Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Sinfonia Concertante K. 364 [Lawrence Power & Nicola Benedetti]

[@dougrife8827]

What a gem of a performance! One of the best. The description does not say if Power tuned his viola up a semitone or not. His instrument has a beautiful but dark tone that’s a great contrast to the violin’s brighter tone quality. Some sources claim that sharp tuning is not common today when the piece is played on modern violas.

He is playing it in normal tuning 😊

[@dougrife8827]

That's what I thought based on the tone quality. Not being a string player, I could not tell from his fingering. How do you know it's normal tuning?

[@johannespihl]

@@dougrife8827 I’m a violist, so I looked at his use of open strings and harmonics. For example he used a harmonic at one point at then I just checked if that corresponded to my own harmonic. If he had played scordatura it would not have been the same note. :-) It might be easier to look for his use of open strings than harmonics. If you then have the part or know which note it is you can check.

I couldn’t agree more. The bl**dy ad breaks come barging in mid phrase and smash everything in their path to pieces.

Die beiden spielen wunderschön, so innig, wie dieser musikalische Dialog es verlangt. Aber wie kann man dabei in der Körpersprache genau das Gegenteil ausdrücken? Wie kann der Bratscher sich von der Geigerin wegwenden, was vollkommen im Gegensatz zur Musik steht? Das finde ich sehr störend. Seine Bratschengruppe kommt bestimmt auch ohne seine Betreuung klar.

Why is he turning on his back to the lady?

[@patrickloew3058]

Because he ain’t no simp!!

[@patrickloew3058]

Also beautiful performance!!

[@peterlever2534]

Only when he has a sole viola section as he guides the orchestra at that stage (no conductor)

[@seelenlerche]

The music is written as a dialogue. As a very tender dialogue! So the two soloists have to correspond with each other!
