One of the greatest performance in music history
He was a maniac. And the audience loved him as long he played like a maniac. But when he became depressive and his fiddle playing became worse, they let him fall
As I said 20+ years ago on UA-cam, (all those original comments having been erased), Ferras played without chin or shoulder rest here, and with more musicality than any other violin soloist of his day. This is an example of one pouring out his soul in full public view. No modern soloist can do this.
Absolutely electrifying!!!! That first movement just had me spellbound. His technique flawless. His passion unsurpassed! Why have I never heard of this artist before?
Sibelius+Ferras+Mehta. A once in a century performance.
This, and the fourth symphony, makes me wonder if Sibelius ever considered suicide. Sadly and ironically, Christian killed himself many years later after this performance.
I beg to differ... THE GREATEST PERFORMANCE in music history is HEIFETZ ofcourse, wherein the second movement is a seduction...a successful one at that! Ferras is interesting and perhaps overly emotional but very good...for GREAT go to THE MASTER... HEIFETZ.
This is the most moving performance I have ever seen by any musician. Bravissimo!
In my opinion....The Best violinist ever.
Such a tragedy to lose him at 49 years of age. Supreme talent.
La version la plus extraordinaire
Years ago, This recording was here for me when nothing else was. So grateful for this being here.
the legendary Ferras, he's THE BEST violinist when performing this violin concerto. The 2nd mvt. is jsut ................... so perfect.
A l'âge de 13 ans, il joue la Symphonie espagnole de Lalo! Que dire de plus? Que de sacrifices pour ce petit enfant d'avoir commencé son violon comme un jeu sur son lit de malade. Pour son malheur, cet enfant grandit trop vite dans ce monde où la rondeur inégalée de sa note dans le monde musical n'a pas trouvé sa place dans cette âme meurtrie. Cette interprétation renvoie aussi à ce concerto prémonitoire (ou programmée, voir vie du compositeur) des deux plus grandes catastrophes du XXème siècle. Souffrance de l'âme et perfection voilà un duo qui interroge nos plus profondes pensées. Christian Ferras fut aussi une étoile filante jamais inégalé tant son jeu embrassa ce que l'homme de l'art peut magnifier de mieux dans ce monde.
Quand je m'interroge, encore, ou quand on me demande quelle est la nature profonde, intime, de l'émotion musicale, je pense inévitablement aux larmes de Christian Ferras à la fin du second mouvement.
Phenomenal, wonderful Ferras !!!! As every truly great, imense, artist sooooo UNIQUE ! We all miss him, I'm sure .... :(
O…h My…God. As soon as the first note is struck, I am goosebumped…and in 🫢 and the conductor and his orchestra are supremely superb in their own rights❤ Praise The Lord
Christian Ferras: A true genius, at work.
es la mejor version de sibelius hasta ahora, no se si fue influenciado por zubin metha, pero desde luego hace magia con el violin, porque no suena igual que los automatas de hoy en dia sin sentido de sentimiento.
