Few pieces of music can touch the human soul like fratres can.
such a perfect statement coming from the monikered handle "spraycheese743" - kind of epic really (thank you for that).
epic masterpiece is the only term that describes it.
I`ll never forget the moment when I heart this master piece for the first time.
It was in the film "There Will Be Blood" for me. It made the scene so powerful. I also urge anyone to look up the soundtrack for the film. It's pure string genius..
@@janezpungartnik3149 that moment u find genius?
'
I'm a metalhead and this is way beyond anything I heard at the time!
For me it was falling asleep lying in the sun on the floor boards of my friends flat in Berlin after a 18h bus trip from Paris in 1995 or 1996. Thanks to this music, the magic is still with me now
Indeed it was a most arresting moment. Profound.
What a performance. She gave it every bit of heart it deserves.
Yep!
I think this is the best live rendition of "Fratres" that I ever heard. I absolutely loved it!
Might well be! It's pretty perfect and, unlike some I've heard, it has guts!
I think it's just that she's not afraid to attack the instrument. There's vehemence to it, and that's so often missing when people get too reverential about the score. There's also an ECM recording of this where Keith Jarrett attacks the piano in the same way. This is a wonderful performance.
This is a wonderful performance, right down to those last two touches on the violin. You're also dead right about that Keith Jarrett recording, which was the first bit of Pärt I'd ever heard. After that I was totally hooked. 'Guts' and 'Attack' are absolutely the correct words here!
Fab, I just realised that I have just replied to a comment that I actually made two years ago!! No wonder I agreed with it!! Check the name next time idiot!!
Mother of god! she's pouring her actual life force into the violin to project this beautiful melancholic sound.
5:42
Fratres (meaning "Brothers" in latin) is a musical work by the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt exemplifying his tintinnabuli style of composition.[1] It is three-part music, written in 1977, without fixed instrumentation and has been described as a “mesmerising set of variations on a six-bar theme combining frantic activity and sublime stillness that encapsulates Pärt’s observation that ‘the instant and eternity are struggling within us’.” Beautifully captured by Anne.
Although admirable, I find Anne's violin sometimes sort of tough. I've heard some other executions that seem to me more contained .
Love how at 3:55 she's shredding so hard a hair from the bow breaks
First time I heard this piece was RIGHT AFTER I put down a pet of mine. (I had a music class right after it, and I logged into Zoom and just left the camera off.) The Music Theory professor showed this piece to the class and then called it a day. It gave me a sense of reflection and peace. This is such a beautiful piece, I'm glad I was introduced to it.
Best performance of this composition I've ever heard
Interesting, i personally much prefer Gidon Kremer's performance on the record. More subtle and it feels more natural.
(nevertheless, absolutely awesome performance)
@Silvacanes MC I like that you enjoy the subtlety of the other performance, but I absolutely love the intensity of this one. Brings tears to my eyes
I am absolutely grateful for you sharing this. It was time already for such an astonishing (i.e. worthy) rendition and recording of this masterpiece. Arvo Pärt's Fratres for violin and piano is one of my favorite pieces of music. Demands a flawless violinist to perform it. I am speechless... Thank you.
agreed

Beautiful performance. I love how when the bow frayed you were just "Nah, screw you, man. I'm getting this done."
Classical musicians are especifically taught to keep playing in tempo no matter what happens, a mistake, one musician's instrument breaks, whatever.
In an ensemble, the roof would have to collapse over one of the musicians for the others to stop, and even then I'm not sure they would stop at all.
If all the hairs on the bow snapped, she would probably first try to grab another bow from wherever while the pianist was still playing.
This is child's play. A single hair in her bow snapped? Whatever. I'm sure she's had worse.
Agreed! That is just embedded grace within her soul.
Killed it, life changing piece, played with the appropriate balance of zest and humility. So moved!
I have listened to this piece of music so many times over the years, in its many forms and arrangements. Never have I been so captured as by this rendition, with all its feeling.
Utterly sublime.
I've looked for decades for this song! It was on my mom's cassette and I recorded on top by accident. She hated it but I loved it. This is beautiful.
I can't put to words how intense, beautiful and powerful the piece is. This is one of the best music videos I've seen in my life. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Sublime, Powerful, Cathartic....I find myself watching and listening to it over and over again. Wish I could have been there.
Thanks for sharing!
Yup, that was a chill I felt up my backside.
Really?!
Words alone cannot adequately describe the haunting beauty of this performance. It has long been my favorite piece of music, and this stunning performance was captured exquisitely. THANK YOU to everyone involved!
Perhaps one of the most beautiful, sublime moments of music this 60 year old man has ever heard. And to think my brother in law is Estonian, and we’ve never discussed Arvo Part.
ecstatic, riveting: outstanding
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever conceived.
Love this version and to see the commitment of the wonderful violinist to the music.
Deeply moving.
im so happy that i can play this !!!!!! Im working on this masterpiece
I Would LOVE to hear it from you

Mesmerizing. A superlative performance.
Awesome recording of absolutely beautiful music, this video is great!

That was absolutely exquisite. That piece is amazing and you both did it every bit of justice it deserves.
stunning.
love the high harmonics near the end. great bow technique and when the hairs fray you know things are cooking.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful performance
brilliant. arvo is one of my favorite composers and you are on my favorite violinist!
Gotta say I like the fireplace crackling in the background - quite an atmosphere for an intimate and fiery composition!
Fantastic!
what a masterful interpretation, thank you!
Marvelous opening...
She is one of the best.
Superb rendition. Very moving.
This is pure art, pure form, pure humanity, pure everything. This is like the soundtrack of everything as a single form.
Oh my-- 😶
Beautiful. Powerful. 💛🎶
Oh wow. What a rendition ❤
One if the best classical performances of all time! thank you for sharing.
Strikingly beautiful. Astounding artistry.
Thank you so much. OMG!!! Nothing more needs to be said.
She is flawless. 👏👏👏💐
Anne really nailed this song! She made that violin emote!!! So remarkable! Thank you for the journey.
This composer is one of my greatest sources of inspiration, along with the Portuguese composers Fernando Lopes-Graça and Eurico Carrapatoso, regarding my own composition. Arvo Pärt has done with consonance what many others wouldn't have dared in the 20th century, which he has kept on doing. Thanks for the help on the development of modern tonality, Arvo Pärt.
What I like the most is the simplicity of his music, that along with refreshing harmony transforms music into pure gold. Almost a year ago I performed Brahms requiem in the choir and for me it was a very dificult task. I was bored during most of rehearsals because I was simply tired of hearing the same type of harmony over and over again. No wonder Part is the most performed composer while the composer himself is still alive. His music is majestic.
@@toposterity listen to prokofiev. That man is just pure genius in form of harmonies. th-cam.com/video/coRKXvclsQs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MarcoVeranda This is his third piano concerto, a well known masterpiece and perhaps the greatest piano concerto of all time.
Incredible! Masterful! Precise! I'm overwhelmed with awe and humility.
MARVELOUS!!
God gawd that was beautiful.
ngl i'd probably cry at some point if i ever witnessed this kind of performance in person because this is such a great and very beautiful live rendition of fratres
I watched a performance earlier this year in a beautiful church in Wensleydale. I had goosebumps everywhere humanly possible.
An absolute masterpiece
Bravo- such control!
so impressive, had goosebumps.
I just ordered Anne Akiko new cd mirrors of mirrors At Barnes and Noble I can’t wait to listen to it
Absolutely stunning...
Excellent playing and nice cinemetography. Id give this a solid 2 thumbs up!
Also amazing composition.
absolutely devastated. beautiful
Was in Estonia recently. Heard this piece in Arvo parts museum. In his chapel. I felt god. I’m not a religious man. But I felt divinity.
Profoundly talented.
I haven't really payed much attention to Arvo's music up until now, i definitely need to listen to more of his music.
every time again, the intro feels like a massive ice cream brain freeze and I LOVE it.
Pärt's music is so pure yet energetic. Like a great idea can be.
excellente intepretation de Anne Akiko Meyers et de Akira Eguchi .tres habitée et très narrative.
One of the most intense and powerful pieces of music I’ve ever heard and sometimes listening to a rendition feels like the first time hearing it over again.
BRAVO!
words can't describe how beautiful it is
To truly feel the anger and tranquility and sadness in this piece is peace.
I can't thank you enough for sharing this performance. I feel a million emotions
Beautiful piece
Words fail me to express the beauty of this beautiful,piece as rendered by Ms Meyer; hence we need music,and more.
AAAAAAGreat!!!
I cannot believe how good this is
Talk about "shredding"... Anne does it for real!
Real fine modern music ! Thanks for this source of Art ! Elevate humans!
Virtuosíssima! Bravo!
Madame Ce que vous jouez est un chef d'oeuvre au même titre que bach .Votre interprétation me fait pleurer et de plus vous le jouez à la perfection.Vous avez un très grand talent.Je ne vous connaissais pas mais maintenant c'est fait
This... this was outstanding. Shivers all over the body. Fantastic work Anne. Bravo.
that violinist is truly amazing, what a powerful soul gripping performance.
This goes to the centre of my soul and caresses it with soulful, solemn reflection.
the violin solo at the beginning ALWAYS bring me tears. So powerful. Very good performance and interpretation here
simply the best version out there
Soulful performers of an all-encompassing work of art.
MAGNIFICENT performance from the soloist.
Amazing.
I'd love to hear a lossless recording of this - so compressed on TH-cam. Its the best I've heard since the Giddon Kremer original recording - she looks like she is the incarnation of the music.
Magnifique, bravo
Gracias Arvo, Anne, ésto llega al alma
Stunning.
Qué explosión!
bravo de jouer ce chef d'oeuvre aussi bien et bravo le pianiste
précédemment je vous est dit ce que je pensais de vous mais maintenant je félicite le pianiste qui est exceptionnel
Absolutely emotional.
