I think Max Bruch would approve heartily of her rendering. If there is a "beyond", I hope he knows that his work is now among the world's treasures. I doubt that he ever imagined it would be heard in Japan - much less played so well by such a young woman !

She is probably my favourite violinist for the past 40 years. Superb!

I discovered her accidentally. I just knew I liked her recordings, didn't really know why. Then I discovered at least at that time she was playing on what was considered to be the premier instrument on the planet. I don't know which instrument she's now playing on.. I think it is a Guarneri del Gesu. It's had to believe that is what made the difference her talent is formidable for sure!!!

I always love her. Simple but a lot to give in her music.

Probably my most favorite female violinist. Very respectful individual, with reverence for previous violinist, knowledge and respect of the instrument, and possessing extreme proficiency. Very delightful to listen to her. Favorite male violinist Michael Rabin.

Interesting interpretation. Different from the frenzied, piercing insight of Hillary's or Bomsori Kim's. There are those to take exception of her rhythm but, isn't that what interpretation is about?

@@ChristineZietsman Indeed! I agree with you. Bruch reached levels of romanticism that usually overwhelm performers. Akiko showed her talent and added her vision of the concerto without detriment to it.

is that a Stradivarius?

Now, Ray Chen has possession of it, due to Akiko Suwani's inactivity in major virtuoso performances(possibly the loan contract expired and wasn't renewed, too). Not being able to afford it is a factor, too. He posted a video reel on his social media about it. Probably has more to mention, too.

@@highpointsights Yeah, exactly! On The Tariso Website, it hasn't updated that Ray Chen has possession now. To be honest, I personally prefer Del Gesu's for the mellow texture when listening to it than Strads.

They're just being professional and trying not to divert attention. Japanese conventions are often quite different, they often don't show emotion, especially when they're not the soloist.

It's solely based on a 1/4 of interpretation, which is what many professional soloists & masters do all the time. Sometimes, phrasing it differently than what is written may be acceptable at all costs, but the attempt has to make sense and be practical to everyone(i.e. audience, judges in a competition, masters criticizing a master class, private violin teacher at a college, peer professional musicians). For example, Bach's Partita's and Sonatas are not performed identically. If you listen to Itzhak Perlman's Bach performance of Bach Partita No. 2 compared Hilary Hahn's, her first movement interpretation is controversial to the historical context and period style, due to how she plays it under tempo. In all retrospects, most of the viewers appreciate the patience of Hahn, but some disagreed and appreciated how it should be demonstrated. I understand your concern/comment for Ms. Suwanai's performance of this piece, being rhythmically lacking in some way is distributing which is more on the opinionated side of the spectrum, but just know that a majority of classical musicians phrase musical literature differently and keep to the rule of being very logical & accurate with intonation/pitch and what is written on the page including fingers/annotations for guidance.

Also, I know there's different pedagogy styles and it seems to be a debate as well to argue or push which is the most accurate depiction of the Composer's works back then or in general with persuading/engaging and audience/other peer musicians/judicators/masters.

Hmm, she is the youngest violinist to win the prestigious Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition at the age of 18. You understand only some of the best violinists win this award, and the judges are the most knowledgeable in the field. But hey that is your opinion. I will take there's over yours.

@zumfully I agreed with your opinion. I am a Japanese graduate of Toho Gakuen music school where A.Suwanai earned soloists diploma. She has enough smartness, dicipline, and technical ability to play correct sense of sixteenth notes and various bowing, but for unknown reason she lacks care of the quality of short length notes and clean contact on the strings. So you can't expect good Beethoven concerto from her. However even she can't get the soloist spot with the top class orchestra, she is an example of how one musician's decent personality let suviving in this difficult industry.
