Voicu,ion - The Decca Recordings [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Ion Voicu was a legend in his own country, Romania, and in the profession at large, and appeared in most major musical centres. Yet he was not as well known in the English-speaking countries as he should have been. The long cold war and the dictatorial regime in his native land were mainly to blame for this state of affairs; but fortunately Voicu was able to make a few precious recordings on visits to the west.rrIon Voicu was born into this gypsy tradition in Bucharest on 8 October 1923. His father was a violinist and the family could trace their musical involvement back 300 years. He made his concert dxe9but aged sixteen, with Paganini's First Concerto. rrIon Voicu died in Bucharest on 24 February 1997. 'He was an outstanding violinist with a superb technique,' says his Romanian successor Sherban Lupu. 'His performances of the Paganini First Concerto were spectacularly memorable. I grew up as a small boy with him as a model for me, an aspiring young student. He was a very pleasant man u2013 I got to know him better in 1974 when he was a member of the jury at the Carl Flesch competition in London and I was a prizewinner.'rrHis Decca recordings ranged from the popular u2013 the Mendelssohn and Bruch Concertos, a favourite coupling in the LP era u2013 to the highly discriminating. This collection, bringing together his three recordings for Decca, include several twentieth-century sonatas for violin and piano with Monique Haas and Voicu's compatriot Victoria Stefanescu.rrAll these recordings receive their first release on CD, and Tully Potter provides the insightful liner notes.
