Daniil Trifonov – Bach: Jesus bleibet meine Freude (Arr. Hess) (Live from OPUS Klassik 2021)

Daniil Trifonov received the OPUS Klassik Award for 'Instrumentalist of the Year'.

In the ceremony of OPUS Klassik, Daniil Trifonov played the Bach's famous 'Jesus bleibet meine Freude' (Arr. Hess). “Bach is of course a legend, an icon, a musical brand,” says Trifonov. “History sets him, like many geniuses, on a pedestal – untouchable and unmoving, like a sculpture.” He continues: “We know Bach was a pious man, and that he worked very hard. Yet we also know that Bach was a family man, and that he fell in love (more than once); his music tells us he had a sense of humour, a sense of melancholy, and a sense of pride. He knew how to have fun. There are many indications of a real, personal biography to a composer whose creativity was fired by a passionate soul.”

"Heavenly" BACH very well played.
Thanks for posting it.
For those not familiar with what Trifonov is alluding to in his adress some the secular Cantatas can be an eye and ear opener to Bach´s " passionate soul".
The same music that appears in his Christmas Oratorio also appears in one Cantata with a very different text of how to say yes to LUST!
"Die lüsterne Lust, sag ja, Ja ja ",
Cheers CC

Beethoven: Romance for Violin & Orchestra No. 2 | Renaud Capuçon, Gewandhausorchester & Kurt Masur​

The Romance for Violin and Orchestra No. 2 in F major, Op. 50 is a real treat for the ears. It dates from Beethoven's first period of compositional mastery, which began around 1800. As in Romance for Violin and Orchestra No. 1 in G Major, Op. 40, Beethoven expands the songlike romance tone into a solemn, sublime song scene in which the solo instrument assumes the role of "precentor" and the orchestra the role of "chorus." Violinist Renaud Capuçon demonstrates his entire range of expertise in this 2nd violin romance by Beethoven. He is accompanied by the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra conducted by Kurt Masur. The Romance for Violin and Orchestra No. 2 is part of a concert that took place under the motto '20 Years Since the Peaceful Revolution' on October 9, 2009 in the Nikolaikirche in Leipzig. The concert was in commemoration of October 9, 1989, when more than 70,000 people gathered in the second largest city of the former GDR to demonstrate for democracy and freedom. Kurt Masur, who conducted a concert with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra at the time, was among those who called on demonstrators to remain non-violent. Born in Chambéry, France, in 1976, Renaud Capuçon is famous for his well-balanced, distinctly sonorous violin playing. His violin, a Guarneri del Gesù Panette from 1737, was played for many years by Isaac Stern. Capuçon has made a name for himself as a soloist, recitalist and chamber musician, working with the world's most prestigious orchestras and conductors. The French star violinist's broad repertoire ranges from classical to modern music to the great works of film music.

Beautiful concert yesterday in Madrid, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin (RSB) conducted by Vladimir Jurowski performed:
Mozart Overture Don Giovanni,
Brahms Violin concerto with the great Leonidas Kavakos
Finally, Schubert’s Great symphony num 9

The concert was excellent. A bit too long, the original program was without the Overture. Truth is the other two pieces, two heavyweights, are more than enough for a good concert. The orquestra, yet another excellent German orquestra, warmed up the atmosphere with Mozart.
Brahms’ s concerto was the part for Kavakos to shine. He is an sensitive performer with impecable technique. Some parts of his performance were really moving and spectacular.
Finally, the orquestra really shined with Schubert, what a beautiful and powerful symphony!
Kavakos also gave a beautiful encore, something like this video.

Leonidas Kavakos - Bach: Partita for Solo Violin No. 3​
