Saint Saens - Violin Concerto 3 [Dumay/ Yazaki-Orchestre Philharmonique De Monte Carlo]Here's Saint-Saens beautiful Violin Concerto again, and a really superb recording to boot, it was a joy to listen to this, i played it near the beginning of my Blog last year [30th January 2010], again i must make mention of Ebay, this is where i found this disc, i hadn't seen this disc before, and i haven't seen another copy since, i'm so glad i was able to snap this up, plus i guess i need to delve into the other two Concertos as well.
Augustin Dumay is French i think, possibly Belgian, he used to record for EMI, as on this disc, but now he has switched to DG, i get the idea he's married to Maria Joao Pires, but maybe they're just performing partners, he made this recording in 1982, the front cover is a truly excellent photo [by Roberto Estrada], an excellent portrait of Dumay with his violin, those dark backround greens, offset by the red sweater, and the lettering is nicely placed too, it's a real joy to own this recording.
