I already acclaimed volume 1 of this series (opus 5). This will not be the case for this second volume devoted four sonatas of the Fourth Book of JM Leclair. Many athletes have broken the kidneys will interpret some of the most formidable sonatas of this directory (Book 4). But what first strikes in this recording is the sound 'muddy', deaf, any low frequency, which does not benefit the violin which must be sovereign in the kingdom of the pitfalls of Leclair . What is more unfortunate is that the game of the artist, is he too rough, rough, stiff and sometimes downright inaudible dams moments or difficulties at their worst; Indeed, what a beautiful mess late Tambourine-Presto of the Sonata No. 3 or the artist makes his violin buzzing dams deaf and heavy inaudible roar!
The beautiful fiery and energetic allegro jitter Sonata No. 7 in particular timidly save the day. But, ultimately, it remains unsatisfied. The recital is certainly somewhat annoying. Sound decision and ruin the dialogue between the artist and the listener who can not remain captive.
In addition, Mrs. Wallfisch failed to choose either the most beautiful and the most formidable sonatas Fourth Book. This is unfortunate ... Technical limitations? Go figure ... Finally, the recent delivery of the same book Patrick Bismuth remains unbeatable.
