Violachix Isabelle van Keulen and the unrecorded violinconcerto of Nikolay Youssoupow

For Eric: I found Dutch violinist/violist Isabelle van Keulen

with this foto, but I missed Janine Jansen and Lisa Ferschtman, so I sent them an email.

By the way: I spoke to Isabelle after a concert and she had never heard of the unrecorded violinconcerto of prince Nikolaj Youssoupow, a pupil of Henri Vieuxtemps. I found this name Youssoupow in an English music encyclopedia. I found recently his violonconcerto in a library and made copies and a scans of it. A colleague on my work made with Adobe professional of these scans a pdf-file of 700 kb. After printing this piece of 11 pages all notes were clear and of good quality. Who wants it and with which orchestra are you gonna record it, so I can add this violinconcerto-cd to my collection in the (near?) future?

Hmm, this lady doesn't seem to qualify as a Bram ViolinChix. For starters, she's about 20 years too old. I also find the sheer quantity of clothes she's wearing to be offensive.

Hey, the Oprahnite is back as well! All familiar faces have returned. Balance has been restored.

Man, this chick is hot. She even looks like somebody's mom and she's hot. That's totally hot.

Jim has posters of Julie Andrews over his bed.

Hey! Julie Andrews was hot - in her day.

Besides (and continuing in the usual over-dose of testosterone vein) I think Isabelle van Keulen definitely qualifies as a hot violin chix. She meets all the standard desperate male criteria: she's blonde, she plays the violin, she's female. :)

As in some classical Greek literature, the great question is who wins, youth, or experience?

van Keulen is throwing significant advantage for experience...
