One_Tree_Hill Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 There is one CD of all of Eugene Ysaye's complete recordings (they are few) and one of the tracks is the 3rd movement of the Mendelssohn violin concerto with piano. I highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ondinaperret Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 The "edition peters (No.1731a)" has a play along CD by music partner for this Mendelssohn's E Minor, but the play along is with Orchestra (Budapest Orchestra, I think). Have you checked any of the Dowani Series or the Music Minus One series? Their accompanyment is usually with piano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toscha Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Before 1925 (the end of the accoustic recording days), it was not uncommon for violinists to record a concerto movement with pianist, using the piano reduction parts. As for the Mendelssohn, there are several recordings of 2nd and 3rd movements accompanied by piano, such as Ysaye (3rd movement), Marie Hall (3rd), Arnold Rose (2nd), Maud Powell (3rd), Bronislaw Huberman (2nd & 3rd), Toscha Seidel (3rd), etc. There is one recording I am aware of that plays the whole concerto with piano. The recording is played by Josef Wolfsthal (1899-1931). Wolfsthal studied with Carl Flesch and was considered by Flesch to be one of the most gifted pupil he has ever taught. He left very few recordings because of his early death (from complication of influenza), but his three concerti recordings (Beethoven, Mozart No.5 and Mendelssohn) ranks with the very best players of the past.

hopben Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 There is a Milstein recital from the Library of Congress (1946, I believe) where the entire concerto is played with piano. It is still in print. I forget the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
