Something worth listening out for! Alexander Barantschik plays a 1742 Guarnerius del Gesù violin. Once owned by the virtuoso Ferdinand David, who is believed to have played it in the world premiere of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in 1845, it was also the favourite instrument of the legendary Jascha Heifetz, who acquired it in 1922. Hear Barantschik playing two Beethoven Romances on today’s Full Score.
