In Reply to: Pike? Suwanai or Yoo? Sibelius Violin Concerto Releases by the Cupload.... posted by jdaniel@jps.net on September 23, 2016 at 07:40:30:
Sibelius described his Violin Concerto as "a drink of cold water." Mullova's recording has been called icy cold -- the epitome of nordic sensibility. And yet, as we all know, there is passion in the heart of the music of Sibelius. Who captured the romantic heart of the Sibelius Violin Concerto better than Ferras, who can be seen in a YouTube clip playing the 2nd movement with tears in his eyes? But my favorite recording, beginning to end, is Dylana Jenson. Not super slick nifty high rez, I'm afraid. Nor is the historic recording of Neveu, who was famous for the piece.On my deathbed, I will not once think "I sure wish I had heard more super duper high rez recordings of Sibelius" (or any other great work). I will, however, feel great appreciation and give my dying thanks for the amazing artistry of Jenson and Neveu and Mullova and Ferras for their inspired renderings of Sibelius, each telling a different story from the score.
I have more than 30 recordings of this piece. The only recording since the ones I've mentioned that comes close to having anything insightful to say about this VC is Lisa Batiashvili. She has a new recording of this concerto due to be released in the next month or so. Which I will want to hear. NOT because of some fixation on high rez, as I really don't give a crap about that. But I am interested in her insights into the music.
