Hi everyone! I would love to get your opinions on two takes of Prokofiev 2, first movement. Which do you think is better?

I prefer the first one. It seems to me to contain more emotion. Wonderful playing in both though!

I second Jake.

By the way, Alice, the Vieuxtemps Violin Concerto No.4 you played at age 12 just brew me away!

I hope your wrist has completely recovered.

Oh, for curiosity's sake may I ask what violin you perform on?

I prefer #1 but both are delightful listening.
