CD Reviews

Definitive, but seemingly very obscure for some reason

(5 out of 5 stars)

"First of all, in addition to this recording, I have many others (see my guide) & this one is head & shoulders above all of them. Kantorow's playing is much more smooth & fluid & natural than the others' halting/jerky style (example: compare the beginning of the Chaconne in each recording). He sounds like he just casually just picked up his violin & started playing, as opposed to other recordings which sounds tense and rushed. The sarabandes are extra slow & moving; the minor pieces are extra creepy/spooky; & the major pieces are extra happy/carefree, etc. I also like very much how the recording miked; it's not in-your-face close, nor does it sound like Kantorow is playing in a tiled bathroom. It's just right. I assume that this is a fairly obscure recording given that nobody has reviewed it yet, so I think it's far too under-listened-to. It's up there with Glenn Gould's 1955 recording of the Goldberg Variations (in my collection anyway)."
