il a vendu l'un pour acheter l'autre apparament le dernier en sa possession serait le milanolo, on ne trouve pas grand chose sur "le president"
-
le « Milanollo » ayant appartenu à Jean-Baptiste Viotti, à Paganini, puis après à Milanolo et ensuite à Christian Ferras, acquis en 1991 par Pierre Amoyal[

wish the recording was better, but great rendition
-
Ferras played the "Milanollo" Strad and the Prasident Strad. Anyone know if he's playing one of those here?
-
It's been a while since I've been genuinely and thoroughly touched by a (to me) new violin performance. It happened just now:)
-
It's a damn shame that this was recorded in a sterile TV studio. It really lacks the acoustic of a concert hall to draw you into the violin sound after those dramatic phrases in the cadenza. Superb performance!
-
Magnificent, unique violinism. Pianist really has a hard time, poor Guy Bourasson. Bravo Ferras!
-
@mizzothify Yeah, the pianist didnt seem to know his part that well, even though he seemed to play from memory lol

I love Ferras, but the pianist can't play ist solo at 5:33!
Free, Ferras is the perfection of intellectual and emotional focus in performance. He rarely allows his internal energy/intention to go anywhere but directly through the violin. Little hints occasionally escape through his face, but only rarely. Never a vulgar display like Vengerovs visual dissipations; nor sterile like Heifetz. Ferras was on fire internally, and he channeled it with perfectly measured discipline in total service of the music. Ferras is criminally under appreciated.

Very interesting, thoughtful comments here. "Mania" is the perfect word for Ferras.
Hell, the pianist almost beats him to the end! Does anyone know if Ferras played with this pianist regularly? He doesn't seem to know his part all that well.........
I too enjoy the violin/piano version more.
