Recorded on 13 August 1965
Original recording: • Album - Khachaturian C...
Aram Khachaturian's Violin Concerto in D minor was completed in 1940 and dedicated to the Russian violinist David Oistrakh, who premièred the concerto in Moscow on September 16, 1940. Oistrakh advised Khachaturian on the composition of the solo part and also wrote his own cadenza that markedly differs from the one originally composed by Khachaturian. The concerto was initially well received and awarded the Stalin Prize for arts in 1941. The work became a staple of the 20th century violin repertoire, and maintains its popularity into the 21st century.
As with most concertos, the first movement is in sonata form and begins with a brief orchestral introduction, followed by the entrance of the soloist with the initial theme. The solo violin then introduces the lyrical second theme, marked espressivo, with responses from the woodwinds. A brief cadenza precedes the development section, which prominently features the soloist in several virtuoso passages. A second longer cadenza begins with a quiet duet between the solo violin and clarinet, but soon becomes more animated. The recapitulation of the principal themes leads to a brief coda, based upon the motif of the initial theme. The movement is in common time although there are extended sections in 3/4. The overall key is D minor. The technical demands of this music are considerable.
After an introduction featuring the bassoon and clarinet, the soloist enters with the movement's principal melody. The movement is notable for its variety of moods and the wide-ranging, highly expressive writing for the soloist. Toward the close, the soloist repeats the principal melody, but now played an octave lower, and with a dolce clarinet obbligato. After a dramatic orchestral outburst, the movement reaches its conclusion, as the violin's final sustained notes are supported by the horn and muted upper strings, along with descending passages in the flute, bassoon, harp and pizzicato lower strings. The movement is in 3/4 time although common time appears in phases. The overall key is a minor. The general tone of this andante is dark, often threatening, sometimes sad and sometimes angry, especially at the two orchestral climaxes. The second climax then fades away into nothing over a descending scale by the woodwinds over a held G-sharp violin note, which sounds like a semitone away from true.
In contrast to the second movement, this one is energetic and enthusiastic. Like many of the classical violin concertos, this one is in the parallel major i.e. D major. The tempo marking is Allegro vivace, 3/8 but the real feel is 6/8 and Presto. Unlike the first two movements, the rhythm remains almost constant throughout. The structure is rondo and the main theme (which comes after a longish orchestral introduction) is derived from an Armenian dance tune. The second melodic subject, which comes after an exuberant transition passage, is the same as the lyrical second theme from the first movement, now reworked to fit the new beat and given urgency and forward drive by a thumping string accompaniment. The third theme features nonstop semiquaver runs and leads back to a reprise of the main tune. A transitional passage then takes us to the coda, which starts with the main theme again but transposed and in rapidly shifting keys. After a vast circle of modulations the music finally comes in for landing on D.
The considerable length of the movement (approximately 450 bars of 6/8 or 900 of 3/8) together with the almost ceaseless semiquaver motion make this one of the most challenging works in the solo violin repertoire.

Thank you.
One of the best violin concertos.
Thats for sure one of my best discovers .What a fantastic composer...
He's fantastic indeed. Thanks for watching!
Geniuses compose and great musicians play their music.
for the first movement take a shot every time the time signature changes
Unfortunately I would be dead in the first few minutes.
Uhhh what I meant was fun challenge would do 10/10 again.
Bartok would like to meet you
Stravinsky says hello
This is for me my favourite violín concert . I from middle es and kachaturian músic and this concert is very special
When I first heard the 1st movement, I thought that a flute playing this piece in place of the violinist might be interesting and impressive. Then I saw the description saying that French flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal transcribed it for flute.
Debating if I should learn how to play this......
Same to be honest... any updates??
I want to learn the violin any suggestions on what to buy for a beginner
@Dano Zakerios it helps thanks a loooot not a lot of people would have actually even cared about this message but the time you must have spent to write this long message makes me think how good of a person you are. I live in India and there arent many luthiers here and so i was considering renting one you made my options clear I will buy one after I get a clear idea thanks again for taking the time to answer

la cadence c'est pas parfaite.... mais bravo , très-très belle interprétation 😊
So the Khautchaturian Cadenza or Oistrakhs? How do they compare?
I prefer the original Cadenza done by Khachaturian. The start of the Cadenza is really nice.
I play trombone for this. I don't even know why I exist.

Who is the performer?
Performers' information now added to the video description! Thanks for asking.
@@PentameronSV the Original version that you added in description is not the same of this video.
@@MyTunerLock Oh, you mean it sounds like a different recording compared to this video's recording? It sounded exactly the same to me.
The playlist which I linked in the description? The first half of that album is the Piano Concerto, the second half is the Violin Concerto. See the 4th video onwards.
@@PentameronSV an example are the triplets at 12:44 which are different and then they are also at a different minute because the general tempo is different.
@@MyTunerLock Yeah, actually, you're right, the durations of the individual movements here don't match with the playlist I linked.
Otherwise, I don't know which recording HenriVieuxtemps used for the source videos (see the end of the video description).
🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲❤️🫀
What does the two D's together at the beginning mean?
unison played on both the G and open D strings

@@siddharthabhimanyu9667 yess now we wait until Brett is feeling 100% and both are ready to perform another masterpiece
I don’t think this is oistrakh
You've posted the wrong concerto lol This isn't his Violent Concerto, it's his Piano concerto.
What?
@@PentameronSV This is not Khachaturian's Violin Concerto. You've posted his piano concerto. Understand?
Not sure if you're sarcastic or serious. Khachaturian's Piano Concerto is the following:

@@kaibibi lol that's odd. Now that I listened to it again, you're right, it is the violin concerto. I could swear it was a different piece of music! Oops. And no, I wasn't high lol It was very late though and by then I've listened to half of Khachaturian's catalog! XD
