This is the world's first SA-CD hybrid 2-disc set, combining two concertos recorded for DG by the famous Russian violinist Milstein (1903-92) and a collection of short pieces. His recording career spanned over half a century, beginning with SP Records in 1932 and ending on CD with "The Last Recital" in June 1986. And he recorded his best works more than once. The recordings contained in this two-disc set are from 1972-75, when he was at his most mature. Except for "Consolation No. 3", all of them are the last recordings.
Here, while maintaining the stability of his youthful technique and outstandingly beautiful sound, he added a deep taste to his old age. The depth of interpretation in the Brahms Violin Concerto, which has been recorded twice, is wonderful, and he himself says that compared to his previous records, it is "a more romantic interpretation" and that "people progress in the direction that the music demands." ' said. After the self-composed cadenza of the 1st movement, the violin sings the theme softly in the coda.
The 1972 recording of Tchaikovsky and the 1973 recording of Mendelssohn are both relaxed and extremely supple, sophisticated, and surprisingly noble performances compared to previous recordings. Tchaikovsky does not play the original version, but his original version, which is based on the Auer version and adds his own ideas.
All three concertos are backed by the Wiener Philharmoniker, and while Jochum has a heavy and tasteful sound mainly due to the strings, the young Abbado shows a bright sound and light rhythm that emphasizes woodwinds, and the individuality of the two stands out. increase.
"Violin Recital" recorded in 1975 is a collection of masterpieces that will take your breath away. The timbre, technique, and form have been refined to perfection, and the music is filled with an inviolable elegance, yet at the same time possesses a tolerant power that gently envelops the listener. The improvement in sound quality is the most remarkable in this album, and it is a masterpiece that the sound image and tone of the realistic violin and the piano with increased presence are reproduced on the stage.
