In my opinion this is the most perfect performance I have ever seen and heard of what I consider Mozart's most mystical and mysterious creation. If I had to choose just one composition, I think this is the most astonishing piece of classical music ever written. The simplicity and repetition is miraculous in it's simplicity. Only a genius like Mozart could open the door to mysteries like these with such ease and grace. To me it tells a profound tale of suffering, mystery, hope and forgiveness. I understand Mozart wrote it at the time his mother died in Paris. Maybe that explains it's depth. Vengerov and Power are the perfect match to carry on Mozart's legacy.
It’s beyond words this music and immediately shows us another side to the depth of Mozart. At least, the ability to express something that perhaps is an emotion we had felt or knew the possibility of its existence. Love, or the failure of love. There’s few times we will witness the manifestation of it in art in a similar way and that is why Mozart holds his place in our history.
Your comment is so touching, and this is music, composed by a shining genius, is so utterly lovely and beautiful. And I believe that you would even more enjoy this version: * Mozart - Sinfonia conertante - Oistrakh/Oistrakh/Vienna (incontrario motu). In my opinion the very best one; David Oistrakh on alto, also conducting the orchestra, and his son Igor on violin. Especially this Andante is special and unlike all others. For instance: the hesitating thoughtfulness, giving time for the players to make each and every note meaningful. David Oistrakh's tone is warm, tender and so comforting. What more: in the orchestras three fortissimos he accentuates the violins, leaving cellos and bass to a lesser role. This results in majestetic, powerful and unbroken phrases. Although Maxim Vengerov is an expert on Mozart, this version with him is only fine (not great) and played with energy, also by the alto soloist. Somehow I don't really like his sudden changes into pianissimos, it's creating restlessness. I believe that Mozart had intended the Andante to have the profound peace like in the Oistrakh-version, where David Oistrakh saves the energy for the glorious first and third parts. The whole concerto is one of my absolute favourites, and played with humanity and a warm heart. As the Vengerov-version ends before the cadence and the orchestra's finale, it leaves me wondering how they sound.
@stockcar5472 I absolutely agree with you. 1:02 - 1:58 is so exquiste that it is almost impossible to resist the tears. Mozart! Thank God for Wolfgang!
Los conciertos anteriores a Mozart poco a poco los concertinos disminuían hasta llegar a ste conciertopara solo dos solistas, violin y viola, para estos dos solistas el momento sublime es al final de este movimiento en que selucen con un virtuosismo genial, la orquesta para totalmente para que puedan interpretar lo que se viene en llamar una CADENZA, que se situa entre una gran pausa y la última cadencia de la obra y lo más conmovedor es que no es una simple CADENZA sino una música genial y muy conmovedora. Y en el futuro los conciertos serán para un solista solo.Concierto para Violin piano ect.hasta llegar a que la orquesta solo sirva para acompañar a los solistas.
the qay mozart wrote it two wre sort of pitted at each other but in fri endly duel not an idiot idea at all as some music teachers have stressed the sort of duel between violin and viola all very friendly and very lush so do not call me an idiot for just repeating what a reknowned instructor said about mozarts concertate sinfonia its really gorgoues
You think? And what is so great about it? I can't understand they phrasing. It doesn't tell me anything only that they trying to do some dynamic. Very straight forward dynamic. Violist obviously trying impress audience and don't care about his partner, but his bow stroke (especially up-up-up) are very student-ish and totally meaningless. So I don't see any great performance here. Sold - yes.

Power has an incredible sound!
this is such a beautiful mvt. i love how the viola consoles the violin, it seems like vengerov is playing with a giant though haha
Yes, sorry to turn this into a competition, but Mr. Power wins hands down in the sheer beauty of his playing......
Definitely the best Mozart piece.
Haha, I really love both Vengerov's and Power's facial expressions. Enjoyable to watch, and even more to listen to!

Great piece of music Power and Vengrov are magnificent together.
they both are very good , no competition please
Breathtakingly, achingly beautiful.
Ravishingly beautiful viola playing......
How can anybody say one of the most inspirates pieces by Mozart is not interesting?
from 1:48 to 2:04 is angelical music
A devinely beautiful mvt. This would certainly accompany me on a desert island.
@stockcar5472 I absolutely agree with you. 1:02 - 1:58 is so exquiste that it is almost impossible to resist the tears. Mozart! Thank God for Wolfgang!
Beautiful how the viola and violin play with eachother.
so classic... so modern... thank you for this video
THAT'S it is MUSIC !!!

Beautiful playing. Excellent tempo and concception. Bravissimo!
altist prosto genialen ,..bravo
i am a huge maxim vengerov fan
but at this moment i have to to say the Power's performance is much better
Adoroooooooooooooooo!!!!
I LOVE IT.
underrated
this is rather a stunning thing to watch. indeed.
I LOVE Mr. Power!!! HE IS SO AMAZING! Yuri Bashmet has some competition.
no words to describe this
you can really see that vengerov gives the violist power.
Someone (not me..) called this Mozart for grownups...but perhaps everything from K271 onward could also be included in this description.
listened to yuri bashmet and sophie anne mutter play it? (its not on youtube, but the cd is brilliant!)
complimenti.
alt bravissimo
this is a real human soul lecture.
Awesome...no words explain this celestial masterpiece
Would love to hear the rest of the movement very much, why is it flagged?
prachtige muziek
I wonder if Mozart really exists....too good to be true
Power: Nomen omen ❤
I was thinking the same thing, but up close they look like Evah Perazzi. It could be the recording quality.
Michel Legrand - Les Moulins De Mon Coeur
Where did 2b go? I need to see them play the cadenza!!
Where is the second part?
@travattore the 10 grandsons disliked it but in secret they added the videos as favorites it on their youtube accounts
the qay mozart wrote it two wre sort of pitted at each other but in fri endly duel not an idiot idea at all as some music teachers have stressed the sort of duel between violin and viola all very friendly and very lush so do not call me an idiot
for just repeating what a reknowned instructor said about mozarts concertate sinfonia its really gorgoues
It seem the violist uses gut-core string.
As if the Shandler's list song is inspired by this mvt...
I simply can join the opinion of John Nez
through some of this, they sound like the are fighting. :(
I love this music but OMG I can't help myself from laughing from their faces
A good Mozart / Tchajkovsky
no offence to lawrence power but he looks funny
oh my god. Is not my fault, i just feel vengerov looks so stupid..
Какой кошмар,,, САМОДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТЬ

Lmfao pause at 1:12
I think we can all agree that Soprano is way better than Tenor.
bolujem jaa ...
I LOVE IT.
