  • The Menuhin and the Dong Suk Kang recordings notwithstanding, the recent recording of Hilary Hahn, the LSO and Sir Colin Davis is quite good as well.

  • he lost so much weight, i think he need sto buy a new tux.

  • lovely

  • Hahn, Hahn, Hahn.

  • @medmai It's so interesting that you say that. I personally have never been a particular fan of Pinchas Zukerman (who of course is one of the undisputed greats of the past 50 years), however his recording of this concerto with Baremboim (himself an incomparable interpreter of Elgar) is superb. Unfortunately, not many people seem to know it, but you are absolutely right: it is indeed one of the great performances of this masterpiece.

  • the best philarmonic

  • @medmai

    The Menuhin recording of the Elgar (with the LSO and Elgar himself conducting) is legendary. Zukerman is great for what he does, but the emotional stamina required to do this piece justice is something I really can't imagine coming from him. Dong Suk Kang's recording (the one I grew up with) is also absolutely first rate violin playing. Do check it out.

  • Hermosa version

  • What does being Jewish have to do with anything? Thinking in terms of Jew and Christian is divisive in the first place, think on...

  • that is so true!!!!!

  • i thought the exact same thing when i saw him live a few months ago. he looked like some kind of cartoon character.
