5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Concertos, August 29, 2003

This review is from: Great Romantic Violin Concertos in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)

Three of the greatest concertos for violin ever composed are in this volume.

With concertos by Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky, it is impossible to determine which is superior of the three. Each is such a masterwork that it has to stand by itself. Dover's edition is easy to read, clearly printed, and as usual is inexpensive.

By the way, there is but one other violin concerto that is in the same league as these three, and that is the one by Brahms. But have no fear, Dover has a volume of Brahms' concertos that includes the violin concerto! Recommended for the dedicated music lover!

This review is from: Great Romantic Violin Concertos in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)

Superb book - clear and easy to read. Three of the very best concertos for violin and orchestra in the one book - as they should be! One should purchase this book to appreciate these works to their full potential. A must have for anyone who is studying these works from an academic point of view or for the general listener who wishes to further enhance their listening pleasure or their general musical knowledge.
