Dear List, I just want to report a compact disc release that is wonderful:
Kreisler's acoustic Bruch and his second electrical Brahms. The Bruch,
to my surprise, is so beautiful that it transcends the limitation of the
recording technology. It is a must-hear for fans of this concerto or
violinist. Kreisler never re-made it. The Brahms is exquisite (his first
one was too) but this has his own cadenza and it is very beautiful, perfect
in fact. The disc costs less than 6 dollars.
