Violinist Gioconda De Vito was a key figure in the renaissance of Italian string playing after 1945. With her broad phrasing, ample tone and generous vibrato, she excelled in performances of Brahms’s Violin Concerto using Joachim’s cadenza, as in this 1941 recording. The Manchester Guardian wrote of her 1949 recording of Mozart’s G major Concerto: ‘Every note was perfectly intoned and of individual life, yet as easefully and indivisibly belonging to the phrases of song as waves in a flowing sea…quite heavenly’.


   



a unique and special release
Review By drp,December 2009

This is a unique and special recording. The sound quality is quite clear and well preserved. Its slight imperfections add to the atmosphere of the performances. De Vito's violin tone is idiosyncratic and beautiful with a warm presence. There is a sense of total involvement by the artist in the work rather than a clinical modern non-interventionist approach. These are not cool academic interpretations of these great classics - you feel her personal style and love of the music. Highly recommended.
