Sibelius - Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47 (Maxim Vengerov, CSO, Daniel Barenboim) 

Cologne is in Germany and we know how to handle serious music ;-)

@@Altonahh10 What a nice place to live. By the way I'm a massive fan of your football team!

or even coughing as if they are in competition with each other! The CD also had brilliant sound!

Beautiful, it made me cry...

Obile Wong I agree. This is a great performance. I love this violin concerto. Sibelius' 2nd and 5th symphonies are fantastic...but there's more... the strings in final movement in his 1st, the brooding 4th symphony, mysterious 6th, classical and difficult 3rd and the very special 7th... Not to mention, as I feel it anyway, his "goodbye" in Tapiola... I've always been such a fan of the great man's work.

All of his symphonies...

I enjoyed it, a truly excellent comment 👍

I feel there's a huge difference when he's passionate about a piece, and the moment is right, something truly magical happens. You can see how he looses himself in the music, but even without the visual, it's so captivating. I saw him last year, and I had a good time, the whole first half I spent marveling at his incredible tone, and he's a great entertainer as well, but I could tell his heart was much less in it. In fact, maybe that's what allowed him to interact more with the audience. Here, there seems to be no vanity, no thought of the audience, not even much awareness of himself maybe except for what he's doing to produce the music. There was a glimpse of that magic last year when he played Vocalise as his last encore, and truly that was worth more to me than the whole program he did before.

Christian Ferras is perfect too

haha thanks for your analysis ;)

@@Euroarts You're welcome :)

I personally find around 19:47 to be my favorite passage. Hard to pick and choose since there are so many good ones but the poco crescendo being used is marvelous. Its expressed in a way that makes it highly remarkable for me.

It's such a one of a kind musical piece, every section of that has meaning, no filler.

I'd say that 4:28 is epic but yea it's also the bright part 👍

As difficult as it appears to be it's probably the original.

This is not the original version. This is: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5TB-J6xSq5o.html

Revised.

in your opinion, of course - music like life is not always sweet.

does it make your day better by being so negative

Oh really? Undoubtedly? What makes you so sure? Most instrumentalists of any level of fame don't think highly of themselves. Stop speculating. You have zero evidence. Vengarov seems opposite of what you claim. I see no sign of a big ego. He's an utter master and plays spectacularly and always has. He may move around a little more than most, but hardly. This man honors the COMPOSER. Not himself.

@@organboino need to take serious what that person says. I think he just copy and pastes his comment wherever he finds a great performance, to get attention or somethinf ;/ I just tell you Arielpaul, maybe do it somewhere else, and not in the comments of the world's best soloist 😅😅

​@ly2867, probably assuming that because he has something of a dramatic flair to his play style that he's egotistical - they may feel that it draws more attention to him rather than his sound. Very silly, nonetheless but that's my guess.

You really have no idea what it is to be a violinist of this calibre.
