I read somewhere that Tchaikovsky wanted to give this piece to the most famous violinist of his time. But he refused to accept it, saying it was unplayable! Then Tchaikovsky went to the next most famous violinist -- but got the same reply. Unplayable! But today "everybody" must play it, which shows that "everything" is possible if you practice enough. And this fabulous performer must have practiced really much indeed! Bravo bravissimo! Fantastico! :-)
Pretty much all elite violinists agree that this piece by Tchaikowsky is the hardest piece of music to play, ever. Regardless of instrument, nothing comes close to the complexity of tchaikowsky´s work, it is said to be the pinnacle of human evolution. There are violinists who have been practicing the same piece of 20,000 hours in total and still say that they haven´t perfected it. Just to learn it on a basic level takes more than 10,000 hours, and thats for one piece of music. There´s a theory that says that it takes about 10,000 hours of practice to reach genetical perfection in anything you´re doing (playing soccer, football etc) but as for the violin, it is so complex that one piece of music alone can take that much time alone.
that's not true. there are several concertos that are more difficult than the tchai concerto. it does not take 10,000 to learn the basics of the concerto either. the study which you are ( i think) referring to is the one that says any skill takes at least 10,000 hours of practice to master, not 10,000 on a single piece. it usually takes 3 months of practice from the start of learning a concerto to the time it's ready for a first performance. no where close to 10,000 hours for just one piece of music.
Physics Only Show me proof of one person that learned the basics of the entire piece in 3 months (even if he´s already very skilled at the violin) it might be possible for a prodigy who learns 12 hours per day, but for every average person its impossible
Tchaikovsky originally intended to dedicate it to Leopold Auer, who rejected as 'unplayable'. Later, in his autobiography, Auer lied and said that he was merely 'preoccupied with other work' at the time. He had to lie because, by the time he was writing, the concerto had become famous. Instead, Tchaikovsky dedicated it to a very good friend called Adophe Brodsky, founder of the famous Brodsky Quartet, who apparently played it very well! But sadly, because of this, the first performance was in Germany and damned by a critic called Edward Hanslick, who is now rotting in hell somewhere. I hope that answers your question :)
One of my favorite activities is to attend the San Francisco Symphony. At 94 years old I am slowing down and had to give up up many of my activities, but never the symphony. It continually reminds me that dispite all the terrible things that are happening in our country and world wide, life is still beautiful.
Well typically, a soloist does have a role in the conducting that is almost equal to or equal to the conductor. Some orchestras perform without a conductor and use a soloist to lead.
Yes, Jhok... and it is a credit to the camera people who captured her skilful "conducting". I have watched this performance many times and it brings tears to my eyes every time.
And I ask myself, how could Tchaikovsky have composed such an exceptional work without ever having played a violin in his life? Only a genius of his stature was capable of such a thing.
Notice...she is not looking to the conductor for direction, she is giving him direction...with her eyes...and he knows it. This is rare and amazing to see.
They communicate, it's normal. He takes over when the orchestra picks up and she takes over when she interprets a solo. Also, she is looking, just not staring at him. She sees him with her peripheral vision.
Apart from this being a stunning performance, this video is a masterpiece in camera work. The timing of the shots, the zooming in on the relevant orchestra members as they play their part and the close ups of so many moments of Sayaka's virtuous technique are totally superb. The camera people have added their virtuosity to that of Sayaka Shoji. They captured so well the way that Sayaka cooperates so closely with the conductor. They have captured her joy as she performs the hardest passages with ease whilst flashing her knock out smile! This is a truly amazing record of a breath-taking concerto performed by the finest female violinist alive. Bravo to the camera people for making this wonderful video!
+sinisa ozanic Thank you, Sinisa. I find her performance mesmerising and this performance is an incredibly pure interpretation of this great work. Sayaka totally understands Tchaikovsky's mind and intentions and converts them into something that he would have been thrilled to hear. Each and every note she plays is perfect. Sayaka Shoji is an incredibly rare gem and a priceless treasure of this age.
Herbert von Karajan was the first to regard Japanese TV camera-work highly half a century ago. The director who understood well the music conducted the camera-work keeping the music sheets at hand. He could order where to focus and made his best choice very quickly among the images from multiple cameras.
This was the most perfect piece of music I have ever heard. This young woman was not only technically flawless, but she bought an incredible love of this piece to life. I don't think I will ever hear a more brilliant interpretation and performance ever. And on top of that I think she has a wonderful sense of love of performing. Brilliant. Nothing less.
36:38 “I’m going to crush it”.. I can’t get enough of her confidence and passion! I put this right up there with Itzhak Perlman’s and Janine Jensen’s interpretations. Loved the orchestra as well and tempo was perfect!
I'm 76 years old and this was the first piece of music that brought tears to my eyes when I was a teen. I have a cd of Perlman that I hope I don't wear out. I've downloaded as many videos of other violinists playing this as I can find on youtube. The video of Perlman playing this in Moscow in 1990 is unbelievable. Just wish HD had been around then.

This is the best recording I’ve found on RUclips. The passion and tension she puts in her playing, makes this piece sound absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait till Brett Releases his interpretation!
Sayaka Shoji is a goddess of the violin. She plays with an incredible passion, leading the conductor with her eyes and thus the entire orchestra. So much passion together with an absolute accuracy, and some little personal touches, all of them about how much she feels this. This is the best classical music video I've seen in youtube, by far.
You realize you're over exaggerating her I know she's talented but definitely lacks experience and skills that the elites have, to call her a goddess is not the best thing to say
The name is actually SAYAKA SHOJI (Tokyo 1983), she is the beautiful virtuoso of the violin playing with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra (Russia) conducted by Yuri Temirkanov (Russia 1938) during the 2008 edition of the NHK Classical Music Festivals, (Tokyo NHK Hall). In this video, she plays the "Joachim" Stradivarius violin made in 1715.

Vi que hay personas a las que no gustó, y bueno, como dicen "en gustos se rompen géneros". Me encanta toda la música, pero hay piezas en especial que me llegan muy profundo, que no las escucho exactamente con los oídos (espero que me entiendan) sino con el alma, escucho a Bethoveen, Mozart, Beatles, latinoamericana, etc. Infinidad, pero ésta y otras melodías hacen que se me salgan las lágrimas cuando son interpretadas con esa pasión, intensidad, amor. Gracias por compartir. 👏👏👏👏
So much so that Galneryus's song 'Angel of Salvation' drinks liberally from it. (If anybody should be curious, avoid the drastically edited promotional video; also, the live version of the song is highly energetic and has a real string ensemble instead of synths.)
As a self-confessed total ignoramus in all music classical, I have absolutely no idea what the story was with this masterpiece. However, I gathered from the expression on the conductor's face at the start that this magnificent, panoramic piece was going to be an incredible journey . Haunting, joyful, engaging; right to the most invigorating climax. One can imagine this to be the feelgood music during Tchaikovsky's time. If, in actual fact it was a depiction of another tragic circumstance, oh well! Shoji ought to perform more of his music if that is what will coax her shy radiant smile as often as this one did. Did I imagine her conducting the conductor as well as the fabulous orchestra with her nods and beams? Simply glorious and until they remove this video from YT, I shall be watching it over and over. I just adore Shoji Sayaka.
Brillante Sayaka Shoji sama, musicalidad nítida y super romántica, técnica insuperable, dulzura y pasión a la vez. La acompañó la Orquesta Filarmónica de San Petersburgo (Rusia), dirigida por el maestro ruso Yuri Temirkanov quien es uno de los mentores de Sayaka e impulsor de su carrera en Europa oriental y Rusia, donde es muy conocida y aclamada. Este concierto fue en Tokio durante el festival de la NHK en el 2008; ella tocó en el Stradivarius (1715) "joachim" que le fuera cedido a préstamo por la NMF hasta el 2009.
This is one of my favorite pieces, and I always end up coming back to this performance... the end of the third movement leaves me speechless every time
To play this you must be a superhuman, but she played it with all her heart and with so much humanity that she brought tears to my eyes. A special mention to the conductor who is absolutely brilliant
This piece of Amazing music, brought me to tears everytime I listened and some years ago, there was a french russian movie called The Concert, where this music plays a vital role in the movie. It' extraordinary piece or art, not always recognized....Thks back to my early days as a little girl close to my grandmother......
Quelle fougue et quel talent chez cette jeune soliste.En prime,de temps à autre un sourire si charmant. Perfection aussi chez l"orchestre et son chef sans omettre la prise de vue. Bravo et merci !
Mother of God, what a beautiful performance. The recording is particularly vivid. I continue to be amazed by the exceptional young talent playing the so-called standard repertoire. This concerto never fail to excite, but this young lady is very special. I love her visual interplay with the conductor. Five stars, and I bet those empty seats aren't empty anymore.
That was really something. The unplayable soundly played by soloist,conductor and a fabulous orchestra playing as a team, for a change and pulling it off to everyone's pleasure. Thanks very much and I'm sure Peter the maestro enjoyed it too.
Next level Violin playing here. And the skill in the writing, Tchaikovsky must have worked quite hard on the Solo Violin part alone, impressive to watch.
Yes, i do remember hearing about that, being one of the most difficult Violin pieces to play. She is an amazing Violinist, and must have been practicing hardcore, to play this with no mistakes and all off by heart. I love the main theme in the first movement, the rest of it is enough to simply listen to in awe and some interest, since it's so mindblowing.
+StarstruckAWF I do believe that the second movement is the most beautiful thing I have ever listened to. All the melancholy printed in those notes... And the way Sayka suffers them... Breathtaking!
In my opinion, the undisputed best female violinist in the world in since 1999 is Sayaka Shoji. The rest are robots who do a pretty good job with the notes, but lack the wise understanding and deep, deep passion of the truly wonderful Sayaka. Sayaka, you ARE the music you play. It is such an experience watching you feel each and every note, it resonates so beautifully and appropriately with your masterful touch. Your interpretation is superb. It is perfect and as unique, special and precious as you and the beautiful violin that you play. Thank you so much for generating such amazing Art for those lucky enough to see you. I can't imagine how hard you have worked to attain such mastery... but I really appreciate it. Thank you Sayaka. Thank you!!
Brian Rhie Hey Brian, I am only expressing my opinion here... I have checked out Sarah Chang - she's a great performer, but in my opinion, although she has technical mastery, she doesn't have the same feel, passion or understanding of the music that Sayaka Shoji has. Sayaka combines her truly emotional interpretation with technical mastery to produce a unique heartfelt performance. Sayaka conveys her emotion through the music much better and much more clearly than any other female violinist that I have seen. Once again, this is just my opinion :-)
+Brian Rhie They were both early prodigies, as far as I know. Same goes for most modern great violinists. I do prefer Sayaka myself, but I in no way look down on any of the others. We are extremely fortunate to have so many sensational violinists today.
Sayaka Shoji is the best female violinist alive (since 1999). I say this because she is just so much more overtly and intensely emotional than her contemporaries. Sayaka really moves her audience with her performance... Sayaka's popularity is growing because the audience can follow and understand her emotional journey - just by looking at her face as she plays with incredible technical skill. It is so enjoyable to watch her perform! If you were deaf, you would still find her performance very moving! Sayaka thoroughly researches the music that she plays. This is why she understands it so deeply. Her pure technical virtuosity means that she can relax and express herself during her performance. Perhaps the other female violinists feel the music deeply too... but only Sayaka shows it so clearly - you can see and feel her emotion - you can feel the sadness and joy as she plays and thus it is so much more of a moving experience than watching other technical virtuosos. Sayaka Shoji connects magnificently with the orchestra, the conductor and especially, her audience. She is the sparkling diamond!
Non ho parole...Sayka e il violino sembrano diventare una sola entità. Lei sembra l'incarnazione stessa della musica che suona, ogni suo gesto, espressione e sguardo esprimono una passione senza precedenti. Veramente una violinista virtuosissima.
+Maralegar My dad used to tell me that it is better to let people just think that you are stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubts. You just opened your mouth. I know that you are much more talented than anyone on this stage; this lady won the International Competition (World Championship) when she was only sixteen. I look forward to reading that extended resume` of yours enumerating your impressive list of accomplishments. With your four-word reply, it is obvious that you are a cultural giant whose IQ can be surpassed only by termites. Perhaps the libretto of this piece was beneath you.
Oh, Maralegar, Maralegar. There you go, opening your mouth again. Such class you show. Such tasteful insight. It seems that you might possibly attempt to learn by applying your final comment to yourself.
Having watched Fisher, Perlman and Shoji's Op.35, by far I like the most Shoji's interpretation. Not only because hers has the least flaw, I like her candour, and her respect for the music. Perlman takes it too lightly, and his intonation is a nightmare...
wow, I am surprised that no one mentions that yuri temirkanov is the conductor. he deserves some credit too... granted Sayka is fantastic and lovely...
Thank you so very much Tchaikovsky for your beyond amazing music! November- 2018-2019 year we are still very much listening and buying your records, CD's MP3's, HD Downloads plus whatever else is out there now a days. I LOVE YOU MR. Tchaikovsky.
pathos, pathos and more pathos.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wonderful!!!!!!!!! I agree with anothers comments about she is the best in this moment, I like -Mutter but this girl (i`m 67) is realy an prodigious, not only for her technical performance ....for her sensibility!!!! I Beg your pardon for my poor english!!!! but not only worl speacks spanish!!!
Until 2009, Ms. Shoji played the 1715 Joachim Stradivarius on loan from the Nippon Music Foundation; today, she plays the 1729 Recamier Stradivarius on loan from Ryuzo Ueno, Honorary Chairman, Ueno Fine Chemicals Industry, Ltd.
To me this was just a mystical experience. Sayaka, her violin and the music becomes one. She transcends herself and gets connected with the cosmic loving energy, creator and guiding force of the universe, that at that time is guiding her to produce sublimal music. The same force that inspired the composer. To witness her playing is not a memorable experience but a transformative experience that can make us better Human beings. Thanks Sayaka. I will be the first in line to buy tickets if you ever come to LA.
Such majestic music, and this is the best rendition I know of. Here is to the amazing Sayaka Shoji, this orchestra, and fine conductor. This piece is one that can easiiy be thrown out of bounds by improper pace, or volume contrast between lead and orchestra, but this performance is perfect in those regards.
Tan solo la perfección te llega al alma. Maravillosa compasión de Thakovsky y exquisita interpretación. Gracias por estar dotado de sentido del oido, para poder extremecerme con algo tan bello.
THE BEST PERFOMRMANCE OF THIS VIOLIN CONCERTO OF TCHAIKOVSKY AND THIS GIRL SAYKA SHOJI AMAZING BEAUTIFUL GIRL THANKS FOR UP LOADED GREETINGS FROM MEXICO CITY
Ce concerto mis en avant dans le film " Le Concert " est tout simplement sublime et avec la vistuose Sayka Shoji non seulement il prend une seconde jeunesse tout en relevant la touche romantique. C'est purement un délice des yeux et des oreilles. Fabuleux
This is the best player of the 35th symphony of Tchaikovki that I have heard before Sayaka feels and expresses intensely the emotion of Piotr Ilyich in this masterpiece. She lives the music Temirkanov enhances the vitality of the author's soul.
Wow, she is so expressive and moving to watch. Her facial expressions are just captivating and emotionally supplemental to this amazing piece of music. I love watching her as much as listening to her, for her passion and intensity.
Vraiment très beau . Magnifique interprétation. J’aime beaucoup votre complicité avec le chef d’orchestre. C’est la preuve d’une grande maturité artistique. Bravo
Sayka Shoji displays such amazing natural talent,that is clearly the result of many long days of practice in her young life,and plays the most difficult parts with a heart warming joy.
The miracle that came from Japan to enrichen our lives, the unique Sayaka Shoji ! Superbly supported by the legandary St. Peterburg P.O. conducted by the kind and great Maestro Yuri Temirkanov! There may be others interpretations at the incredible level of this one by Sayaka Shoji, but NONE BETTER !!! Bravissimi ! Currently 2018/2019) Sayaka plays the Stradivarius Recamier, wonderful! But I would like to hear Sayaka playing a Guarneri del Gesú (like Perlman, Kogan, etc.)
This has been my favorite piece of classical music for many years. And yes, Ms. Shoji is great. But, the orchestra supporting her is doing the best job I've ever heard. I'd love to know who it is.
i just absolutely love the chemistry between her and the conductor/orchestra. it's not enough to give a technical and emotional performance, so much of it is also about communication and being generous with those emotions. and those little smiles that dance across her face, you can really tell that she honestly enjoys what she's doing--and that's what it's truly about.

Este concierto fue en Tokio durante el festival de la NHK en el 2008; ella tocó en el Stradivarius (1715) "joachim" que le fuera cedido a préstamo por la NMF hasta el 2009.

Maravilhosa! Viveu para música.
Gracias por indicar los otros artistas que non los nombra el autor del video, me parece una falta de respeto
This is one of my favorite pieces, and I always end up coming back to this performance... the end of the third movement leaves me speechless every time
To play this you must be a superhuman, but she played it with all her heart and with so much humanity that she brought tears to my eyes. A special mention to the conductor who is absolutely brilliant
This piece of Amazing music, brought me to tears everytime I listened and some years ago, there was a french russian movie called The Concert, where this music plays a vital role in the movie. It' extraordinary piece or art, not always recognized....Thks back to my early days as a little girl close to my grandmother......
Maria Julia Muñoz Serrano I just came here after watching that movie... I cried a lot
me too, the movie introduction
Quelle fougue et quel talent chez cette jeune soliste.En prime,de temps à autre un sourire si charmant. Perfection aussi chez l"orchestre et son chef sans omettre la prise de vue. Bravo et merci !
Una bellissima pagina di musica per l'eternità ! ! !
Mother of God, what a beautiful performance. The recording is particularly vivid. I continue to be amazed by the exceptional young talent playing the so-called standard repertoire. This concerto never fail to excite, but this young lady is very special. I love her visual interplay with the conductor. Five stars, and I bet those empty seats aren't empty anymore.
That "Nailed it!" smile at the end.
That was really something. The unplayable soundly played by soloist,conductor and a fabulous orchestra playing as a team, for a change and pulling it off to everyone's pleasure. Thanks very much and I'm sure Peter the maestro enjoyed it too.
My favourite work by Tchaikovsky!
I could never pick a favorite of his, I just love them all!
Next level Violin playing here. And the skill in the writing, Tchaikovsky must have worked quite hard on the Solo Violin part alone, impressive to watch.
+StarstruckAWF Indeed. To this day, it is typically considered the most difficult Violin Solo to play. Let alone play well.
Yes, i do remember hearing about that, being one of the most difficult Violin pieces to play. She is an amazing Violinist, and must have been practicing hardcore, to play this with no mistakes and all off by heart.
I love the main theme in the first movement, the rest of it is enough to simply listen to in awe and some interest, since it's so mindblowing.
+StarstruckAWF I do believe that the second movement is the most beautiful thing I have ever listened to. All the melancholy printed in those notes... And the way Sayka suffers them...
Breathtaking!
In my opinion, the undisputed best female violinist in the world in since 1999 is Sayaka Shoji. The rest are robots who do a pretty good job with the notes, but lack the wise understanding and deep, deep passion of the truly wonderful Sayaka. Sayaka, you ARE the music you play. It is such an experience watching you feel each and every note, it resonates so beautifully and appropriately with your masterful touch. Your interpretation is superb. It is perfect and as unique, special and precious as you and the beautiful violin that you play. Thank you so much for generating such amazing Art for those lucky enough to see you. I can't imagine how hard you have worked to attain such mastery... but I really appreciate it. Thank you Sayaka. Thank you!!
Brian Rhie Hey Brian, I am only expressing my opinion here... I have checked out Sarah Chang - she's a great performer, but in my opinion, although she has technical mastery, she doesn't have the same feel, passion or understanding of the music that Sayaka Shoji has. Sayaka combines her truly emotional interpretation with technical mastery to produce a unique heartfelt performance. Sayaka conveys her emotion through the music much better and much more clearly than any other female violinist that I have seen. Once again, this is just my opinion :-)
+Brian Rhie They were both early prodigies, as far as I know. Same goes for most modern great violinists. I do prefer Sayaka myself, but I in no way look down on any of the others. We are extremely fortunate to have so many sensational violinists today.
Sayaka Shoji is the best female violinist alive (since 1999). I say this because she is just so much more overtly and intensely emotional than her contemporaries. Sayaka really moves her audience with her performance... Sayaka's popularity is growing because the audience can follow and understand her emotional journey - just by looking at her face as she plays with incredible technical skill. It is so enjoyable to watch her perform! If you were deaf, you would still find her performance very moving! Sayaka thoroughly researches the music that she plays. This is why she understands it so deeply. Her pure technical virtuosity means that she can relax and express herself during her performance. Perhaps the other female violinists feel the music deeply too... but only Sayaka shows it so clearly - you can see and feel her emotion - you can feel the sadness and joy as she plays and thus it is so much more of a moving experience than watching other technical virtuosos. Sayaka Shoji connects magnificently with the orchestra, the conductor and especially, her audience. She is the sparkling diamond!
Good point lascauxle
Per me una delle piu belle interpretazioni di sempre, una direzione pazzesca 👏🏼🙏🏼
Lovely. I can listen to this all day as well.
I never get tired of this video, every now and then , I listen to it
Sayaka es talento, dominio técnico, concentración, pasión y alegría, con una hermosa sonrisa. Yuri Temirkanov is the director. Deserves credit as well
Non ho parole...Sayka e il violino sembrano diventare una sola entità.
Lei sembra l'incarnazione stessa della musica che suona, ogni suo gesto, espressione e sguardo esprimono una passione senza precedenti.
Veramente una violinista virtuosissima.
Penetrante direi, un'espressione di talento veramente lampante
E tutto a memoria senza leggio. Incredibile ❤❤❤
Amazing performance, some people couldn't resist to applause at the end of the 1st movement!
I know I couldn't have
Yes greatfull
A superlative performance, especially the last movement. I will certainly seek out more performances by this violinist!
Bryan Ho stellar
+Bryan Ho damn this is ugly
no i just have taste xD
+Maralegar My dad used to tell me that it is better to let people just think that you are stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubts. You just opened your mouth.
I know that you are much more talented than anyone on this stage; this lady won the International Competition (World Championship) when she was only sixteen. I look forward to reading that extended resume` of yours enumerating your impressive list of accomplishments. With your four-word reply, it is obvious that you are a cultural giant whose IQ can be surpassed only by termites. Perhaps the libretto of this piece was beneath you.
Oh, Maralegar, Maralegar. There you go, opening your mouth again. Such class you show. Such tasteful insight. It seems that you might possibly attempt to learn by applying your final comment to yourself.
Having watched Fisher, Perlman and Shoji's Op.35, by far I like the most Shoji's interpretation. Not only because hers has the least flaw, I like her candour, and her respect for the music. Perlman takes it too lightly, and his intonation is a nightmare...
If all you could do for the rest of your life was to watch this video locked in a cell, it would still be worth it.
Bravo! So magnificent performance!!
I was moved and so I cried when I listened to this first time.
She is great....
what a beautiful piece music I enjoy very much
wow, I am surprised that no one mentions that yuri temirkanov is the conductor. he deserves some credit too... granted Sayka is fantastic and lovely...
I am totally with you, Bilgin. The conductor is SUPERB! He brought out the best in every musician there!
Bilgin talay,
What about the composer?
Yuri Temirkanov.....a Giant!
Agree at all, Maestro Yuri Temirkanov
Favorite of favorites.
I love her smile when she finished playing...
Sayka Shoji, fantastic performance! Solista magnífica! Gigantesca! Sobretudo no terceiro movimento. Bravíssimo!
U make me cry
So fucking beautiful I can't stand it. I cry every time.
+Darren Lyle legend
me too
me too
Thank you so very much Tchaikovsky for your beyond amazing music! November- 2018-2019 year we are still very much listening and buying your records, CD's MP3's, HD Downloads plus whatever else is out there now a days. I LOVE YOU MR. Tchaikovsky.
I LOVE HER MUSIC SO MUCH...!!
pathos, pathos and more pathos.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wonderful!!!!!!!!! I agree with anothers comments about she is the best in this moment, I like -Mutter but this girl (i`m 67) is realy an prodigious, not only for her technical performance ....for her sensibility!!!! I Beg your pardon for my poor english!!!! but not only worl speacks spanish!!!
This brought tears to my eyes.
Estupendo, bellísimo, lleno de amor, refleja, la amargura que pasaba el compositor cuando la escribió. Sayaca preciosa Dios te bendiga.
"Спасибо" said she to the conductor at the end.
Incomparable Tchaikovsky mi compositor favorito
Maravillosa la manera en que Tchaikovsky trabaja la figura principal para llevarla a una gravísima explosión. Uno de mis conciertos preferidos.
Until 2009, Ms. Shoji played the 1715 Joachim Stradivarius on loan from the Nippon Music Foundation; today, she plays the 1729 Recamier Stradivarius on loan from Ryuzo Ueno, Honorary Chairman, Ueno Fine Chemicals Industry, Ltd.
this has been my favorite piece since i was 2 years old
She is best violinist I have ever listened. She has increlibly accurate technique and I could listen everything what composer intentioned.
Perfect tempo - love the fast version so much
To me this was just a mystical experience. Sayaka, her violin and the music becomes one. She transcends herself and gets connected with the cosmic loving energy, creator and guiding force of the universe, that at that time is guiding her to produce sublimal music. The same force that inspired the composer. To witness her playing is not a memorable experience but a transformative experience that can make us better Human beings. Thanks Sayaka. I will be the first in line to buy tickets if you ever come to LA.
walter buitrago This rendition of the concerto is transcendent, for sure.
walter buitrago That, and she probably smells good too.
Este concierto es fantástico y la violinista sublime
Lol thats some bullshit, stop looking for fancy words to sound smart and focus on coherence.

On March 23, 2018 I will see her in Cluj-Napoca, Romania! Can't wait!
Such majestic music, and this is the best rendition I know of.
Here is to the amazing Sayaka Shoji, this orchestra, and fine conductor. This piece is one that can easiiy be thrown out of bounds by improper pace, or volume contrast between lead and orchestra, but this performance is perfect in those regards.
Tan solo la perfección te llega al alma. Maravillosa compasión de Thakovsky y exquisita interpretación.
Gracias por estar dotado de sentido del oido, para poder extremecerme con algo tan bello.
Muy cierto. Le doy toda la razón.
Estoy orgullosa de que seas una persona apasionada por la música clásica, en especial viniendo de Tchaikovsky ❤🎶
I've listened to many performances, but I always come back here. I think hers is my favourite.
Sayaka...not Sayka....wonderful performance! Utsukushi ongaku!.
Good lord ! It's magnificent.
THE BEST PERFOMRMANCE OF THIS VIOLIN CONCERTO OF TCHAIKOVSKY AND THIS GIRL SAYKA SHOJI AMAZING BEAUTIFUL GIRL THANKS FOR UP LOADED GREETINGS FROM MEXICO CITY
Please excuse me, the name is really Sayaka, not Sayka
Jednou větou...krása...❤
Ce concerto mis en avant dans le film " Le Concert " est tout simplement sublime et avec la vistuose Sayka Shoji
non seulement il prend une seconde jeunesse tout en relevant la touche romantique. C'est purement un délice des yeux et des oreilles.
Fabuleux
Deliciosa película.
The intellect that it takes to do this is almost unnatural. My hat is off.
simply amazing bow control, I cant fathom how she's able to play and switch so freely between the bridge and fingerboard without scratching!
Papá, te extraño mucho. Gracias por mostrarme esta música tan maravillosa. 😍
This is the best player of the 35th symphony of Tchaikovki that I have heard before
Sayaka feels and expresses intensely the emotion of Piotr Ilyich in this masterpiece.
She lives the music
Temirkanov enhances the vitality of the author's soul.
Sayka Shoji's interpretation to this concerto is absolutely astonishing! See you soon in Singapore!
Wow, she is so expressive and moving to watch. Her facial expressions are just captivating and emotionally supplemental to this amazing piece of music. I love watching her as much as listening to her, for her passion and intensity.
No me canso de volver una y otra vez a ver y escuchar a esta maravillosa interprete , embelleciendo aún más esta obra magnífica BRAVO!!!!!!!
Vraiment très beau . Magnifique interprétation. J’aime beaucoup votre complicité avec le chef d’orchestre. C’est la preuve d’une grande maturité artistique. Bravo
Sayaka Shoji é simplesmente GIGANTESCA!!! BRAVÍSSIMO!
Sayka Shoji displays such amazing natural talent,that is clearly the result of many long days of practice in her young
life,and plays the most difficult parts with a heart warming joy.
the only piece that's ever truly brought me to tears.
There's always this melancholic tone that Tchaikovsky seems to have in all of his music.
The miracle that came from Japan to enrichen our lives, the unique Sayaka Shoji ! Superbly supported by the legandary St. Peterburg P.O. conducted by the kind and great Maestro Yuri Temirkanov! There may be others interpretations at the incredible level of this one by Sayaka Shoji, but NONE BETTER !!! Bravissimi ! Currently 2018/2019) Sayaka plays the Stradivarius Recamier, wonderful! But I would like to hear Sayaka playing a Guarneri del Gesú (like Perlman, Kogan, etc.)
ENORME , PASIONAL, TALENTOSA ,, SAYAKA SHOJI ,, ÚNICA ... !!!!!!
This has been my favorite piece of classical music for many years. And yes, Ms. Shoji is great.
But, the orchestra supporting her is doing the best job I've ever heard. I'd love to know who it is.
Don Hiorth I agree! They sound incredible
At 6:49 they sound phenomenal😭😍
St. Petersburg Phil under Yuri Temirkanov, at the top of their game
Questo è uno dei concerti che amo di più..... musica divina!
i could listen to this all day and not be tired!! So inspiring
My favorite part starts around 8:02 the light and bouncy sound is so calming
My the same, but compare with Julia Fischer in 'Paris has little more magic
I've loved this violin 🎻 concerto for years
i just absolutely love the chemistry between her and the conductor/orchestra. it's not enough to give a technical and emotional performance, so much of it is also about communication and being generous with those emotions. and those little smiles that dance across her face, you can really tell that she honestly enjoys what she's doing--and that's what it's truly about.
