Digan lo que quieran, pero entre un Stradivarius y un Guarnierius el sonido del segundo es muy superior; , tiene potencia, color y brilho, su vibración es más cálida y penetrante, produce matices inigualables.

pienso exactamente lo mismo, pero leí un artículo no recuerdo en donde, pero para poder tocar un guarneri, debes ser un buen violinista ya que un stradivari es más sencillo de tocar, la razón es por que, si es mas potente el guarnerius,y como lo mencionas el stradivarius esta mas ajustado en cuanto a la proyección del sonido.
At 4:57 an absurd comparison is made. They would have had to test the group of violins, using a group of violinists, each one playing selected pasages on all the instruments. The violinists would have to have been: 1. Fritz Kreisler 2. Nathan Milstein 3. Heifetz 4. Erica Morini 5. David Oistrakh 6. Zino Francescatti 7. Gregory Dinicu or Enescu It's like testing artists quality paint.
+almeronfilms Oh yeah, big mistake..... I left out Mischa Elman, who might be one of the best for comparisons. You could use him on one end of the spectrum and Milstein on the other.
Oh god, way to take things literal. He said “maybe” and “or something.” He made a point about it being incredible painful. It’s only about the money for investors, for musicians it’s their voice. Violinists careers have been destroyed by losing their instrument and plunged into depression. it wasn’t that outrageous to put it that way.
She is an amazing player shame she hated teaching at UT Austin she thought the students weren’t up to her standards. Plus she owns all those violins it’s no “anonymous donation.” Everyone knows her husband bout them all. Great player she plays like no other.
"No one has done it better"...Wrong...There were some maker whos violins were as good as sradivari. and the maker guarneri made some violins which are better then strad. violins. Paganini has several violins from strad and guarneri but always played the guarneri
@@branflakes2600 doubt that, in this video, she plays the best melodies on her strad. guaneris are power houses, but for the sheer sweetness of sound, its a strad any day. even copies of those instruments exhibits similar character.
To me what Anne Akiko Meyers says around 1:30 is very significant. I own four violins, one I bought one I made and two carbon fiber violins. All of them communicate with me when I play. Both carbon fiber violins have a surprising amount of handwork in them and one maker actually saves certain acoustic tests from every violin he produces. If an inanimate object can have both personality and soul all four of my violins feel like they do when I play. Like many, I also have carbon fiber bows. Four in all and each is also unique. My most expensive one is a pleasure to play and my first is not vet good by current standards but was a revelation when I first tried it. All of my babbling is to try to say that the maker puts part of themselves in everything they make and wood is only part of the answer though I will admit to pondering over my wood selection for an hour or so when I bought the wood for the violin I made and then felt this enormous obligation to the wood to do my best making a violin out of it. Sorry to rant on about this but Anne Meyers words were very significant to me.
This is wonderfully interesting. I say, of corse they have residual residue and spirit from the masters who have played them. Myers is top notch, and she described the violins as vibrant and able to produce ranges of color, that give Myers a deeper innovation to immagination, with such rich, explicit, intonations. She canst not but create and flourish.
A very talented violinist but I also detect a darkerand well hidden side to this lady Anne Akiko Meyers. I know some will not like this but that is what I perceive. She plays extremely well but lacks... soul in her energy. Weird and hard to describe.
Thank all of you who have contributed to my vapid understanding of the Lire De Bracio and MISS Meyers for sampling some of the finest violins on the planet. ITS LIKE SHE SAYS, A FINE INSTRUMENT WILL ALLOW AN ARTIST TO TRANCEND REALITY.
I believe we can still make this piece of art, its just that people nowadays are too much preoccupied with so many things around us. Unlike in those days, people have so much time to devote on their craft. Old or new is just relative. If a price tag of that instrument is more valuable what else do you expect? You tend to be more emotional...
The reality is that, unless you're comparing a really cheap violin to a really good one, they all sound 99% the same and the sound variation from one to the other is determined by the player rather than the instrument.Attributing the terms "dark" and "gutsy" and "ballsy" to her violin - it's all in her head.
Patricia Slocum Yes. I do play. I’d hardly call myself an “accomplished” violinist - in fact, I wouldn’t even call myself a violinist. But yes, I play. I also play piano, so I have a pretty strong musical background. Most of what violinists say about the sounds of violins is highly, highly subjective, inconsistent, and not based in any objectivity, much less based in science.
@@mas3ymd Thank you. Perhaps the feelings are the ones stirred in her by the deepset anticipation of crescendoes and quiet passages, then on to bursts of fiery excitement. Just my opinion. I am not not much for science, but I am a creative. I do not play, as of yet, but I sing, write songs, novels, and poetry. Not that that means a hill of beans.
Anne is gorgeous and so talented.
I love it that she keeps playing Vivaldi.
Beautiful ❤️
I prefer the tone of the Guarneri any day to the Strad though. Deep, velvety, sad 🎻
I feel that way about the Amati viola.
My first instinct was ¨OMG a Stradivarius¨ Hahahahahah 5:22
Where is the ending,, need more,😅lol, thank you for the video, though,.
Comment: This can be compared to people. These Violins at times have great chemistry connection with some of its players. 2024

+almeronfilms Whoops, I left out Ruggiero Ricci....And I would include Isaac Stern, since he was a very tone quality oriented player.
+almeronfilms Oh yeah, big mistake.....

You could use him on one end of the spectrum and Milstein on the other.
GUARNERI!!!!!!!!
ik
:D :D :D Guarneri=the best. Look at us Guarneri enthusiasts!
It hurts every time he pronounces something wrong
anyone else amazed at how her strings are evah pirazi golds at one angle and then magically turn into PI strings at the other angle?
Physics Only
it was two different violin
The Evah Pirazzi Golds are on the Guarneri and the PI's are on the Strad
Way to go Milwaukee :o
Yeah...but will it blend? Also can it play Crysis? OK OK im leaving now...
Enjoyed this very much, until the concertmaster compared having an instrument stolen to watching one's child being kidnapped.

funny things violins . no 2 sound the same no one has done it better ! guarneri were preffered by others of the time paganinis guarneri
A violin could be worth one hundred billion dollars if some rich fool wants to pay that kind of money.
expensive violins are auctioned and because of that, it could be possible

Anne is a strikingly beautiful woman and a amazing musician!

This just lifts the heart now we're in this corona mess
The way he pronounces some of those words make me angry. He definitely needs to work on that.
I wonder what they sounded like with only gut strings 😮
How are the strings changing colors in the middle of the Vivaldi piece? lol
Its just light reflecting off of metallic strings
it is because she switched from her Guarneri (with evah-pirazzi gold strings) to her Stradivarius (with peter infeld strings(i think))
@@hassaanahmed23 @violinsheets was talking about the winding at the end of the strings
@@danielphendarko2651 oh i see :)
next time when I go to a concert, i know what exactly i pay for to hear.

Vieuxtemps Guarneri is absolutely gorgeous... simply stunningly beautiful.. I cant stand it.. its too much for my eyes...
Guarneri and Stradivari for violinist are comparable to Gibson Les Paul and Fender Strat for rock guitarist. Am I saying it right?
Awesome video! Thanks for allowing this educational and super cool video to remain available for viewing today. Take care and stay healthy. (Smile)

Lord have mercy, he needs to work more on his research, especially pronunciation and names!! SMH
The guy looks like lestrade from Sherlock
Who are these modern violin makers that rival Stradivari?
An amazing glorious Art...🎼🎼🎼
Just wonderful!
what's the title of this piece in 2:38? :)
+Alfretch Ebuña prokofiev violin concerto no.2 first movement....

What was the first and song she was playing
Bach - Air on the G String
what's the music she is playing at 1:00 ?
It is Vivaldi, the so called Summer opus 8 no 2
Physics Only Summer 3rd Movement
