CD Reviews

3 "Too Brilliant" Performances by Legendary Duo

Raymond B. Wertheim | Malden, MA USA | 07/31/2007

(2 out of 5 stars)

"Caiman and Urania: you should be ashamed of yourselves!! You permitted 3 gorgeous performances to be reissued in the keys of B-Flat Major, f minor, and B-Flat Major; instead of A Major, e minor, and A Major. The sound is far too brilliant and tempi are all too feverish as a result. These legendary performances on LP in the correct keys were a joy to hear, the reissues are not.

Playing pieces a half tone sharp ("scordatura") might work with Paganini or Biber. With Faure and Franck it sounds downright weird.

Come on folks, reissue these properly, so that they could get 5 stars."
