A lovely coupling of these two most popular Violin Concertos, these were the first two Violin Concertos i ever heard, and it started me on i lifelong search for other wonderful Violin Concertos, and Chung is a great advocate and interpretor, this Concerto is tremendous, and it gets better towards the end.
Kyung Wha Chung is South Korean, she's now 64, and she recorded this disc in 1981, the booklet photo [by Susesch Bayat], has Chung in a nice pose, the violin looks almost like a viola, plus she looks so young, and her dress looks like a nightdress!, but it's a good visual.
What a great experience this was, the whole thing zings from start to finish, but it's the third movement for me where incredible fireworks take place, .
Here's Janine Jansen playing the third movement on YouTube.
