CD ReviewsHistoric indeed John Lowe | Dearborn, Michigan USA | 11/23/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "The CD of this album issued in the '80s on the ``Great Performances'' label refers to this as a historic recording. I can see why. This is Stern at his absolute peak. I haven't heard another performance of either piece to match what he does here. The final movement of the Tchaikovsky will cause you to tie down loose objects near your speakers -- the gale is that strong." Still the Best Phillip L. Actor | Morgan Hill, CA USA | 11/19/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I've listened to these two pieces by a number of artists and enjoyed most of them. However, half way through I'm ready to look for the old worn tape of this CD. Sterns' power is inspiring. I can and do listen to this over and over. Youngsters take note, if your reaching for greatness this is your mark." Major dissapointment Dennis M. Desantis | 12/02/2004 (1 out of 5 stars) "This is a SACD fiasco. I had hoped that Sony would work that same magic as they did with the Szell SACD reissues which create a wonderful soundtage with depth and great string sound. No such luck. The orchestra is 2 dimensional and so congested that it's diffcult to make out the individual instruments. Stern's violin playing is gorgeous but he is so loud and upfront that this SACD images like a violin solo in front of wallpaper. I guess the engineers monkeyed so much with the Phila recordings that great sound is impossible. What a shame."
