- Igor Sravinsky (1882-1971): Violin concerto in D major (1931)
Concerto en Ré pour violon
I Toccata; II Aria I; III Aria II; IV Capriccio
Itzhak Perlman; Seiji Ozawa: Boston Symphony Orchestra
When Bernstein was asked which of Stravinsky's compositions was his favorite, he replied "whichever one I happen to be listening to at the moment."
Don't know about 'favorite' but he did say that 'Symphony of Psalms' is Stravinsky's greatest work.
Truly amazing! What a performance!!!
Me, a violinist entering an undergrad performance degree: Just discovered Stravinsky wrote a violin concerto and is mind-blown
I told my professor who is coming up on 70 about it and he hadn't a clue. GREAT piece.
I was feeling reallyyyyy depressed and overwhelmed by schoolwork, piano, violin, everything, and then I clicked on this. This is so amazing; why is this not up there with Tchaikovsky and Bruch etc.?? THIS IS SO AMAZING. Why is this not as famous as Petrushka or Firebird or Oedipus Rex or L'histoire du soldat or even his etudes??? I feel so inspired and happy now. Stravinsky is definitely one of my favorite composers.
It IS famous with good musicians. Been listening to this since I was 16.
@mark patterson Les Noces is da bomb. I like the Eotvos version. And Agon. His earlier stuff Naomi mentioned is for the laypeople.
It is famous. Many violinists play it with world class orchestras.

Perlman has the perfect musical personality for this work: way above any technical issues, and sassy as hell.
Christopher Brooks Agree, his Shostakovich violin concerto recording with Zubin Mehta (particularly the second movement) is also sassy as hell! 💕💕
That's not sass that impassioned guilelessness. Sassy is a pose, a taunt... not raw and honest like this playing.
Some composers make me feel weak (such as Scriabin). Stravinsky always makes me feel strong, and in love with life!
Spot on!
+Ian Elliott I sort of understand, now the best example of "weak" and "strong" uniquely tied together I can think of must be none else than Beethoven, maybe Shostakovich even
Stravinsky makes me feel anxious...
Ian Elliott q
That's pretty much my feeling too. His music is so alive, so full of vibrancy.
A perfect mixture of exuberance and melancholy as only Stravinsky could achieve. Fantastic!
The finale of this is probably one of my favorite 5 minutes of music ever. So powerful and interesting. The complexity always overwhelms me.
Overwhelming complexity. I am listening to the First Movement right now, so I am looking forward to the end to consider your comment.
Mine as well. It has an intense forward propulsion to it.
@@robinmendoza-robinson8160 Well... dissonance 'wants' to resolve. The beginning of Les Noces is a similarly dissonant grand gesture. I wonder if Stravinsky gave himself a laugh if he thought of this unforgettable sound as an immediate and unforgiving test of how cool the audience was. Whosoever got up and left right then and there... well now you know who's cool and who's not.
Stravinsky wrote for musicians too, and hoped and wanted his musician friends and the larger world to see what he did when they study and deconstruct and analyze his work. Robt Craft for example.
Stravinsky, you never age!
Only Stravinsky would start a piece on that note
thanks for sharing, i find this piece difficult. but the more i listen the more i enjoy. it's like that with music sometimes...
This is SUPERB and soooooo joyous! Such a fun Concerto!
Honestly, the last movement (“Capriccio”), to me, sounds like if Ravel and Copeland combined their music (“Rodeo: Hoedown” and the last minute or so of “Tzigane” come to mind), and it’s AMAZING! 😍
Hailey Paige Have you seen the ballet Stravinsky- Violin Concerto by George Balanchine? He did it for the Stravinsky Festival at Lincoln Center in 1972. You might enjoy it since you like this piece of music, I believe the ballet is on youtube.
It IS popular, and considered, along with the Beethoven, Berg, as one of THE violin concerti..... it is horrendously difficult for the soloist, which may account for why it is not as frequently performed. Yes, I agree, charming and great at the same time. The external movements more than ebullient, buoyant music of spirited good humor, the two arias, 'Haydn / Handel-esque' poignant and moving.
Mi concierto favorito de violín ♡♡♡♡ simplemente fantástico.
A mi también,junto con los dos de Shostakovich y el de Prokofiev
This performance of a highly original work is utterly affecting, ecstatic, warm and communicative. It has the immediacy of jazz, as if the performers are reaching out to you spontaneously from their heart of hearts. I'm not a big Perlman fan as I find his Bach way too flashy and flamboyant. But in this modern repertoire he is simply magical. A total delight! *****
Total agreement but he and Ozawa did their research from notes and Dushin's recording of the premiere. After all these years this is still the very best rendition.
Many important composers, like Schoemberg, think this is the BEST Violin Concert created ever, until now.
I agree in full, having listened almost all.
I dont think is the BEST concert (for me is Bartok's 2nd), but the first time i listened to it, it CHANGED my mind. I was in my adolescence and was the first example of neoclassic, up today the very best example. And specially the first and last movements touched me very deep. Later when i finished my upper degree in violin tried to play it but, man, it is fuxxxxg difficult! much more that it seems when you listen at it! En cualquier caso Jorge, muy respetable que sea tu concierto preferido. Te recomiendo, si no los has escuchado ya, Bartok 2, y Carl Nielsen (entre muchos otros por supuesto :D)
Best, huh? Listen to Beethoven's. WORLDS ahead of this crap.
If you dislike 20th and 21st century music what are you doing HERE? Why don't you go back inside your hovel and only listen to music of the past and let the rest of us enjoy this music. You obviously do not fit in with listening to ANY Stravinsky so I highly recommend you never again visit this site nor any other of 20th Century music. As the saying goes: If you can't say anything nice, keep your mouth shut and your fingers off the keyboard.
Stupid comment. People are entitled to their opinion, just because you don't like it there is no need for this ridiculous outburst.
I wouldn't say it's crap. If Beethoven had lived in the 20th Century he would probably have written something similar. Making comparisons between the two pieces is a musical folly.
Reminds me of L'Histoire Du Soldat, which I just love to pieces. I never knew of this piece. But today, as I was surveying violin concertos, from Bach to the present, I found this. And now I have another beauty to put alongside L'Histoire Du Soldat.
Learning is eternal, until you drop dead. And then, you can't reboot or back up. It's gone. So enjoy learning while it lasts.
That goes for you J.McCarthy, too, Mr. Crabby.
Overwhelmingly good.
Perlman number one!
najon najon my concert fpr ever since sixtiest bella version don PERLMAN exelentia
The very best version on RUclips :)
Beautiful
A couple of years ago the SF symphony played this in June and again with a different soloist that fall. It was the first and second time I heard it live. For a real treat log on the the NY Philharmonic's archives and follow (or try!) along with the full score. What incredible musicianship it takes to play this.
I was happily surprised by this violin concerto. This had to been extremely hard to balance and to preform those chords so effectively. Yet another masterful performance by Perlman. I think Vengerov would have a very interesting take on this piece.
Vengerov has performed this concerto :-)
Yes, this is a fine performance. But I still treasure my old recording of David Oistrach and am crazy about Patricia Kopanchinskaja's more recent version on RUclips which has the additional advantage of enabling you to watch her unbelievable body language conveying her own utter delight over both this music and her mastery of it.This Violin Concerto is truly neoclassicism at its best, wittiest and most muscular. What began as a self-imposed stylistic diversion here is elevated into a natural and spontaneous expression.
BRAVO!!! X IGOR
This is brilliance.
Vanessa Murray i wonder if people remember there 5 year old comments, reply if you remember this
Sin comentarios Stravinski, Lo has hecho para ser ejecutado y ahí están los grandes. ¡Que gozada!
This is highly emotive
that is so amazing
Listening to this while crunching on a deadline for school. Somehow, I was in a mood for violin concertos...I wonder if it's related
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air S01E02 brought me here... apparently they try to mock this piece as concerto in D minor, but i think i got their points... this is extraordinary and yet, way above average's taste
Wonderful !
Bardzo bardzo dobry!
POZDR
VERY charming piece!! I wonder why the Strav. VC isn't more popular.
I hafta say, 1:50 sounds a lot like Yes' 'Don't Kill the Whale' from the album Tomato...both are the VOICE OF GOD
I must admit that I am a bit relucant when it comes to the neoclassical period of Stravinsky. I enjoy much more his beginning up io Noces and his last serial period. But there is some kind of perfection in the architecture and the writing of this concerto thay I love it especially. Do you know that anecdote: Srtravinsky was not sure that the fisrt chord was playable and while dining with the violonist that was to premiere it he wrote that chord on the napkind of the restaurant?
Gérard Begni
Yeah, apparently the chord is called a passport chord. That’s really cool!
@@Hailey_Paige_1937 It was actually Stravinsky who, upon finding from Samuel Dushkin that the chord was actually playable, said that it was his passport to (finish) the composition. Early in the process of writing, Stravinsky devised a chord stretching from D4 to E5 to A6. He and Dushkin were having lunch in a Paris restaurant and he sketched the chord on a napkin. Dushkin thought the chord unplayable; Stravinsky was disappointed. But later that day, Dushkin tried it out on his violin and was delighted: it was actually easy to play. He phoned Stravinsky to say that it could be played after all. Stravinsky thus referred to this chord as his "passport to the Concerto."
For my own taste, Stravinsky wrote some wonderful, amazing music in all three of his periods. After becoming extremely familiar (as an listener) with his entire lifetime work, I find the quite obvious stylistic differences nevertheless somehow to be merely superficial, while the "musical personality of the composer" seems to be the same. Hard to explain ... but maybe that's just because it's very subjective.
I will say that, when I first started to really listen to the neoclassical pieces, I had to make myself listen "outside history" -- that is, not worry about what year it was written versus what year "it sounded [sort of] like" and just listen to the great things it was doing musically.
divinely good.
gah fucking fantastic
Excelente !!!!!
Fantástico!
Exquisito!!!!!
Maestria🙏💕
Что бы Стравинский ни сочинял -- получается балет.Его музыка не может не танцевать.
What a fascinating work - performed superbly by both soloist and orchestra. It sounds like Stravinsky was listening to Shostakovich at the time. ?¿?
+Edward Cox It was honestly probably the other way around...
+Ben Webster Probably was. I first heard those types of lines in Shostakovich's music - especially his string quartets, hence my slightly flippant comment.
Honestly, the last movement (“Capriccio”), to me, sounds like if Ravel and Copeland combined their music (“Rodeo: Hoedown” and the last minute or so of “Tzigane”), and it’s AMAZING! 😍
Wow!
la dialettica di thomas wisenground adorno nasce dalla rottura che c'è stata nel secolo scorso attraverso lo scontro o ossimoro musicale tra la musica classica(igor stravinski )e la musica da prodotto commerciale.(beatles love me do).
Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno :-)
Quoting himself!
Wow this is amazing! But I dun think I would be permitted to play this at home XD
II 5:45
III 10:00
IV 15:42
At the beginning of aria, during the short but violent violin entry, we hear an echo of the beginning of the 4th mov. (again an aria) of the Holberg Suite by Grieg, or am I mistaken?
cagin
The 2nd and third movements use relatively the same intro because they’re labeled as “Aria I” and “Aria II”. The fourth movement is a Capriccio, with a slightly different intro. ☺️
Pourquoi Nietzsche sur cette page musique ?
8:31-9:00
This piece is lit
at 10:05 btw...
plz come to denver!!
misteriose concert
19:58
Jesus Christ said that "My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me" - JESUS CHRIST IS MY GOD, MY LORD, MY SAVIOR
20:30 Shit gets real.
INCA ROADS!!!
From 0:00 - 21:48 this "effin rocks" X0)
at 15:45 this effin rocks,,,
Cause it's neoclassical
Because it's devilishly hard for both orchestra and soloist and also does not showcase the violin very well. Lovely piece though, just not performed because, in short, it's a pain in the ass.
igor stravinskjmesso a confronto con i beatles vince sicuramente la musica v vera cioè la musica classica e non i beatles
