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.
This blog is for people who want to learn to appreciate classical music. All music was chosen for accessibility and outstanding merit. Most have won awards and reflect my 60+ years of listening. Most classical music is just the popular music from the past and needs no more training to enjoy than pop music or eating ice cream. It is dedicated to Dr. Joe Stocco who mastered all western classical music by age 12 and introduced me to it when I was 13. My public playlists are on Spotify at jbritell.
