Vanessa-Mae - Liebesleid (Sadness of Love)

[@c830124]

i dunoo whats the matter but i really enjoy the music! it sounds very soothing and romantic to me.. why are people makin comments on her?the music is more important and why..i think the music suit her too!

[@TheJonathanLugo]

Wonderful...

[@Fidi987]

I wish she would release more albums with music like this (like the "Clssical Collection") and played on THIS violin!

[@cissou357]

très belle interprétation, avec un tempo choisi avec justesse par une grande interprète ! great interpretation, with a tempo aptly chosen by a great performer!

[@brother234]

if you don't like her go away, cause her talent is beyond negative criticism, cause she has taken violin to new heights, making it popular again.

[@XOTAtv]

searching for inspiration and i found this... i just love this song

[@Lilandriel]

i've not heard this piece played 'traditionally', but her interpretation i like. i'm sure, listening to both, i would enjoy both. this seems to have a very light, almost playful, beat to it; i could dance to this, and have fun while doing so

[@LillyPrincess1]

so beautiful thanks much !

[@flora3576]

i love this song!! shes so good

[@aliceband2]

This a fine interpretation by a great violinist, I love it tempo is matter of choice for the performer

[@MoGotMilk]

@fluffynamedkimba I definately agree, can also be a match lit for a gas branded "jelousy" maybe its her style. Not alot of people would agree with it, like a person searching for love.

[@gstlab]

Beautiful playing

[@Ramzavisual]

wow the 2 are the best

[@cidaskyblue]

Muito Obrigada,....greet wnderfullll....

[@03lbcee]

A woman pulling the heart's strings

[@armalfatti]

Lindo demais!

[@gaswmskkorymva]

Why sadnees of love? I never heard that before

[@BringinSexyBach]

you can't just ignore beat values. that's not how this works. I started yelling at my computer like halfway through.

[@SuperDonna888]

@amrachow Everyone has a right to express their opinion, but do you have to be so rude about it? after all, it's only a woman playing a violin

[@piggypoo]

jesus, sounds like Joe Hisaishi if the title didnt tell me so. (Myazaki films composer) I LOVE WALTZ. BEAUTIFUL.

[@losmoneyful]

If you are looking for a gentler , slower and sadder version of this song, check out the Joshua Bell version or go with the original Kreisler version to see how he interpreted it. Personally, this isn't my favorite version of the song, but one can tell she is a good player. (I am a violinist)

[@hrhsam]

I think she played it decently. Those who are calling this interpretation an insult to Kreisler are being drama queens.

[@sneddley]

I think it's fast partly because she tends to shorten many notes to the point that the specific rhythmic feel of the waltz is lost much of the time. Maybe she just wanted to play it her own way, which at least in principal, is something I admire.

[@sixpencepictures]

@fluffynamedkimba i do agree, i have the same feeling that vanessa has been pushing the tempo for effects sake (a little like andre rieu!). maybe that is what musicians are discussing about when asians are taking on european music. saludos a todos charlie f. kohn at sixpence-pictures com fine art photography // design // madrid

[@magesy99]

@HarryAmon Hello :) The translation would be something like: "suffering (because of ) love"

[@McRat1968]

@fluffynamedkimba I agree. She's playing at the speed of light, like running down the street trying to catch a bus. Kreisler would spin in his grave because of what she has done to his work. She is clearly a pop-star trying to incorporate Classical into her repertoire in order to draw a larger audience. Nothing more. PS: She reminds me of Andrea Bocelli, the Italian tenor. He's clearly more Pop than he is Classical. And most of his audience are women screaming how beautiful he is.

[@kathkirkydrew]

@MrAranton : i agree. my son can play this and it doesn't sound this way when he does. i am no judge or expert but i really didn't feel magical when i listened to VM's version.

[@RasMajnouni]

@vikki2011 I was asking a leading question,since I've known the answer as a young boy.Its from the Jewish Torah,the words are a bit different,but the meaning is the same.

[@SuperDonna888]

@birdland5 hahahahaha spot on

[@RasMajnouni]

Where is this quote from?

[@oldgoat5]

listen to kriesler play it, then come back and listen to this again...

[@BLU3STAR89]

is this played on one of the episodes of sailor moon when michiru is with haruka and usagi catches her playing this tune am i right lol

[@SpaghettiDinosaur]

Why is this called Liebesleid (Sadness of Love)? Liebesleid means Love Song.

[@henrykszeryng5900]

No liebeslLIEDis love song, liebesLEID is loves sorrow or sadness

[@SpaghettiDinosaur]

@@henrykszeryng5900 Thank you for explaining this to my dumbass high school self from a decade ago lol

[@henrykszeryng5900]

@@SpaghettiDinosaur hahaha i didnt expect you to anwer

[@MrAranton]

@juhaszistvangeza: The score I'm refering to is a modern reprint of the 1910 first edition by Schott. Along with annotations and fingerings by the composer himself. It can't get much more original, unless you find an old print or manuscript. VM deviates greatly from that and I think these deviations change the entire character of the piece. Which is why I dislike her interpretation and find others that float around KZbin much better. Re-interpreting can work out or fail. Imho this one failed.

[@ms.ladybug7772]

is it possible to dance too thid song?

[@armalfatti]

Of course!

[@Aneedness]

Someone is jealous ;D

[@McRat1968]

@PreciousInPink When you said "no matter in what way they interpret it," that frightened me. It made me think that, if you were to hear a relative or friend of yours in the shower, singing what's supposed to be beautiful Classical Music, yet sounding, instead, like a drunk cat meowing on a fence at night, you would have absolutely no problem with that. (Yet more reason for you not to be commenting on something you clearly know nothing about.)

[@amrachow]

@Auggie56 lets say i am not even playing violin ,i dont have right to say criticism ?i should not say what is right or what is wrong?

[@Songy23]

where's the love?

[@thomaszuercherKUNDALINI]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅

[@SuperDonna888]

@kenxdyl Yes I SENSE some too. Still it is KZbin, where everything is analized to death, by such masterful ''experts'' That's how they become so famous, don't you know, 'cos we all listen to them?....Don't we? hahahaha

[@AthenaeusGreenwood]

/me sighs .... interpretation folks. One may or may not like it, your option, but it *is* the artist's interpretation. Given Ms. Mae's body of work, I think we can agree that she is an artist. Me, I'd like a crisper, more literal interpretation, but this is *her* version. What would be interesting is hearing *why* she made it so ... fluid. ^_^

[@magesy99]

The Sony Robot would have played this piece with more emotion... If you want a good interpretation of this song, check the one from Katica Illenyi.

[@McRat1968]

@PreciousInPink You missed my entire point. You're wrong: no, it's not ok to just play a composition in any way you please. They were written a certain way. They're marked not just in notes but also in music-expressive terms on top, etc. For someone to come along and play it any way they please, and to say that's ok, proves that the performer knows nothing about music and is seeking their own attention. (That's like some American Idol star trying to sing an Opera Aria. No thank you.)

[@assa123assa123]

you're right, I do! Joshua Bell is a youthful puppy-pornstar on the stage =D Hilary is somewhat more respected in this category. Though she doesn't usually impress me with music as well. Maybe she does only straight softcore scenes?

[@TxIxPxOxVxAxGxO]

guacatelas

[@SpaghettiDinosaur]

@HarryAmon Lol oops, got the letters mixed up.

[@SuperDonna888]

@stringfingrd hahaha... What's an ''Educated listener''?..Prsumably a so called 'Expert' In which case, thank god I'm not an expert!...so I enjoy Vanessa's playing to my hearts content and I think, that she's rather good. It's a pity you got ''Educated''...it must be difficult finding any music that you can enjoy, after all, what is perfection to one person, is not necessarily so to the next... Well good luck in your search.

[@Blue-iv1wy]

'traditionally',? . music is for the soul not for some pretty rule or word

[@SuperDonna888]

@dreamov2D.... Grrrr... are you sure you're not being mean? lol

[@masael255]

One need not create art to critique it. As Kant said the beauty of art can be best judged by its fulfilling of the need. If this doesn't fulfill the need of Mekuchika then it is not necessarily beautiful to him/her. The problem is that this field is subjective towards taste. While some critiques are useful "VM is certainly a fine musician, but I think she failed to capture what Kreisler intended," (MoerpheusElPadre) and others are less, "horrible,vanessa is not violinist," (mekuchika)...[cont]

[@moomoothemilk]

err, is she getting faster?? anyone?

[@mangoooooify]

Those who say that her playing is bad, wrong bowing and stuffs, can you play better than her? Action speaks louder than words. Post a vid of yourself playing this piece and we will judge. As if you know the instrument violin better than she does.

[@SuperDonna888]

@kenxdyl Hello Kenxdvl, it's me again, I'm just doing a bit of patrolling hahaha and yes I senSe some, still! hahaha :-)

[@masael255]

...but they still have as much right to say it without actually needing to perform the piece. Now if the claim was, "I could play better than her!" then the individual would be making a challenge that needs to be displayed. X_X Sorry, I've been writing papers too much...I need to be normal again!!!

[@qhaneveld]

I am not an expert, but I do miss the articulation and the somewhat staccato as Kreisler himself played.

[@renemartinez2009]

Debe de haber vuelto locos a sus maestros, como enseñarle a alguien tan precoz

[@MrAranton]

@mangoooooify I'm not a professional violinist, just an amateur. But I've been playing the violin for about 20 years now. I know my way around the instrument. What's your basis to judge anyone's violin play? All I'm saying is a professional like Vanessa Mae should be able to provide a better performance. Just take a look at the sheet music and listen to this clip. It's obvious that she's playing the piece sloppily. Besides: You needn't be a chef to taste if a soup is oversalted

[@victoriautube]

What has she done to poor Kreisler!?!?!?!

[@MrAranton]

This sounds as if Vannesa Mae was half asleep while playing it There is staccato in this piece. There are stops in this piece. And there are rallendando and accellerandos. They are what gives this piece it's character. In this performance she ignored these and thus nearly butchered the piece. I'm an amateur and I can play this. With staccato, stops etc. A professional be able to do much better. Even after a lot sleep deprivation...

[@andreabennington]

I feel nervous while listening to her playing this piece. The tempo seems too fast.

[@SabreToothGirl]

upload a video of yourself playing it better, then we'll see if you're right

[@Violinjunky]

No such thing as stretching the bar in Kreisler? You just heard it done! VM is not my "thing" by any means--but she has some talent--I just don't like her kind of violin playing. The thing that she does better than most is targeting her audience and marketing. And so what if she is dfferent; it's just another style and no one forces us to play like her, purchase her CDs. She has done well creating an "image"and style and that's okay. To me it's "camp" but to each their own.

[@Ddraig64]

What is really amazing is the lack of knowledge about her and her musical talent and background. Listen to her interpretation of Bach's Toccata and Fugue. Bach would have applauded, why, because in his time he too was thought of as a little extreme. Yes she is a "pop"star and thereby given a little more leniency by the masses. However, I guarantee if she was to play this piece as it had been written. You would either complain, or be astounded by her perfection. You just can't please everyone.

[@kyonist]

@McRat1968 Not to barge in... but, the point of singing in the shower is not for YOUR enjoyment... but the singer's... it's like masturbatory music. Who the hell do you think you are to strip someone else's freedom to pursue happiness when it clearly does not infringe upon your's?

[@Adnama3697]

She has a very good technique, but her interpretation of the song if to chaotic, personally I don't like it. I Love Joshua Bell's interpretation, it's tender and paused... I don't mean to say this in a cruel way.

[@fluffynamedkimba]

i think the tempo is being pushed the whole time, unnnaturally, way too fast....anyone agree?

[@Neno978HR]

It has nothing to do with Kreisler's music. She managed to destroy excelent piece of music.

[@thekingontheviolin]

when is someone going to dare to speak out about this travesty of manipulation of a child into a non entity non player who has achieved world fame whilst remaining utterly mediocre? do you all know that her step father is a famous clasically trained violinist in his home country? can someone explain to her and her teachers and her stepfather that there is a question of morality in classical music?

[@MurpheusElPadre]

I don't like the tempo. VM is certainly a fine musician, but I think she failed to capture what Kreisler intended.

[@assa123assa123]

The right word, to much porn now on the stage. add Sarah Chang as well. But of course they are pros, as are well paid. But the key component of success in their case is the face, not the voice

[@cchamp27]

I'm not going to say it's completely unmusical, but playing it rhythmical straight the entire time is completely unstylistic and eschews a main tool of expression

[@Mounteban]

Im not feeling the emotion

[@VoidWalkerOblivion]

Beautifully done, but still not one of her best performances. Perhaps her style simply doesn't suit the song?

[@freeqwerqwer]

Wrong bowing. Poor melodic line. Many times the melody was contorted too. This vioinist has no sense of austrian romance.

[@SolBuster]

Really bad playing? hahaha

[@katherineannenorton]

so unnatural

[@losmoneyful]

If you are looking for a gentler , slower and sadder version of this song, check out the Joshua Bell version or go with the original Kreisler version to see how he interpreted it. Personally, this isn't my favorite version of the song, but one can tell she is a good player. (I am a violinist)
