 | Hilary Hahn ~ Brahms · Stravinsky - Violin Concertos by Johannes Brahms
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.20 With stunning warmth, passion and profound beauty, Hahn brings new life to this warhorse of a Concerto, and presents Brahms as a romanitc. Read my full review if you are still unsure...
|
 | Sibelius/Tchaikovsky: Violinkonzerte
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $3.95 My favorite Sibelius recoding, Shaham's tone and phrasing on this disk are among the best I ever heard. Sibelius was the most romantic Concerto to me.
|
 | Beethoven: Violin Concerto; Bruch: Violin Concerto 1 / Chung, Tennstedt
Buy used from: $7.46 I love this recording of the Beethoven and Bruch Violin Concertos (live), my favorite recordings of both that I have heard. These are both very romantic concertos.
|
 | Bruch: The Complete Violin Concertos
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $10.51 This cd was chosen for the GROSSLY overlooked Concerto No 3, Accardo has a sweet singing tone and tastefull vibrato, I also love his phrasing. All of the concertos by Bruch are soothing and relaxing.
|
 | Bruch: Violin Concerto No. 1; Lalo: Symphonie Espangnole; Vieuxtemps: Violin Concerto No. 5
Buy used from: $6.99 By far, my favorite DelGesu tone ever! I listen to this recording of the Vieuxtemps 5 more than any other, a powerful concerto full of substance with soaring melodies and undeniable virtuosity.
|
 | The Best of Paganini
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $9.92 Szeryng, Grumiaux, and Gitlis! How can you go wrong there? Paganini's music is profound beyond words.
|
 | Favorite Violin Encores
Buy used from: $8.00 Arthur Grumiaux is easily top 5 of all time violinists for his full singing tone, effortless technique, unforced musical interpretations, and the ability to speak with every note.
|
 | Panorama: Virtuoso Violin
Buy used from: $2.95 My favorite recording of the stunning Devil's Trill sonata played by Arthur Grumiaux. Words can not describe the beauty of this music.
|
 | Dvorak: Violin Concerto in A Minor, Op. 53, Romance in F Minor, Op. 11
Buy used from: $1.18 Perlman makes the Dvorak come alive. I love Oistrakh' recording but it's too old sounding, and the Mintz recording is impossible to find.
|
 | Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E minor; Bruch: Violin Concerto #1; Itzhak Perlman by Itzhak Perlman
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $11.32 My favorite Mendelssohn Concerto recording, full of beauty and stinging virtuosity. I liked Szeryng's recording almost as much and the Heiftz recording must also be heard but buy this one first.
|
 | Bach: Double Concerto For Two Violins In D Minor, Violin Concertos Nos. 1 & 2
Buy used from: $5.49 Perlman and Stern play the Bach 1043, some of my favorite music ever. Two wonderful violin tones that compliment each other stunningly well. Get the video if you can.
|
 | Schumann: Violin Concerto in D minor; Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E minor
Buy used from: $88.46 This is an awesome recording of the Schumann concerto. The tone on this CD is especially great as renown violin collector H.Axlerod once said his violin is one of the best concert violins in the world
|
 | Brahms: Violin Sonatas Nos. 1-3
Buy used from: $9.25 Kyung Wha Chung plays a stunningly beautiful performance of the Brahms sonatas, get all the CDs you can find by her.
|
 | Barber: Concerto for violin Op14; Korngold: Much Ado about Nothing Op11
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $4.47 The Korngold has to be the best melody ever written in lydian mode, a fresh sounding work. The third movement of the Barber concerto is totally outrageous! This is my favorite recording of both...
|
 | Bach: Sonatas & Partitas; Itzhak Perlman
Buy used from: $15.85 My favorite recording of the solo Bach. A romantic interpretation with vibrato, if you want a more traditional recording try Szeryng or Milstein, but I like Perlman for this.
|
 | David Oistrakh Plays Violin Sonatas By Prokofiev, K. Khachaturian & Szymanowski
Buy new: $25.98 / Used from: $9.44 There is no better recording of the Prokofiev Sonata 2, a very melodic and important piece of work. The Szymanowski and Khachaturian is refreshingly original material.
|
 | Vivaldi: Four Seasons
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $1.29 I love Zukerman such a unique dark tone he gets from his Del Gesu. I like the 4 Seasons recording with Great Performances on the label edition but I couldnt find that.
|
 | Cesar Franck, Saint-Saëns: Violin Sonatas; Ravel: Tzigane
Buy used from: $8.49 My favorite violin/piano sonata ever has to be the Saint Saens, nothing even came close. Shaham's Strad has some of the most stunning tone I have ever heard.
|
 | Mozart: Violin Concertos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $9.78 Grumiaux was born to play Mozart! I love concertos one and three, the phrasing and tone is nothing short of stunning here, as was the Sinfonia Concertante, like angels singing!
|
 | Lalo: Symphonie Espagnole; Saint-Saëns: Violin Concerto No. 3
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $3.77 I liked Perlman's Saint Seans just a little bit more than Szeryng's. I like Szeryng's Lalo a little more than Perlman's but both are great pieces played wonderfully by both performers.
|
 | Chausson - Symphony, Poeme + Saint-Saens (RCA)
Buy used from: $28.00 Oistrakh is unbelieveable here! The Saint Saens Intro Rondo and Chausson Poeme will take your breath away!
