JOHANNES BRAHMS / FELIX MENDELSSOHN
Brahms/Mendelssohn: Violin Concertos Joseph Szigeti (violin) / Hallé Orchestra; London Philharmonic Orchestra [ Naxos Historical Great Violinists / CD - released 31/Dec/2001 ] "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 |
