4.0 out of 5 stars
Worth seeing Ovchinnikov's masterful performance!!, April 24, 2001
This review is from: Tchaikovsky Competition:Violin/Piano [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This 7th of the most influential internatioanl music competition was quite enjoyable, stimulating, for sure! You will see how Sergei Stadler did almost bit Viktoria Mullova, the other violin virtuoso, by dispaying his philosophcally mature contemplation with high-qualitied skills on Tchaikovski Violin concerto No.1. Most of all, you wouldn't pay through your nose for this VHS by merely being amazed with the 2nd winner, Vladimir Ovchinnikov's Tchaikovski Piano concerto No.1. It was a definitely powerful and technical playing with graceful manner so that the great Rachmaninoff 3rd Piano concerto by Peter Donohoe(shared 2nd prize)wasn't even my primary concern! (although sometimes Ovchinnikov lacked intensity) On a bit disappointing account, for such a international competition all over the world, there was not a single performing-scene of 2nd prize winner for Violin and 3rd for piano from Japan. Given that for instance Tomoko Kato's playing Ravel made the laureat look like a violin's embodiment, it was ahamed to unable to see some other great works. By and large, however, it is truly worth getting it in order to at least feel how herculean efforts the classical musicians are demanded to make, they are not "mickeymouse guys" at all. Absolutely not.
