Music Minus One Violin: Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor, op. 64 (Book & 2 CDs) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're a violinist ready for a workout, this is a good one. I have found that the music minus one concerti typically suffer from too slow a tempo. They're a great addition to practice (and of course, fun fantasy) but just a bit too slow. This (I should say these) versions of the Mendelssohn violin concerto break that mold. There are three different versions; a "practice" tempo, a "traditional tempo" and a full-out modern concert tempo; the speed popularized by Heifetz, I think.
It'll take a few times to get used to a couple strange excessive retards and then complete lack thereof in other expected areas-- but overall, it's a fun ride.

Product Description:
Listen to the soloist-then play the selections yourself. Perfect for performance, practice, auditions and for everyday listening pleasure!Felix Mendelssohn worked on this concerto for six years. It is truly one of the most beautiful and popular in concerto literature-eloquent, passionate, lofty, and brilliant. A romantic-era classic of epic proportions. This new digitally remastered version of one of MMO's most popular editions brings new sonic brilliance, plus a newly engraved, "urtext" score with orchestral reduction printed along the solo part; and a second compact disc featuring two alternate versions, one a slightly slower 'traditional' tempo version and also a further slowed practice version of the accompaniment to help you get up to speed!Musicians:Performed by Geoffrey Applegate, violinAccompaniment: Vienna Symphony OrchestraConductor: Franz Litschauer Song Listing:Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, FelixViolin Concerto in E minor, op. 64
