Romance Op. 23 by Amy Beach Noah Bendix-Balgley, Violin Ohad Ben-Ari, Piano Recorded April 2020 in the Berlin Philharmonie Video courtesy of the Digital Concert Hall
I keep coming back to this. Not only is it just an outstanding work in the genre as a Romance, but also such great idiomatic writing for the violin. And from a pianist--ita not always easy to do that at such a high level. The more I learn about Mrs. Beach's life and work the more intrigued and impressed I am.
Ironically, I find the violin writing quite mediocre (e.g. 1:50) compensated for somewhat by amazing playing. Generally, I find Beach tragic. She's clearly one of the greatest musical geniuses that ever lived (she was self-taught!), but most of her music is at best only satisfying sometimes, this one included. If you compare her with any of her contemporaries in Boston, I think she was just so much better than any of them already that she never got the stimulus that European contemporaries got. If she had sought out training for how to develop her music, I can only imagine what she would have produced. The violin sonata and piano trio are quite good and the quartet is interesting. I think her most popular works like the Gaelic and Mass are unfortunately more historical curiosities than her best pieces, which prevents a real revival.
Noah, just watching you and hearing you play teaches me a lot. What a wonderful heartfelt performance and what an excellent bowhand you have! Everything was just like I would have played it, if I only could! And the pianist! Wonderful togetherness and beautiful tone and touch. Kudos to you both!
A masterpiece, I am so happy to discover the work of an incredibly talented female composer. Magnificent. Makes me feel so much emotions. Amazing amazing, and bravo to the musicians !
Noah, ești un violonist care îmi placi foarte! Mulțumesc pentru frumusețea muzicii sufletului pe care o împărtășești cu noi. Suntem cu tine. Salut din Moldova. Beniamin
This is so phenomenal....I myself have studied this piece but your bowing and phrasing is simply astounding and the emotion is really there . BRAVO!!! 👏
This is lovely! Thank you for recording and putting this musical, heartfelt performance out to us during a time when we are all missing live concerts. Wonderful female composer!
I am in love.
This interpretation is stunning, and my absolute favourite!
For every piece there is this one performance, that, once experienced, cannot be ‘unheard’. This is the one for Amy Beach’s Romance.

@@gentlemon2252just bc ur dont like it doesnt mean u should be a weirdo incel mad at the world for liking it😭😭
According ro Syrrius..Satellite radio channel. Amy taught to read music at 3 years of age and her first composition at 4 years old. A genius.
The most beautiful piece of piano and violin 🎻 🎹

I am your biggest fan 👍😊😏😉🙏👋
シビれちゃうほど、素晴らしい。
硬質で繊細な音質。長身の姿。オーギュスタン・デュメイを彷彿させるほどの容姿ではあるが、しかし、演奏はより微細で内的で、求心的な、突き詰める切なさすらも感じ入る。丁寧な演奏で忠実である。
