Pool Boy Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 When it comes to classical music involving pieces highlighting the Violin, a favorite performer of mine is Gil Shaham. One of the pieces I have listened to many times and seen live with him playing (I think twice) is Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E Minor (#64).Here are each of the movements-- 1. Allegro 2. Andante 3. Allegro molto vivace A treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hersch Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Turning this to my love of Romantic chamber music, Gil Shaham, a wonderful violinist indeed, and his sister Orli Shaham, no slouch at the piano, put out a wonderful CD some years ago called "Dvorak for Two." Dvorak, whose diacritical markings will have to be supplied by the imagination of the reader [or editor: DvoÅ™í¡k], is among the giants of the Late Romantic era, and wrote quite a lot of chamber music, much of it surpassingly beautiful. Here's the first of his 4 "Romantic Pieces," op. 75, played by the Shahams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arts Hawk Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Just worked with Gil - Bach concerti 1041 and 1042. Wonderful player, beat cancer and also just recorded the six solo sonatas and partitas. I'd go preorder those right away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love to watch the guy when he plays. He's quite gifted. I have a friend in the Kansas City Symphony who is sorta buddies with Gil, too. They were on a radio show once and did their best Beavis and Butthead impressions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
