Iona Brown and the Beethoven violin concerto.

[Andrew Preview]

Must compare to the version she did with Imai in the £6,09 Mozart box

I'd be interested to hear your views. I can't find the Brown/Suk version on Spotify or i-tunes, but I listened to Brown/Imai and enjoyed it very much. More so than Brown/Tomter on Chandos, where the Andante seems to lose some of its emotional weight at a more flowing pace.

Forgot the Chandos one. May see if I can find it on music.

I've heard Iona Brown live only once - playing the Brahms Violin Concerto at Sheffield City Hall in the late 60's. It was pretty dreadful, but having heard so many of her recordings subsequently, it's clear that it must have been one of her very rare off days.

Many, many thanks everyone. Duly purchased.

It has arrived! I'm listening now. Very good recording and super playing from Iona Brown.

[Barbirollians]

I have found it - to my embarrassment i see it was none other than Josef Suk !

Joy of joys found on the Decca serenata label on CD in a charity shop for £1.50 with the Fourth Concerto added in . An outstanding performance of K364 and two very fine recordings of the concertos.

I've never ventured much beyond Menuhin and Furtwangler, maybe I should but it still sounds sublime to me.

Which recording ?

The 1954 Philharmonia EMI is splendid the 1947 Lucerne perhaps even more inspired . Then I think there is a BPO one in that big Audite box I have not got round to listening to

It's the 1954.

It's the 1954.

Very special . I have it coupled with their equally lovely recording of the Mendelssohn Concerto with the BPO on EMI References from the early days of CD.
