Victoria Mullova is the best, I met her 41 years ago in Moscow, Russia. We were at the same school. She was my hero!
Sibelius and Mullova, a marriage in heaven. What a legend she is.
Just discovered this. Is this the last of the line of the old Russian school? It is absolutely stunning. So musical, So dynamic. This must be not just talent but also a tribute to the Russian school of technique and intelligent teaching, plus years of dedication and self-discipline. And the music making is direct, no nonsense, with no acting, pseudo drama or unnecesary crowd pleasing bodily gyrations. Just a direct line to Sibelius. Tremendous stuff.
yes, very monumental performance indeed, I burst almost every time to tears whenever I hear her playing,knowing her fight to escape terrible life under soviet comunism...This was her only way, music...
The school is persisting ! th-cam.com/video/gpUjYspXFUA/w-d-xo.html
Ikr. She's got a 'Heifetz' vibe in her playing. Very Russian.
Viktoria Mullova! What a violinist! What a performance! Such passion, such tenderness, such honesty. Absolutely fantastic!
She is the queen of violin. Nice to watch and listen to her performance when she was young!
She must have been 20 when she performed this and she has so much assurance.... technically perfect.. She is so "Zen" that it looks like anyone could grab a violin and play this....I even prefer this live recording to her recording directed by Seiji Ozawa.....and besides, she speaks 4 or 5 languages....she's just a Genius .......................
My God, she has really nailed this piece. Simply stupendous.
Maxim Vengerov 👑👑👑
i dont understand why so many people choose between the best version when clearly Mullova has owned it for a legendary millennium,
*Guila Bustabo who Sibelius himself said preformed it the way he had visioned* : allow me to introduce myself
@@ultimawerewolfbluephoenix9670 Sibelius did not want to offend anyone, so you need to be critical of what he said later in his life.
Bustabo did play the Finale very fast, which Sibelius clearly intended it to be.
The best Sibelius violin concerto players are Really=Guila Bustabo( the Queen Tiger!) Viktor Tretjakov( the King!!) Myriam Fried Itzhak Perlman Gidon Kremer live hurricane version not his recording! Leonid Kogan in 1974! The Really bad Sibelius concerto players=Sarah Chang colorless dry thin violin sound like a black and white tv picture! Ann-Sophie Mutter restless! Out of the rhythmic balance all the time! James Ehnes( the weakest Sibelius of all time! Ehnes his Sibelius a horror show
Absolutely no nonsense on the podium. Straight forward first class playing. Bravo.
My goodness, where to start? Love the left hand. Love the fourth finger. Love a "Sibelius" sounding violin concerto. Love the vibrato. Love the dress. Love the face. Super amazing. So deceptively hard and she "owned" it. How many thousands of hours of hard work it must have taken.
It has not only taken time, this kind of effort is heroic, Sibelius new the instrument, and the total picture of his works is arctic fight in nature, where you have to win to go on living. The hardship of night contrasts days charm.
Bravo pour votre magnifique commentaire ! Quand j'entends cette merveilleuse violoniste, j'ai foi en l'humanité. P M
Bravo! One of the greatest performances of this work ever recorded. Ever. In any form of media. Ever.
I spoto her after two or three-of het Lobdon concerts Greatest violinist of last hundred years
WOW... What a magnificent way to make Sibelius Violin Concerto resonate with majestic tenderness & power!
She´s one of the best ever.
She is AMAZING! There isn't a note out of tune and there are no words to describe the sound that she takes out of the violin.
Один из красивейших скрипичных концертов! Браво!
I remember when she fleed through Sweden,and it was on the news, they also broadcast a bit of this perfomance.I fell in love inctantly
Magical performance from both the soloist and the orchestra!
Fantastic beautiful genius lady!! Watched her live many years ago playing Mendelssohn in Copenhagen Tivoli and it was just a perfect stunning performance!
They should make a movie of her exciting life, first winning two most prestigious violin competitions, the Sibelius and Tchaikovsky, then deflection to the US from Finland enroute Sweden to US with her lover, not to mention her three children by three men including Claudio Abbado.
I totally agree with you. She herself looks like an actress or a model. I saw her just a few days ago at her recital and she is still so stunning.
Spoke to her after her London concerts and congratulated her
Великолепно!!!❤❤❤
I was playing violin then and of course she was the nr One .. and ever since this is closest to my heart 💓
do you still play now?
So true!
this is one of the really great performances. even among the greats it is seldom to hear such "on point" clarity of pitch, especially in double/triple stops, turns between figures, that seems to be so necessary to this concerto's almost wild harmonic leaps. just beautiful, fiery, but also retains a certain classic elegance . amazing. it doesn't hurt that her demeanor and physical beauty actually come together with the music and performance quality.
Well from Australia 2020 have watched a most wonderful performance and without any other Viktoria plays Sibelius with such conviction to make the master proud
Viktoria as I do not play intruments but love classic you certainly are perfect and will continue to follow your performances keep going into the future
She certainly is my preferred performer of this concerto, but everyone should do themselves a favor and listen to the version of her with the BSO.
I - Allegro moderato (2:16)
II - Adagio di molto (17:02)
III - Allegro, ma non troppo (24:36)
Die schönste Interpretation dieses Kunswerk schlecht hin.Danke wunderschöne Viktoria!!!!!!!!
it feels like a dream watching this classic footage. beautiful performance.
Une interprétation qui vous dilate le cœur, qui vous emmène dans un rêve immatériel.
La plus belle interprétations avec celle, en juin 1980 de Yuzuko Horigome au Concours Musical Reine Elisabeth de Belgique (1erPrix)
mullova is great,amazing performance,thank you
Very Excellent! She is one of the very best.
wow. I've got goosebumps. Still one of my favorites. I love watching her left hand. Great!!!!!!
Toinen tämän esityksen virtuoosi on Jorma Panula. Täydelliset tempot ja ei yhtään turhaa, yleisöä kosiskelevaa liikettä. Kaikki tulee käsistä, pienieleisesti - orkesterin fortekohdat pidetään aisoissa sivistyneen maltillisilla vihjauksilla (ei kyyristytä telineen taakse niinkuin joillain "huippukapuilla" on tapana). Huippukapu. Ja RSOn soitto on tietysti aivan loistavaa. Hauska nähdä 80-luvun silmälasi/hiustyylissä monta tuttua kasvoa...osa valitettavasti jo poistunut keskuudestamme.
Utterly beautiful and full of emotion.
Even though the orchestra has no sense of line nor care for timbre quality Mullova finds ways to amaze. Must've been really to play with such dantesque entourage.
One of the best interpretations I have heard so far!!!
3rd movement is perfect. Well, everything is perfect.
I think so,I ’ve never seen such a perfect performance like this.Bowing is perfect❗
wow. loved it. loved the fire. loved the vibrato.
As a German, I say: This is the real "Anne - Sophie Mutter" for me. I mean: She is the female violinist I really admire or even love, in any case.
She is wearing her lucky dress - the same one she wore when she won the Tchaikovsky competition. Leonid Kogan taught her how to articulate for great clarity. Her playing technique and style have changed over time, especially her vibrato. She may have won this competition on the basis of her great temperament.
PERFECT!!!
Brava !
wonderfull~
Fire... Awesome.
The video intro says:
>> This was how the concerto was performed in the last century.
That is not very helpful.
What aspect in particular is it referring to?
In what way does this performance differ from how the concerto is performed today?
Muy bella interpretacion
wow incredible :OO
Надо отдать должное - Виктория Муллова чудесным образом исполнила и воплотила в этом шедевре всё преподанное ей русской школой Леонида Когана - изумительный насыщенный звук, прекрасное чувство меры в нюансировке звука...очень плотный штрих, распределение смычка и вполне мастерское владение инструментом...браво !!!
i agree. it´s the best interpretation.
I loooove Dm.........
Exelent ❤️❤️❤️Maxim Vengerov ❣️❣️❣️
Relax, this is classic. Vengerov is a level below.
The only version I've heard that gets close to the standards set by Heifetz and Oistrakh.
Those tempi fairly rip along!
After this contest she escaped from Soviet Union to West by arrangement to proceed to Sweden. Asylum in Finland was not possible in those days.
Juha Kuikka To be more precise, she escaped after the Tchaikovsky competition in 1982.
To be exact, she deflected in 1983 from Finland during a recital to Sweden then two days later to the US.
what a treasure!
สุดยอดมาก ๆ เก๋าจริง ๆ
One of the best ... technically superior to most other players.
No one can play like this..even Heifetzs..
SGB nice joke man :))
Feliks Harutyunyan not a joke tho, the kind of colours portrayed here are frankly nothing like how Heifetz played, his own sibelius is very weird tbh
Goosh I want to learn how to do those vibratos😍
her hand is like a blur
Fast and brutal. The best fast but smooth version I've heard is Julian Sitkovetsky.
Who’s the conductor?
Is perfection a word
That is ever heard
Brought to life
In a torrent of cream
Like a dream
I’m Half awake
Imprisoned in my torpor
By this Finnish canticle
Stuffed with fire
Stuffed with ice
Oh how nice
How sweetly she sings her tune
I swoon
Indeed
she was pretty wonderful. she also looked wonderful.
2:15
What a very talented violinist! Pity they didn't let her be promoted in Russia those days.
yksi upeipia tulkintoja , huomatkaa panulan kepittömyys
Je préfère de beaucoup cette interprétation à celle de 1985 avec Ozawa et le Boston
I won't list the other recordings I have of the Sibelius Concerto, but her recording with Ozawa and the BSO is superior to all. The only flaw is the Phillips sound which they had remedied for a while with a 25 bit stream remastering. The current performance is surprising only in that the depth of the emotion in the performance doesn't show up in her facial expression. The comment by the reviewer who felt she didn't show enough emotion in her playing must have been made by a man in need of a brain transplant.

Hi Thomas, I just came across this recording and your comments here. I think there are some technical flaws, but are completely understandable and one can completely overlook it for the no non-sense, breathtaking interpretation + execution. That said, I am wondering what you think of the David Oistrakh recording of Sibelius with Rozhdestvensky as conductor and USSR Radio Large Symphony Orchestra?
Cold.
Sarah Chang more cold than Mullova! The best Sibelius concerto players are Really=Guila Bustabo( the Queen Tiger!) Viktor Tretjakov( the King!) Myrian Fried! Itzhak Perlman Leonid Kogan in 1974! Gidon Kremer live hurricane version not his recording! The Really bad Sibelius players=Sarah Chang colorless dry violin sound like a black and white tv picture! Ann-Sophie Mutter( restless! Out of the rhythmic balance all the time! James Ehnes( the weakest of all time! Ehnes horror show!)
Bullshit. No colder than it is meant to be.
How does it compare to Joshua Bell's interpretation?
Both are equally good. Depends on your own taste of interpretation. Personally I prefer a darker, gnarly rendition.

JA DAS GLAUBE ICH DIR - IRRE STUDENTIN DER HELLE WAHNSINN:
Sithirin
Väl genomfört. Önskar mer emotionell variation i övre tonlägen! Annars fullt
kompetent. her.
Wow. Didn't know Virginia Woolf played violin.
Great
@@ottokarvonschnallenburg2572 Thanks.
Masin 😴😴😴 no ❤️
I'm much, much more impressed with the clarity, intonation, and fire coming from the orchestra than I am the violinist. For the first 6 min. or so of the first mvt. I hear real intonation issues (passing notes). After that Mullova settles down and her playing is mainly distinguished. Cudos to the conductor and his choice of tempos.
He is Jorma Panula and best Finnish conducting teacher. Most of famous conductor from Finland are taught by him.
she looked like Cinderella here.
