Veo que algunos comentarios no hablan demasiado bien del violinista. Mis conocimientos de la música no llegan a esos extremos pero pienso que es un precioso concierto y que el solista no desdice de la orquesta. En resumen, me encanta.
A fine recording can be found on this cd: "Romantic Violin Concertos" Christina Åstrand, violin, John Storgårds, conductor, Tampere Philharmonic www.dacapo-records.dk/da/recording-romantic-violin-concertos.aspx
Yikes a few of the critiques are brutal for no reason. It’s an Obscure piece and it’s not even a that bad. Y’all giving “you’re not allowed to record until you’re world class”
Gade sent Mendelssohn thee former's 1st symphony and the famous German invited the upstart Dane to hear it played. Later, they each wrote a VC. I have never warmed up to the famous Mendelssohn E minor. I find it, well, prissy! But I find the Gade beautiful and exciting. Shows you, fame doesn't always correlate with enjoyment!
It is a good violin concerto, but it can be played better. I didn't hear enough technical contrasts throughout the piece from the violinist himself, it was mostly the orchestra helping the violinist along.
Another great masterpiece written during the golden age of Romanticism, before the eventual breakdown of harmony and the cold sterile dead end known as Serialism took over.
Is this Henri Vieuxtemps . If it is he was one of the greatest violinist of the last century . His violin concertos were some of the most difficult in the violin literature . I don't think he is playing terrible . sorry
This concerto was written in 1880 and Vieuxtemps died in 1881. He probably never played this concerto. And by the way audirecording started around 30 years later...
patrik muniak While listening to the performance, one gets a sense that certain passages aren't played cleanly, that the sound of the violin is sharp and glaring when the music should have brilliant flashes of light amongst a rich warm, dark background. At times the violin sounds flat also. The fingering isn't the best I've heard, although the violinist does at times play very well. He doesn't seem to have good control of his bowing, as if he strikes the strings rather than caress them. It's a somewhat direct reading I think, and instead of showing individual character, he simply became a direct veacle rather than the driver for the music. It wasnt a bad recording, it was just unremarkable. The final note was a pitiful squeak, instead of a triumphant finish. These opinions are objective, but based on hearing wonderful performers, like Hilary Hahn and Itzahck Pearlman, who have tremendous control and discipline of their insturments. I favor Hahn myself. Listen to some of her recordings and compare the sound of her violin with this one.
+Benjamin G. The great soloist are to busy to record another 1st Bruch, Tsjai, Heetboven, Mozart, Bach, Brahms, etc., but there are more recordings I see: www.muziekweb.nl/Link/U00000600658/CLASSICAL/Concert-voor-viool-en-orkest-op-56-in-d-kl-t For example Anton Kontra or Christiana Anstrad.
I do not know if any of you people play the violin or can sing in tune or not but you may be interested to note - if you go online and search - that Kai Laursen has recorded 26 Danish concerti and so is a very experienced performer. This man's intonation is secure and is technically sound. There is one person on here asking if it is played by Henri Vieuxtemps himself. That is how knowledgeable some of you are.
100crowns: Wow. What a rock solid counter-argument to a critique. Does the stench of the fallacy-farts you emit follow you for long, or do you just emit new ones often enough? If your ear-wax is not caked on too thick, do cop a listen to this awful performance, and wonder: does it take an equally awful violinist to call this recording shit?

why I have I never heard this concerto before? It has all the things including virtuosity and beauty that any more popular concerto has.
Played regularly on UK radio station Classic FM.
This is a terrific and enjoyable concerto!
how have I gone on this long having not heard this piece before?! Thank goodness I happened to catch a bit of it in the car while listening to NPR!
Wonderful concerto. I'll be listening to this often.
Amazing concerto!!!!!!thank you so much for uploading!!!!
Performer: Kai Laursen (Violin)
Conductor: Ole Schmidt

Meget smuk violinkoncert - alt for sjælden spillet i koncertsalene.
I agree with you Troels! This is a very beautiful Violin Concerto! Not much of this Composer is played rather sadly!
It must be revived!

Incredible
did a string break at 3:38?
11:16 mvt 2
17:53 mvt 3

Came here because Yeat said he liked music from the 1880s
this what yeat be listening to in his free time
Hi, could you please tell me who's the violinist and what orchestra is?
Thanks in advance
The game the order 1886 brought me here
Another great masterpiece written during the golden age of Romanticism, before the eventual breakdown of harmony and the cold sterile dead end known as Serialism took over.
I like how it sounds because the recording sounds like my playing style when I play random notes does that make sense?
Is this Henri Vieuxtemps . If it is he was one of the greatest violinist of the last century . His violin concertos were some of the most difficult in the violin literature . I don't think he is playing terrible . sorry
That is quite funny as nobody has ever heard Vieuxtemps play as he died in the 19th century.
This concerto was written in 1880 and Vieuxtemps died in 1881. He probably never played this concerto. And by the way audirecording started around 30 years later...
JAJAJAJ
Beni 2022 de uyandırın
Beautiful piece but it's a shame it wasn't recorded by a better violinist ... Maybe someone else will pick up the piece
Its recorded with a fab danish violinist, Christina Aastrand.
Tony Finley can you tell me why is he bad? I'm not an expert i can't discern the imperfections but i'm curious :)
patrik muniak Out of tune and lack of attention to dynamics - amateurish

His vibrato is weak and he glosses over some notes, too.
Why have the orchestra recorded this beautiful violin concerto with such a bad violinist?
It's just terrible!

Benjamin G. We are looking forward to hearing your interpretation of this concerto

That violinist plays as fuck!
Very out of tune ....
This puts Mendelssohn's ascetic and sterile E min. VC to shame.
A pathetic insult, and terribly wrong.
