Mendelssohn Violin Concerto 3rd Movement

Christian Ferras - violin

This man was a stunning musician, I am so pleased to have only recently found his work. His playing is unbelievably stable, beautifully sound, and almost understated in its reasonableness.

From Wikipedia - "In spite of the beautiful music he produced from his instrument, Christian Ferras struggled with severe lifelong depression. The illustrious career of this distinguished violinist came to a tragic end when he committed suicide on September 14, 1982."

He was 49 at the time of his death.
