This is probably one of the best recordings of this piece. Have not heard someone play this piece so cleanly for a while now. This is how Mozart should be played.
I must say this combination of soloist, orchestra and conductor seem to work very well for Mozart. There's such clarity and translucency of the phrasing and orchestration. Certainly on the brisk side, I've heard much more relaxed and dare I say it rather dull performances of these concertos before now.
Grumiaux comes from that no nonsense Belgian school Vieuxtemps, Isaye etc. I love his approach of Bach and Mozart. CP Bach wrote that his father played with a firm and decisive, brisk stroke. I imagine that also with Mozart because when you read Mozart's letters you know that he was not a sentimental type of guy, on the contrary. Grumiaux seems to fully grasp that concept of a strong Mozart, not a fluffy, boring overly sentimental rococo drawing room full with knick knacks Mozart. Mozart type cast as an infantile prodigy who never matured. Mozart was exactly the opposite but was very careful to not share it in public, but then again, you can hear it in his music to the fullest. I always wonder who he makes fun of in the fast movements or what he was thinking when composing those intensely sad slow movements, like 23rd piano concerto, Sinfonia Concertante, Kyrie Grand Mass etc. etc. etc....
@@bartjebartmans I know right? They portray Mozart as a childish, vulgar man whereas , in reality, his music is one speaks for him. It depicts the maturity of that 17 year old who wrote such inexpressibly beautiful music. Not just anyone can do this. If possible, I'd like to read read his autobiography (which doesn't exists or hasn't been discovered as of now atleast). Although, Mozart would not have much to say about the Nature and other touching subjects, he would most definitely be willing to talk about his music. Even he himself knew the value of his music.
Mozart hated writing 2nd/slow movements. He, however wrote some of the most beautiful of these movements in music. This one, I think is an example of these!
@@kofiLjunggren That's what can be inferred from his correspondence and conversations he was quoted in saying. That's a fact though. He was not fond of writing slow movements. However he produced some of the magical ones in Classical music: Clarinet Converto, Piano 23rd Piano Concerto, 18th Piano Concerto, Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra and many many others.
@@minh-khanguyen7209 Yep. Horns in D are used like only in authentic ensembles. Edit: It's been two years and only now have I realized what your joke was
This was actually the first recording of Mozart's fourth violin concerto, and Grumiaux also made the first complete cycle of them (of which this is a part of).
I know the other violin concerti very well but this is my first time hearing number 4. Perhaps the first movement is a little less impressive - is it only me who gets irritated by how often Mozart does the "don´t you know" final phrase? But the slow movement is lovely and the finale wonderfully witty with some especially beautifully orchestration. The cadenzas here are beautifully played.
I don't really listen to classical music unless it's in something I'm watching, asked some people for pieces I should listen to and one guy mentioned this. Fuck this is good.
@@letsschubertiad1966 Of course, by concerto, I am talking about the solo concerto established in the second half of the 18th century. I don't count Vivaldi's enormous violin concerto oeuvre in the same category as Mozart or Haydn.

This was recorded in 1962 I believe, so that fact makes the clarity in this interpretation even more beautiful!
Nothing "should" be played in any way
I loved to listen all the Mozart concertos played by Griumaux when I was a kid.
I’m playing this one now
Not "probably ", "definitely"!
1:24 i'd marry that intonation
1. Allegro 0:00
2. Andante cantabile 9:05
3. Rondeau: Andante grazioso 16:00
Obrigado Proclus.
I'm from Brasil.
The last movement is the best one.
@@FriendlyCroock In most of Mozart's concerts the last movement is the best imo.
Thank you Mozart for giving us this masterful work.

19:35 is so beautiful and nostalgic. Like a simple sunny memory
The most beautiful and majestic Mozart concerto for violin and orchestra, I love this concerto, it is my favorite of Mozart's.
Absolute beauty, that only Mozart knows how to deliver. Grecata interpretation...great artists.
Bellissimo concerto. Molte grazie per questo dono.Saluti garbati a tutti, evviva la Musica!
Thankyou for Mozart's violinconcertos with the great Arthur Grumiaux !
1:23 Beginning of Solo
Thanks
AG is a human treasure! Coupled with Mozart’s genius, I’m in heaven listening and reading the score. Thanks for your wonderful work! ❤️🎼🎵👏🇮🇪☘️
Damn that first movement at the 8:45 mark when the concerto suddenly explodes joining the solo.

The score specifies horns in D. Nowadays everyone uses horns in F. Press F to pay respects.
Not D?

You can find that cycle on my channel.
Just started working on this last night with my orchestra. I love it!
Simple but complex
The deeper you recognize the simple structure, the complexity of the piece gets
So, this is the final boss... I'm currently on the 4th book from suzuki, getting ready to tackle Bach's concerto for two violins

Beautiful... Bravo maestro!!! Bravo Orchestra!!!
TY
Best recording of this piece I know. Just superb.
Two set violin intensifies

Fuck this is good.
Listen to Violin Concerto No. 3 and No. 5.
Absolutely beautiful!!!
je suis toujours impressionné par la gamme de la majeur à la fin du 2 ème mouvement !
His playing is heavenly.
For a moment, there, I thought you meant Mozart's playing.
Record Philips classic....bravo!!!
어쩜 이렇게 소리가 깔끔하고 이쁠까요?😂

Does anyone know what the version of the cadenza in movement one is used? What is it called?
David’s Cadenza (Oistrakh plays it too. Ferdinand David (see above)
@@katherinewilson1853 Thank you so much!
probably my favorite piece by mozart tbh
also whose cadenza is that in the 1st mvt?
it might be Grumiaux own's cadenza
It’s David’s Cadenza (Oistrakh plays it too)
@@KaterinaSvecovaViolin Grumiaux version of Davids cadenza
The Cadenza is by Ferdinand David. It's the same one I play, that's how I know.

Hello, do you happen to know who wrote the cadenzas?
The CD liner notes had cadences listed for all concertos except No. 4, it is my guess it is by Grumiaux
@@bartjebartmans Thank you very much. Have a great evening.
@@HDTurnerJr Ferdinand David (see above)

Is this Grumiaux's own cadenza?
1:23 solo
Why did he write so few of them ?
5 is not 'few'.
@@Zimzamzoom95 so what would you consider few?, I would like it if there where more of them.
@@letsschubertiad1966 Few is 0 or 1.
