Two absolutely luminous and exquisite interpretations of Sibelius Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47.
"... music, since it passes over the Ideas, is... quite independent of the phenomenal world, positively ignores it, and, to a certain extent, could still exist even if there were no world at all, which cannot be said of the other arts."
(Arthur Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Representation)
Christian Ferras (his second movement has my heart completely!) - this is my personal favourite version of the Sibelius violin concerto. Conductor: Zubin Mehta.
Jascha Heifetz (1935, with London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham). It was once said of the legendary Jascha Heifetz, "He should make one mistake each day so that God won't be jealous of him."
