@mrblifil That's a great story--thanks for sharing. Indeed classy. Now I'll share one. After being raked over the coals by critics after his Symphon premiered, he simply said to his family "It sounded exactly as I wished it." Higher being. Hhe hit a home run with this sonata--perhaps the no. 1 favorite of violinists and their accompanists--it displays such a range of moods. Franck was a unusual composer.

immortal melody. one gets the feeling the two instruments are making love harmonically, melodically. quite an analogy, but there it is.

Where is that recorded? I find that this hall fits congenially to Francks music!
-
Marcovici,she is a great musician!
-
wonderful!
-
and such a shame 1/2 of the performers are completely obscured... this amazing piano part is 1/2 of the performance....
-
Both the Violinist and Pianist are outstanding!!!
-
Such unenthusiastic applause... Terrific performance.

wonderful

magnificent, thanks again Noiresprit-my theory re the strings, if I was Irish I'd say the nymphs and fairies gathered together each night and finely wove M's hair and strung and tuned it for her by the morning- giving that unique tone to dazzle us all, :-)
What a wonder. The piano together with the violin romantically with great delicacy and hardness at 4:00.

She's wonderful - such power and feeling - you can tell that she's very close to this piece.
There have been some fine *recordings* of this piece, but the number of great live performances of it is so few. IMHO, the Franck was one of the best things ever written for the violin. Everyone here know who it was written for? It was a wedding present from Franck to the great fiddler Eugene Ysaye.
