"Beecham and Szigeti were felicitous partners, who scaled two peaks: this patrician performance of Mendelssohn, both subtle and incisive, and the Prokofiev First Concerto, to this day nonpareil... The problem that Mark Obert-Thorn faced in his startlingly fine transfer of Brahms was the disparity of pitches from side to side on the original 78s. You'd never know, though, from the pains taken to match them." ClassicalCD
