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 just (May 2, 2009) listened to her with Fazıl Say performinf the Kreuzer Sonate. Astonishing performance. The world should be proud to have such young soloists. On my part I felt lucky to be part of the audiance. Congratulations! Candan Azer |

Schostakowitsch lebt ! Nun kennt die Musikwelt eine weitere Aufführung des e-moll Klaviertrios von Schostakowitsch. In Deiner Besetzung mit Sol Gabeta und Fazil Say war in Rotterdam am 26.04. etwas ganz Besonderes zu hören. Als wäre das Stück für Euch geschrieben erlebte das begeisterte Publikum das unverwechselbare Spiel dreier Solisten, vereint, um die Kraft, die Zerissenheit, die Sensibilität, den Zweifel, die Liebe und die Verzweiflung des Komponisten spürbar zu machen. Grandios in dieser Besetzung ! Der atemberaubende Abschluss eines gelungenen Konzertereignisses. Das muss man wiederhören !! Herzliche Grüße Conny & Leo |

Hi Patricia, I've been in the A7 concert that you played last Friday, 24th, in Lisbon.You gave us an speech-played encore. Can you tell me what was it? I didn't understood you at the time. I loved your concert. Thank you. It was the last part of "Crin" a solo work written for my by my friend Jorge Sanchez-Chiong.

On saturday i was in Tonhalle, Zürich and i was sitting on the first row. That was amazing concert. That was my third concert and each time i always say "I am lucky that I am here and can watch the concert" I am not only amazed the way she plays the violin,I have to confess that she has also great heart. she is very friendly, elegant and humble person. She behaved like she is one of friend when i asked her to take a picture. Thanks a lot for your kidness and hope you play MUCH more in Zurich, all the best 4 u. |
