A very moving performance. I've never heard a more beautiful sounding viola than Amichai Grosz's instrument. He plays it beautifully as well but I missed the visual intimacy between the soloists. Guy Braunstein looks at Grosz almost constantly but Grosz almost never reciprocates. Of course it's natural for a violinist or violist to turn to the left rather than the right, but Sarah McElravy manages it in her performance with Julian Rachlin and it adds something special.
Former colleagues in the Berlin Philharmonic. Not bad at all. In another era many decades ago they would have been summarily dismissed. Thank God we won the war.
At 32:17, the solo fiddle player steps back to observe the violist take a stab at those arpeggios at 32:25 and that scale at 32:29 (which he easily nails, of course.) That was a good natured little joke. NICE!!!
fascinating. why would've they been dismissed? the only thing i noticed were some tempo fluctuations withing phrases. what sorts of things were more important for string players to observe back then?
When Mozart uses repeated cliches of his, he gets on (my)nerves. Often, the opening of a piece is kind of humdrum. But then the piece continues,and Mozart's creativity gets on its way. And we (I) rejoice.
@@helloalto529 Think you're right. Also 1609 sticks in my mind. The performance is superb. It might be worth mentioning that this was Mozart's first concerto to rank as an undisputed masterpiece. Quite a few followed, to the great delight of us pianists.
Really, not very stylish, except for Amihai Grosz who must be one of the finest living viola players. For an elegant performance with marvellous tone and technique from the soloists, and a conductor who understands Viennese style, my favourite is the old recording by Franco Gulli and Bruno Giuranna.
@@lucosi98 the soloists are amazing , not the conductor : too much heavy and not in the mozart style sound . If you are not agree It's your opinion , respect mine :)
Beautiful, outstanding performance, superb violin yet it’s the viola that makes my soul’s hamstrings move with so much emotion ❤🙌🎻
Wow! That viola really rocks!
Truly magnificent performance. Kol Hakavod. Grosz is a truly engrossing violist!
Amazing performance.Thanks Guy Braunstein .Thanks Amihai Grosz.
A very impressive performance! Orchestre,soloists and conductor are in perfect harmony.Grosz and his partner B. are technically outstanding
.
I. Allegro maestoso [0:51 - 14:56]
II. Andante [15:16 - 26:48]
III. Presto [26:59 - 33:12]
A good viola sound.
And a good conductor
I was there. It really was a great performance

I don't think people realize how important this was.
Why...it was a really wonderful performance. I hope many more see it for it's beauty.
may I ask why it was important ??
Example of real musicianship..he is such a great artist.

@@antonboutkov862 These players are as Jewish as any Jew I ever met..... 1933, remember?
@@violinhunter2 Ohh my! Yes... forgot that history penetrated into the musical world as well. How awful
Bravo Amihai 👏
Bravo ariel 👏👏👏👏👏👏💐👏👏👏👏
Good Fellows !!! Bravo

BRAVO
Oh! How great music it is. If we would glorify God in Heaven, not Bach, Mozart does. (91yrs.Japanese) sorry strange English.
Anybody knows which viola is Amihai using? Doesn't look like his Da Salo
it is his da salo, along with Alexander Accessories fittings
really wanna know the maker of that viola
If I well remember it's Gasparo Da salo, (I'm not sure )

Where is Walton concerto?
pretty pedantic to listen to this now just how many hundreds of times a year its played

Im not sure anymore how guy got to be concertmaster, pretty rough playing.
Yes not good Mozart style. I like David and Igor Oistrakh best.
Big dude playing Violin and tiny dude playing Viola :|
I due solisti sono bravissimi e l'orchestra di grande qualità ma la direzione troppo pesante e noiosa , completamente fuori stile mozartiano !!!
In a wonderful piece like this and in a performance incredible like that one, are you sure that`s the only thing you could write?
