Wunderbar!
Allein die brutale Werbeunterbrechung ist ein Ausbund an Kulturlosigkeit.

Eine großartige hörenswerte kadenz—ich bin begeistert!!
Auch über den Mut von Frau eberle !

[mauricedecoulon]

Doch, doch, absolut passende sensationelle Kadenz, meisterhaft gespielt von einer Geigerin, die ich noch gar nicht auf dem Schirm hatte! Und das fein abgestimmte Orchesterinstrument mit dem kongenialen Sir Simon. Ein absolutes Leckerbissen! Gratulation!

The wonderfulness and gracefulness and Beauty of her performance are out of this world, and beyond description

[fjarce]

Beautiful and risky to play such an iconic piece like that. Bravo

To all the people criticizing this interpretation and the cadenzas: All within your rights, I won't argue that. But I for one, will take any attempt at freshness, at newness, even dissonance.... because to me it's exciting and if I want to hear the same interpretations and cadenzas I'll go to the other 10, 000 concerts or recordings that do that.
My ears, for one, thirst for anything new. And would Beethoven cringe? I can't believe he's so precious that he would really care if people took massive leaps at an occasional concert. Life's not so serious y'all. Go with the flow, let art, even interpretive art, gods' sake, more of this pleasse!

[philtatarowicz]

Expertly done and provocative. For me, these unorthodox cadenzas crack open the time capsule and contribute the laudatory approbations and accolades of reflective music and experiences of different places and/or times, among other things. All has its place … and time. Bravo!

Surprises aside, the soloist, the conductor, and the orchestra delivered a superb concert. I enjoyed the surprises. I thought I was going to hear another of the same traditional concert. I really liked it because the surprises were in very good taste. We cannot change the notes that Beethoven wrote, but the cadence, why not? No one can stand hearing the same thing every day, let alone for 2 centuries. Beethoven was a bold man and musician, he would certainly support it .

It is such a joy to watch sir
Simon Rattle conducting, very beautiful and excelent the violin.Thanks.

BRAVO!!! Ein dreifaches Bravo für Frau Eberle und das Orchester unter Sir Simon Rattle zu dieser phantastischen Aufführung. Und was ist es für eine Wohltat, das Beethovensche Violinkonzert endlich mal wieder ohne die Kreisler-Cadenzas hören zu dürfen. Die Widmannschen Cadenzas sind exorbitant gut und eine 4-min-Cadenza im Larghetto ist ohnehin eine Novität.
Herzlichen Dank an alle Mitwirkenden.

[atahanuz]

Haters gonna hate... This is the best Beethoven VC recording of all time. The cadenzas are insanely epic and fun!

[pascallaugier]

Très beau violon quelle belle âme bravo l'artiste

[coronet]

Fabulous cadenza - I really mean it ! If you always want favorite concertos played the same favorite way, listen to your favorite record instead… If any concerto suits for taking this kind of liberties it’s this. Great job Eberle ! And listen to the piano version too. Nino Gvetadze highly recommnded.

[conallgeneral]

Bravo 🎉! A refreshing release from the straitjacket of conformity- stimulating and challenging even though it is still only practiced spontaneity, it opens the door to so many possibilities.

[paulchou]

You have to have ears to play those cadenzas :-) Bravo!
Many thanks for uploading!

[Lane-ylsk]

37:00 cant imagine how beautiful a duet/cadenza in the middle of one of the best vc's in history coulda been before i listened to this

[brianlisus]

A welcome surprise, so refreshing and such beautiful playing!

[gezajoo]

Mein Gott Veronika, Sie spielen grossartig!

[Tesserae]

Wow. That cadenza! It evoked Paganini, Sarasate and some jazz. I don’t know if I would have enjoyed the performance if it was an audio recording only. Seeing the soloist perform helped me appreciate it more. I feel this one more technically demanding that the usual cadenza. Maybe this variation should be nicknamed “credenza”.

[natalya]

I' l be on board with that.
Thank you from Miscow.
