Augustin Hadelich talks about 'Echoes of Paris'

Augustin Hadelich talks about 'Echoes of Paris' | Violins | Scoop.it
From www.violinist.com - February 8, 2011 3:25 PM
Today is the official CD release of Augustin Hadelich's new recording, Echoes of Paris, which was released digitally about a month ago.

This was a good excuse to chat with Augustin once again and see how he's doing, now that he has a new recording and a new fiddle. (This fall he returned the Gingold Strad to the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis. He now is using the "Kiesewetter" Stradivari of 1723, through The Stradivari Society.)

Welcome to Marc's violin world

Welcome to Marc's violin world | Violins | Scoop.it
March 14, 2011 2:51 PM

I met violin when I was young. I fall in love. It was not reciprocal - I never was able to play a decent scale. But my love survived.

Violin is ultra simple in concept: no moving pieces, no predefined notes. Yet, it offers infinite possibilities. My violin world is violin across boundaries: across music styles, geographies and times. Enjoy and feel free to suggest.

Alexei Arkhipovsky. Balalaika reinvented.

From www.youtube.com - May 19, 2015 3:23 AM
Marc Rougier's insight:

Only 3 strings!?! And a bit of talent... Awesome.


I like how local, traditional instruments can give birth to universal, modern musics. Listen also to this other piece (less poetic, more energetic).

Leonid Kogan - Sarasate Zigeunerweisen

From www.youtube.com - October 26, 2014 4:38 AM
Marc Rougier's insight:

I love the accuracy of Leonid Kogan's bow strokes. I like his eyes, his concentration; makes me think of an actor. Super dense but also not showing emotion. Great piece too.

Leonardo Da Vinci's Viola Organista is ALIVE!

Leonardo Da Vinci's Viola Organista is ALIVE! | Violins | Scoop.it
From m.theage.com.au - November 19, 2013 12:50 AM
Marc Rougier's insight:

My mind is blown.


The genius of Da Vinci; everybody knows he is a genius, one of the few universally recognized geniuses; yet, are we ready to discover more from him?


The skill, patience and dertermination of this visionary musician who brought Da Vinci's plan to life 500 hundred years later!


And it works! It does sound both weird and nice. Ok the chosen pieces are not all that great, but Marin Marais sounds perfect. This wacky piece of art needs to be seen and heard.


Scooped in Violins because Viola belongs to the family (granted, this viola organista is a fairly remote cousin).

Tchaikovsky : Violin Concerto

From www.youtube.com - September 21, 2013 4:00 PM
Marc Rougier's insight:

This video is 38 minutes long: too much for a post. But Tchaikovsky's concerto deserves it :) Violinist is Sayaka Shoji. I might prefer versions which are a bit more "violent", but this one is full of emotion. And well fimed too.


Via Gregory Herbé


(edited) Here is a take by super master Heifetz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fCuMFGVwhc. And Heifetz being Heifetz, it's 7 minutes shorter. On fire! :)

Thanks! I still prefer Heifetz and Perlman.

Totally agree. I added a link to one of Heifetz performance of same. Thanks Marylene.

Violinist play through his brain surgery

Violinist play through his brain surgery | Violins | Scoop.it
From mobile.theverge.com - August 18, 2014 10:34 PM

Doctors would normally fix a tremor like Roger Frisch’s by keeping him awake during surgery, inserting electrodes deep into his brain until the trembling appeared to stop.

Marc Rougier's insight:

Brain surgery. How to test, real time, that the surgeon is touching the right part of the brain. Impressive.
