ne pare rau ca esti departe. Dar fiecare reusita a ta ne bucura. Succes in continuare!

[@a.krishna3924]

I'm both violinist and sound designer for film, for me, this may not be the most "Ravel" interpretation, but she nailed creating colors and imagery of this piece.

[@emilelaurent]

From her Facebook Note on the Tzigane: For playing Ravel there exists the elegant abstractly esthetic tradition of the French Salons. But Patricia Kopatchinskaja grew up with the Eastern-European folklore of her parents. When a small child she danced to it on stage. In the Tzigane she hears the origins, the village feast, the violent eroticism, at one point also the squeaking wheels of the donkey cart, she wants to bring this out even if it scratches and squeaks… facebook.com/notes/patricia-kopatchinskaja/ravels-tzigane-a-provocation/1813572532005852/

[@SerenadeStLouis]

She's kind of like the Janis Joplin of violin. Amazing, a little neurotic, and completely genius.... you can't look away.

[@LibraryPervert]

+Serenade St. Louis Except that Janis Joplin was ugly as hell.

[@maruschke2911]

+Library Pervert She just did not use make up or anything like this. she was not ugly!

[@misterbrucie]

+Library Pervert LOL. Because of course the most important thing about Janis Joplin was her looks.

[@vf7882]

totally can't look away. I got goosebumps from listening to this. it's beautifully enthralling!

[@naneeleo411]

ur comment is the only ugly thing here , mr. pervert !

[@Mezhlauk]

Magnifique ! Juste woah ! Bon dieu, ça me donne envie de jouer au violon !

[@belmon38]

This is a REAL ARTIST. We need more like her and less correct super-stars clones

[@nickdick2]

Right. Let's hope is the end of "politically correctness" also in classical music....

[@viewnet1]

I saw her perform this tonight! Ecstasy! Ravel with Kopatchinskaja! OMG. What-what!? They just reached in to pull it out from another Planetary Dimension. :) Overjoyed. Thank you Brilliant Musical Artists. Search to watch her with perform with Anoushka Shankar.

[@MrJohnverkerk]

Think I'm in love...(sigh) This girl rocks something else

[@diminishedthicc]

LOL im done

[@almthomson]

Now this really is a very notable performance - love it ot bits. Fantastic

[@volknerbat7049]

This is an eye-opening performance for me. I've always been taught to play exactly according to the score, and as 'correct' as possible, yet this lady challengs it all! Reminds me of Bjork!

[@genevievebauer323]

Interprétation très personnelle et très intelligente, J'aime.

[@georgegrisbi2550]

Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Une Alice Au Pays Des Merveilles :-)

[@Dylonely42]

Un pur chef d’œuvre, si vous demandez mon avis. Quel sublime orchestration et écriture pour le violon, le génie incontesté de Ravel qui continue sans cesse de nous fasciner.

[@ThomasDawkins88]

Possibly the most inventive and rhapsodic Tzigane I've ever heard. I can't say that I agree with all of it, but I LOVE the fact that she's making strong enough choices that I have something to disagree with, rather than just playing another note-perfect but dull-as-dishwater rendition.

[@sma1968]

Yes. This!

[@ctfamily40]

A-MEN!! Well said.

[@obiessen]

opinions prevent deprive, maybe just enjoy or not:)

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

Completely agree. I think this is the first time I've ever really "heard" and felt the piece.

[@xtop23]

such good commentary and i totally agree. imo her interpretation is sublime in its disregard for convention.

[@juanjoserestrepoduarte2733]

This is the closest that Ravel had thought about how it should sound. Amazing and unique interpretation

[@marilynnewilcox4371]

Oh she played this so well. I enjoyed her interpretation.😮

[@Kanderson5627]

I have actually been watching this for a few days now....never gets old :)

[@maximegenlis6171]

IL y a de la folie dans cette oeuvre magnifiquement interprétée. Ravel: génial compositeur.

[@coucoucmoi5]

J'avais l'habitude d'écouter la version de Vengerov, mais là... Je suis séduite par cette prestation

[@genevievebauer323]

Je voudrais insister sur la violoniste : elle est formidable !

[@malikjalaluddin3239]

Beautiful

[@newmobilestore8669]

Expressionssssss! Wow lady

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

Another thought occurred to me. There are singers out there with terrific instruments, but they never sound like a person actually singing. Then there are those who actually make you believe that that love song is being sung by a real lover. In the same way, she's not a violinist cranking out a dazzlingly difficult piece; instead, she sounds like an actual gypsy fiddler messing with your mind and seducing you. This impressed the hell out me.

[@guitarraviva591]

No hay palabras , un genio .

[@elifa9749]

Sooooo beautiful,bravo Patricia!!! 😍❤️❤️❤️

Truly played as a gipsy. Perfect.

[@utoobah]

[@adrianmuhavi2502]

This is a totally perfect performance, which has encouraged me to retake the piece. Bravo!

[@mediocre-violinist-]

i dont know how but shes doing alot but its never annoying or unnecessary unlike some other people(joshua bell). It just sounds free like a story, not notes trying to sound like music. She plays as if shes talking.

[@annakim570]

She’s jus AMAZING

[@ustwoalberts]

fantastic organic living sound- so ' inside your head'--as if she is alone,thinking,feeling i'm sure Ravel would have loved her

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

Interesting. She plays this with a quirky passion that I've never heard. Me like

[@afrofinka]

Gypsy violinists cannot do better as Kopatchinskaja did. It shouldn't be "100% clean" as most of the violinists play it, but really like fiddling.

[@yusriharis7599]

Is she beign posses by Ravell ?? What an expressive performance..

[@muslit]

'you can't look away' - exactly. what's important is the soloist, not the ravel. the ravel is a vehicle for her and nothing more.

[@frankborder]

muslit correct

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

I felt the exact opposite

[@billsullivan3920]

The Perlman recording of this work, on this site, should be heard before judging this video. He gives it that gypsy swing without mistakes and unwritten notes.
