Welcome to my channel! I'm glad you visited me! I upload classical music documentaries and videos of my concerts as a violinist. I am also open to receiving requests for videos or topics to talk about these. I hope you support me and enjoy the content, and if you like it, share too. Best wishes!
What Maxim Rysanov says (47.45) about Janine Jansens natural qualities, I think also makes her recording of Bach's Partita nr.2 so utterly interesting and outstanding. She can make all the 'voices' in this piece 'talk' to each other and 'sing' together. I've never heard an interpretation that was as rich and at the same time so wonderfully transparant as hers.( I never knew it was such a struggle for her to record it!)
Sacconi destroyed many a Stradivarius violin by re-graduating the back, this unknown Mckay has not been touched by Sacconi that may explain why it has such a powerful concert sound! Who would "touch up' a painting of the Dutch masters or the like?
What a fantastic enrichment of my primitive understanding of this piece … and of the violin techniques. An absolutely great learning experience .. totally mesmerized by it really!
Just a side note. Much of the warmth, expression and texture of the violin tone in this video registration of the Beethoven concerto is lost in the actual disc that came out. I notice this very often, like the producers decide to smooth out, give everything a gloss. Another example that comes to mind was the promotional video registration/rehearsal of Mozart's Mass in C, with William Christie and Patricia Petibon, also on RU-vid. The sound of the rehearsal was dynamic, full bodied and textured. The Erato disc of this recording sounds distant and undefined in comparison. Janine's playing has so much more character than the Decca disc finally presented us. That said, great video of an amazing artist.
Can't tell you how much I appreciate this documentary. I AM A 62 YEAR OLD VIOLIN STUDENT. MY ADVICE IS DONT EVER GIVE UP A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT,EVEN IF YOU CANT READ MUSIC, YOUR EARS CAN GUIDE YOU BE EXTREMELY PATIENT. I REGRET HAVING STOPPED VIOLIN AT 6TH GRADE. THOSE
Dear Eduard, Thanks for putting this video on RU-vid up on your channel. I had it up on my channel until the folks at NOVA and or their PBS stations black balled it and deleted it. So don't be surprised when the same thing happens to you and your channel and have it removed. Best of luck, Keith Hill
Does anyone else find this documentary weird? It's mostly a whole lot of men talking about Janine. Or is that the point? And the men planning the magazine where the target audience is women :D I don't get it. I love the Falling for Stradivari -documentary where we actually get to hear her thoughts and approach.
Love the documentary, hate the resolution. What possessed you to post this video at 360p? I can get better resolution off an old VHS tape from the 1980s!
very sympathic film ! thanks ! ... about the beginning passage : Beethovens concerto ... "one of the most delightful works to play" she says trufully - and also to enjoy as listener/audience as well ! (in my opinion even the most beautiful concerto, even others have very beautiful single movements, too: e.g. Mendelssohn 1st 2n movement, Brahms 2nd and 3rd movement, Tchaikovsky 2nd ... and others, but in Beethovens work all 3 movements are extraordinary beautiful ! so it 'wins all comparisons in the end :-) (so far as such works are comparable at all)
