Beriot Violin Concertos

[John Hudock]

Some are a bit pedantic and there are sections that are virtuoso showpieces without much depth, but that said, there is a lot of wonderful music in the Beriot (Charles Auguste, 19th century not to be confused the the 20th century Luciano Berio) violin concertos. There are 9 in all, all of which are currently available either on CPO or Naxos except for #6. Hopefully one or the other of the labels will fill out the set with a recording.

Minor correction. De Beriot wrote 10 Violin Concertos. Nos 6. & 10 remain unrecorded so far.

[John Hudock]

Thanks for the correction. More to look forward to!

Hi Garreth, I think Friedemann Eichhorn will be taking care of the rest of the de Beriot concertos...will confirm.  There is an old record recording of the 6th concerto "The Belgian Violin School" and EMI box set I think. J

PS

Check out Bella Hristova playing Solo de Beriot, fun stuff
