This Concerto (which we know is the second since a first early concerto was played by Yehudi Menuhin in 1951) was expressly intended for Ferdinand David (1810-1873), one of the most remarkable violinists of all time, a great musician, a friend from childhood and youth, a true comrade-in-arms of Mendelssohn who could write to him:
"I have been thinking lately how beautiful it is that we are together and not forced to struggle one here and the other there, as happens to many good people in our dear and awful homeland. While digging this thought, I realized that in short I cannot imagine another with whom I feel united in art as with you someone who walks forward, like you, without stopping, in a straight, wide way, whose way of acting gives me as much deep joy... One never says these things verbally! Let me, therefore, write them to you and tell you here how much your so rapid, so happy evolution has struck and delighted me... May heaven allow us to share more and more our most holy aspirations and to hold firmly to what is dear and sacred to us in art, so that it does not perish...".
Finally, it is the most honest of musicians who declares: "My duty is to write what I feel and how I feel it, entrusting myself, for the effect that it may produce, to Him who watches over many other and greater things. My only and unceasing preoccupation is to express sincerely, in my compositions, the feelings of my heart, and when I have written a piece by abandoning myself to inspiration, I believe I have done my duty." All this is found and affirmed in the Concerto in E minor.

Perlman just has the perfect balance of sweetness of tone and bite to his bowing. Love it. Haintink gives his romantic but always clean support admirably.

[@js-miep2025]

Perfect balance....I definetly agree with you!

[@canman5060]

Perlman always said violin is the most difficult instrument to play but he always plays it with such beauty beyond any word can describe.

[@Xerkun]

Perlman's are the best Mendelssohn renditions.

[@donna30044]

A collaboration between Perlman & Haitink is always an historically wonderful musical event. ❤

юмора.
Благодарю,Вас!
Браво!!!

[@stonefireice6058]

Itzhak and David Oistrakh are the best in this concerto! They could play violin, as their soles were part of that instrument. Incredible.

[@canman5060]

If my memory is correct he played this Mendelssohn violin concerto with the Hong Kong Philharmonic conducted by Helen Kwok in the early 1970's during his visit to the Far East.

[@PaperGrape]

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne und spannende Interpretation dieses romantischen und perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit süßem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der unvergleichlichen Solovioline sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lyrisch. Der ebenso unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut betrachteten Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Wunderbar und atemberaubend zugleich!

[@dejanstevanic5408]

Lovely. Thank you.
