Beethoven Violin Concerto 3rd Mov (Henryk Szeryng)

Once upon a time, more than 70 years ago, it happened in Shanghai where I was born that I began to be almost forced to listen to this Concerto almost every night by my eldest brother because he had earned enough money to buy the very expensiveVictor Electric Gramaphone. He was elated and crazy about it playing tne Kreisler or Heifetz's Mendelssohn and Beethoven Violin Concerto SP discs late at night and deep into darkness. In the beginning, it sounded like noises to me but I had no other choice but to fall into sleeping while listenning to them. So, one day after that time, I unknowingly became an involuntary music lover. But Music is now an Album of my Life. And furthermore it has cured me of my nihilism and nothingness toward life and death. All of you will be much happer after you become friends with CLASSICAL MUSIC ! That is why I am promoting to stimulate and increase the next Generation's curiosity and interets in CLASSICAL MUSIC.
