I saw Baeva perform the Britten concert with the NY Phil a few months ago and I really enjoyed. The concerto has a really unusual ending where it's very quiet and intimate, as opposed to the usual big ending most concertos have. She did a really great job with it, and I feel like that sort of ending must be incredibly scary to perform. You've just played 20-30 minutes and instead of going out with a bang you have to play very quietly and intimately, holding everyone's attention but not overdoing it. It was impressive!

We went back with his boyfriend who arrived at a later date. That brother is very ill now, at the hospital in Brazil. To cheer him up, I reminisced about the fun we had at the QEC.

Compared with here that ray cheng showed different interpretation of violinists how they played the ventage track Tchaikovsky violin concerto. I think I love ray Chen's playing better. No matter at the age of 20 that he won the Queen Elisabeth Competition or almost a year ago he play this vantage track again with Seattle symphony orchestra, actually his technic is very strong, his mucic is emotionally, and with a lot of passion also. I think the record that he performed with Seattle symphony orchestra is the best in the world, he also played with his vantage track extremely already. I hope I could watch this films again here in the near future. This is my favorite classical music that performed by ray chen.

@deanjones2525 When you say "No one comes close" I'm questioning what you mean. Of course, we all have our preferences, but there are technical criteria which are more or less objective when you rank violinists. "No one comes close" seems to mean there is a HUGE gap between Oistrakh (who, I agree, is one of the greats) and Heifetz, whom many (including me) consider to be the greatest violinist of the 20th century, if not since Paganini. I personally find Oistrakh's playing a bit "stuffy". His recordings of the Beethoven sonatas (the one's I've heard with Oborin as pianist) sound to me like he is afraid to make any mistakes. Of course, that is my perception and, of course, you might find them to be the most exciting thing you've ever heard. Fair enough. I'm just saying I think the statement "No one comes close" is an exaggeration. I think you really mean that Oistrakh's INTERPRETATION is the best. I can accept that. Do you believe that Heifetz' is hugely inferior? If so, please tell me more. P.S. Check out Roman Kim. He's 32, from Khazakhstan. WOW!
@deanjones2525
8 ай бұрын
@tbarrelier I've listened to Heifetz and juxtaposed his playing with similar pieces performed by Oistrakh. I do this with other artists as well. Julia Fischer, Mari Samuelsen, Sarah Chang, etc., and I prefer David Oistrakh above the others. Yet, I savour Julia Fischer's interpretation of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. I must say, I love Mari Samuelsen's Summer more - vibrant, powerful, and crisp. However, the weight, tone, pitch, and strength of Oistrakh's playing is, for me, perfection and sublimity in one. I'm not distracted by unnecessary and exaggerated movements of his playing. I can focus on his art - the music. I describe it as musical theatre. I see the story in the sound he creates. His transitions are not jarring. The listener is transfixed by the scene the music paints with each note. For me, it's a beautiful tapestry of sound.

Ray, You'll probably never see this but I'm curious what the logic is behind these videos? These pieces have all been performed many times, by many different people, and even a single soloist will perform it differently from one concert to another. I feel like the only way to really compare them would be to listen to a single recording that each soloist provided themselves, as the performance they're the most proud of, or best encapsulates their own interpretation of the piece. I write this because I've heard performances of the same piece, by the same soloist, that I've both liked and disliked. I think the violin itself can have an immense impact as well.
