New Tchaikovsky/Nielsen Violin Concertos -- Vilde Frang

Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

I really like this new release. For me, the Heifetz/Reiner RCA Living Stereo recording of the Tchaikovsky concerto is the reference. Everything just seems right. The Frang recording is the closest to it that I've heard, and I haven't had as much fun with this concerto in a long time. She runs the gamut of emotions and tones -- light as a feather, impish, playful, powerful, emotional. This is a rather fast performance; the way I like it. I think she takes almost all the cuts in the finale that Heifetz does, except for one near the end that makes you sit up and take notice. The orchestra is excellent, and they seem to be on the same page with Ms. Frang throughout the performance. Truly delightful.

I'm not that familiar with the Nielsen, but I intend to listen to it a few more times because I think I'll eventually like it.

The sound is excellent, too.

So does she take the Auer cuts that Heifetz employs? - Chris from Lafayette 14:06:05 06/14/12 (3)
