CD Reviews

Powerful performance by Bashmet
03/17/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a very powerful rendition of Schnittke's Viola Concerto performed by the great Yuri Bashmet. Although it is played a bit slower than the later live performance on DVD, it is just as intense and emotionally moving. The orchestra is also very clear and strong. The sound quality is much better than Bashmet's earlier recording with Rodzhdestvensky even though the earlier recording brings out certain details more than this one.Overall this is an excellent recording, and in my opinion the gold standard of the Schnittke Viola Concerto."
More than excellent
