This is a work I tend to prefer on period instruments.  The best I've heard
is Weil on Sony with Vera Beths(sp?); the coupling is Beethoven's fifth
piano concerto.

I have been waiting to get my hands on a newer period instrument version,
Zehetmair/Bruggen on Philips.  To my surprise, Gramophone gives it the top
recommendation for the violin concerto.  That is odd considering that the
magazine should not have a HIP bias and all the outstanding modern
instrument accounts that are available.  Has anyone heard the Zehetmair,
and is it that good?
