Violin

Arabella Steinbacher has firmly established herself as one of today’s leading violinists on the international concert scene, where her mastery of the violin frequently joins forces with the world’s major symphony orchestras. The New York Times summed up her playing as follows: “Balanced lyricism and fire – among her assets are a finely polished technique and a beautifully varied palette of timbres.”

Steinbacher’s feeling for the timeless melodies on this CD runs as deep as her technical command is great. The result is lyricism of the highest order. The album opens with a lush arrangement of Max Bruch’s much-loved, yet surprising, Violin Concerto No. 1, followed by two exquisite pieces: Chausson’s Poème and Steinbacher’s acclaimed interpretation of Korngold’s Violin Concerto in D major.

Arabella plays Max Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, op. 26 Vorspiel, Adagio

Violin sensation Arabella Steinbacher began performing her first violin concerto (in G major) by Mozart when only eight years old, nearly as early on in life as the composer himself. And since then, the work has threaded its way throughout her successful career like a leitmotiv. Ms. Steinbacher has played the concerto at so many important moments of her life that she inevitably considers it an integral part of her. Yet her performance had never yet been recorded on CD – until now. 
Arabella's playful style mirrors Mozart's joyful approach to music and his unique manner of setting out deliciously pure, yet cheeky harmonies in these three concertos. Mozart's sense of humour and ideas are subtly conveyed by Arabella's delicate mastery of the music, with the support of the Festival Strings Lucerne at its finest.
This is the fulfilment of a long-cherished wish, and the opportunity to witness the culmination of an exquisite long-term love affair with the music.

This is thought by many to be the greatest piece of music ever written.  Jerry Davis completed his interpretation of the first two movements of this great symphony transcribing each note for each instrument into a MIDI sequencer within Cakewalk's Sonar X1 Producer.  The software for the instruments is East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Platinum Plus.

The opening of the first movement of this great symphony resembles an orchestra warming up before it bursts forth with bombastic, boastful, blissful, blasts of emphatic emphasis.
