About

Christian Ferras life had been very troubled; in his life we find a unique musical talent bul also several years of depressions and alcoholism culminating in his suicide in 1982 when he was not fifty year old. He was born in 1933 and had been a child prodigy in playing violin so hi discographical career began very early with some famous recordings including the two we present here. With studio recordings he had an international and very interesting concert activity. But unfortunately his personal and psychological problems began very soon depression and alcoholism forced him cancelling his public performances and so his career had been compromised. he get retired from live performances for long years but he returned to the public in the early Eighties but depression took his life the 14th September 1982 in Paris. The famous concerts we present here show the young Ferras at the top of his career: with a sound extremely worm intonate and passionate with also an interpretative style clean and connected to the classical performing that made this recordings a model in musical history of this two works.
