Vitali, G: Chaconne

De Vito is recognized by audiences and critics alike as one of the greatest artists of her time and was considered Europe’s foremost woman violinist.
This set includes two versions of her acclaimed renditions of Brahms’ Violin Concerto.
Gioconda de Vito’s very expressive, improvisatory style of playing, slow vibrato and generous, warm phrasing, conveys a degree of emotional depth rarely encountered.
This compilation is a tribute to such a superb violinist, whose artistry has been unjustly neglected and sometimes even forgotten.
