- In 1972, Stokowski celebrated his 90th birthday and also the 60th Anniversary of his debut with the London Symphony Orchestra. To mark these two events, he conducted the LSO at the Royal Festival Hall in the same programme that they'd played in 1912. It included the Glazunov Violin Concerto which in 1912 had been played by Efrem Zimbalist. For the 1972 anniversary repeat it was performed by Silvia Marcovici. This is the only extant film of Leopold Stokowski conducting a violin concerto.
Ah, bring back those days when we had decent proms with good presenters and no diverse nonsense.
To hear Ms Marcovici live involves not only appreciating the sound she makes, pure intonation and singing tone, but her amazing beauty. A video for the ages.
I was lucky enough to be present on that wonderful ocassion. There was a gala dinner afterwards -which I did not attend- when Stokowski, seated across the table to Marcovici, pass to her a paper napkin where he had written: ?; to which she wrote back: !
Mi-a facut o deosebita placere sa o reascult pe Silvia Marcovici. Felicitari! Multumim pentru postare.
After a few tots of Scotland's finest, dozed off, woke up to Bach's finest, then young Marcovici showed up and realised I was in Heaven ! RUclips certainly produces some Punch.
A beautiful concerto, very remarkable performed by a gorgeouse Slivia Marcovici.....yes, truly Absoutely magical!
A few years later I saw her in this concerto with Inbal, in Frankfurt. This is as sweet and marvelous. And she is so beautiful.
Wonderful playing from Ms Marcovici. Flawless, brilliant technique and expressive interpretation. The only thing I would say is that she seems to be using all metal strings, which really aren´t as good as aluminum/silver covered gut or perlon strings. Certainly one of the finest violinists of the 20th/21st Centuries.
Fascinantă violonistă !
Wonderful playing, she's certainly as good as anyone around today, and this is 50 years ago. I'm saying this because you hear so much about the fantastic standards of today, it just shows you. I was surprised that she had metal strings with 4 adjusters.
Stokovski, para mí, el más grande director de orquesta de todos los tiempos. Ahora veo que escribí hace 13 días. Perdón, Quería contar una anécdota personal al respecto, pero no quiero abusar. Adiós y gracias.
Thank you for posting this. I have been wanting to see it ever since I purchased the set of LPs containing the recording, back in 1974. In the same year, I was fortunate enough to be at the Albert Hall to see Stokowski's last public performance in the UK where, aged 92, he gave a glowing performance of Brahms's 4th symphony with the New Philharmonia Orchestra. Sadly, no video or film recording was made of that concert, but it is available on a BBC Legends audio CD.
That's awesome to hear
she has that wonderful old world sound.
Thank you for this memorable video of Sylvia Marcovici and her Violin.
talent calls for universal admiration and inspiration, especially for all the young women... so incredible!!! my respect and admiration, and yes not too say she is one kind of a unique rare beauty...love and peace
Sivila was so atractive,I like her performance of Saint Sean violin concerto No.3 too.
formidable, la entonces joven Marcovici como el siempre joven y formidablemente único Stokovski.
Google translate: "Formidable, the then young Marcovici and the ever young and formidably unique Stokowski."
People marvel, quite rightly at the precision and technical brilliance of the likes of Hahn etc but their performances leave me unmoved. Not this however.
My favorite recording of The concerto !!!!!
fantastic !!!
Que cette musique est belle !! 24mn de charme et de talent avec la jolie violoniste : une pure merveille pour mon oreille; ensemble musical de qualité, excellent !!!
Je transfère pour moi.
A Fine Performance, oft reselected
Ah! Que voilà de la belle ouvrage. Cette Silvia Marcovici que je ne connaissais pas m'a réellement séduit Pourtant je suis difficile. Merci Madame.
Oo very interesting, the sound and varnish are truly astonishing....also Marcovici do a great great job on it.
Thank you !!
I was fortunate enough to attend this concert all those years ago aged 20. I can actually see myself on the front row. Was it really fortytwo years ago? ( gives out long sigh)
An extraordinary performance from an 18year old violinist before a London audience,wish I'd been there.
Really sorry Silvia Marcovici's London performance of Glazanov's violin concerto, in her youth, is no longer available. Please make an exception in my case ?
QPlease discard all my photographs and musical recordings
I agree with you Guinter, Absolutely magical !
Absolutely fantastic !
Beauty of Gesture and a Poise of Power . As your hair turns grey then white I will adore you even yet .
how wonderful singing violin, just beautiful video****************
Thank for this ,,Regal " Magical performed !
As Alf Charlton says Brahms 1st symphony was played in the second half, followed by Tchaikovsky's Marche Slave as an encore. The demand for tickets for this concert was so great it was repeated at the Albert Hall a few Days later when I understand many more encores were given. Unfortunately I missed this occasion. I'm pleased I at least saw Stokowski once, probably one of the twentieth centuries most controversial conductors next to Von Karajan.
Great to have this historical video!
WOWWWW!!!!! Thanks a lot!
The story is after the concert at dinner Stokie passed a place card to Ms Markovice with a ? Written on it. She replied with a place card with an exclamation point on it
Oh thank Gracias Love it! Great!!!!
Thank you, beautiful, thank you very much :)
Great! Thank you!
Wonderful!
@THEMUSICALDREAMER100 Thank you for your wonderful and detailed information! Here is an appendix, the times :)
1. Moderato, attaca - 1:10
2. Andante sostenuto, - 5:26 (cadenza - 13:05) attaca
3. Allegro - 16:03 (This movement is soooooo darn hard to play)
Bravo Silvia.Hard concerto.
... recuerdo imperecedero, Stokowski, magnífica plenitud ...
adam28xx, i know it's been a long time since you posted this video, but I've just caught up with it. by happenstance i was at that concert in 1972. the highlight was stokowski's rendition of brahms' 1st symphony. this is still my favourite interpretation of one of my absolutely favourite pieces. don't know where you got this video, but wondered if the brahms was at all available. thanks so much for opportunity to relive a truly memorable concert.
Happy New Year
This year I had returned to college. An agriculture School in the Los Angeles area
San Fernando Valley . I was in Love with Olga Korbut, and being Detente all things Russian.
Miss Marcovici's repertoire has not yet extended, on Googles' UTube, to Tchaikovsky's violin concerto, to my knowledge, which I should dearly love to hear, if at all possible. Greetings to lovers of the sound of all stringed instruments.
Brian Seals see what I posted on my channel about Prof. Marcovici! Enjoy!!!
La mejor, presentación!
Aunque no se le conocen otros compositores. Una lastima
I wonder what is meant by this comment?
silvia marcovici
Как красиво!
Oo such a lot of information, and as you say it seems that she used the same violin for a long time. And I totally agree that she could use any Strad or Guarneri o Guadagnini, but I think tha when you find a good instrument htat fits as you like It become part of yourself.
Thank You so much
As a matter of interest Efrem Zimbalists son Efrem Jr became a well known Hollywood tv star ⭐️ 77 Sunset Strip was the vehicle for that. He Efrem srn also put together a concert fantasia on Rimsky- Korsakov’s Golden Cockerel opera .
Originally performed by Kookie's dad?
...or was he the OTHER one..?
@@bingola45 he played stuart bailey private eye.
OK while you're at it... Stephanie Zimbalist, actress, is the granddaughter of the violinist. She was popular on TV
during the 1980s.
Funny, the grandson of Stokowski
is german actor Oliver Stokowski .
🎭
L-L-L-L-Leopold!!
Qué morocha guapa por Dió !!
Guapisima. Pero no tienes algo que decir de su arte?
@@leslieackerman4189 claro, que su arte es tan bello como ella. Saludos desde Argentina
She is from Romania :)
Silvia was soooo HOT!
22:00 loud raining sound ✨
It's 1972 Live TV!!
It's called "applause"!
she is even better than anne sophie mutter . GRANDIOS! ***************
Who is the Viola Player behind Miss Marcovici? It appears to be Andrsej Konstanty.
Does anyone know what violin is Ms. Marcovici playing? ...a Guarneri?
I did not see anyone singing there ... Did you ?
brilliant performance , from Silvia Marcovici! dont know her...where is she from ??
only the conductor ...hmmm , ,im not happy with him :P
DAS SAGE ICH AUCH KRISTIN ! dachte dass die sophie vll die beste performance geliefert hat , , aber diese Silvia DIE ICH NICHT KENNE , , hat sie um meilen gschlagen ehrlich ! ;-), , woher ist sie den ??
5:26
anyone knows in which instrument's luthier is performed?
I understand (thanks to another RUclips post from someone else) that she has always played on an Albani from around 1800
Thanks. It seems to be the only one instrument she played during his career
Looks like a metal tailpiece with fine tuners! I have accompanied her in the Tchaikovsky concerto and remember that the violin sounded great.
Egh the ensemble..
she has got to be the sexist and hottest professional violinist I have ever seen
joe blow Check out 22:02...yeah.
In
+joe blow Drop dead gorgeous. So young and talented and so beautiful. Wow.
Shawn Wooster She's 64 years old now.
+Masht Ali and still beautiful!
hahahaaa, , thnx, ,i know it now :P ,, , , and the CONDUCTOR ..still alive :P
Cx
Jigsaw the conductor...
Isn't it out of tune?
Yes, here and there it goes out.....
@@violinhunter2 irrelevant when it is a live performance. Listen and WATCH
@@leslieackerman4189 Hello Leslie - you say to me "WATCH" - I say to you: LISTEN. In ancient times, people (some people, to be fair) used to go to concerts by Heifetz and judged him by watching and not by listening. Marcovici has been an artist (not just a fiddle player) since she was a kid and I have always admired her playing (and her looks, really) but,...facts are facts. (We do not expect perfection in live performances, of course, but an observation is just that,...an observation. Marcovici is not a machine, thank God.)
I believe it's good, but just can not enjoy and appreciate such modrn music, it seems to me no good melody at all. Don't know why?
Don't like her vibrato in lower register
I am afraid to say that this is unfortunately your problem.
Some of it is not her playing but a recording defect called flutter…
