Brahms - Violin Concerto [Ricci/Del Mar-Sinfonia Of London]

Here's an inventive idea, Brahms's Violin Concerto with 16 different cadenzas, pick whatever one you want, i haven't listened to all these cadenzas, on this listen i played the one that's already recorded into the performance, the Busoni cadenza, strange in a way, it has a timpani drum roll throughout the first half of the cadenza.

Ruggiero Ricci is was born in the United States, he is now 92 [2 days ago], he retired from playing in 2003, and this recording was made in 1991.

I really enjoyed the first movement,

Here's Nikolaj Znaider playing the first movement on YouTube, with Valery Gergiev conducting.
