15 Unforgettable Violin Pieces ~ With Exceptional Performances

Just mind-mindbogglingly wonderful. I enjoyed every single one of these. There is nothing as pure as piano and violin. Classical music will always be.

I think Lark Ascending should be listed in.

Schubert fantasie in c is the king

I’ve never seen a pianist accompanying an instrument without sheet music 😮 like in the Ravel

Melhor seria impossivel, simplesmente maravilhosa...

about 3 minutes into the third of Strauss's Four Last Songs is a violin solo that is simply transcendent

some of those players are not human, they are some kind of new robot plugged into a database, that streams into them digital bits in order to play as they do

Россыпь бриллиантов...

I hear this was played in the White House after Hillary lost

I love Kyunghwa's Franck sonata.

Che bella musica :-)

Love u

Tribulations will come but GODS light will always sustain providing a metaphoric place for your soul to refuge. GOD is Good 🙏.!l

bullshit

What is obvious is that the level has declined with each passing year. Heiftez--the pinnacle, then Oistrakh ...........................and then the rest...

If only i didn't pawn my violin for $100 worth of crack when i was 11 years old

Sarah Chang's Meditation from Thais is perhaps my favorite version!

What’s the name of the 13th piece?

I want to learn violin but all my friends see it as a woman’s instrument

Tzigane makes me dance

The woman is at 2x speed

These inspirational performances invite me into the wonderful world of comfort

Conspicuously missing: Erbarme dich, St Matthew Passion

מאחר ששום קטע לא נוגן במלואו, הרי שהעלאת קטעים קצרים מתוך קונצ'רטי לא היתה, בהכרח, מאריכה את הסרטון. ציפיתי ל64 של מנדלסון ול1042 של באך, כמו גם לסובניר של דרדלה.

What a nice collection. Now a though and a nagging question that maybe those here might be able to answer.
RE: Thought: Considering the "rules" of who has to memorize, the solo piano and solo violin are the two. I wonder if it is a convention that the piano accompaniment must use sheet music so as not to "upstage" the violin? And the irony of that one is in the case of Yuja whom might be the most likely to memorize her part, they both used sheet music which I thought was wonderful in a Maria Pires keeping it "festival" sort of way.
RE: Nagging Question: For years now, I've been trying to find the movie with the spectacular violin virtuoso chasing a love interest around in a restaurant. The violinist might have been a chef or a waiter I seem to recall wearing the white shirt uniform (NOTE: but please bear with me, my memory is atrocious an what I "recall" could be complete nonsense. But the chasing her around is for real-zees!)
AGAIN, thanks for the collection.

She is so beautiful

I played Monti two years ago and still love it

Oh waow🙉

I would like to know first one name......,

You included Salut d' Amour. Its my favorite piece ever

If I had this skill, I would 99% of the time get all the BITCHES

Thanks! great list

Is it me or does the Saint-Saens sound a lot like Carmen Fantasy?

cries in violin

Here for number 3! Heard this on classic fm about 12 years ago - best violin song ever imo.

13 shigatsu wa kimi no uso

Extraordinary moments... Special and Different... PERFECT... Divine... Violin and Violinist... the IMMORTAL... the Best... Bravo and Bravisimo...

Superb with a dissent. #1 Nathan Milstein - violin, Georges Pludermacher - piano, Beethoven - Violin Sonata Opus 47 No. 9 ("Kreutzer Sonata")

Humans are a piece of work. Crazy skills on display here.

wheres ysaye ballade played by vengerov
go check it outm, its actually amazing

Tzigane. Listen to Heifetz playing it. I'm not a fan across the board fan, but he's the only one who can REALLY play it.

Thank you for putting these exceptional pieces and performances together …. it was so exciting, I could barely contain myself.
