	Violin Concerto (Sibelius) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Violin Concerto in D minor by Jean Sibelius is his opus 47.
		Jascha Heifetz is generally considered to have resurrected the concerto, which he considered one of the great concertos in the violin literature.
		This is the only full-blown concerto that Sibelius wrote, though he composed several other pieces for orchestra and solo instrument.

	Sibelius: Violin Concerto in D minor (Part I)
		Besides his symphonies, his Violin Concerto in D minor serves as one of the best examples of portraying Sibelius's ardent patriotism for his country.
		He started working on the concerto throughout the year 1903, and Burmester supported him enthusiastically, and even compared the concerto's musical value to Tchaikovsky's violin concerto in D. Originally, the concerto was to be premiered by Willy Bermester in March 1904 since he was the dedicatee.
		Yet Sibelius was broke before the premiere, and he needed to hold a concert that should present his new composition (the violin concerto) as the main item.

	Buywell Just Classical - 'Prokofiev: Violin Concerto / Sibelius: Violin Concerto' CD Label: Deutsche Grammophon, Cat. ...
		The Sibelius Violin Concerto ranks among the most prominent concertos in violin literature and it has an extremely difficult solo part.
		Serge Prokofiev is one of the great Russian composers for violin and his concertos and sonatas take a firm place in the repertoire of important violinists today.
		The first violin concerto was originally planned by Prokofiev as a 'concertino' and its alteration of lyrical and grotesque themes gives the soloist many opportunities for virtuosic expression.

		Brahms Violin Concerto - Joachim had a big role in advising Brahms about the violin parts, this concerto is so powerful and elegant, a true warhorse that requires considerable maturity and mastry of the instrument before being performed.
		Saint-Saens this man is totally mind boggling from the violin concertos to the violin sonatas to his transcriptions of chopin for violin and piano.
		Sibelius - Finnish composer who was himself a violinist, of course he wrote one of the most important violin concertos in history that I am terribly fond of.

		Sibelius was born on December 8, 1865, in HÃ¤meenlinna (Tavastehus), Finland, and died on September 20, 1957, in Helsinki.
		Sibelius was already a national composer, and indeed something of a national hero, when he began work on his Violin Concerto in 1903.
		Perhaps because of the intimacy of his relationship with the instrument, allied with the spacious and heroic traditions of the concerto medium, it is one of the very few among his works in which the two widely contrasted sides of his musical character coexist.

	Review: Dylana Jenson Performs Sibelius, Violin Concerto
		Among violin concertos, the Sibelius has been obligatory for any soloist who wishes to be taken seriously, but I do not believe that this piece has been sufficiently recognised for its uniqueness in the Sibelius repertoire.
		This recording of the Sibelius Violin Concerto by Dylana Jenson with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra was her debut recording, which RCA chose to showcase in its then-new digital series.
		There is one passage in which Jenson's violin and the solo 'cello repeatedly exchange a handful of notes between each other in so simple and understated a manner, that it conjures in the mind's eye two lovers meeting, then parting, in the night.

		Sibelius actually came up with the sketch of this concerto over several days in a remote shack in the middle of nowhere during (guess what?) a long snowstorm.
		Jan Sibelius as a young man wanted to be a concert violinist - perhaps did not start young enough, but loved the violin and strings.
		If you play the violin yourself, there are many rondos, caprices, and lighter works for violin, and his songs can easily be adapted for string play.

	Sibelius: Violin Concerto in D minor (Part II)
		Jean Sibelius banned the performance of the 1903/4 version of violin concerto, and since the premiere by Viktor Novacek was not recorded, we are not able to distinguish between the older version and newer version.
		But rather excitingly, we are delighted by the appearance of a recording of the original version of the violin concerto.
		This recording was only possible through the permission of the Sibelius family, and we should be sincerely grateful to them for allowing it to be performed.

	Saint Louis Symphony
		Sibelius was born in Hämeenlinna, Finland, on December 8, 1865; he died at his home in Järvenpää, Finland, on September 20, 1957.
		Sibelius scored this work for solo violin and an orchestra of two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani and strings.
		Acknowledging the somewhat sinister character of the theme played by the solo violin over the galumphing accompaniment, he called the movement a “danse macabre.” However one characterizes it, this initial idea soon is countered by a rhythmically lively second subject.

		Whereas many of the great piano concertos have been written for the composers themselves, most of the great violin concertos were written for others, with technical assistance required from violinists.
		Today the concerto is a favorite of violinists due to the passionate melodies and stunning virtuosic challenges that they love to conquer.
		Composed in 1949, the concerto was first performed on September 9 of that year at the Hereford Three Choirs Festival with Frederick Thurston as soloist.

		Sibelius fulfilled national expectations of the emergence of a Finnish master composer, and several other note-worthy composers came to the fore in his wake.
		Sibelius had some difficulty arriving at the final form of the violin concerto.
		The solo violin is almost as nobly scored as in the concerto.

	Sibelius/Khachaturian violin concertos - Sergey Khachatryan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The Armenian violinist Sergey Khachatryan - no indication whether he's related to the second composer in the headnote - won the International Jean Sibelius Competition in December, 2000, when he was all of fifteen years old, but he waited until last year to make this recording at the ripe old age of eighteen.
		The soft, running broken octaves at 5:33 of the Sibelius Adagio sound a bit nervous, but the louder ones in the Finale are fine.
		I continue to favor Heifetz's nonpareil stereo Sibelius (with Hendl on RCA 61744) and Perlman's affectionate Khachaturian (EMI, worth waiting for in a midpriced reissue).

	INKPOT#51 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: SIBELIUS Violin Concerto (Original & Final Versions, BIS)
		Sibelius had arranged for the former leader of the Helsinki Orchestra and then renowned virtuoso Willy Burmeister to premiere the concerto in March 1904.
		The original version of the concerto sound more paced right from the start, when the cadenza at the beginning is deliberately taken slowly and purposefully because it has a continuation of arpeggios to accompany the orchestra.
		Her recording of the concerto was, I believe, remastered and issued in 2000.

		Nadja always plays with passion and intelligence, but the Sibelius is one of the pieces for which she has a special affinity.
		The conductor matches her intensity, too - some of her concerto performances are marred by a conductor who seems almost sleepy in comparison with her white-hot intensity (I'm thinking of the Brahms concerto particularly).

	[Sibelius - Violin Concerto] notes by Paul Serotsky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The Second Symphony and the subsequent Violin Concerto can be viewed as the melting-pots in which he forged his “first maturity”, a transition from “overt nationalist” to “organic naturalist”, felt as much through formal flux as profound luminsescence.
		The halting phrases soon become the bones of the violin’s burning yearnings, whose eventual exhaustion strikes fire in the “supplication”, a flame of agitation which spreads to the violin.
		Arboreal strength emerges through the second, which on its reprise is threaded by the violin’s slender glacial overtones.

		Sibelius's solitary concerto is one of the most passionate tests for the violin virtuoso, one to which Maxim Vengerov is more than equal; he captures the work's passion and its occasional quirky patches of the spookily sublime.
		Not only is Maxim Vengerov's interpretation of Sibelius' Violin Concerto absorbing, his flawless technique and perfect execution is simply stunning.

	BBC - Classical Review - Sibelius/Sinding: Violin Concerto, Bournemouth SO/Henning Kraggerud
		Tackling a work like Sibelius' Violin Concerto is like climbing a mountain which gets a little higher with every generation, as new benchmark recordings appear.
		Where Kraggerud and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra truly shine is in Sibelius' one-movement G minor Serenade, here given a wonderfully shaped performance by both orchestra and soloist, seemingly more suited to the Serenade's lighter sense of introspection and yearning.
		The work (whose opening theme is uncannily reminiscent of that of the final movement of Brahms' Violin Concerto) draws on the full palate of both late-nineteenth century harmony and orchestral colour.

		Henning Kraggerud's powerful reading of the Sibelius violin concerto - less reflective than some, but full of panache - comes here with an unusual and attractive partner: another Scandinavian violin concerto, the first of the three written by Norway's Christian Sinding.
		And while the opening theme is a bare-faced crib from the finale of the Brahms violin concerto, Sinding's individual voice is quickly established in the first movement, leading to a dark, intense slow movement and dance-like finale.

	Records International Catalogue October 2003
		The ten-minute G major work for two violins and piano is Sibelius' first multi-movement work (1883); two full-length trios (all the other works are for the standard trio instrumentation except for the Menuetto in F) are included (21 and 22 minutes, respectively).
		The concerto is quite approachable too, an 18-minute, three-movement piece whose headings suggest the dance also ("Entrée", "Pas de deux" and "Coda") and which, as the composer freely admits in the notes, was strongly influenced by Schoenberg's piano concerto and Survivor from Warsaw.
		Hitt admits to being inspired partly by Sibelius' violin concerto but direct echoes are remote, the overriding style evoking the inspirational quality of rugged nature and the Big Sky country in a romantic style which, in places, could be a film score for an imaginary large-budget American Western.

		Her cold distance may be thought of as bringing across the snowscape of Sibelius' homeland - cold and stark on the surface, with the warmth concentrated internally.
		Coupled with the Concerto are the two Serenades for violin and orchestra.
		The opening of the Humoresque No.1 (in D minor, like the Concerto) immediately shows Mutter's appreciation of the Sibelian idiom, with her slightly reticent, distant entry befitting the music, followed by passages of vigorous yet playful music, made both charming and understatedly mischievious by Mutter.

		Haendel studied with teachers as important and diverse as Carl Flesch and Georges Enescu; and her playing of the concerto combines Enescu’s freedom with Flesch’s discipline, Enescu’s exotic passion with Flesch’s academic seriousness.
		The concerto, especially in its revised form, shuttles, in performances like Heifetz’s (especially the early one with Beecham), between menace and outright terror.
		However one might second-guess the choices she makes in individual passages, they emanate from a personality determined enough to vie with that of the composer for attention.
