A fascinating CD, not only because of the distinctive imaging of the booklet. Less would have been more comfortable here. - Do you ever given the wealth of recordings of the Brahms Violin Concerto also know this or even possess? I mean, yes, because it is an answer to the question of how much Schlackenlosigkeit and unearthly purity of intonation of violin playing tolerate this concert; (also in the double stops!) Moreover: thoughtfulness where one is accustomed to expect flying colors and fireworks (best example: the Joachim cadenza in the first movement, as it as a meditation!). Restrained, the symphonic events to integrating, never boastful or sentimental this voice interacts with the unusually slow vibrato to the slow points; while never stress. Certainly, the interpretations of Ginette Neveu as Gidon Kremer or rekindle an entirely different glow; they could in order to remain in the picture, called red heat - in contrast to the white heat of passionate passages of this recording. - Almost unexpectedly is the virtuoso who often rollicking, burlesque, rough, ironic, grotesque musical language of Igor Stravinsky's Violin Concerto very well. Also orchestra and conductor give of their best in a balanced sound image. (In contrast, Brahms concert sound percussion, deep strings and winds overly withdrawn.)
