  Henri Vieuxtemps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henri François Joseph Vieuxtemps (February 17, 1820 – June 6, 1881) was a Belgian composer and violinist active in France.
Vieuxtemps was born in Verviers, Belgium, son of a weaver and amateur violinist and violin-maker.
It is because of his seven violin concertos, however, that Vieuxtemps occupies an important place in the history of the violin as a prominent exponent of the Franco-Belgian violin school.

 Pasadena Symphony:Program Notes- October 21, 2000
As virtuoso, composer, interpreter, and teacher, Vieuxtemps was one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of his day: a violinist who led the post-Paganini age, and a composer whose works remain fixed in the violin canon.
Born in 1820, in Verviers, Netherlands, Vieuxtemps was a child prodigy.
Vieuxtemps' self-stated compositional goal was to "combine the pure form of the Viotti concerto with the technical demands of modern times," and this concerto fulfills his criterion admirably.

Vieuxtemps (1820-1881) was not only one of the greatest violinists of his time but also a master pedagogue who taught or influenced Ysaÿe, Hubay, and Auer.
His compositions are generally regarded as mere bravura showpieces, but this is contradicted by these last three concertos, which--though they do indeed demand utmost virtuosity from the player--reveal solid structural craftsmanship, masterful orchestration, and considerable emotional depth and intensity.

On vieuxtemps, at times fast notes are dull and sound like she is struggling with fingerings.
Her rendition on the whole is sterling, perhaps outstanding, and the first four movements are rendered truly entrancing; but I would not say her artistry is fully mature.
First of all, as in the Vieuxtemps concerto, there's a dearth of rubato and portamento that would have given the piece ultimate charm, allure, sensuality, and Iberian flavour.

Henri Vieuxtemps belongs to the few composers who were very familiar with the special sound character of the viola and were able to bring this out optimally in their works.
Nor does the pianist have reason to complain of any lack of technical demands and soloistic brilliance.

When Hector Berlioz first went to hear the six-year-old violinist Henri Vieuxtemps perform, there was no way he could have guessed that the young boy whose fingers danced over the strings would grow up to revolutionize the Romantic concerto.
Following in the footsteps of Paganini, and paralleling the
path of Liszt, Vieuxtemps composed works for his own instrument, and for his own use; today, these pieces - and particularly the concertos - stand as masterpieces beloved by all students of the violin.
