Prokofiev Violin Concerto No. 1 Excerpt - Episode 9 of "24 in 24: Concertos from the Inside w/ RBP"

Here's a free excerpt showing some of the highlights from Rachel Barton Pine's March 7 broadcast of "24 in 24: Concertos from the Inside with RBP," focusing on Violin Concerto No. 1 by Sergei Prokofiev. Enjoy a rare glimpse into Rachel's three-decade relationship with the Prokofiev Violin Concerto No. 1. Learn about the history of the piece and composer, and how she crafts her interpretation. Take a peek at her sheet music and see how she prepares for a performance. Hear her thoughts about capturing the delicate colors in the outer movements and overcoming the awkward virtuoso passages in the middle movement.
Each Sunday at 4pm ET/3pm CT/1pm PT on OurConcerts.live, Rachel performs the entire solo violin part of the greatest violin concertos unaccompanied. She shares her perspective on each masterwork, explaining how she prepares to play it and how her performance connects to the work’s historical and musical context.
Tickets are $20 per show, or $349.99 for the full series. An excerpt will be released for free about a week later. For more information, or to purchase the entire 60-minute show on demand, please visit ourconcerts.live/rbp.

It's a pity not many violinists don't understand the language of this beautiful work, which is hidden in the details. Rachel Barton Pine definitely does. Great remarks, congratulations

Great overview. That first mvt theme reminds me of SP's belief, rooted in his religious convictions (Christian Science), that his melodic ideas were a product of divine inspiration- hence, they retained their independence/integrity even if he re-used them in other contexts. Such a mysterious, floating quality- frankly, I prefer a slower approach to it than is common, notwithstanding SP's own dry, modernist performing style.

I knew you were a respected baroque interpreter but I haven’t heard you play something like Prokofiev! Thank you for sharing your wisdom :)

I just bought your book of sheet music! It's phenomenal, and I can't wait to perform your arrangement of the star spangled banner from the 90's :)

I just love everything you do on the violin!

Hi,
Donot sound so angry.
Ya should concentrate on performance elements.
Forget the history of compose.
No gliss in the beginning.
This cannot be blablaed o more.

What a needless comment
