Christian Ferras - Brahms Violin Concerto I mvt. (3)

[syanhc]

Thanks so much! Ferras is my favorite violinist pre-Perlman.

No-one comes close to Ferras and the Sibelius - I've had that one two decades and loved it like a dear friend ever since

WHAT A TRUTHFUL MUSICIAN MR FERRAS THANK YOU

Truly my favorite interpretation. Besides he plays the Kreisler cadenza which is my favorite by far. Joachim's cadenza might be the legitimate one according to musicologist nerds but Kreisler's is based on the second theme; this little waltzing and bittersweet tune that everybody goes crazy for! There's also a cadenza by Max Reger (to be found on Bernstein recording with Kremer), it's interesting bu not as good.

@VIOLONISTUL

I think you mean the second mov. of the Sibelius Concerto, where he starts crying towards the end of it...

very touching performance!

@Donluggy no man. I'm sure that it was Brahms in that clip from Mezzo. If I'll find the video I will share it with you. Please do the same, if you find it first :)
