Liza Ferschtman:….slowly, as my musical path kept
unfolding, I got to the point where more and more I was able to let go
of my preconceived notions about the Violin Concerto and more clearly
start to see and hear my own voice in it. Over the years I got to know
so much more music by Mendelssohn, from the inside out, and I felt the
language become more fully my own. When working with Kees Bakels on it a
couple of years ago things started to really fall into place, and last
May when performing it with the Arnhem Philharmonic I really was all of a
sudden struck by a distinct feeling that I can only describe as falling
in love all over again with this magical piece. Certain details in the
score seemed to appear completely new to me and the idea of approaching
the work with the same collaborative energy as in chamber music made me
experience it completely afresh. The combination of passion, grand
emotions and at the same time lightness and elegance, such
characteristic traits for Mendelssohn, fell completely into place. To
feel this way about such a familiar piece was revelatory and I knew I
wanted to share these discoveries, if you like, with many more people.
