@@Sunshinebabygirl007 Joan, I did get to meet her at Rosie's luncheonette in Brooklyn right around this time 1981. The LaRocca's and Chinnici's were there.
Enjoy her Concerto at Rollins (Winter Park, Fl.) last night - ALMOST PERFECT. You all did an excellent performance COMPLEMENTI. It was like been at City Hall in Cremona with the Maestro playing an Stradivarius next to me. But I can't pass this opportunity without telling you that the caressing of the strings and the resonance of your instrument creates a powerful sensation in our mind that makes us loose the grip in our muscles. If that makes us happy and playful we do it unintentionally, it is the effect of your music in us. My italian father used to say (translation): "Education comes from the giver, not from the receiver". You are way above all the mundane sounds to allow an innocent foot dancing distract you. Please don't let that tarnish your performance. Nothing could distract Paganini, did it? Keep the good work and visit us again.
I don't know if it's true of all great artists -that they suffer for their work- but Nadja expressed in that five-minute performance every single emotion ever ascribed to the human face. Sometimes pain, sheer joy.., even, perhaps, relief! But I first saw her many years ago profiled on "60 Minutes" and I've loved her talent every moment I could since then.
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!
she is my customer and friend .one day a black man in belize tell her that he sings and she say im a musician ,,,and the man say mmmm no you cant be a musician you dont look as musician.....she laugh , me too
Just saw her play Piazzola "four seasons of Buenos Aires" in Santa Fe. all these years later, and she still has passion, technique, and drive. Inspirational. And also, what happened to featuring classical music on late night talk shows? Such a shame this music is no longer given a place in our mainstream society
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!
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!!
This. Every time I see the similar genius Chris Thile play and rock and sway and grimace violently on stage, I wonder if he is aware of his male privilege.
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.
She is AMAZING and she is my cousin!
Yes she is amazing.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Im also related to her(though i never got a chance to meet her) She was my grandmas aunt I think.( Joan wyan)

Her intonation is a bit fishy but her enthusiasm and clarity make up for it.

She's a once in a generation type of gift.....
Really Gorgeous!!!Amazing violinist!!But here is much younger..when it was actually?
1984
Really focus on the keyboard arrangement ..wonderfully changed to support the violin solo
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

She would twirl her violin during mid performance and the sold out audience would go wild! I am blessed to have seen her perform!
This performance caused me to weep freely, tears of joy
Best, simply the best!
Did we ever get that trumpet performance with Doc and the band?
from Jose' "Timo" Sepulveda........she always was absolutely JAW-DROPPING........sorry, Anne-Sophie......Midori........everybody else......
We're seeing her perform with the Pacific Symphony in two days. Can hardly wait!! She's wonderful!
Superb performance! But is she better than Dylana Jenson?
She has put in her 10,000 hours.

Quite remarkably vacuous.
Nadja or Hillary Hahn who ya got
oops...oops. But a piano doesn't give you much cover. It was still fun, and she has a quick wit, which is also fun, bantering with Johnny.
oops?
you must have an awful taste for sound
@@andrewnix6480 You didn't hear when she had a break and missed a bar? But she recovered quickly.
@@robotnik77 I searched for it, but I can't find it! It seemed like you were referring to her entire performance...
Oh, I forgot; "Bravo, BRAVO!"
Ahem - for future reference, she is a woman, therefore it is 'Brava', not 'Bravo'. : )
Violin. The Marvel way.

I was at Aspen that year. She was and is amazing.
Nadja rules. Period. Tortured genius, übervirtuoso. Makes Yngwie Malmsteen lose sleep and feel like a fraud.
simply amazing
yeah that was intense :D
nadja Salerno earned it !
Wow🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
i swear since my bestie started sharing nadja videos the veiws went up and so did the subscribers totally krazy likee a hurrikane
Back in the 80's was a TV performance of her doing Bach A min concerto--best thing I ever heard. Anyone got footage??!
She and Sarah Chang ruled the violin world in the 80s and 90s.
How fast can she play the bumble bee. She should be on aGT.
thank you for this video
Cool
5:15 Now that's what I call playing into the string!

Incredidble performance!🥀

Three Shredded Wheat
