Saint-Saens violin concerto - 2nd movement

[petrina1022]

To my ear, they represent ecstasy or apotheosis. It gives me chills down my spine.

I like this movement a little slower

[petrina1022]

me too, but the violinist is quite good.  Who is she?

@petrina1022 Silvia Marcovici is perhaps the greatest Romanian violinist since Georges Enescu.

Yeah her vibrato reminds me alot of Oistrahk (sorry if I spelled his name wrong but I'm watching this vid and I don't want to go find the spelling. Does anyone know if she's using all steel strings with the fine tuners on every string?

How do you like her wrist vibrato? I like her tone.

Very nice, even with the random static throughout the recording.
