Strong rapport, with Mi'lady setting a lively pace. Her artistry improves the more one listens and sees, thanks to our provider, Noirsprit, what a Blessing they are. Not forgetting iPod Touch and the industry behind it. All the misery going on in the world is forgotten whilst our souls are replenished by this Beauty of sound. Many thanks.
It is lovely, indeed. I remember a recording by Swedish pianist Gustav Asplund and violinist Lucien Savin, that was just as good -if not slightly better. Unfortunately it seems to be impossible to get hold of a copy of that LP.
BEAUtiful. One of the best recordings of it I have ever heard - maybe the best. Silvia's radiant, robust tone is perfectly suited to the Faure Sonata. I just wish she'd record these for some record label - you know there are only two recordings out there of hers - the Sibelius and the Beethoven sonatas...why doesn't some record label sign her?!! I don't get it! Instead we have to resort to YouTube to hear her? She mostly performs in Europe, no help to us who live elsewhere in the world.
Yes, she is a unique talent. She is also a professor - I wish I could study with her. I'm sure she is an outstanding teacher. I hope she is still concertizing in the USA.
Hi theoceanave! I assure you that Silvia Marcovici is a great violinist, but unfortunately I was her student for a year and I would not advise it. Good luck!
Hi geaviolin, yeah she's a great fiddler...but she is not a household name, except maybe amongst violin geeks like us. So she isn't a good teacher then? That's is too bad but it doesn't surprise me. I'm sure she has a lot to offer, but not every great performer is a great teacher.
This is Sonata No. 1. I hadn't heard of Fauré a couple of months ago and now he is one of my favorites. I got a CD of this played by Grimaux on a whim. Wow! This sonata is really one of the best I've ever heard. Terribly romantic, over the top emotionally, but really outstanding. Beautifully played here -- too bad about the sound quality, but the emotional content comes through. Bravo!
Great performance!

Hello! You can get that recording at OPUS 3 (Bo Hanssons company) . And I agree, my fathers recording with Gustav Asplund is slightly better :)

you are so right...she is a goddess of the violin...never getting the way of the music. Her phrasing is so poised, balanced, soaring and intimate!
