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.

Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Romanze mit traumhaft schönem Ton der unvergleichlichen Solovioline sowie zurückgehaltenen doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der intelligente und ebenso unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im angemessenen Tempo und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Wundervoll von A bis Z!

[stephenvanas]

This is my favourite of the Romances. The soloist renders an excellent, sensitive interpretation and the tone produced is exceptional.

Listened first on Shorts but, of course, wanted to listen to the full one.

Brilliantly played by violin virtuoso Remaud Capucon with the orchestra.

Thank you.

Müzik insanları tanımlar, herkes her müziği dinleyemez, yani insanların müzik zevki sıvı değildir her ezginin şeklini almaz•Ve müzik eserleri düşünmenin en yetkin göstergelerinden biridir•
Beethoven gibi bir dehanın eserlerini dinlemek çok farklı bir dünyanın kapısından içeri girebilmektir, sadece sizin bahçeniz olan•❤️👏

[joseburbujas]

Qué suave este romance siendo Beethoven tan enérgico tan estruendoso tan de tonos altos
