Review:

“

Still a great one. Isaac Stern really pours it on. He plays with certainty and strength and makes even the more sedate parts shine and I think his impassioned interpretations during the Bruch and Wienawski are exciting. Never muddy, he adds depth and solidarity to the long notes and delicacy to the high ones. I enjoy the entire album but I especially enjoy the Bruch. The Best Recording Ever! I was so impressed with this recording and as a violinist I believe that you should own a copy of this high class masterpiece. Stern's sound is so rich and deep that it touches your heart in a way that is life changing. If you want to hear a great master of the violin, buy this recording and you will not regret it. Awesome rendition of Wieniaski, nice others too! I rarely buy CDs for the soloist performing. I buy them for the composer, and consequently rarely buy CDs with multiple composers on them. Basically I didn't pay attention when I bought this CD. Well lucky me because not only is the Wieniaski great, but the Bruch and Tchaikovsky complement it very well. I definately recommend this CD to violin afficionados.
