Beare's All-Stradivari Gala Concert
Janine Jansen - violin
Quatuor Ébène
Alexander Sitkovetsky - violin
Timothy Ridout - viola
Kian Soltani - cello
Enjoy the second half of our all-Stradivari gala concert, the grand finale of our inaugural Beare's Chamber Music Festival in 2022. In this concert, through our uniquely trusted position as the world's foremost violin dealer, we brought together eight of Antonio Stradivari's masterly instruments for one performance.
These eight come together in Mendelssohn's beautiful Octet, in the expert hands of our current and past Beare's International Violin Society artists Janine Jansen, Alexander Sitkovetsky, Timothy Ridout, Kian Soltani and the fantastic Quatuor Ébène.
19 December 2022 at Cadogan Hall, London

I've always loved the Mendelssohn octet ...... this recording might just be my favourite! Incredible coordination between all musicians, and the fact that all instruments are Stradivari is just astounding :)

Kudos to the sound and video engineers on the capture and mic choice. It really is great. The performers were fabulous. I love watching Jansen the energy just fountains out of her when she plays. They all were wonderful.

...Viewing my best, awesome, enthralling, connecting, spell-bounding and profoundly compelled to its grabbing one's focus on the midrange bloom only Amati can exude the heavenly bliss of a sound; so audiophilic - uplifts your soul. On bended knees, my"abyssmal" respect to these masterful string players. ,,, can"t ask for more ....

Heavenly -- very sensitive and expressive intonation. Those unisoni before the recap the 1st movt--tres splendide! Among many other beauties...

Had they been playing on cigar boxes, these masters would have made those instruments sing.

@paultaylor6821 4 месяца назад

What a pity Stradivarius himself can't hear this. Would he be astounded to know that 300 years later, players from all over the globe would be playing his instruments and that each one is worth more than a house!

He is more alive then you thought. When you hear close you can imagine his voice, characteristics in each note. Transcendenz in his pure form

What were the specific instruments played, does anyone know? Also, were these instruments what the players normally play, or just for this concert. I’m pretty sure the 3rd violinist owns a Strad.

@IntegralKing 3 месяца назад

$80M worth of instruments on stage, and just sitting on any random chairs / piano benches they could scrape together

@tedviolafire 3 месяца назад

I think it has something to do with each musician’s preference. More functional than decorative. Fancy wooden chairs are often noisy if you move a lot.

@erickoliverwawrzkiewicz3402 3 месяца назад

Chamber musicians often choose piano benches because you can adjust them. Cellists especially do this. I'm sure they each chose a chair or bench that was most suited to them and the backstage people took note and set it up for them. Also, I'm sure the benches and chairs are top notch.

@warrenj3204 3 месяца назад

Right? They really should be sitting on ornate, hand carved velvet chairs made by artisans to the royal courts of the 1700’s.

@stonefireice6058 Месяц назад

What’s your point? These outstanding musicians are producing unbelievable sounds from the best instruments, no matter what they sit on. Stradivari and Amati are given to extra-ordinary musicians only, by the fund, holding/owning those priceless instruments.

@gregmonks 3 месяца назад

Too bad you couldn't get your hands on original Stradivari instruments that haven't been completely rebuilt and don't sound anything like the originals.

@remifasolla5324 3 месяца назад

Stradivari has never seen a steel string in his life, and he intended his instruments for the tension of gut strings. Playing a Stradivarius with steel strings is either a superstition or a fashion

@greggoryrice7046 Месяц назад

If I never hear the Mendelssohn Octet again, it will be too soon. Vastly over-programmed warhorse that is more fun for the musicians to play than for audiences to listen to. Give it a rest, a long, long rest.
