Thank you again Tiny Desk for including fabulous contemporary chamber music composers and performers! This was sublime!!

I saw them a few weeks ago at the Kennedy Center. I bought tickets with no knowledge of either artist as I was in town for a few hours and looking for an affordable performance to indulge in. I was bowled over by their music, their performance. They explained that they had just recorded a Tiny Desk and I was excited to be able to look forward to share my excitement at the beautiful and transportive music with friends. The set I saw included more of Missy Mazzoli's keyboard and electronic music so I will look forward to learning more about both of their creations.

What a lovely surprise of a show that must have been! ❤😮

wonderful peformance, many thanks for great morning inspiration! Music matters!!

I'm not at all familiar with contemporary classical music. This was eye-opening (ear-opening?). That just by subscribing to this channel I know I'll be exposed to a wide spectrum of musicians and musical styles/genres is one of the great things about it. Thanks Tiny Desk!

Good morning to everyone here in Brazil! I loved this presentation, Congratulations.

That just took me for a ride😮❤

I didn’t know I needed to cry, thank you for letting me let it all out to your beautiful masterpiece of artwork. 🙏🏼 🎻 ❤ Bravo 👏🏼

Fantastic work, Missy! And I love how when you entered, you put your hands together in reverence. Galak Tika at heart! ❤️

This is the kind of performance that just takes my mind to different places and emotions. Amazing!

Brilliant!! I love her Bach & Beyond albums.

Nice🎉... Good vibes from México ❤

dissolve o my heart is one of my favourite pieces written for solo violin ever

Thanks! 😎🙂

Absolutely phenomonal pieces, played brilliantly! 🫶 Edit: 9:27 “Dissolve, Oh My Heart” 🥲

That last piece was wonderful.

Excellent!

Kinski Paganini IS SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN BEFORE.... PHENOMENAL, MAGESTIC, ONE OF A KIND!

Jennifer has unusual violin technique - she reminds me of a guitarist playing in open tuning with a lot of double stops, which is usually more of a rock and blues technique - perhaps partly due to the way Missy writes. Some of her playing is surprisingly violent to the instrument as well, which is refreshing to see as a lot of violinists baby theirs too much. All interesting and convention challenging stuff.

Oooh here early. I jave no idea who this is but great vibes already

Is she one of those child prodigy violinists that was on the Tonight Show in the late 80s?

Open D open G and Bartoks infinite tonality.

James Jameson used one finger

Talking about "beautiful ink on Mazzoli‘s arm" and "sleeveless leather dress" is an unusual choice to open the description for a classical performance

Sometimes people remark on things in the video, and sometimes those remarks aren't limited to praise for the primary subject. There's no intellectual superiority to be gained from this attitude. No one experiences anything in isolation, an idea that Elliott Carter even incorporated into his compositions. Also, a performer doesn't wear unusual or outlandish clothes for a performance just to scold everybody for noticing them. The whole performance is the whole performance.

It sounded like... Noise

I’m no expert in playing instruments and I haven’t touched a violin since the 4th grade… but um, is she doing that right?

"Thankfully, few no longer believe that playing classical music requires an evening gown or a tux."? Who is writing this copy? You meant to write "many no longer..." And why 'Thankfully'? Is formal wear a problem if someone likes it? Here, let me fix this: "Classical music no longer requires an evening gown or a tux, as artists Jennifer Koh and Missy Mazzoli demonstrate."

But what does it mean

Skill issue

Me parece música sicopática, ya que tiene sonidos extremistas, no expresa más que disonancia o caos, distorsión; suena básico y desagradable, con falta de creatividad, etc. Lo otro sicopático es el look, ya que se tiñe el pelo, es decir, no respeta la naturaleza, su naturaleza propia y, como es obvio, tampoco la de su entorno, por los sonidos o ruidos (y eso que a mi tampoco me gusta la música "fifi" o "floripondia" o como se le quiera decir, pero sí me gusta que sea creativa, hermosa, interesante, etc.). Lo del vestido, si es de cuero, da para debatirlo largamente.

You’re gonna get ads on every KZread video. Why complain to NPR specifically? They have no control over the ads KZread puts on the videos. You can get ad blocker, or you could pony up & get the ad free KZread. I think it’s 6/7 bucks a month. This isn’t NPR’s issue though.

Adblockers are free and have existed for two decades, i havent seen a single ad on youtube or anywhere else on the internet since 2007. If you're serious about wanting to live without ads in your space, why are you complaining instead of taking the half minute i'll take you to download and install an adblocker and get rid of them forever ? Entitlement wont help you, grow up, Jeff. So that you can act and realise i'm not just mcritical for the sake of it, i recommend using a combination of adblock+ and ublock origin together for the best adfree experience, wheter you are browsing on chrome or firefox they exist for both and are compatible.

I really enjoyed procession ascending very haunting sounding but I think the atmosphere and tension would have ascended better if the keyboard was louder

I have fancy headphones…..the keyboard sound was very unique and totally blended with the violin in a very interesting way. You may want to upgrade your audio equipment if you can afford it or at least use headphones when watching KZread.
