You're the increíble! So so magic and beautiful! Thanks!!!

The juxtaposition of the chaconne, with its timeless 'heartbeat' and the swiftly moving traffic in the background is a beautifully arresting image.

It's not the arrow, the bow hit my heart.

Oh my, Rachel Podger is an angel from heaven... : D Lots of love~

Ah, the simplicity of an artist in her element, with juxtaposition of a rushing train and traffic outside. Inside, she is focused, immersed in the music, channeling something pure, refined, and divine.

Baroque and emotional performance and musician. Great Rachel Podger.

Bliss. This is the way Baroque string instruments should be played. Flat but full of emotional evocations. So lovely.....

Flat? Baroque timbre has the most dynamic tones

@@daniel3231995 maybe by flat they are referring to how honest it sounds. There is no wide vibrato and there is no rubato in random places, only notes and the pulse which is accentuated with articulation and rubato which serves the music and the accents. The scale passages are just what they're supposed to be: scales, they're not romantic melodies meant to be played with all the features I mentioned (wide vibrato, oftentimes random rubato, etc.) which are absent in this performance. What you hear here is a plain honesty that I only experience in flamenco, which this music is very reminiscent of due to the use of the Andalusian cadence.

@Aron Nathan Definitely, have been watching on flixzone} for years myself :D

I first heard Rachel Podger play in the recording of the Bach Double Concerto with Andrew Manze. He was the big name then but I was struck by the comparative warmth and flexibility of her sound. Not something you always associated with historically informed performance in those days - but I am quite sure a quality of the violin when well played throughout its history. She demonstrates this beautifully in the way she draws on such practices to shed new light on the repertoire she plays and, hopefully, to win new audiences.

After admiring her recordings for 15 or so years it's nice to finally see her play.

I just can't wrap my head around onto how beautiful this piece is. All I can do is shed tears. Thank you Biber.

I listen to the record but never saw this live before. This is absolutely brilliant. It is so difficult sometimes to make sense of this Biber piece, but here everything falls into place, and it sounds like the doors of heaven finally opened. Rachel Podger is fabulous.

Rachel Podger is one of my favourite Baroque violinists. She emphasises clarity of sound, polyphony, and emotion. Very good work.

This is one of my fav pieces and so far the best performance I've ever heard! So grateful this was recorded!!!!

Such perfect intonation!

Thanks, TwoSet.

Good luck, this piece is difficult but beautiful.

Beautiful performance, with each variation with its very distinctive personality, so well rendered. Very nicely filmed also, where it is interesting to see the contrast between our century with speed trains in the background, and with this music from another one!

Biber ranks among the greatest composers for the violin. How beautiful and enchanting!

Juste superbe. Parmi les plus belles versions que j'ai pu entendre. Écoutez aussi Manze ou Bismuth. Vous n'entendrez pas les mêmes choses mais vous serez tout autant transporté.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Amazing interpretation!

Beautifull. I love the low A Beautifull violin. Fits great to Biber.

I love baroque music because you can change it into your style. Or you can decorate it like a fabulous castle or just play it as a stone statue. But I love every style because it is music.

wonderful !

Very fluidly flat, nothing over the top, all the right emotions in place.

Is the Baroque violin tuned a whole tone lower than the modern violin?

@corgilove2070

7 жыл бұрын

usually @415. depends on orchestra, etc.

@toddsterben6647

6 жыл бұрын

It depends. A compromise often made for Italian music is a=415, a semi tone low, also German and others but not French, at least sometimes. Late 17th & early 18th century French is lower, compromise at 392, based on surviving wind instruments. But wind instruments survive at all sorts of pitches between 390 or so and even 440. Lots of winds were around 408/410(early 1700s) and later 405/435 (late 1700s). But there was no standard as there more or less is now. French flute music sounds so nice really low.

@oliviu-dorianconstantinesc288

Just about a half tone lower. So a baroque A would correspond to an A flat.

This is incredibly beautiful playing but I find the non-stop swirling and zooming movement of the camera work make it hard to watch

Is there a scordatura ?

@doctormock1

Жыл бұрын

Most of the other pieces in this set use some of scordatura, in one case requiring the violinist to switch the positions of the D and A strings in order to retune to Biber's designated pitches. This piece however uses the normal GDAE tuning for the violin.

Vibrato disturbs the vibration of the intonation.

Yeah Biber used Scordatura a lot, but not in this piece.

The majority rules! That is democracy! For the critical among you, however, it should be noted that Biber never played his violin like this. His instrument and his bow were completely different from Rachel's. The instrument was smaller, the tuning higher, the neck and the bow shorter, the G-string not wound ... etc.

This is too disjunct and erratic, which happens when one doesn't know what to say with the music. For me Holloway is the gold standard.

The trains and the traffic is fine. We could do without the two bozos in the background.

thank you for posting! it's lovely!
