I used to have to listen to the first few bars of this melody in a horrible arrangement for electric violin. It was played over and over at the place where I filled my car with gas in the outskirts of Prague. Nice to be reminded that the piece really is very attractive.
Magnifique interprétation. Bravo aux deux artistes ! Merci à Sandra Shapiro pour ce beau cadeau. Beautiful interpretation. Congratulations to both artists! Thanks to Sandra Shapiro for this beautiful gift.
Beautiful! Wonderful interpretation.Phrasing, tonal colors, expression, the collaboration between violinist and pianist........ everything so beautiful! Thank you for posting this.
Exquisita interpretación de una pieza bellísima que increíblemente desconocía. La sensibilidad de ambos intérpretes lo hace posible. Muy pero muy agradecido..
Wow it was so good to listen to this beautiful gem of Dvorak's!!! The Elegy gives me goosebumps! I played these Romantic pieces with my daughter at her diploma exam! Beautiful memories, thank you for your excellent performance!!!
Thank you for your kind remarks! We have other recordings from the same recital on this channel as well. I hope you will enjoy them. As far as more recordings available, we are making a recording of the Strauss Sonata and Martinu #3 this December.
This is one of the best performance I have ever heard. The imaginative, live interpretation and truthfulness to the music makes this performance pleasantly unique. Ms. Shapiro plays passionately, but always honoring the character of the music as a chamber work where both instruments are united as one. I remember seeing a similar performance at the Prestige Colburn Conservatory in Los Angeles and feeling the same spiritual elevation. Now looking forward to Montecito Music Festival. Keep up the great work!!!!
Ms. Shapiro, many thanks for posting this affecting performance of the Dvorak. I came across this piece by happenstance, while searching for Mr. Zenaty's interpretation of Telemann's Fantasias - a recording I acquired 25 years ago, and somehow lost. Nevertheless, it's my good fortune to hear you accomplish such a lyrical rendition with Mr. Z.
going to play this for an upcoming recital, although I am a bit worried about not being able to make it sound all that lovely 😅 really is a beautiful piece though!
How wonderful that you are working on this beautiful piece! I'm sure that since you love it so much, you will play it with that idea clearly coming through. Enjoy and best wishes for your work on it. Sandra
