Music reviews of Ginette Neveu Plays Brahms

Music Review: One of the Great Recordings of the Brahms Concerto
Rating: 5 Stars

Ginette Neveu would have lived on to become one of the last Century's greatest violinists had she not died tragically and prematurely at the age of 30 in an airplane crash in 1949. Possessing a brilliant technique with a wide range of tonal colors and emotions at her command, she brought great fire, passion, intensity and conviction to everything she played.

Neveu left a small recorded legacy, among which is this 1947 recording of the Brahms Violin Concerto with the Philharmonia Orchestra under Issay Dobrowen. This is a most distinguished performance. Neveu brought to the much-played and recorded warhorse concerto a youthful, firy passion that is hard to resist. This makes the recording something truly special and unique among the many put down on the gramophone for the Opus. The miniature pieces that fill up the rest of the disc are further testimonies of Neveu's inimitable artistry and musicianship.

The remastering by Michael Dutton serves to highlight Neveu's vibrant, sinewy tone, which emerges from the CD with startling immediacy. In so doing, the orchestra in the Brahms concerto sounds relatively recessed when compared to a previous transfer by EMI Reference, but this is a small price to pay.

[Note: There have been two other versions of Neveu playing the Brahms Violin Concerto, both published on the French Tahra label: one with the French National Orchestra conducted by Roger Desormiere on 4 Apr 1948 {in a three-CD set titled "Tribute to Ginette Neveu", on TAH 2.355/57}; another one is with the North German Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt on 25 Apr 1948, coupled with Brahms's Violin Sonata No. 3 accompanied by Neveu's brother Jean on the piano, on TAH 465. These live radio broadcasts find Neveu in even more expressive and elated form, but the CDs are very hard to obtain - so grab it if you happen to encounter one available online or in the record store.]
