Mendelssohn / Luca / Conelly - Romantic Violin - Music CD

Violinist Sergiu Luca, a former student of Rostal and Galamian, was one of the pioneers of period instrument performance. He died in 2010, and this 2004 recording is a rare document of Luca's mastery of the Romantic violin repertoire, the famous 'FAE Sonata' being an all-time favorite. He is accompanied by pianist Brian Connelly on an 1840 Streicher fortepiano.
