Dear Patricia! I´m musician too and at the moment researching on practicing improvisation in different cultures. A came along your website. I´ve heard you some times in performances with contemporary music, which I enjoyed a lot. Do you Practice Improvisation? Did you practice gypsy music as a child and how? If you are interested to answer, I would be very happy. Best wishes for your future! Karen |

Je suis professeur en conservatoire en France et clarinettiste concertiste et tiens a vous féliciter pour votre cd véritable bouffée d'energie et qui dépoussière magnifiquement ces oeuvres du répertoire : enfin un Beethoven fougueux et terrien, un Ravel qui swingue, un Bartok à sonorités authentiques et magnifiques couleurs; l'oeuvre de Fazil est aussi très interessante; les critiques de diapason n'ont rien compris; conserver votre énergie, votre personnalité hors du commun, merde au conformiste et grand merci pour ces éclairages nouveaux; a très bientot en concert: le cd est déja énorme et scéniquement ce doit etre impressionnant ...
Merci, - en effet la critique du diapason a fait mal. Mais j'ai survécu des attaques bien pires. En plus l'auteur de cette critique semble être un chirurgien des intestins. Il me prendrait probablement pas au sérieux si j'oserais critiquer ses opérations... Pat
P.S.Je serai en France en février 2010 (Deux concerts dans le Festival de Fazil Say à Paris, un recital avec Fazil à Brest et un concert en trio au Châtelet) |

Sehr geehrte Frau Kopatchinskaja, ich weiss nicht, ob dies hier der richtige Weg ist, Ihnen etwas mitzuteilen. In Moldawien befindet sich in dem Dorf Viisoara (Raionul Glodeni) eine hervorragende Musikschule für Kinder.Leiterin: Valentina Cebotari. Man braucht dort aber weiter Unterstützung! Als Mitglied von "Apotheker ohne Grenzen" war ich kürzlich in Moldawien, um Krankenhäusern zu helfen. Viele Grüsse, Ursula Wilms
Danke für den Hinweis, ich bin seit gestern mit Terre des Hommes für einige Tage in Moldavien. Patricia K.

We heard Patricia in Haifa, playing Beethoven's violin concerto. It was amazing, stunning, as if God's spirit hovered in the concert hall. Patricia- thank you for a once in a liftime experience!!! |

Hi Patricia: It was great to hear you live and in person at the Concertgebouw last night (I am familiar with your recordings). You played with such searing intensity, and the familiar Beethoven sounded like a completely new work, a daring exploration into the unknown. The encores were just great, including the voice/violin one! Of course the Orchestra was wonderful as well, especially in the Eroica! I'll look for the forthcoming recording. Thanks for a gripping evening. |

Listened to your Beethoven Concerto yesterday in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. I think you gave a virtuosic (is it written that way :-)? ) performance and you made me a happy man. I don't think it was completely Beethoven but i really liked it. Greetings from a happy 26 years old amazed little boy... Pieter-Jan Dear Pieter-Jan,
I am happy if you are happy... But I really took no liberties. The tempo indications are from Beethovens Pupil Cerny who left us exact metronome marks for the piano version of this concerto. Of course its mostly played much slower, but this is wrong. The cadenzas are all from Beethoven, written for his piano version of the concerto and retranscribed by me for violin (including the one with tympani). The dynamics (especially in the slow movement) has many passages in p, pp and ppp. Nobody seems to care to follow these, because the current fashion is a round and fat sound. But this is also wrong. Besides we know that the violinist who commissioned and first performed the piece (Clement) was unable to play loudly. I played some variants which Beethoven left in his original manuscript. Nobody knows by whom and how the printed version was prepared, so we can as well take Beethovens own variants. If you take all this together my interpretation seems to follow the intentions of the composer most closely. Its not my fault if you (and others) are surprised. For more information see my website ->Texts->Beethoven. Cheers Pat |

Dear Miss Kapatchinkskaja, I would like to thank you for the wonderful concert you and the Orchestre des Champs Elysees gave yesterday, at the Concertgebouw in Brugge. I thought I knew the violin Concerto by Beethoven, but you made me listen to it very closely and made me hear a Concerto I had never heard before. |

I grew up with this music but never had any formal lessons. I also never had lessons in improvisation (are lessons in improvisation not a contradiction?). However I had a solid training in violin playing and composition.
I hope that this answers your questions. All the best. Pat
