Anyone here because of 2setViolin?😀

I could watch this, 40 hrs a day.

TWOSET - providing finest recommendations since 1880

Amazing. Thx Brett and Eddy from TwoSet Violin for pointing out this performance.

32:47 - I LOVE what’s he’s doing with the sound here. Cutting it off is very impactful. He’s done it a few times. 32:14 is another example. The shift is heard ever so slightly, but very deliberate with the change in dynamics.

All you two setters, give him an extra 100,000!!!

Until you heard many other violinists play this piece, you won't know how good Sergey performance was!

It's truly a tragedy that less than 3k people liked this video T.T and not even 100k have watched this marvelous performance. Wonderful performance by everyone, especially Sergey.

He is undoubtedly the finest interpreter of this concerto I have ever heard.

I consider Khachatryan one of the best current male violinist in every aspect, faultless techniques, deep understanding and fabulous interpretation of the music.

The best interpretation of this concerto. Became even better with years. Hopefully I will be able to visit his live performance one day

an incredible, spiritual, magnificent, combative and disarming music. the greatest thing composed in the 20th century. The little person, full of curiosity and dreams, defies the demon who, with a cold heart and eyes, wants to destroy the living, beautiful, emotional. But love is stronger, the urge to live, the longing for beauty, the incredibleness of creation. I can't hear it without being moved. blossom-tender ! Khachatryan a flow of emotions. Thanks!

BEST INTERPRETATION OF THIS CONCERTO CHECK

Other than Oistrakh, this is my favorite performance of this dark masterpiece. I'd also like to thank Brett and Eddy from TwoSetViolin for directing me to this performance.

A master piece played by one of the very few artists of our time.

That was heavy... especially in this crazy scenario i'm going through here in Brazil. When the passacaglia started I cried so much

I'm absolutely in love with this part on 15:44, this is lit

i can't listen to other performances of this piece because none of them compare to khachatryan's interpretation, especially of the first movement. the amount of emotion he puts into each note is incredible!

Breath-taking performance of a truly great violin concerto, exquisitely nuanced in all its shades of emotion! I am entranced by the splendor of the composition and its extraordinary musical execution by soloist, conductor and orchestra. A gift to humanity, resurrected after its performance had initially been forbidden. The cadenza manifests unique majesty in musicality. Incredible luminosity in violin playing.

I’m ashamed to say I didn’t know Khachatryan, I’m so glad I ran into this video

Thx, Mitja for this sublime masterpiece. And the solist, no doubt, his soul is connected with yours 🙏👏

There's a lovely moment at the end, during the applause, when the camera looks over the shoulder of two members of the violins, and they look at each other and the woman shrugs, as though to say, "We play well, but then there is this."

A brave interpretation of a brave man .. You have to go to a very dark place to understand this piece well and bring the themes and emotions of the piece on stage . I remember once reading something along the lines of : ".. [A poet] is a daring adventurer ; a person who is willing to dive oceans , climb mountains , witness hurricanes and face death in order to uncover the truth in art .."

When I watch Khachatryan playing I feel positively envy and inspired. I just would like to do something in my life with the same passion and involvement as he is always expressing in his performances. Amazing!

Saw it live in the first row! Then again on 2set channel

What an emotional rollercoaster! After going through the ominous feeling of terror, political frenzy, and mournful reflection, I just lost all words for the last chapter other than saying how it made me cry uncontrollably. Esp. as it follows the passacaglia which is filled with not only sadness but also sounds like Shostakovich ruminating over his own role and guilt in all that transpired. No one survives totalitarianism without losing a piece of themselves. Those who hold on to every part are either in jail or lost their lives.

Nothing makes me feel more alive than a Shostakovich Scherzo

He is one of my absolute favorites. Such emotion

Khachataryan my man out here climbing ranks of my favorite soloist so fast

This recording and Oistrakh's recording are by far the best in terms of musical and technical interpretation. The emotions that make up the piece are truly magnificient.

This is the best performance of Shostakovich violin concerto 1. Change my mind.

Боже мой! Нет слов! Играет сам Бог на скрипке!

The blanket of applause and the exhaustion on his face...what a tour de force, exceptional.

Sergey K. hat das richtige feeling für dieses Konzert und bringt was neues rüber, eine große Bandbreite an Assoziationen und es kommt authentisch rüber.

Absolutely love Khachatryans interpretation and the cadenza! Shoutout to TWOSET who recommended it🤩!

I also love him playing Brahms violin concerto! 😁

Shostakovich's music alway remind me of something struggled and painful which I've benn though.

I stop breathing at the end of his Cadenza .... omg his bow hair.

00:00:00 - Nocturne (Moderato - Meno mosso - Tempo I) 00:13:13 - Scherzo (Allegro - Poco più mosso - Allegro - Poco più mosso) 00:19:43 - Passacaglia (Andante) - Cadenza 00:34:13 - Burlesque (Allegro con brio - Presto) 00:38:46 - Applaus

The best rendition out there. Truly amazing playing. So musical and powerful. So well in tune. Such flawless technique. Great performance by all involved. You could see the orchestra members knew something special was happening right in the moment.

Damn that was a smooth transition into the 4th movement

Simply incredible!!! So much of control and musicality from start to finish!! Had me enthralled throughout! Kudos to the amazing soloist, orchestra and conductor!

No player gets short-changed in a Shostakovich work. Every instrument is important.

8:22 i love this bit, it feels so dark, eerie and yet majestically beautiful

To me, this is the best performance of this concerto

That's some tuba power starting at 24:16 giving some backbone to an already mesmerizing performance. Between 28:17 to 29:00 it's almost if the feeling of "Menace" was put into sound. I'm no classical expert, but from the work i heard from Shotstakovitch most give me a sense of gravity coupled to the ineluctability of history that can't be stopped. In addition i think he retranscribes what threat means in music to the omnious level. I came here from twoset violin as well to see the entire piece and it's great, thanks to the orchestra, conductor and Mr Khachatryan.

Its just another level of playing!! Essence of the piece....!

This is the best Shostakovich violin concerto I've ever heard!

Anyone here because Khachatryan is the best violinist in the world?

Shostakovich is here to help you out with the cadenza I was angry and sad, helpless and depressed, and took to wonderful Jewish folk music, when I was writing this 00:00:00 - Nocturne (Moderato - Meno mosso - Tempo I) 00:13:13 - Scherzo (Allegro - Poco più mosso - Allegro - Poco più mosso) 00:19:43 - Passacaglia (Andante) 00:29:06 - Cadenza 00:34:13 - Burlesque (Allegro con brio - Presto) Regards Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich

This randomly popped up for me because of TwoSet Violin :D

Magical. The numerous slow passages were gorgeous and very moving. An extraordinary performance.

I've always wanted to like the violin. And now I do.

Khachatryan interpretation just overwhelms me with tears, especially the 4th movement is just breathtaking. He has found the core of this piece like no other. For example just listen to the part starting at 36:10 and how he waits for the orchestra, and the impact it has, and compare that to any other recording out there. No match.

wow what an amazing performance!! thank you twoset for introducing me to this great music!! and BRAVO to the musicians!!!!!

I can't even remember how many times I watched this video Thank you for sharing the wonderful performance ❤

Besides the dedicatee and editor of this concerto, David Oistrakh, this is one of the finest interpretations of this emotional reflection of the suffering Shostakovich experienced

29:07 - 34:13 Cadenza Best part

36:50, 1st and 2nd flute counting empty measures in the back :D

Bravo! Total admiration

The wonderfulness of his violin performance is an order of magnitude more awesome His splendor of words can not arrive

The intrepretation and emotion is so good like he has been trough everything that shostakovich has been trough

There is no better performance of this amazing work, the outpouring of a tortured and melancholy soul. There are passages where I just gasped in astonishment at the sheer beauty and intensity of this youngster's playing, and the whole section from 21:30 to 34:13 leaves me speechless.

Evidently extraordinary. Certainly one of the best recordings as regards both the exceptional soloist and the fantastic orchestra.

Wow I’m speechless

Cadenza at 29:07 Edit: I'm sorry I actually listed the cadenza previously at 30:28 but it actually occurs earlier as the conductor stops moving the baton at 29:07 and the orchestra stops playing as well there.

You wouldn't even have to listen to the audio to know it's an astounding performance. I could see the cello player behind him nearly broke down and cried during that first movement.

4:19. Just had to put this stamp because of how beautiful this part sounds 😭

outstanding interpretation

I didn't know Shia LeBeaouf was this good at violin

Bravo Sergey!!!

Bravissimo!! Astounding perfomance!

34:00. Der Übergang von Cadenza zum Orchester. Perfekt, nahtlos. Man merkt gar nicht sofort, dass die Cadenza vorbei ist, wenn man die Augen geschlossen hat.

Awesome concerto, Thanks 2 set to show such beautifull stuff

Wooooow esta es la mejor versión que he escuchado, después de le versión de Vadim Repin. El maestro Khachaturyan tiene una técnica increonl, impecable

7:53 the best moment ever.

We are soo proud of you 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲

最高の演奏

Bravo😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

Wunderschön.

WOW! BRAVO!

Bravo

I love this.

My god. The camera spent more time showing random wind players than it did the actual soloist....

Sublime.!!!

БРАВО!!!

Incredibil .

Nulla da dire, bellissimo sotto ogni aspetto

AMAZING!

Truly amazing!

Wonderful!

Fantástico !!! BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

that tuba at 24:19 sounds like a fucking ensemble by itself

Gracias.

of course, whenever I plan on stealing some fingerings, the cameraman cuts to the orchestra 😂

The hacking coughing of the audience in live recordings between movements never fail to make me laugh

toll !

Amazing performance!!! Also does anyone else think he kinda looks like shia labeouf?

Breathtaking
