After performing Sibelius' Violin Concerto on the Helsinki Broadcasting Corporation in 1949, Ida Haendel was told by the composer himself, \"You have performed it beautifully in every respect. Congratulations on your great success. This old EMI recording, made in 1975 when Ida Haendel was 47 years old, shows her at the height of her physical and mental powers. Not only the soloist, but also the conductor, together, showed their enthusiasm to convey the true value of this piece to the world, but also her outstanding virtuoso sensibility in the first movement, the phrasing of the second movement, which is full of beautiful melodies that are among the best in Sibelius' music, and the exquisite tempo of the second movement. The third movement is a masterpiece that will be listened to for years to come, with its superb play with the conductor as the piece moves along at an exquisite tempo. This is one of the finest stereo recordings of the piece, and the sound quality is of the late perfection of the old EMI analog recordings.For this reissue on analog vinyl, a new remastering and other tests were conducted to determine which sound source would reproduce the best sound quality, and the source from the 2002 CD release was chosen for this reissue because it retains the warmth and brilliance of the analog version. Three of Sibelius' favorite violin pieces are also included.
