from Oannes *

Τα μέρη του σολίστ είχαν θεωρηθεί τόσο δύσκολα, που ο μαέστρος Hans Von Bülov χαρακτήρισε το έργο “Κονσέρτο Εναντίον του Βιολιού”.
Πηγή επιρροής εδώ, το ένα και μοναδικό κονσέρτο που έγραψε για βιολί ο Βeethoven – επίσης κριτικαρισμένο αρχικά, πριν καθιερωθεί σαν ένα από τα ορόσημα του ρεπερτορίου. Το ίδιο ισχύει και για το (μοναδικό επίσης) κονσέρτο του Johannes Brahms.
Ακούμε το Adagio από τον θρυλικό Pinchas Zukerman και την Orchestre De Paris υπο τον Daniel Barenboim.
Ολόκληρο το έργο, στο βίντεο κάτω, από την απίστευτη Hilary Hahn και τον Paavo Järvi.

The soloist’s parts were considered so difficult that conductor Hans Von Bülov called the work “Concerto Against the Violin”.
A source of influence here is the one and only violin concerto Beethoven wrote – also criticized at first, before been established as one of the milestones of the repertoire. The same goes for Johannes Brahms’ concerto, also the only one he wrote.
We listen to Adagio by legendary Pinchas Zukerman and Orchestre De Paris under Daniel Barenboim.
The entire work, in the video below, by the incredible Hilary Hahn and Paavo Järvi.
