Customer Reviews of Violin Concertos
Tchaik/Sibelius Beautifully played by Heifetz, these concertos are among the most well known for the violin. The Tchaikovsky concerto is definitely worth the money alone, and the Sibelius concerto is a keeper. Wieniawksi's concerto is also very beautifully played, this cd definitely worth the six bucks.
Tchaikovsky would be worth the price on his own
With arguably the greatest violinist ever born, and certainly one of the finest violin concertos in Tchaivovsky's, the listener is assured magic. The second movement is absoloutely to die for, but the third takes a while to live up to the expectations you have by then. The Wieniawski concerto is moody and interpreted well, and Sibelius' violin concerto is also magnificent. But Tchaikovsky steals the show for me, hands down.
As for the sound quality, it has that authentic, cosy glow to it that you only get with older records, and the slight fuzz is forgotten during the music playing.
Dissapointing...
Despite all that is said about Heifitz, I find his recordings rather dissapointing.I couldn't care less if a violinist can play a difficult excercise; all I care is that they can record nicely. Perhaps Heifitz should have put more time into tone and interpretation instead of becoming a technical grand-master. The tone in these concertos is dry and bland; lacking the juice and flare that other artist today now have. No character seems to come out in his recordings, either. It seems like some sort of robot playing. It seem to be backed up with little intelligence or soul.
All of this is amplified by the fact that the recording quality is poor. Perhaps he would have been better live...
Try Midori or Bell for the Sibelius, Bell for the Tchaikovsky, and Vengerov, Midori, or Bell for the Wieniawski.
