Johannes Brahms
Violin Concerto

Anne-Sophie Mutter (violin)
Herbert von Karajan & Berliner Philharmoniker



Absolutely brilliant performance. Apart from some exceptions, I have always dedicated less attention to violin concerti than other types of concerto, but I would like to improve my knowledge of that kind of musical composition, especially after revisiting some of them off forum yesterday (Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, Mendelssohn and Dvorak) and greatly enjoying them. Not that I didn't like violin concerti before, but I've always preferred piano concerti.

Good to hear that you enjoyed revisiting some violin concerti.  I suspect that you're not alone in perhaps going through phases or periods in terms of what you like to listen to?  I know that I have.  Life is for exploring and enjoying the journey--I think so anyway.    Have fun!

I haven't listened to that recording in ages, I got it as a new release on vinyl, and thought it was glorious.

Remarkable how Mutter transformed from an awkward teenager to a glamorous adult.

Yes, absolutely, especially if the exploration is about something so wide, spiritually enriching and enjoyable like music. Thank you, you too!

It is glorious indeed, Mutter is such an incredible violinist! Unfortunately I've never got a record player for vinyl LP, but I've always thought it must be a great experience to listen to music on it (in particular, if it's the case of Karajan's recordings ), it gives me the idea of playing music with a warmer, richer sound.

I've also listened to that recordings on CD. After I got my first CD player I never wanted to listen to an LP again, except for recordings that were never released on CD.
