  • Is this Ida Haendel's recording..sounds like it

  • I would say it`s the finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto.

  • I agree with you that the Sibelius Violin Concerto is best. There are many actors available, but look for the old recording from 1965 with Christian Ferras and Berliner with Karajan. That`s still an amazing recording. Believe me - forget the younger onces! Enjoy your listening!

  • I had forgotten about that. Do you think Sibelius wanted to stay with tradition and leave just a single definitive violin concerto, as did Beethoven, Brahms and Tchaikovsky?

  • An interesting note: some of the humoresques were based on ideas for the unfinished second violin concerto.

  • The serenades were composed in 1913, eight years after the final version of the Violin Concerto. Incidentally, another YouTube user, Numboss, is posting the six Humoresques (Opp. 87 & 89) to YouTube. These gems date from 1917 & are among Sibelius' most dazzling pieces for violin & orchestra; sadly, they're rarely heard. The Two Serious Melodies (Cantique & Devotion), Op. 77, are also on YouTube.

  • Were these serenades composed before or after the Violin Concerto? A lot of these two serenades sounds like early attempts at using elements that make Sibelius' Violin Concerto so incredible.

  • sibelius was one of the greatest composer in the world! HIS VIOLIN CONCERTO IS THE BEST

  • May I ask you about the record's date, orchestra and conductor? Thank you.

  • What a lucky break for us that Sibelius never made the grade at conservatory to become a concert violinist. Otherwise, he might have become a professional virtuoso & might never have found the time to compose so many wonderful masterpieces.
