Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Liza Ferschtman's latest album, "Brahms: Violin Concerto - Suk: Fantasy," released on February 28, 2025, under the Rubicon label. This exquisite collection of chamber music showcases Ferschtman's virtuosity and emotional depth, accompanied by the Brussels Philharmonic.
The album features a stunning rendition of Johannes Brahms' Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 77, a piece renowned for its technical demands and profound expressiveness. Ferschtman's interpretation is both powerful and nuanced, bringing new life to this timeless masterpiece. The concerto is divided into three movements: the lively "Allegro non troppo," the tender "Adagio," and the playful yet restrained "Allegro giocoso, ma non troppo vivace."
Complementing Brahms' concerto is Josef Suk's Fantasy in G Minor for Violin & Orchestra, Op. 24. This lesser-known gem is a testament to Suk's lyrical genius and Ferschtman's ability to convey deep emotion through her playing. The piece is a single, continuous movement that takes the listener on a journey through a range of moods and textures.
With a total duration of 1 hour and 3 minutes, this album is a testament to Ferschtman's artistry and the Brussels Philharmonic's exceptional musicianship. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album promises a rich and rewarding listening experience.
