You might be surprised. Even a "strange" cadenza (which I don't think this one is) is a small price to pay for such a good performance.

Yes indeed, that may well be a good point.

What do people think of the Jansen/Järvi?

It was my first recording (I am relatively new to classical music) and still holds a special place in my heart. The Britten concerto on the same disc is awfully good as well.

I do not have it nor have I heard it but I await comments with interest. I notice the coupling and I have no recordings of the Britten VC. A friend of mine likes Janine Jansen but I have not heard much of her performances.

I don't know the performance, but the Britten is a wonderful work.

just stumbled over this thread on the old gmg forum on the same topic (I was trying to find any Mischa Elman thread - in vain, alas):
http://www.good-music-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=9560

was hooked pretty quickly and thought others might enjoy the read (and of course, David Zinman is a swiss-german  ;D)

Fick mich mehr, du hast dein ehr.
Kannstu nit, ich wills dich lern.
Fick mich, lieber Peter!

This vinyl is a recent purchase. One obviously knows of the Kreisler cadenzas used in many violinists' performances of the Beethoven violin concerto but I had not heard Kreisler himself playing the concerto before now. What an amazing performance it was with both technical and lyrical ability abounding. The sound quality was amazing considering that the performance was recorded in December 1926.

Great Dutch violinist. If you are unfamiliar with his Brahms recording - definitely try it.
