Personally I don't think that this version is cold hearted at all...and I'm an American and a HUGE fan of Gershwin. Having heard most of his pieces I have to say that this version does justice to both the original composer's style and virtuosic playing in general!!
The "coldness" is not an expressive quality but a tonal quality which could come from the violin she is playing (different violins have different types of tambres, and although the violinist can to some extent modify his/her tone, the tone of the violin will undoubtedly have an effect upon their playing...which is why violinists have such headaches over choosing violins). I went over the characrer count so I added another comment!!
great fantasy; I think the "cold hearted" bit is coming from the nationality.. Just as a Russian can tell when an American is playing Rachmaninoff, I could tell that this was a russian violinist within the first minute of play
I would say this is a very satisfying version, neatly done. Clean and virtuoso violin playing. Of course, one could wish for more humour in the 'I got plenty' (the banjo pizzes seem to troubled) and 'It ain't necessarily so' (too stiff) themes but overall it comes off well allthough it would be nice to hear this with an artisticly more ripe performer who finds the right caracter all the way not just playing it as a tremendous showpiece. Still thanks for uploading this.
And I have another poin of view. Orchestation is very nice and solo is virtuosic but soulless, cold-hearted and too fast. Vulgar vibrato. No specific ritenutos. 'Dont like it at all.
Fabulous playing!! Flawless intonation!!! Charming, delicate, exquisite... BRAVO!!

I have heard many different violinists...and I would say that her vibrato was anything but vulgar!!
