Did we ever get that trumpet performance with Doc and the band?

This is a favorite. Sooo Good😌

Best, simply the best!

Heart on sleeve intense. Intonation has a lot of rough edges and she goes crazy with her tempos too. But the audience enjoyed it, and so did I.

I've been a fan since the late 80s, and it's still hard for me to find words to describe her performances. Thankfully, others have done so here.

She certainly deserves a lick for that performance

I always thought she was italian l o l. I don't think I ever actually heard her speak before. But she sounds like every salerno in new jersey

Nadja or Hillary Hahn who ya got

I remember watching this live when I was in high school. It was a very inspiring performance and a fun interview as well. So cool that you have made it available on TH-cam!

Absolutely possessed. I’ve always adored everything about her. She’s a monumental force and smart like no other. Even her cadence.❤

❤

Genius!

Quite remarkably vacuous.

Really focus on the keyboard arrangement ..wonderfully changed to support the violin solo

underrated musician

The GOAT.

If I were cocaine, I'd I'd snort Nadja to get high.. the natural, physical, energy she exudes in this was... literally superhuman. Every single time I've see her perform, within 5 seconds, I've said to myself " this is the greatest living virtuoso" . Maybe the single greatest player ever of the violin. This level of excellence in any human is an actual miracle to me.. peace.

Violin. The Marvel way.

Nadja rules. Period. Tortured genius, übervirtuoso. Makes Yngwie Malmsteen lose sleep and feel like a fraud.

brilliant

great

What song?

5:25

I have tears in my eyes. So expressive. Tremendous control of bowing and vibrato.

She occupies many places in memories.

superb!!!

Would love to see Nadja perform with Emily Bear accompanying on piano, 2 geniuses together.

She's the greatest!!!!!

wonderful

woah

What a family! Just as well that Dad and Uncle Odair are up to performing what you write!

She and Sarah Chang ruled the violin world in the 80s and 90s.

This is fabulous! We really enjoyed it, thank you.

She is wonderful. Having played the violin with teacher Dorothy Delay, I have a real understanding of just how very, very difficult it is to play as well as Nadja plays. Incredible!!!

Incredidble performance!🥀

Salerno-Sonnenberg has been, from the very beginning, a violinist whose talent and individual voice were so spectacular that she just could not be denied by those at the highest pinnacle of artistry. But, she was also a woman who wasn’t interested in being demure or in making the important males in that world feel “stroked” or admired enough, deferred to enough, to get a free pass which her virtuosity should have assured her. I’ve always admired the hell out of her for this quality as much as I have loved what she has given us. I wish the men who sliced her in reviews-not her playing, which was far too good to criticize-for her facial grimaces which were “ugly” and not ladylike, and for her fashion choices, the sure way to really hurt a woman as sensitive as she was, and is. It’s been a very hard journey for her, and I’m glad she had so many invitations to appear on Johnny Carson’s show bc he knew how to value and promote her to everyday people. I love her!!

Nadja leaves all pretensions behind.

She was a frequent guest violinist in Portland, Oregon for the renowned Oregon Symphony (under the direction of the late great James DePriest, Conductor) in the 1980’s and 90’s! She would twirl her violin during mid performance and the sold out audience would go wild! I am blessed to have seen her perform!

I was at Aspen that year. She was and is amazing.

Nadja is pure passion. She is rare like J Dupre or KD Lange. I fell in love with her. I’m a passionate pianist. Maybe we will meet someday.

A great artist who has touched many hearts through her sensitivity in expressing what the composers intend.

Wow🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

She's a once in a generation type of gift.....

we called her the classical Madonna in the 90s. She is so good.

How fast can she play the bumble bee. She should be on aGT.

She has put in her 10,000 hours.

The most vulgar violin playing ever........
