Aristocratically classical is precisely t he description. Wed 11:24 amThen if you haven't heard Grumiaux you must do so. There are differing styles in that collection but all, for me, have a lucid integrity. Favourites include but are not limited to: I have 36 performances in my catalogue - Lance probably has triple that. He was my father's favourite violinist, and in turn has become mine, though I can safely say I enjoy dozens of accounts of the Beethoven. Then if you haven't heard Grumiaux you must do so.
(Can I say that about Bohemians? I was going to say "gypsy" but thought better of it, given how often the Romani people are maligned.) Emphatic and expressive, played like a Bohemian for those two pieces. Incidentally, I can accept this kind of approach for the Beethoven VC, but I want the very opposite for the Mendelssohn or the Four Seasons, to cite the opposite extreme. Let's see if we get the same from Midori my hopes are high based on past experience.Īlthough I don't have a comprehensive selection of Midori's work in my collection, I have very much enjoyed this recording over the years. Of course, when someone takes a delicate approach, we expect a commensurate increase in intonation, accuracy and subtle expression, an expectation that Ehnes easily exceeds. It sounded fresh and different and very nuanced. I thought similar of Ehnes' recent approach with the Liverpool Philharmonic, but I rather liked it.
my Perlman/Giulini/Philhrmonia, my ideal is aristocratically Classical, but with body and strength, eg my gold standard Heifetz/Munch/BSO.Thanks for the alert as my ears perked up when I heard the radio presenter announce the recording.Her approach I suspect worked better on the cd Romances I did not hear. While I do not enjoy overly Romanticized readings, eg. Heard her new Beethoven VC per local FM radio.You may of course disagree, but I found her sound, attack, approach too thin and delicate, almost pre- Beethoven in some respects, for my taste.
