CD Reviews

Hearty performances of these works.
George N. Fabian | Mountainside, USA | 12/24/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I liked these performances when I heard them on LP in the early sixties and I enjoy them now. Perhaps they are more "English Roast Beef" than "German Sauerbraten" in conception and execution and it may be that they do not appeal to purists who prefer the original instrument approach. I find them immensly appealing and find them good value for the money especially since they are on the budget Seraphim label."
Warm-hearted renditions
Gregory M. Zinkl | Chicago, IL | 02/01/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"For fans of Menhuin, this recording is a must. While there are many delightful recordings of the Brandenburgs, few come as inexpensively as this one (the set by Schwarz on this label is less satisfying), and as satisfying.The sound is a little dry, which can seem to over-emphasize slight blemishes in ensemble. However, a small price to pay for joyful performances, with Menhuin's elegant (if sometimes less than perfect) playing. I especially enjoy numbers 1, 2, and 6 on these discs. If you are unfamiliar with these works, these discs make a fine introduction."
A triumphant passionate recording
Penumbra | Atlanta, GA USA | 12/30/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Whatever this 1959 recording is lacking by today's technical standards, it makes up for in sheer passion. Menuhin was an artist capable of bringing his audiences to exuberant joy or inexplicable weeping. This delightful recording is a real bargain at this price!"
