"Tzigane" de Ravel interprété par Patricia Kopatchinskaja (violon) avec Jean Jacques Kantorow dirigeant le Sinfonia Varsovia à la Folle Journée de Nantes 2013 Réalisation Miguel Octave
I found Patricia through TwoSet. Though I am Twoset's fan, I disagree with their opinion. I think she is a genius. I think it's just a matter of taste and I am proud to say that I am now both Patricia and Twoset's fan.
How are you disagreeing with them? They also literally said she was a genius and that they enjoyed her playing a lot (more Brett than Eddy but Eddy looked sick and done with life in general xD). They were weirded out for real at first but then they were just goofing around & enjoying the music aha
Gameminer letting your emotions guide you is a big risk. It can make you shine as well as putting you down. So the risks she took were absolutely worth it
She has left me speechless. It was a very strong, personal and very original interpretation of Tzigane. Not a perfectly clean playing, but definitely an overwhelming execution. This is exactly how a gipsy music should be played - with the fire running through the veins. In one word - beautiful!
Possibly the most inventive and rhapsodic Tzigane I've ever heard. I can't say that I agree with all of it, but I LOVE the fact that she's making strong enough choices that I have something to disagree with, rather than just playing another note-perfect but dull-as-dishwater rendition.
It was not love at first sight. The first time I watched her (Twoset) I thought her redemption was too weird and was kind of annoyed. Then I caught myself thinking about her harmonics and realized I was already hooked. Listened to her again. "Well, I gotta say it brings a whole other character to this piece, and it matches it. I think I like it." *searchs for other pieces just to get what is going on* ... ... ... a week later: "Woooooow, I've listened to all she's ever played, it is so true, the sounds she makes are magic, it is spooky because it is so unique, she really really gets Music, when is she coming to my country?"
Well, Twoset are so funny and they make many people know about music and such interesting works, but as musicians they don't step out of the academic standards... Music is much more than traditions and the way we've told to do things (taking the quality and in-depth study of music for granted).
prawdopodobnie wyższy standard muzyki całe stado krów uśmiercił 😮 z " statku UFO"🤣 , naszym rolnikami też już dają wytyczne by zaznaczali w wniosku kiedy i na jaką łące będą paść krowy?🤔😉
Во времена инквизиции сожгли бы ее на костре. Ну настоящая ведьма. Лучше Цыганки я не слышала и думаю, что уже не услышу. Вот это темперамент! Это настоящая страсть! Такое звуковое разнообразие. Она купается в звуке, скрипка не солирует, а разговаривает с оркестром, обволакивает и завлекает. Роскошно. Огромное удовольствие.
At the end I expected her to explode or, I don't know, throw the konzertmeister off the stage or something :D Loved it, so different but so musical, this is what art is. Congratz bish. :*
But I gotta say as much as I don't like her in a lot of pieces this is one of the best tzigane ever (if not THE best). I simply don't like when she gives accents and make faces in places where it doesn't make almost any sense, especially in the beginning cadenza
PK is always such a joy to watch. She throws herself headfirst into every performance and is clearly just there to have fun and make music. She's incredibly expressive without ever coming across as pretentious or show-offy. It's like she's dancing with her violin.
Fantastic imagination.... Yes I want to listen to the end because it's so interesting and personal ! Everybody complains that the new generation play all the same in a formatted world, but still criticise when a violinist dare to play differently..
A thing she does, but few people notice, is that she doesn't think that the soloist has to be in the foreground always and everywhere, sometimes she also play as accompanying other instruments of the orchestra… I appreciate that…
I think Ravel would have cried perfect diamond tears of joy down his patrician nose to have heard her play this. I also think that he would have written several more violin pieces.
She knows the music and the Violin inside out. She's very spontaneous and in control, having both the musical and technical command. She plays like shes talking! Rare gem!
45 years ago, in my childhood, i heard Tzigane and other Ravel pieces almost every evening for falling asleep. Since then I heard many interpretations of Tzigane. But her interpretation is so completely different and so revealing that it makes me think that I finally and for the first time really understood what Ravel meant with that piece. She very probable also heard some interpretations of other performers of this piece. It needs insane creativity and courage to shake off and overcome those and come to something completely different.
Absolutely agree with you. She's a breath of fresh sparkle. Now that's what Ravel intended. She speaks gypsy music -- and what fabulous orchestral accompaniment/interpretation!!!
Wow!!! Who is this girl?? I was on the very edge of my seat from the first few notes, and she never disappointed me. Like emilelaurent, I got chills....on top of other chills!! I will return to this version time and again. What a blessing to my life RU-vid is. Every day I hear or learn something new.
As a composer I must say that for me my compositions are only outlines to be filled in by the performer(s). Almost like a playwright who writes in order to give great actors the opportunity to bring his characters to life. I am not a great believer in the notion that the score is to be taken literally and performed note perfect -- I see it as an opportunity for gifted individuals to take it over and make it their own. So as you can imagine Patricia is, for me, the ideal performer, and I can only hope that some day she might decide to perform some of my own work. As for Ravel, I feel sure he is enjoying this stunning performance from his grave as much as I do.
what a great comment and , as someone who is not a composer , strikes me as so clearly true as to defy question. your comment is exactly as id expect a true artist to respond. the journey, not the destination, is what matters.
In a talk Patricia Kopatchinskaja has defined herself as the "wild boar among the violinists", but in my view she is a fairy who newly evokes the true and honest spirit of music.
She is the first I have seen not to struggle through the pizzicato. She has better command of this piece than I have heard before. An emphatic performance with flair. The first time I heard it I thought a vastly different interpretation. Now I hear that it is that she is actually in command of this piece like I have not heard before.
intervalkid have you seen the Midori recording? She takes it substantially faster and is clearer. Her interpretation is very different, but just wanna make sure you see the Midori recording as it is quite impressive!
Oh yeah, she's obviously got the chops to bat this out with the fastest of them. But she subordinates her virtuosity--or uses it, as you suggest--to get at the soul of the music and express it.
At 5:59, sounds like a fiddler just sort of playing around with a melody, next to a campfire, then gradually the melody becomes stronger and turns into a hoedown. I love it 😻. After listening to this probably a couple dozen times, I listened to other soloists’ renditions of this piece, and they sound jarring compared to the beauty of this arrangement, and the orchestra is amazing in this as well.
Prouesse technique et en même temps c est drôle. ..y a du plaisir dans le jeu l expression...on attend toujours la suite comme un challenge plus vif plus étonnant. ..elle ressemble à un oiseau plein de tempérament et de vie.
Absolutely brilliant performance - my favourite version on youtube. She made it seem so effortless, but I performed this piece when I was a student and know that it's a work that was deliberately calculated to be as difficult as possible - the violin equivalent of Scarbo. Anything in the piece that *can* be difficult *is* difficult, and then a bit more difficult than you were hoping. But she completely nailed it.
Yeah, she did. But for the first time listening to Tzigane I heard a gypsy. I wasn't watching the fingers. I had visions and FEELINGS. I had never gotten this piece before. I thought Heifitz was the exemplar. Boy was I ever wrong
-- Patricia Kopatchinskaja est l'une des plus redoutables violonistes de ce début de XXIe siècle, un archet acéré, presque tranchant, un niveau d'écoute orchestral remarquable, une vision nouvelle de la musique, une ouïe exceptionnelle, une musicienne hors pair, virtuose & d'un caractère à la force propagatrice. Bravo. --
One of the best performances I've ever heard. She's got not only great technique, but also, and most importantly, musicality. She plays much more than just notes, and that's what music is all about. Music is not the same thing without the musician's personal touch. Erstaunlich Geiger!
@@a.n.i.c.k.a are YOU joking?? YES, She has a great technique!! (She performed with the bests orchestras around the world) Just because a performance is different that you are acostumeted, don't means that is a bad performance, you can disagree her intentions, BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE the opinion that she is untechnical... You must be other Twoset fan....
Anna Safrankova Those double stops were perfectly in tune, her playing exuded emotion. Remember that Tzigane is inspired by Gypsy music. She comes from a Gypsy family. She’s playing it as a Gypsy fiddler would play it. Not to mention that she has performed with as soloist with the Berlin Phil. Therefore, I don’t think you can tell her what good technique is.
I had no idea that this could be played so slow and sound anything but lame. But I'm beginning to think that she's gotten at an, if not the, essence of the piece. She brings out all the crazy gypsy mystery and sexiness. I'd always thought of it an pretty much just a virtuoso vehicle, but she subordinates all that to bringing out all kinds of things I never heard. I never heard the gypsy in this before. But this made me think of Bartok a lot. This was absolutely fantastic.
Son interprétation du "Tzigane" de Ravel est juste excellente ! Je crois que c'est la meilleure version que j'ai entendue ! Le rythme, la musicalité, la justesse, etc... tout y est 😄 ! Sachant que je n'aime pas spécialement la musique dite d'époque "moderne" c'est assez difficile que j'accroche à un morceau de ce genre ... Mais là, j'ai accroché direct ! Bravo Patricia 😁 !
un Partage immense, une Surdouée Magique, les yeux écarquillés, nous apprécions ???? se demande t-elle ... Une Cadence Sublimissime !! Bravoooo Miss !!
I'm both violinist and sound designer for film, for me, this may not be the most "Ravel" interpretation, but she nailed creating colors and imagery of this piece.
From her Facebook Note on the Tzigane: For playing Ravel there exists the elegant abstractly esthetic tradition of the French Salons. But Patricia Kopatchinskaja grew up with the Eastern-European folklore of her parents. When a small child she danced to it on stage. In the Tzigane she hears the origins, the village feast, the violent eroticism, at one point also the squeaking wheels of the donkey cart, she wants to bring this out even if it scratches and squeaks… facebook.com/notes/patricia-kopatchinskaja/ravels-tzigane-a-provocation/1813572532005852/
Yet another great performance by to me a new voice.Thank you RU-vid. Hope you are paying your royalties? And not making it too difficult to do so. Please inform the PRS here in the UK because this is where I'm watching it. Don't make it difficult for those that want to help you. Magical. This violinist is one of three that I can compare in joyous seduction to Hilary Hahn. You are lucky to have this video. Or is it me? Which? The difference is I can say 'me' without thinking of my bank balance and tax code. But you know this and will sadly still make the performer lose. And because of it there will be nothing of value left for this kind of quality that takes years of hard work and dedication to evolve, way beyond any kind of programmer. Your vision of the internet will starve culture of worth in the long term, and your economic concept undermines your authentic right to broadcast. Just remember you'd be little more than an empty computer format of digital kittens playing with balls of wool without this kind of content. Love , an EMI Associate Composer.
I think that she really took out that sound that makes a tzigane, which means gypsie. Her dress as well and i think she was barefoot playing. She wanted to feel like a tzigane and plat it like a tzigane. I am sure ravel would love it just how ginastera loved emerson arranged his fourth movement for the first concerto
this performance out classes any Tzinage out there. FUCKING AMAZING, FUCKING NEUROTIC, FUCKING SHIT. **eargasm** were do you teach? I want to transfer asap
Je n’ai pas les mots pour décrire les émotions que ça le procure… c’est extrêmement puissant. Divin. Humain… Merci d’avoir composé, joué, interprété, enregistré et partagé cette merveille
Chaque interprète a sa vision de l'interprétation....OK, mais j'ai du mal pour retrouver RAVEL dans le choix de"Tzigane" de Patricia Kopatchinskaja. Cela frise la vulgarité...
This is an eye-opening performance for me. I've always been taught to play exactly according to the score, and as 'correct' as possible, yet this lady challengs it all! Reminds me of Bjork!
Patricia est originaire de Moldavie! J'adore l'artiste la! En plus, elle est tres modeste :) Patricia draga, noi, basarabenii, ne mandrim ca te avem. Si ne pare rau ca esti departe. Dar fiecare reusita a ta ne bucura. Succes in continuare!
Meu Deus!!! Kopatchinskaja é um talento magnificente, formidável e surpreendente! Levarei anos até ouvir uma performance mais arrebatadora do que esta que acabo de contemplar! E se houver o dia em que o farei, certamente Patricia estará no centro do palco! Que violinista SUPERB!!!
She is incredible !!!!!! don't you just love these self appointed judges that come on the comment section. Love her approach to this piece and others as well. Love ya
Do Tzigane, gypsies, in their vast dispersal,and congregation, in all their complex variety,controversy too, of originality and virtuosity of human presence and identity, a resilience bound into their wealth of musical tradition, inspiration from history, life-style, struggle, strategy for survival, and aspiration, play music quite like this? No, perhaps not, but it's not a bad abstraction- and one well explored, a brave attempt.
La où elle est vraiment, vraiment forte (en dehors de son d'expressions) c'est qu'elle est capable de jouer à la limite du faux, comme sur un crincrin, tout en restant juste…balèze!
Some strange choices in interpretation however not entirely too hard to get used to. I don't understand some of the dynamic choices she is making and I think she might be undermic-ed which is making it hard to hear some of the sections over the orchestra. Even playing solo the introduction disappeared almost completely in parts. But hey anyone that can play this and play this live and this well gets the carte blanche to make artistic choices. So my hat is off to her.
The Perlman recording of this work, on this site, should be heard before judging this video. He gives it that gypsy swing without mistakes and unwritten notes.
wahoooo très très belle introduction!!! ...malgré sa jeunesse Patricia Kopatchinskaja diffuse une grande personnalité très affirmée !!! bravo et merci du partage ...
Helene Grimaud, Valentina Lisitsa, Patricia Kopatchinskaya and Julia Fischer, four of my favorite musicians who make every day 'whole' with their music making.
Not sure how I feel about this rendition of Tzigane. The beginning part of the piece felt very, very pianissimo. There was not that, ferocity element like you would hear if any other soloist played it. Quite inventive in some parts and in others, I wished her arrangement of Tzigane was played in its purity. Although, quite bold to go,off script so to speak. Tzigane as a whole is a virtuosic showpiece and it does demonstrate the capabilities of the soloist. Furthermore, when it comes to technical pieces as this, it is the violinist (in this case) to show the world what they are made of. It is essentially, a very long cadenza due to the piece being interpreted in various ways. I appreciated the harmonics throughout along with the pizzicatos as well. I only heard Sarah Chang, Perlman and Venergov play this and that is how I, myself would measure since those particular violinist blew it out of the water. In the case of this soloist, very virtuosic in nature and quite rhapsodic that incorporated "gypsy " elements. I think of Czardas when it comes to parts of this piece. I am now curious if she recorded any Bach albums. It would present a softer-more subtle side of her :)
Another thought occurred to me. There are singers out there with terrific instruments, but they never sound like a person actually singing. Then there are those who actually make you believe that that love song is being sung by a real lover. In the same way, she's not a violinist cranking out a dazzlingly difficult piece; instead, she sounds like an actual gypsy fiddler messing with your mind and seducing you. This impressed the hell out me.
I saw her perform this tonight! Ecstasy! Ravel with Kopatchinskaja! OMG. What-what!? They just reached in to pull it out from another Planetary Dimension. :) Overjoyed. Thank you Brilliant Musical Artists. Search to watch her with perform with Anoushka Shankar.
This made me log in just to Like it!! Love it! Love the madness! Think she captured hte essence of what Ravel wanted to transmit! Caught my attention form the get go! I'm a fan.
