Breath-taking performance. I've always found Berg to be the most interesting of the second Viennese School, certainly the most emotive. This particular piece has a wide scope and always seems to hit the right spot when my mind is in turmoil.
My mind is blown with Berg's audacity to use all 4 open strings to start off a concerto. It showcases the violin in such a raw form before getting into the intricate stuff. Starts in a place of comfort before moving to the surreal. My gosh.
Mind blowing! She gets out all of the lyricism of the atonality, with such sentiment. At times sweet, and then harrowing despair... One of the greatest performances of this masterpiece.
As this music is played in Gothenburg, Sweden, and I am a swede, I think I have the right to celebrate Alina, both for her chamber music playing and her soloist playing. This Alban Berg´s Violin Consert I have known for a long time, but never heard it played so well as here. Thank you, both solist and orchestra!
Alina's understated performance belies the anguish and poignancy of this beautiful 12-note piece composed by Berg in the sad memory of the death of the young Manon Gropius. Tack sa mycket.
Would be interested to know how many listeners here are classical music professionals. I've listened to and loved most classical music all my life, as an amateur, but still cannot stomach Berg and his compatriots. It's harsh and emotionally very unpleasant, but it seems that an intellectual appreciation can often override humans' natural gut reaction to such music. At any rate, programming this music at symphonic performances is still a proven way to continue shrinking the audience for classical music.
Thanks for shattering my naive concept of Danes being more civilized than the average YT commenters who feel the need to personally insult everyone with whom they disagree. It seems, Ali, that you more nearly fit the average Western stereotype of Mideasterners as being hostile and aggressive.
davehshs Ha! Not a Dane, so your concept remains intact (I agree, they do appear more civilized than most). Also, not from the Middle East....but my comment might've been a tad hostile. I apologize for the perceived rudeness.
TheXynos7 Hi Patrick Geffroy. Yes very true. I was commenting about the performance lacking musical depth here, but nonetheless, this piece is tastefully impressive. I was friends with a friend of Roger Sessions who also knew Arnold, they had spoke on the phone before. Sorry I don't know French (yet). I have found 12-tone music can be useful for developing the "horizontal" harmonic approach, even for improvisation.
Yes indeed. Good stuff. Harmolodics. I was working with the idea of tonal rhythm in microtonal settings for some time. Tempo is also a pitch if you abstract music theory further. Serialism can be applied to visual dimensions. Did you know the light spectrum is about 1.7 octaves even though it is transposed by some enormous factor. Even though light is less octaves than music, it has far more unique notes. The implications of harmolodics extends further into metaphysical realities applicable to any sonic work.
She plays nice, but in a standard way as anything else. But this not just some standard romantic piece, but rather mysterious music of another kind ... she still needs to understand it ...

An angel with wondrous music entered my room.
Tune your violin.
Take a bow.
Tune your violin again.
Tune your violin.
Take a bow.
Tune again.

Haven't heard this in so long. What an absolutely gorgeous, stunning piece.

Such a beautiful piece. There is nothing else like it in the repertoire.
Absolutey fantastic performance!
awesome Alina Pogostkina!!!!!
Holy Scheiße! Great piece and performance!
So, so beautiful.
I was looking for a nice interpretation of this concert and i finally found the one
I read, many years ago, that Berg is the romantic atonalist, and Webern is the classic one. I still agree with this.
Superb
Bravo!
Great performance. She bears a resemblance to Janine Janson.
Wow
I like the way the conductor knocked out some double bass for a lighter rendition.
Bro I’m just doing this for homework
The conductor's body
Someone should make a baroque tuning version of this piece
great performance, but that audience etiquette..

davehshs Thank you for your asinine comment. If you're part of the "shrinking audience", the classical music community is better off.

Danish Ali Thanks for the apology. I can't help but ask why you chose the YT name of Danish Ali.
Because that's my name....lol.
sounds like midi lmao

This is a romantic piece.
Sounds like shes just tuning the violin.
Because berg doesnt compose, he tunes
