Ever since I first heard this piece about 20 odd years ago in a recording by Adele Anthony it's been one of my favorites. This is a wonderful rendition. Thank you for sharing.
.. I heard Spivakov perform the Schubert Fantasie live at Avery Fisher Hall in NYC during the late 90's? when he was a bit younger/in his technical prime-- and the extraordinary flying spiccato made the entire audience gasp in unison. unforgettable. in my humble opinion? Spivakov has the greatest bow arm I have ever seen.. that 'flat' wrist, and total mastery- just breathtakingly beautiful to behold-- Bravo Maestro Spivakov! and thank you so much for posting--- th-cam.com/video/Awm7W8_8Ulk/w-d-xo.html
"Our" Vladimir Spivakov is not only a great violinist is also a great conductor. I saw him in Prades (Pablo Casals festival) two years ago conducting Haydn cello concerto : this was absolutely amazing ! I discovered him, few years ago in this beautiful performance : th-cam.com/video/i2BQGjfi59Y/w-d-xo.html Hope you enjoy !
Violinist who can make the tigers weep?? A little bit of "shop talk" on the violin technique... These days what is appropriate as a violin virtuoso, when is a good time to "show off", or using fireworks to paint the dull sky, shall we say?? In this case, violinist Vladmiar Spivakov is at his virtuoso element in the Schubert Fantasty in C major D 934 performance. From 11:38 for about 60 seconds, you can see clearly he chooses a more complicated and difficult bowing path, using upbow staccatos and whenever his doing non-lyrical things, they are really quite off-the-strings strokes. First let's look at some of these dates: Franz Schubert 1797-1828 Schubert Fantasty D934 1827 Josef Slavik 1806-1833 Niccolo Paganini 1782-1840 It is very clear that all these dates overlapped somewhat... Schubert and the dedicatee of D.934 Slavik were in Vienna at the same time obviously. Both of them had short lives, Schubert died at 31 years of age, and Slavik only 27 when he passed away. From a recent book by Alan Walker, Chopin was so amazed of Josef Slavik's abillity: Frédéric Chopin who heard Slavík on several occasions described his skills as: "With the exception of Paganini, I have never heard a player like him. Ninety-six staccatos in one bow! It is almost incredible! He plays like a second Paganini, but a rejuvenated one, who will perhaps in time surpass the first. Slavík fascinates the listener and brings tears into his eyes... he makes humans weep, more he makes tigers weep." (from Wikipedia entry on Josef Slavik) So while most violinists do the easier up-and-down spiccatos, Spivakov chooses the less-traveled path of virtuoso bowings, which in my view is totally appropriate and authentic, as Josef Slavik who played for Franz Schubert most likely would have done exactly the same. Now I don't have the Urtext to this piece... but I think my little investigation can rest easy, nonetheless. By the way, I read somewhere... that Evgeny Kissin said that this piece is more difficult for the piano than all four Rachmaninoff concerti combined, well I don't know if that is true, but surely it is a challenging piece for piano (or fortepiano if you will) as well. Bravo Vladimir Spivakov (violin) Alexander Ghindin (piano)... and Franz Schubert!!
Spivakov has only two vibratos. Very very fast or nothing at all. In Music vibrato is an expression tool. Because he always stops the vibrato there is no legato. Hora Stacatto…? On Schubert…?
You've never heard of Schubert until now?! Wow, that's great, you have a lot of amazing music to discover. I recommend his String Quintet in C major, his String Quartet in G major and his Unfinished Symphony. He's known for his chamber music, his Songs for voice (lieder), his piano sonatas and his symphonies.
Schubert is a very popular German composer, he composed music when Beethoven was around too. He's extremely popular for his lieder (songs) he wrote about 600 of those I think. He's seen as the master of the 'songs' (liederen) because he invented 'the song'. By definition a song is a piano accompaniment and (a) singer(s), which is also still recognizable in the songs that are written in this century and the century before, but instead of piano it's multiple instruments or electronic, but still a singer that sings text. So if you every wondered where the word song comes from, it's from Schubert he invented it :). He wrote some symphonies too that became very popular, like his last one that has never been finished by him. It's quite literally called 'Schubert's unfinished symphony'. It's the most popular symphony by him. He also wrote string quartet's and quintet's that are on this day played very often. Haydn and Schubert made some of the best quartet's and quintet's known. Schubert wasn't very popular in his time because Beethoven was getting all the attention. Schubert had a love/hate relationship with Beethoven because of that. He liked his music, but not him getting all the attention. He wrote music mainly to be played in front of people at home, there was a time that he would write 18 songs a day when he was very young (about 17 years old). He was a prodigy pianist, and composer. He knew he wanted to continue writing music even though he would barely make any money out of it. After not being popular back then, the future became his. Schubert is now very popular amongst the classical composers, and is ranked at Mozart and Beethoven's level of writing music. *Every* single piece he wrote had a meaning, and had a complexity to it, even the music he wrote when he was a little kid.
@@mariedagoult1 Thank you for your informative Biography of Franz Schubert, I am afraid as a performer tend to focus on what I perform and Schubert has never been in my repertoire apart from the odd Symphony in the Youth Orchestra when I was younger. I was never good enough to play chamber music on my violin or good enough to sing his lieder. I admired orher students who could. Now I have found my niche in folk music and have been learning Irish traditional music last ten years and performing folk clubs last 8 years occasionally earning money at gigs and nursing home activities. It is important to entertain people with tunes you familiar with. I do enjoy and admire a lot of classical music as I am very interested in the history of music from early music of 16th and 17th centuries, as the latter there is the missing link between classical and folk music with the gradual acceptance of church music and music in the streets. During Lockdown my appreciation for all genres of music has increased by my constant listening to you tube. Adam Beanstock
The great violinist, Vladimir Spiccato!
0:35 that bow control WoW!!!!
Hora stacatto on Schubert? And so scratchy?
1. Andante molto (00:13)
2. Allegretto (03:34)
3. Andantino (09:14)
4. Allegro (19:54)
5. Allegretto (23:00)
6. Presto (24:16)

11:50 Absolutely amazing!!!!!
Really? I found it rather out of style, too scratchy, neither singing nor elegant at all.

WHEN WAS THIS PERFORMANCE?????
Spivakov has only two vibratos. Very very fast or nothing at all. In Music vibrato is an expression tool. Because he always stops the vibrato there is no legato.
Hora Stacatto…? On Schubert…?
no heart, no diversified vibrato, very simple...
I prefer Franco Gulli:

Is that performed in Russia? Never heard of the composer , fabulous interpretation, it sounds full of Russian folk tunes. Adam Beanstock

I noticed Schubert was mentioned in the title sorry for my over sight, my particular favourite is the trout piano Quintet. Adam Beanstock

Медленно, тяжело, одним звуком, магии ноль.. Фу!
Точно,,,но раньше было ещё хуже. Впрочем, Ничего нового. Зрелище жалкое,,,,,😮
