For many years my favourite performer for the Sibelius has been Christian Ferras. He has a DG recording with Karajan, and also there is a DVD-Video performance with Mehta. In both, his interpretation is very similar - if you want to experience icy ...

I never was a huge fun of it. It is an OK symphony and my Barbirolli’s play with London pretty much was all that was enough for me. Today my FM again broke my virginity…

Actually, I was reminded of it, and am playing that Sibelius Violin Concerto right now (part of a little lot of Romy-approved records I once stumbled on from an eBay seller). For reasons of redecoration, it's playing through the crappiest little spea...

I have only 3 recordings at the moment.
Sanderling/Berliner SO (1976)
Colin Davis/LSO (2003 live)Saraste/Finnish Radio SO (1995)Sanderling sings well with a broad brush strokes. Davis with dramatic contrast and detailed articuration. Sa...

The Tchaikovsky’s concerto was plays by everyone pretty much. Try Grumiaux, Oistrakh, Francescatti, Milstein, Kogan, Elman, Vengerov… Actually I have one of the performances even with Vladimir Spivakov that actually was surprisingly good. It is...

The last night there was a broadcast of Marek Janowski leading the San-Francisco Symphony with Sarah Chang playing Sibelius’ Violin Concerto. It was interesting performance and also I might not like it as whole but there was something in there. I do ...

From a tape of a live performance radio broadcast, 1943; Unicorn, UNI 107I think I remember another thread with impassioned references to this concerto, but I could not find it. Anyway, I was thinking that perhaps this post should be merged wit...

I never heard Batiashvili before and although I did like how she paled in Boston (let see what she show off today) I would not run to buy her CDs. Nowadays we have a lot of good young violinists and the key is ketch them live at the right event. If w...

I almost pick it up on ebay several times, but the hideous cover work always stopped me from committing to it!OK, Sibelius and Munch were both from Scandinavia, Sibelius from Finland and Munch from Norway, but that's the only connection I can imagine...

FWIW I played violin in the high school orchestra (back of the first violin section) but having no interest in being a musician didn't continue. But I do know something about the instrument and playing it obviously.Anyway, about 6 or 7 years ago resu...

Hi,
Having recently developed a deep interest in Violin Concertos (which might have been triggered by having recently attending a performance of Sibelius VC by Kavacos//Philadelphia/Eschenbach).
I have bought off the shelf performances of a few...

An interesting exercise but I couldn't come up with much top quality winter music in the classical instrumental category. A lot more in pop obviously because of Xmas. I'm sure I'm missing others.Winter Dreams Sym 1 TchaikovskySibelius Sym 4Vivaldi L...

Thanks, Romy!So pure I find I do not resist her at all, so it immediately permeates me. I like what she has to say about the music, as well.It would be interesting to hear how she handles Sibelius.I look forward to spending some time with her.Best r...

I like Bendix' later symphonies but I just wanted to caution that they weren't Brucknerian as the Sym 1 was. His Symphony 4 was written around the time Sibelius was working on his Sym 3 and there is a certain convergence at times. Bendix is the only ...

Well I think she is nordic, so maybe Sibelius is for her, and I agree about all the young performers with the tremendous technique...however she also has a beautiful tone with absolutely no fear in her playing. I find parts of her beethoven violin co...
