  • Le meilleur et "THE Maitre" en son temps.... Merci C.Ferras !

  • everything about his is expressive. a real artist, they dont make these anymore...

  • I never cared much for the Mendelssohn concerto. Thanks to this video with Ferras playing it now I love it. What an emotional and deep sound he has! Thanks so much for uploading!

  • i'm surprised by some of his bowings, but even more surprised because he makes them work so well!

  • This is definately the best performance, I have heard .

  • Absolutely the greatest! Let's just cherish his recordings and his timeless heritage...

  • No words enough to express his art! Tears in my eyes...

  • I too think he is one of the best. He brings out the emotion of the music like no other.

  • Like the one by Max Bruch, one of the most poignant violin concertoes. Played here by one of the finest virtuosi, it washes over you like a wave. Ferras' passing was such a tragic loss to the world. As elcid22 says below, God bless you, Christian.

  • Such a fine example of authority in interpretation here. Ferras never allows himself to be mesmerized and distracted by the mere sound. He was a disciplined and truely noble musician of eloquence and refined taste, so unknown in our time. He leads with the melody as the musical line draws him like a flower is drawn to the spring sunshine as is life itself. Lesser soloists are distracted and meander needlessly and the music dies on the vine. This man understood what ART really is.
