I've heard several renditions of this, one of my all-time favourites, and she plays it beautifully with lots of feeling, and really seems to have absorbed the emotions engendered through every pore. Superb.
It is delightful to discover FRESH TALENT that bids fair to rival that of the "old masters." Music is more than masterful technique. Akiko well brings forth the SOUL of Bruch's music.
The assistant concert master(2nd Chair, First Violin) was the Concertmaster of the Sapporo Symphony Orchestra in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. As of now, she resigned her position back in Fall 2019, due to being diagnosed with ALS prior to one of her concert performances back in Spring 2019. Her name is Mayumi Ohira and has served 20+ years on that position. To me, she was my all time favorite concert masters from Japan. Let her passion of music & violin flow through her as she continues to live out her retired life as of now!😊
Also, the principal 2nd violin is named Junko Omori. Unless you live in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, I do not know what happened to her position, because she resigned a few years later after this performance. The Assistant Principal Violinist though is still an active memeber along with some of the first and second violinists. I'm guessing some of these memebers could be offical, but some would be substitutes and extra members for this concert. It is common to have this type of situation in some Western Symphony Orchestras with Subs and extra members to increase the size of it.
The best interpretation of this piece so far in youtube. I first listened to this piece live in 2009 at De Anza Community College in Cupertino, California. It was performed Tessa Lark , that's the best performance I have ever seen live. I wish they would have recorded it.
This is all new to me ;but what a pleasant surprise! I am sure we will see much more of these people and Max Bruch does not need an introduction . Delightful!
***** Indeed...Heifetz pulled a completely different sound out of this very same violin. But when you listen carefully, one could detect the same timbre here and there. Isn't it something that Akiko Suwanai plays on Heifetz's violin? I guess she must be so proud of this.
+Raoul Tak Heifetz usually played his Guarneri. He owned the Dolphin Strad, but that was not his perferred instrument for concerti. I only wish Suwanai's CD recording of Bruch was performed with the Dolphin, but alas, it was recorded on another Stradivarius before the Nippon Foundation gave her a lifetime loan of the 1714 Dolphin. Akiko Suwanai released a few records in the early 1990's (including the Bruch concerto). She then disappeared to complete more studies in NY working with mentors including Isaac Stern. She emerged in around 2000 a more mature and musical soloist. This was about the time she obtained the Dolphin Strad. It's a shame that the other great musical Stradivarius in existence, the Alard-Baron Knoop, is no longer played by a world class musician.
The Dolphin Stradivarius has a twin. It's called the Titian Stradivarius played by Cho-Liang Lin. But not all Strads are alike, and having heard the two instruments played on the same stage, it is clear that the tone of the Dolphin Stradivarius is special. This is high praise. The Titian is considered one of the finest golden-period Strads.
Rich sound yes, and also astonishing gentleness ... which is especially difficult with a Stradivarius Violin, which is not giving everybody its full range of voice. I am excited!
Since Heifestz, nobody challenged his perfect world. Ms. Swanai took challenge to go beyond the "ultimate" standard Heifetz set. We have to move on for the sake of music's future. A new phase of playing violin has started.
I'm absolutely no 'expert' but this is incredible ! Just need to keep listening and more listening - what a sound from an incredible violin :) First heard Bruch some 50 years ago and have never heard such an incredible performance since - brilliant , thanks :)
Her performance requires at least a 720 p download. This is only 480 p. Nonetheless, hers is a very deeply passionate and lyrical expression, very spontaneous and totally alive to all the subtle shadings of the composition . One of the best I've experienced.
Its hard to compare one to Jascha Heifestz, but I listened to he and then this- same piece- and enjoyed the passion in this one. Better than Sarah Chang- and thats a compliment.Very talented violinist
I'm sorry it has taken me this long to discover this version of Bruch!!! Can feel blood pressure plummeting! Haven't had the pleasure of listening to Akiko Suwanai before!
FORMIDABLE AKIKO ! J'ai eu la Chance inouïe de l'entendre ce Week-end chez moi dans les ARDENNES en Compagnie de Trois autres MUSICIENS Exceptionnels : Miguel DA SILVA, Henri DEMARQUETTE et Svetlin ROUSSEV dans le QUATUOR de DEBUSSY grâce aux "CONCERTS DE POCHE" Je ne suis pas peu Fier de les avoir côtoyé. MERCI !!!
Yoi kaishaku. I heard you played Max Bruch violin concerto N. 1 , Scottish Fantaisy, I also have your CD long times. One day , I wish to hear from you Concerto n.2 in D minor by Bruch . Sore wa subarashidesu. Kore ga watashinoyumedesu. Domo arigatogozaimashita.
I prefer her interpretation to Joshua Bell's. Her's is a smoother interpretation which fits to Bruch's composition. Also the recording is a better one.
最近の演奏の、充実ぶりは、素晴らしですね。今後の、ご活躍を 期待しております。オーケストラも、素晴らしいパフォーマンスですね。
この曲も優美でうつくしく、心を奪われます。煌めく星のように輝いていてきいうっとりしてしまいます。
1991年の演奏がyoutubeに上がってますが、、。これはベツモノですね。なんという音だろう。音だけで圧倒できるバイオリニスト、いまさら、あらためて、「今の諏訪内さん」に 熱中してます、、
素晴らしい演奏☆聴き入ってしまいました♡
素晴らしい
大舞台になればなるほど実力をだします。オケもすばらしい！
I attended Akiko Suwanai performance at the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra playing this violin.on March 01 2015. Love every minute of it.
Just the best version of my favourite piece I have ever heard. Wonderful.
OMG intonation flawless!!
か、カッコイイ。
めちゃくちゃカッコイイ。（語彙力）
I've heard several renditions of this, one of my all-time favourites, and she plays it beautifully with lots of feeling, and really seems to have absorbed the emotions engendered through every pore. Superb.
Antonpreis セントヘレナ島
A sublime listening experience!
Thank you for posting it!
どれを聴いてもすばらしい。諏訪内さんの演奏技術が素晴らしいのでこんな音がすっと出せるのかと思うほどあまりにもかろやかな綺麗な音が出てくるので錯覚してしまう程です。たゆみない努力の積み重ねでこんにちはあると思うのですが、才能の高さが感じられ将に天才と思われます。素晴らしい演奏に感謝。♪（それに演奏会の入場料が意外に安いので有難いです。感謝！感謝！
気品と迫力を感じます すばらしい 2nd 08:41 3rd 17:13 アンコール バッハ 無伴奏バイオリンソナタ２番 アンダンテ 25:00
コンチェルトが終わったあとの諏訪内さんの嬉しそうな様子がいいですね。普段あまり表情をおもてに出すことがなく、ひたすら音楽の深みに沈潜して、ときに「冷たい」と評されることもある諏訪内さんですが、珍しく見せた感情の動きが新鮮で惹きつけられました。そういう心の動きがそうさせたのか、アンコールのバッハがよかった。バッハのこういうテンポの曲は、たとえばG線上のアリアなどもそうですが、純粋な美とでもいうべき音楽の神秘を隠していて、諏訪内さんの演奏は、比類ない美しさでそれが露わになっています。
”孤独な散歩者”とはとても素晴らしいIDだと思います。violinist が作り出す音楽について終わった後の表情がいいとは面白いですね。音楽を選んで聞きながら”孤独な散歩者”とは oximoronではないかと思います。何故かと言えば音楽を聞いてる心は決して”孤独”ではない、自身の生き方、人生観、世界観など聞いている人となりが絶え間ない生動している筈ですから。。
"kodokunasamposha"をオクシモロンと解釈されたのは初めてです。たまたまルソーの孤独について感じ入っているときに着想したハンドルネームですから、言わば「そのまんま」借用したものであり深い意味はありませんでした。しかし改めて指摘されてみれば、ルソーの存在そのものが"oxymoron"と言えなくもない。人間を深く洞察しこよなく愛したにも拘わらず、皮肉にもその深い洞察のゆえに自身の存在を拒否される・・・ルソーのハートは美しいガラス細工だったかも知れません。
彼女の演奏を聴いていると、大変味わい深く心に沁み込みます。人類の宝物ですね。
なんというか、素晴らしいという表現だけでは足りないですね。これから先、未来の人達にも聴いて欲しい。人類の宝物のように感じますね。
こんな美しい演奏者がいたのかと思うほど諏訪内さんの演奏に引き込まれました。珠玉の演奏に感激しました。世界のヴィオリニスト諏訪内さんに拍手！！
最近の諏訪内さんの演奏は、ますます円熟味を増してますよ
This might be the best version of any concerto I've heard!
出だしから全然違う。。鳥肌経つし、涙出るし、凄い方なんですね。
Bruchs Violinkonzert wie es besser nicht klingen kann. Danke für diese wundervolle Aufnahme!
It is delightful to discover FRESH TALENT that bids fair to rival that of the "old masters."
Music is more than masterful technique. Akiko well brings forth the SOUL of Bruch's music.
25:00 Encore: J.S. Bach, Violin Sonata No. 2 in A Minor, BWV 1003: III. Andante
一生聴いていたい見ていたい
札響の弦楽器の透明な響きとよくあっているんだとおもう。
艶のある滑らかな音色に痺れます。
低い音はどこまでも深く、高い音はどこまでも優しく響いてて、風に吹かれてどっかに飛んでいきそうなくらい気持ち良い調べです。
3楽章の出だしもまるで鐘が響いてるかのような音色に美の極致です。
どこまで行くんだろう。諏訪内晶子さん。二楽章が素晴らしすぎる。凄まじき！
such passion!! I feel so much of the energy...I find myself holding my breath all the time!! Thank You for uploading this!!
Ms. Suwanai plays Bruch's Violin Concerto No.1 with power and conviction. Beautiful intonation and depth, bravo! That Stradivarius adds to the magic!
凄い良い演奏とオケだなぁ。札響さんってこんな凄いんだ。
諏訪内晶子の音圧凄いし、札協の一体感。かっこよすぎ。
So beautiful performance.
BRAVO AKIKO!!! Excelente ejecución de tan bello concierto!

What a beautiful performance! I remember the fantastic Europe Tour of Sapporo Symphony Orchestra with Akiko Suwanai!!
훌륭한 연주네요. 여린몸으로 열정을 담아서 연주하시네요
beautiful

非常に強い意思を感じる演奏、チャイコフスキーコンクールでの高熱を出していても曲を弾ききった話は有名。録音された曲のリストは、ウイキペデイアで分かる。I feel strong will.
ブルッフは日本人ソリストの演奏が似合う
演奏が丁寧で表現が繊細なうえ音色が美しい
なにより諏訪内とドルフィンの相性がピッタリ
特に2楽章はシビレル
偉そうな振りをやめてくれない？ｗ
アンチやめろし
This is all new to me ;but what a pleasant surprise! I am sure we will see much more of these people and Max Bruch does not need an introduction . Delightful!
感動！！！
I love the artistry in her performance!!! Love it!!!
i love Akiko Suwanai because she is a good Violin player .i hope oneday that she can come to Taipei Taiwan .i anticipate it .
Very well executed throughout with fine phrasing. An excellent Japanese violinist. A bravo.
What an, "Amazing Violinist" ..!.. beautiful music and wonderful performance ..
I can watch her play the whole day !!
モスクワで大きく開いた花。あのチャイコフスキーコンクールで優勝した時を思い起こす。涙
神の声が聴こえ、
それを翻訳してくれている
そうでなければ、ここまで美しいはずがない
I love her interpretation on Bruch's music, her insightful playing on Scottish Fantasy back in New York was amazing!
Bruch's Violin Concerto No 1 in G Minor is my most love one.
Such a clean and powerful sound. Brilliant!!
That is such a beautiful rich sound that she is pulling from that 1714 Dolphin Stradivarius violin
Yes, the performance of the violin depends on how the player plays it.
Thank you for watching my video.

Rich sound yes, and also astonishing gentleness ... which is especially difficult with a Stradivarius Violin, which is not giving everybody its full range of voice. I am excited!
sounds like singing! very moving indeed.
Only the violin can such create sound as to come near vocalizing emotion like that
Beautiful music, beautiful interpretated.
Great violinists ,for me this is my favorite
諏訪内さんの後ろのコンサートマスターの女性の方が諏訪内さんを見守る表情がとても優しくて印象的。
最近知ったのですが、女性の場合 mistress というのだそうです
大平まゆみさんです。駅コンなどオーケストラを離れての啓蒙活動にも熱心でとても気さくな方です。残念ながら病を得て現在は演奏はされていないようです。
Beautiful a house without music is like a body without a heart.
Since Heifestz, nobody challenged his perfect world. Ms. Swanai took challenge to go beyond the "ultimate" standard Heifetz set. We have to move on for the sake of music's future. A new phase of playing violin has started.
I'm absolutely no 'expert' but this is incredible ! Just need to keep listening and more listening - what a sound from an incredible violin :) First heard Bruch some 50 years ago and have never heard such an incredible performance since - brilliant , thanks :)

作为一名女性小提琴家，諏訪内さん的力量感让我吃惊，除了极好的把握了曲目的内涵，諏訪内さん手里的“海豚”给我们带来了至高的听觉享受，谢谢！
黒髪がとても素敵♪
流石、諏訪内さん、とってもきっちり弾かれています。この曲難しくて、遊びのあるバイオリンコンチェルトです。名演というのは、なかなか見当たりません。
Excellent!!!
Her performance requires at least a 720 p download. This is only 480 p. Nonetheless, hers is a very deeply passionate and lyrical expression, very spontaneous and totally alive to all the subtle shadings of the composition . One of the best I've experienced.
Ganze amsambel excelet . Solistin Nr . 1 🌹💐🌈💐🌹🥀🌷🌺🌸🏵️🌻🌼🍃🌱🌿🌳🍁🍂🔥♥️
日本人の現役ヴｧイオリニストの最高峰の一人だろう、
I love Akiko Suwanai
作当小提琴協奏曲使用的協奏曲使用的這把琴。真的很好用。有很強大並的優美音色。亮麗。悠揚。呈現。与大樂團抗衡。並有。悦耳。的。穿透性音質。無論在小提琴音高。的任何位置音域的。
Its hard to compare one to Jascha Heifestz, but I listened to he and then this- same piece- and enjoyed the passion in this one. Better than Sarah Chang- and thats a compliment.Very talented violinist
素晴らしい！アンコールのアンダンテは純正律の響きを出すため意図的にノンビブラートにしたりしている。凄いなぁ。
unforgettable
Ohh mio Dio che Dio dentro di te ti BENEDICA! Pronunciare cosi tale. Ellezza
I'm sorry it has taken me this long to discover this version of Bruch!!! Can feel blood pressure plummeting!
Haven't had the pleasure of listening to Akiko Suwanai before!
諏訪内晶子様の赤いドレスのブルッフが大大大大大好きです
FORMIDABLE AKIKO !
J'ai eu la Chance inouïe de l'entendre ce Week-end chez moi
dans les ARDENNES en Compagnie de Trois autres MUSICIENS Exceptionnels : Miguel DA SILVA, Henri DEMARQUETTE et Svetlin ROUSSEV dans le QUATUOR de DEBUSSY grâce aux "CONCERTS DE POCHE" Je ne suis pas peu Fier de les avoir côtoyé. MERCI !!!
maravilha!
Exquisite!
Magnifique
Bravo
如瀑布击岩，如白练横空，气势磅礡。一会跌宕深潭，一会幽谷兰芳.....
Her bowing arm is good and that it would seem that the bow is completely part of her arm.
@ 6 minutes, beautiful.
the finale sounds like 2 violins are playing! wow
I would like to embrace you and only say to you: my God what beautiful!
Predivno.
my respect
BRAVO !!! Superb interpretation - good tempo !

it makes my eyes water
I played this for all my children to grow even more brain cells
super, danke
さすが、チャイコフスキーコンクールで審査員全員を唸らせた当時19歳の日本人バイオリニスト。
ブルッフの音楽が鮮やかに彩られ音が踊っているよう！
オーケストラもこれだけの演奏ともなるとセッションが楽しいだろうな。
チャイコフスキー優勝したのは、満18歳でした。誕生日が2月の早生まれ。高校卒業したばかりの18歳でした。当時の演奏が見られるようになりTH-camに感謝です。
I prefer her interpretation to Joshua Bell's.
Her's is a smoother interpretation which fits to Bruch's composition. Also the recording is a better one.
神曲
💐
諏訪内さんの密かなトレードマーク、パール一粒のイヤリング。演奏の最初から、客席側にはパールをつけていて左耳にはつけていないのは万が一にも楽器を傷つけないためなのでしょうか？（あるいは落としただけなのでしょうか・・・）
若かりし頃にブルッフの録音ありますがこちらのほうがはるかに円熟味を増していて感激しました。
20年共に歩んだドルフィンと離れ今度がグァルネリでしたっけ？新たな楽器を奏でる諏訪内さんを聞きたいですし、ドルフィンが今度は誰のもとで歌うのかも楽しみです。
The Dolphin, wished i have one or two of them.
Nice voice
No wonder Classical music is dying. Yet another innocuous rendition and hysterical rendition of this already hackneyed composition.
除了各琴聲音美外。覺得她的拉琴。力度。情緒。都相當釋放。也不因自己是女性演奏者。下音在强奏樂段。就釋放言色。音量。音壓。
到極限為止。
Shlomo Mintz with Claudio Abbado conducting is by far the best interpretation of all. Even Bruch would've spell-bounded by that.
