I grew up listening to this recording (I am 65). It was apart of my father's collection. No other recording or performance can match the passion, the colors and the timing of this performance.
This is truly one of the glories of the repertoire, and the sublime phrasing and pacing is just luscious. I was privileged to hear Perlman, live, perform this in Albuquerque in 1967, but while he was wonderful, it just did not have the grace and also the real pizzazz of this performance. He is too often overlooked; the technique of Heifetz, the warmth of Kreisler and even the schmaltz of Elman.He left us far too young.
I grew up with this recording on vinyl and literally wore it out listening to it. Ferras is one of the main reasons I was never a huge Heifetz fan although I always greatly admired Heifetz's technique and do love a few of his recordings. But Ferras' musicality spoiled me for anything less. His playing is so "operatic"! He sings every phrase! He has style and grace and always gives 150% as if his very life depended on the integrity of the music. Nothing is "thrown away" musically. Just listen to the way he phrases the false harmonics and subsequent phrase before the recap in the last movement. He injects so much music into it. OH hell! the whole this is just purely musical from start to finish.
I decided to listen to this recording based on what you wrote. I must say that I am disappointed. I think he wasted a lot of good phrases trying to give his own flavor. Trying too hard, he messed up the tempo in a LOT of times too. Heifetz's recording really is one of the best recordings, but the crown goes to Spivakov for me. Maybe you should consider my recommendation this time and check it out. :) Thanks.
I've never read a comment so exactly matching my own thoughts (including how you wore out the LP; only difference is mine was a cassette, but EXACTLY the same in ABSOLUTELY every other respect. Could have written this entire comment exactly verbatim except "LP"), to a word.
@@munciyekahir1043 только не Спиваков! Пожалуйста! Простите меня за вмешательство, но это искренне и с большим убеждением. Я в прошлом поклонница, даже фанатка Спивакова. Но с появлением интернета, открывая для себя другие имена-легенды, Спиваков даже не поблек, исчез. Столько лет потеряно.
Ferras struggled with severe lifelong depression, which was the same mood of tchaikovisky while composing this master piece , RIP Christian , he did the best rendition Ever !!
I heard this one for the first time in '70 and went and bought the record. I've listened to a lot of interpretations by other violinists, but none of them caught me as Ferras did, and some didn't even come close. Like a lot of you I completely ruined the record by overplaying it, and was glad the CD era came about. Unfortunately Deutsche Grammophon bought themselves a brand new digital recording studio and started re-recording all major albums. In this case it meant without Ferras. Damn. I nagged my local record shop for years getting them to ferret out some or other obscure different recording of Ferras, but after a few years (no Internet of any consequence then, remember?) frantically searching in catalogs and visiting Fairs they informed me that Deutsche Grammophon, having more or less finished re-recording all their major pieces, came around to remastering existing analogue recordings and releasing them on CD in series, not copies of the original albums. Ta-ta! I went and bought one. I think the list of CD's with Ferras & Berliner Philharmoniker & Karajan was: Deutsche Grammophon 423 224-2GMW Deutsche Grammophon 429 166-2GR Deutsche Grammophon 463 774-2GB8 Check it first though, I am too lazy at the moment. Enjoy! Christian Ferras was the greatest.
Excelente y deslumbrante Nivel Expresivo en el Concierto para Violín de P I Tchaikovisky , su interpretación deslumbra en los Tres Movimientos , con una ejecución Magistral .
Feu mon père m’avait initié à la musique classique et cette interprétation de Ferras m’avait toujours bouleversé aujourd’hui encore je l’écoute avec beaucoup d’émotions et d’affections.A travers cette interprétation il fait parler,chanter,et vivre son violon absolument émouvant ❤️❤️❤️
Qué importa cuál versión es mejor qué importancia tiene eso lo increíble es la profundidad y el lirismo que logra este hombre donde puedes escuchar un fragmento cientos de veces e impregnarte de emoción todas las veces que lo escuchas. Hoy hay violinistas de una técnica increíble pero ninguno que tenga este grado de profundidad absolutamente ninguno
Fantastic violinist for this piece. One for the ages. Hoping a copy of this is well preserved. Played by others it lack this kind of musicality, depth and power.
Perhaps this is the same recording? Herbert Von Karajan, Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No 1 (Lazar Berman), Violin Concerto in D (Christian Ferras), released Jan 1988, Deutsche Grammophon GmbH found on iTunes, $6.99.
Wiener Symphoniker is wrong: it's BERLINER PHILHARMONIKER, cond. by Karajan (Deutsche Grammophon). A fantastic recording! Also listen to Christian Ferras and his Tschaikowsky on EMI / Testament (which is with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Constantin Silvestri).
Où comment faire sonner un violon comme personne. En être propriétaire et ne pas se laisser malmener par lui. Avec Christian Ferras c'est le violon qui souffre (mais pas la musique). Il domine tout cela et fait exactement ce qu'il veut. Une fois de plus Le "petit Kayser" ne s'y est pas trompé qui l'a invité à maintes reprises...Quelle association! Même le grand orchestre Berlinois (ou Viennois??) peine à suivre ce diable. Et comme le grand Piotr a du jubiler d'entendre ainsi sa musique servie...
it's been 2 years since your post so perhaps you have encountered some of Menuhin's earlier recordings. They are well worth it and demonstrate why he was considered one of the greats. I think Menuhin suffered from a medical condition which caused his playing to deteriorate as he aged
C’est évidemment magnifique de lyrisme et d’infériorité, très émouvant, mais pour ma part impossible d’oublier le rouleau compresseur Oistrakh écrasant au point de se substituer à toute autre interprétation pendant l’écoute...
Ферра! Как же он хорош. Этот концерт Чайковского с Ферра и Караяном настоящее сокровище.

Christian is more than a violin maestro. He is the soul of the violin if this wooden instrument does have a spirit life.
So true, a wonderful comment!
Lo splendore di questo artista è ineguagliabile.

What a wonderful comment! I totally agree with you!
Descubrí a este señor hace sólo dos días y ya estoy convencida que es el mejor intérprete que he escuchado en mi vida. ❤
Да. Взял в плен душу и не отпустит.
Une interprétation toute en respect et émotion! Quelle sensibilité!Un. violoniste hors pair!
The best violonist by far........
Best Tchaikovsky recording no doubt.

Once his sweet tone, his musical phrase get in to you there is no other can replace it !!

D ACCORD SUR TOUT ET MERCI
without a shadow of a doubt my favourite recording.
Die beste Aufnahme,dieses Konzertes,die ich je gehöhrt habe!
Incredibly great player.
It's pity not many people know C. Ferras .:( sad

A travers décès, modes et nouveautés, il reste mon violoniste préféré.
Truly a great artist, could had been the best but died young.

Entièrement d'accord avec vous, extrêmement juste bravo pour votre vision de cet immense artiste qu'était Ferras trop tôt disparu
Pour moi, la version la plus aboutie. Le jeu de Ferras est aussi clair que sa sonorité est profonde. Interprétation bouleversante.
avec ruggiero ricci
Magnífico, sí señor!
Un merveilleuse interprétation de mon Concerto préféré.
Fantastic violinist for this piece. One for the ages. Hoping a copy of this is well preserved. Played by others it lack this kind of musicality, depth and power.
Beuatiful,stunning...and the orchestra is incomparable.
Absolutely magnificent!
Genius!
Gracias dios a veces creo que existes tanta perfección solo viene de ti y ese ángel musical
Unique!
I had this in vinyl but could not find in CD. I'm glad to find this great performance.
Perhaps this is the same recording? Herbert Von Karajan, Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No 1 (Lazar Berman), Violin Concerto in D (Christian Ferras), released Jan 1988, Deutsche Grammophon GmbH found on iTunes, $6.99.
I recently watched this version again. His performance leads the orchestra. It seems to outdo Karajan's command.
Extraordinaria y magistral interpretación del maestro Ferras le escuché en los 70s me encantó su pasión y tecnica
Grandioso violinista.Ascoltate il suo concerto di Brahms con Karajan e i Berliner. Unici.
А концерт Сибелиуса ❤
@@Marinavalerevna scrivi per cortesia in inglese grazie
@@remotoadamotroppovelocelaf868 Sibelius violin concerto?
fabuleux !
Magnificent though this is, his earlier version with Constantin Silvestri and the Philharmonia orchestra is even more electrifying
Best. I wish i would have seen this recording live...
Une comète, à la vie à la mort
magnificent performance
Wiener Symphoniker is wrong: it's BERLINER PHILHARMONIKER, cond. by Karajan (Deutsche Grammophon). A fantastic recording! Also listen to Christian Ferras and his Tschaikowsky on EMI / Testament (which is with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Constantin Silvestri).
Yes you're right I'm sorry, I will change it, thank you ;)
You are so perfect. Thank you for being you
What a decent performance!
As stunning as David Oistrakh’s.
Magnificent
Amazing!
Il y'a un seul qui peut jouer Tchaïkovsky à la perfection c bien jascha heifetz vraiment c'est un génie inégalable le meilleur de tous les temps
Ben non c'est Christian Ferras
Suffused with genius!
When the opus 35 was premiered in Vienna Hanslick wrote "This is music that stinks!" What is Hanslick suffering these centuries in Critics' Hell?
Bouleversant
Браво, Гениально!
Слегка(Караян же) странноват темпами финал 1 части. А так- прям "по русски".., что странно для европейцев.

Merci à vous@@lionelthiebaud7081
I think Christian Ferras is better than Mehuin.
it's been 2 years since your post so perhaps you have encountered some of Menuhin's earlier recordings. They are well worth it and demonstrate why he was considered one of the greats. I think Menuhin suffered from a medical condition which caused his playing to deteriorate as he aged
As good as Menuhin was, he never moved me like Christian Ferras.
C est ridicule de faire de pareil comparaisons, à ce niveau là, c est une question de goût, et pas d un absolu niveau.
Très ému...
C’est évidemment magnifique de lyrisme et d’infériorité, très émouvant, mais pour ma part impossible d’oublier le rouleau compresseur Oistrakh écrasant au point de se substituer à toute autre interprétation pendant l’écoute...
He takes many many risks... nowadays, they play safe all the time.
