BRUCH & GLAZUNOV - Violin Concertos (Sealed) (LP)

Two lyrical staples of the romantic violin concerto repertoire are here recorded in a warm, big-toned, relaxed treatment that suits them perfectly. The sound is good in both mono and stereo, with the solo violin standing out well from the orchestra. What stereo accomplishes here is to give greater expansiveness to the tone and to eliminate a slight boxed-in feeling which, in the monophonic version, is imparted by the fairly close to solo microphone. High Fidelity Erica Morini plays it in exactly the right style – gently and delicately, without any attempt to over-emotionalise it or inflate it in the grand manner; this is a delightful performance. - Gramophone
