Description:

Young Dutch violinist Smoulars takes on the challenge of Beethoven & Berg's Violin Concertos! Dutch violinist Ifonne Smoulars plays Beethoven and Berg violin concertos. At the age of 10, she played Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in Amsterdam, and was a child prodigy. She has won various competitions and prizes, and is one of the most popular mid-career violinists in the Netherlands. Her music is very gentle and peaceful. Beethoven's music, which tends to be played with great power, becomes soft, warm, and smiling music in her hands. While Berg's Violin Concerto shows off her superb technique, the violin is always dainty and beautiful, highlighting Berg's feelings for Manon, who died young. Tobu Land System
