John Deacon reports from a review by "one of those dreadful chauvinistic
British critics" on the Hahn/Zinman Beethoven/Bernstein concerto recording:
>No new interpretative insights are reached; but neither are there any
>annoyances, unless you include the work's coupling (Bernstein's Serenade
>for violin, strings and percussion) or the predictable photos of Hahn
>showing bare shoulders and looking sexy.
