Both great gigs but Quercus were stunning. Thanks for flagging June Tabor. I I kind of had her on my radar screen but never properly checked her out.

I don’t mind same last name, but first and last identical really gets confusing. Luckily it doesn’t happen that often. That said I once bought a Bill Evans album without thinking and was very suprised that a) the album was pretty horrible and b) the album was by the OTHER Bill Evans, the one with the horn. watercourse 1 Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment

Now if I could catch Isabelle Faust and Janine Jansen anywhere this year I’d have covered all contemporary female violinists I adore and which are probably the best that are currently alive, and all in a single year.

I need to find out where I can find them. Call me crazy, but I just bought tickets for Isabelle Faust with the AKAMUS playing Bach’s violin concertos at Chateau de Tannay near Geneva in August. And now need to decide if I want to see Janine Jansen play Brahms, Sibelius or Berg. Probably end up going for Sibelius, as I’m seeing the Brahms tonight already with Batiasivhili, but then again Jansen’s Brahms recoding that was recently released is fantastic. Or maybe some chamber music instead? In any case, 2018 is going to be my violin year! Very happy. austinpop and AnotherSpin 1 1 Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment

I agree with you that we live in a golden age of outstanding female violin virtuosi. While not female, and as easy on the male eye, what's your view of Leonidas Kavakos? I have only seen him on the Berlin Philharmonic Digital Concert performing Sibelius, I believe, but this guy is amazing. Well I’m more mixed about Kavakos. His Sibelius is truly great, but I wasn’t such a fan of his recording of the Brahms violin sonatas for example. That may be more the fault of Yuja Wang than him though.

Have a listen to this: https://tidal.com/album/77696636 I hope I'm not offending anybody, but the combination of Wang and Dudamel kind of sums up for me what's quite often wrong in recent history of classical music, essentially hype over substance (or in other words, I have yet to hear a recording from any of the two that I like). But then, de gustibus non est dispudandum. semente 1 Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment
