Saying this interpretation is too fast because it's a lullaby and the child wouldn't sleep is like saying a Bach Gigue's interpretation is not good because it's completely rhythmically steady and one couldn't dance on it. Ferras is to die for by the way.
The top joint of the fingers in the left hand is like liquid. Really impressive! This is one of the best vibratos I have heard. He gets a very tender sound that suits this piece well. One wants to cry!
merveilleux Christian Ferras ... je souhaiterais jouer presque aussi bien que vous cela me ravirait l'âme !! ... Vous êtes parti trop tôt ... un tel talent, une telle générosité ... heureusement nous pouvons écouter ceci pour l'éternité ... en ces temps où la médiocrité a pris le pas sur la véritable qualité technique et expressive ... il est intéressant de faire circuler ces vidéos pour que les jeunes voient comment on joue du violon vraiment ....
Thanks so much for uploading. Ferras was a master of great expressiveness with amazing control. By turns quiet and reserved, or, as in the (must hear) finale of the Sibelius VC, frenzied and passionate. He had it all musically, but lost the battle with his depressive demons to suicide aged 49 in 1982. It's a blessing his greatness is available to us today.
My great grand-mother's mother happened to be close friends with Gabriel Fauré. How crazy?😂 I have been playing the violin for 10 years now, and I've never been excellent at it but remiding me of this anecdote really encourages me to keep practicing and letting my heart being moved by pieces like this one. Beautiful interpretation.
Have you ever listened to Maestro Ferras playing Beethoven violin concerto in D?amazing, evocative,unique.Rest in Peace Maestro, and thank you for all the great music you left
marvalous :I wow awesome! the vibrato is great, and i like how every tone is so clear, and he really expresses the feelings of this song great! wow....just : wow ( i'm playing this as well, this really inspired me!) oh and the ossio at the end kicks ass ^^
Infatuated sure, with the playing of Ferras! I am not the only one who commemmorated the 30th anniversary of his death btw, Deutsche Grammophon did also! Sorry to have annoyed you, have a nice evening!
going to have to disagree with you here. if you play the piece too slow you are going to lose the musical line. that is the problem with much of todays playing its too slow and too sentimental. I could fall asleep in many Brahms concerto performances waiting for the music to unfold.
1:38 this change on the f-sharp between two strings is just art
I’m in love with the old school portamento style of shifting. Very slow, schmaltzy shifts a la Heifetz, Kreisler, etc

@user-yk5th2dg9bl envie d un morceau de chocolat ?
Today is the 30th anniversary of Ferras' tragic death. I am feeling grateful for his wonderful musicality! Rest in peace maestro.

Wow yes its crazy. I'm learning this piece for piano but my cousin plays the clarinet instead of the violin.
What a beautiful, shimmering tone
Merci Christian FERRAS

Grande violinista. Um dos maiores do século XX. Com o intérprete do violin concerto de Sibelius ele é inigualável.
Entièrement d'accord avec vous
he has the highest shulder and arm position of all world famus violinists.
I noticed that too, Very high with the bow arm!
Une merveille ❤❤❤❤
Really excellent performance of this piece. The melodies here bring about thoughts of strolling in the simple French countryside. Very peaceful.
Wunderschönes Violinstück - noch wunderschöner gespielt. Ein großer Künstler, tragisch von Depressionen früh in den Freitod gedrängt...
Oh! Those harmonics at the end! Bravo!
truly one of the most beautiful pieces.... really relaxing.....
Fantastico. Che bel suono!
art; takes me to another place just from listening to it.
So beautiful
Increíble
Vibrato on a harmonic, super skillful.
❤
Wonderful composition and performance!
sublime
The violin is treated so tenderly in Ferras’ control. Touching, and tragic. That violin probably misses its master
marvalous :I wow awesome!
the vibrato is great, and i like how every tone is so clear, and he really expresses the feelings of this song great! wow....just : wow
( i'm playing this as well, this really inspired me!)
oh and the ossio at the end kicks ass ^^
Perfect!
Beautiful.
Bellissimo! Ninna nanna
rapide.... mais quelle elegance.. je l aime
its a berceuse but it seems more like a lullaby for a couple, for love, not children necessarily.
Yes,it's a berceuse but we Are not little children to' get asleep
Infatuated sure, with the playing of Ferras! I am not the only one who commemmorated the 30th anniversary of his death btw, Deutsche Grammophon did also! Sorry to have annoyed you, have a nice evening!

Does anyone know the year of this recording? Thanks in advance!
1973.
does anybody know where cristian ferras was?
Как переводится название произведения? Что означает?
And nowadays we have Hillary Hahn and Joshua Bell. It hurts.
Hillary Hanh is incubo
pianist?
C'est Pierre Petit...www.associationferras.com, best regards !
le son est beau mais on a l'impression qu'il est pressé que l'enfant s'endorme...
Never trust a Faure Berceuse that's under 4m 52sec. It's a lullaby, for goodness' sake. What's he trying to to - counteract the camomile?

He has a beautiful sound, but he definately rushes the piece. Too bad.
