Hi- i'm looking for a recording of the Viotti Concerto #22. i'm having a hard time locating a recording. Any ideas? Thanks
YES!! Itzahk Perlman has a very famous recording of this concerto. It is with other student concertos and it is called "Concertos From My Childhood. The last 3 tracks are the movements to Viotti 22. I love the concerto. It Boosts technique very rapidly with trills/mordents, spicatto/sautille, tricky string crossings and double stops. The other tracks on the album are as follows.
Reiding Concerto in B minor
Sietz concerto no. 2
Accolay Concerto in A minor
DeBeriot Scene De Ballet
Viotti 22
He tackles the Viotti so very well. Its a worth while cd.
For more cds log on to the following website:
www.arkivmusic.com or net try both, but I think its com
Good Luck GET THE PERLMAN CD THOUGH!!!
I had the hardest time with those trills on the first page!!!
lol...yeah, the have to be really quick because there on 16th notes. the trills are from 3rd finger 1st postition a on e string to first finger b on first position.
GVreetings,
Rachel, i am not sure why you are having a hard time locating a recording. Are you looking in the fridge? ;)
There is the Perlman, one by Shumsky, Walfisch (on authentic instrumnet...) some East European lady and a few others, Oistrakh is hanging aoround somewhere but is probably hard to get.
All you have to do is search Amazon.com.
Cheers,
Buri
thank you all so much. this site is great.
Grumiaux has also recorded it!

Check out the Music Minus One version; you can play along with the Band. Also, a lot of the trill markings in this piece( brise and mordents alike) are to be played as various turns, ornamented or not.
Isaac Stern had a wonderful recording of it too.
Grumiaux will be your only choice. He is simply the BEST, the FINEST and never surpassed by any other players. I think Oistrakh could come on a close 2nd choice.
i'm not sure i share that view at all
Perlmans is still on top. Hands down
