Markov is one of very, very few contemporary violinists who write music for their instrument and play it. I once witnessed his son Alex interrupt his performance of Paganini's 24th because the audience suddenly burst into thunderous applause in the middle (left hand pizzicato) section - it was that good (astonishing, actually).... then he finished it and the applause was even greater. Like father like son.
I come back to this performance from time to time saved in my RU-vid videos. I LOVE to watch-listen to this piece every time!!! Bravo to both of you!!!
This is so awesome. this kind of performance where you physically do not do a "show" to please the audience is almost gone nowadays. Albert Markov only makes the most necessary movements to play the violin. and no unnecessary wobble back and forth. Such a pleasure to hear and watch this.
wow.. thank you for this..if there are more such as any concertos he played ,,live..the world would appreciate greatly. i am in philippines but i lived and studied in NYC. in my years in manhattan school...where he was the chair in violin dept..i accompanied one of his students in lessons..he was TRULY such a gentleman..and picked up the violin briefly to show his student the tones he wanted...i recall that he encouraged me actually to give musical suggestions at the piano and he d join in and then say to his student: "see..play with that approach" he at one point arranged for a piano quartet that our student group played in a summer festival ..and we did dvorak's Fminor ...this was in 1990 s ..i remember that he was SO ENCOURAGING to young musicians!! no wonder his student ADORED him.
МАНЕРА ИСПОЛНЕНИЯ ОЧЕНЬ ПОХОЖА НА ИГРУ АНДРЕЯ КОРСАКОВА. МИНИМУМ ВНЕШНИХ ВЫРАЖЕНИЙ ЭМОЦИЙ ПРИ ТАКОЙ ВИРТУОЗНОЙ ИГРЕ. ВСЕ ОТТОЧЕНО ДО СОВЕРШЕНСТВА. УДИВИТЕЛЬНАЯ ВИБРАЦИЯ КОТОРОЙ ОН МАСТЕРСКИ ПОЛЬЗУЕТСЯ. РЕДКО ТАКУЮ ВИБРАЦИЮ УВИДИШЬ И УСЛЫШИШЬ. НЕ БУДЬ ТАКОЙ ВИБРАЦИИ, ЛЮБАЯ ВИРТУОЗНОСТЬ НЕ ИМЕЕТ ТАКОЙ ПРИВЛЕКАТЕЛЬНОСТИ. ПРЕКРАСНОЕ СОЧЕТАНИЕ И ТОГО И ДРУГОГО.
Music like this will never be written again in this era. Because we didn’t have technology like we do today, people used their imagination to create complex music back then
