I have ignored the Mendy VC for years now.
It has never really captured my imagination in the way that the other heavy-hitter VC’s do, like the Beethoven or Brahms.
Last night I was watching this superbly informative yet entertaining video from conductor and educator Ben Zander in which he does an ‘Interpretation Class’ with a young violinist.
It’s fascinating how shifts of tone in the performance can really transform one’s perception of the piece.
I guess I’ve probably judged it previously on rather old-school overly romantic interpretations so I am going to reassess the VC with some recent recordings to see if I can find something different in it as well.
