4.0 out of 5 stars Tasteful, balanced, September 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dvorak / Suk: Music for Violin (Audio CD)

I found the Dvorak Concerto satisfying all around, and the third movement is the strongest rendition I've heard. Frank and Mackerras work as equal partners, smoothly shaping phrases and trading roles, together every step of the way. I thought the orchestra sounded fine. Dvorak didn't write tutti blowouts in this piece.

You don't hear the Suk Fantasy every day, so I'm glad they recorded it. Although the difficulty of the solo part shows in a couple of spots, Frank delivers the goods in spirited fashion. If you like a hot-blooded romantic piece with a broad range of colors bright and dark, check this one out.

This is one of my favorite CDs. The Suk and Dvorak could not be any better. I recommend this recording to anyone who loves good violin music.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful CD with exiting upbeat music that keeps, March 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dvorak / Suk: Music for Violin (Audio CD)

This Cd is wonderful and has a beautiful sound. It has a wonderful violinist and a great orchestra that keeps me listening to the same CD over and over again. Not many people would expect a 12 year old to be saying this about a classical Cd but this is by far one of the best pieces and one of the best violinist in the history of music.
