Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47 - Sibelius (Score) 

Hilary Hahn is amazing

To me it sounds like she’s working at it. This performance dispels any doubt if there was any that she is dedicated to her art as I stopped thinking about the technical side and was able to just listen to the awesome music.

Lol viola solo 4:50

@@dacoconutnut9503 Brett is gonna have to play the viola solo lmao

So you can roast him? 😂

Now 4 mil :)

I am now 55, and have known this wonderful piece since I was 15. When I listen to it again, it is like seeing an old friend again.

You arw correct. Truly a beautiful moment

I agree

That moment is amazing, but the thing that seals the deal is the chord that occurs at around 4:32. It is such an amazing chord and compliments the solo beautifully.

what is twoset?

What’s your favorite part?

Far from underrated buddy

Agreed. The whole piece is amazing. Too many people listen to just the first movement.

I love the second movement.

The second movement depicts the greatest musical orgasm to be found anywhere.@@MutantsInDisguise

damn now i can't unhear that

Yeh

OOOOOOH

DUDE SO IM NOT THE ONLY ONE, I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY!

Care to catch the Beethoven Vln Cto quotations too?

bassooon😂

Good catches! I don't know if it's speculation but everything you say makes a lot of sense, I like it.

i dont think i would call it a reference to hungarian rhapsody 2, it feels a bit too basic for that, but vallee d'obermann is actually also what i was thinking

YESSSSSS

The original video of the performance is posted on the channel of whoever recorded it, so you needn’t fear that!

this is why opus numbers exist, as well as detailing the composer on the program notes.

There is already a Mendelssohn on this channel but I think it is Anne Sophie Mutter

I don't understand what you're saying. First of all, it's 1(2)(3) (1)2(3) (1)(2)(3) 1, and if you follow the score the recording does exactly that. What do you mean?

​@@classicalmusicanalysis You're absolutely right, Roc. Sibelius manages to convey a 4/4 rhythm in 3/4 bars. I'm so sorry that I made such a silly mistake and I've deleted the comment. All good wishes.

2*

I don't think Tchaikovsky is nowhere close. Tchaikovsky's is incredibly basic in terms of orchestration, and it's a concerto for violin *and orchestra* - it's right there in the title: the orchestra is an integral part of the genre. Sibelius is by far the king of the genre, but Bruch and Mendelssohn are up there, too. I'd put Tchaikovsky at the end, really. Good tunes but his orchestration is incredibly mediocre.

Although I assume you are being ironic, for those who might not know, “poco forte” (a favorite marking of Brahms as well as Sibelius) literally means “a little forte”. Cellist Diran Alexanian said Brahms told him he meant “the character of forte but the sound of piano.” (Quoted in the book “The Teaching of Artur Schnable”). She does indeed have a very different take on the first movement from other violinists.

@@solowcello Hi Jeffrey, yes, I was being ironic, of course. Thank you for spelling this out for the broad audience!

😂

Useless comment.
