i was debating between ballet – in celebration of SB’s ballet exam, or violin – in mourning for her giving up. SO i have chosen violin, in the hopes my spare strings will come soon, so that i get practicing!
of course, talent like this is extremely rare [perlman age 13!!!] though, to be fair, i prefer this version.
but that is starting near the end! lets have a bit of the beginning. its good isn’t it!
not the best recording quality, and a short clip, but my heart belongs to menuhin. she how he just flows with the violin, effortless!
a very old recording, i do prefer this more modern version though, the bowing suits me better! much more legato! but i think it doesn’t have the heart of menuhin. [hideous dress though hey!] this has been youtubed weirdly, so it starts with the rather fab first mvt cadenza. however, at about 5 mins is the start of the second mvt [the first and second mvts ‘run together’. this is prob my fav of the youtube offerings, a clear singing violin tone, rubato not overdone, but def emotional!
Enjoy!
