Christian Ferras

Christian Ferras Edition (19CD Box Set)

This Limited Edition original-jackets collection brings together the Decca and Deutsche Grammophon recordings of Christian Ferras, supplemented by those he made for these labels’ French and Japanese divisions. A "soulful, intelligent artist who produced a sound that was patrician and elegant, sumptuous and golden" (The American Scholar), this collection presents what Gramophone magazine called "some of the loveliest violin records of the past 50 years."
