Quite a few years ago I bought two Mozart/Menuhin symphony cd's on Virgin
at full price. More recently, they were reduced to mid-price. However,
with Virgin joining the EMI stable, I have no idea if the recordings are
available in the U.S.
I haven't played the two cd's in a long time so I'm going from memory.
Reviews at the time of initial release were generally good, but I am
surprised that Gramophone rates Menuhin as best for nos. 40 & 41. I found
the performances good but not at the top of the pile. Lately, Virgin has
been reissuing 2-cd packages at a very low price. Perhaps Menuhin's two
discs are among them.
