BRAHMS/TCHAIKOVSKY VIOLIN CONCERTOS

The Heifetz-Reiner recordings of these two legendary Violin concertos are on one CD. For decades Heifetz owned these concertos and he was the standard against all others were compared, but the more recent recording of the Brahms by Sophie Mutter may be the standard now. She has given us a “feminine” insight into this piece. These are two of the top Violin Concertos. Also in this category at the top are Mendelssohn's and Beethoven's and see my entry on Bruch.
