The downside is I feel like an off, because every time I relisten I hear some stunning new element and think "how could I have missed that all the other times I heard this piece!?"
I first heard parts of this when i came across the Isao Tomita "Bermuda Triangle," album in 1992. He 'electroniced,' up various parts of it, especially on side two of the BT album. It was so nice to hear that i researched the music, and found that it had been adapted from this concerto. It got to a time when this work came on Radio Three and i was in work so i couldn't record it, thus i employed my father to do so for me. He did so, and i heard the concerto in full at the end of the week. How pleasantly surprised i was to find that it contained that parts that Tomita had electroniced up, i just thought that was him adding his own touch. This is my favourite Prokofiev concerto, and i don't think my father had heard it before. When it came on the radio in the times after he had recorded it for me he'd always call it "Michael's violin concerto." That was nice of him
At the beginning you dream. At the scherzo something crushes your lullaby and changes your dream in unpredictable way. At the 3rd movement the dream of the beginning is twisted and you're stuck in it. Forever.
This has to be the most wonderful violin concerto of the 20th Century (The Prokofiev 2d concerto is pretty great, too). Julia Fischer is one of the very best players in the world. Check out the video of her recording the Mozart Sinfonia Concertante K364 - a real joy!
Sibelius ? Berg ? Schönberg ? Stravinsky ? Bartók ? Britten ? Barber ? Berio ? Dutilleux ? Ligeti ? Gubaidulina ? Chin ? Too many great violin concertos out there for there to be one single most wonderful
I was in a concert where this piece were performed Apparently I hadn't been breathing and moving till it was over Prokofiev is such comprehensive composer
Absolutely adore this concerto it's got to be my total number one favourite violin concerto in the world. I'm used to Dimitri Sitkovetsky playing it, but this was an excellent rendition also Thank you for uploading
I feel like im in the grass fields like in the sound of music where you can see mountains and you are the main character just running around the fields like there is no tomorrow then suddenly the scenario changed you went to deep dark forest. You got lost but you tried to look for an answer or a clue to get out of the dark forest, sorry there so many possible imaginations running wild in my mind while listening to this piece
How about giving credit where credit is due? We get a parenthetical listing of the violinist, and a wall of text with your thoughts about Prokofiev, but no mention anywhere of the orchestra or conductor?
@@sheboyganshovel5920 you can scroll all the way down in the description (if you’re on mobile or computer) and press the three dots near the album cover. there you can see the conductor, orchestra, etc.
Prokofiev is one of those composers I can listen to on repeat and never loose interest.

Suggestion Diabolique?

11:24 is like if losing one's mind were a sound.

the orchestral part at 15:42 is so beautiful
20:00 is absolutely magical and beyond brilliant! The return of the first movement theme layered w/ third movement themes!!
Walton was very inspired by that in his viola concerto where he does a similar thing in the last movement
@@slateflash And in his violin concerto too
I feel like I was personally attacked by that second movement, like I got flexed on really hard
Hahaha!!!!

Mmm but Brittens concerto though.
Shostakovich concertos too..
Sibelius...
Stravinsky's and Barber's I find to be very enjoyable. Especially the latter.
Sibelius ?
Berg ?
Schönberg ?
Stravinsky ?
Bartók ?
Britten ?
Barber ?
Berio ?
Dutilleux ?
Ligeti ?
Gubaidulina ?
Chin ?

Apparently I hadn't been breathing and moving till it was over
Prokofiev is such comprehensive composer
The part from 18:32 to 20:02 just speaks to me on such a fundamental level
Interesting. I found that part a little sarcastic, regarding the diminished scales all violinists practice.
@@djcata7474 Oh I wouldn´t know anything about that since I don´t play the violin, I hear that part with untained naivety
Absolutely adore this concerto it's got to be my total number one favourite violin concerto in the world. I'm used to Dimitri Sitkovetsky playing it, but this was an excellent rendition also Thank you for uploading
This is the most beautiful bundle of misery I've ever seen
I must play it
It makes me feel distressed, but in an ok way
I love the first movement, but I honestly think the third movement is my favorite.
god i love 6:17 so much
Me too,it's like the last word before going totally crazy
The final minutes are sheer beauty.
I think everyone likes the part from 11:07
Thank you, that’s actually my favorite part🥰
I'm ready to dance to it.
3:45 When the woodwinds start mocking you

How lovely.
8:07 That's how enter the Heaven sounds...
I prefer violin Concerto No. 1 to No. 2. It has a unique Russian feel.
Gorgeous perfect score adore it Thankyou X
6:17 DADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADA
6:22 he really demonstrates pizz hand equality
He uses the right hand as much as he uses the left
11:25 A pure moment of headbang
12:19 sounds like something from Outlast.
3rd movement us the best for me. So beautiful.
6:07 ❤️🔥
3:46
J'adore le scherzo très à la corde@
6:07 was amazing. But the 6:17 pizzicato was so weird. Can someone tell me the meaning of this. I really want to understand
Hi
LOL
Just wondering - why do most most recordings slow the tempo at 10:57?
It seems like musically everyone likes slowing down there.
@@alna9681no its bc of the notes, it changed
Culture
I would guess that its because of the speed of the effect that accompanies the motif of this part, when it repeats :)
0:06 is a good place to start.
there is music before that !
@@hariscausevic9502 yes there’s some quiet viola tremolos
can you sleep with a concerto? bc holy buckets i want to
Haha I wish
Haha, there is a lot of passion in it, you're on to something 😉
10:57.
Comme un beau reve
2:41 🤌🏼
10:57 😊
Who is playing here?
Juia fischer
Julia Fischer, with the Russian National Orchestra under Yakov Kreizberg's wand.
3:44, 10:08
형제의강 드라마보고 찾아왔어요ㅋㅋ
근데 어느부분인지못찻겟노
I agree
😮😳😲😱 so hard to play !!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously ??!!!! A ad at 2:00 ?!! You have no respect to the music !!!

이거보면이화1등~💓💓
Very close to alien music!
what does that even mean
I meant it as a compliment . It’s not tonal , strange melody and very deviant from any “standards”. That’s what I meant
@@alkishadjinicolaou5831 i see, glad you enjoy it!
@@alkishadjinicolaou5831 wdym not tonal, it's very tonal
@@sneddypie I think he mean about second mvt
25:00
Lmao this roast, "the best part is when it's over"
مجرد عزف علامات موسيقا .الموسيقا ليست هندسة بل احساس مرهف .. الموسيقا الراىعة لالياس الرحباني .. دمي ودموعي وابتسامتي
