5.0 out of 5 stars Passion and technique like I have never heard before!, November 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Locatelli: L'Arte del Violino - Elizabeth Wallfisch / The Raglan Baroque Players / Nicholas Kraemer (Audio CD)

I most highly recommend this CD. I have owned it for several years and never tire of it. The life and zest of the recording are hard to describe. Elizabeth Wallfisch plays like she IS the instrument. Elegant, graceful, and charming! If you are not familiar with the difficulty of the selections, you will be awestruck by the end. I hope my report is glowing enough to make you listen to this--because it is definitely worth your time and consideration.

5.0 out of 5 stars violin playing to blow you away!, February 19, 2002

This review is from: Locatelli: L'Arte del Violino - Elizabeth Wallfisch / The Raglan Baroque Players / Nicholas Kraemer (Audio CD)

Locatelli was quite a character (as you will read in the cover notes)! This CD is one of the best violin pieces I have heard. In its intricacy, range, and sheer vitality and vivacity this CD is unique. Elizabeth Wallfish's playing is without doubt unsurpassable. The whole thing is stunning and wonderful. I can listen to it again and again. I would recommend this to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stellar violine play, June 7, 2008

This review is from: Locatelli: L'Arte del Violino - Elizabeth Wallfisch / The Raglan Baroque Players / Nicholas Kraemer (Audio CD)

Novices and hardcore baroque fans alike: When you buy this CD be prepared to be silenced and stopped in your tracks. You heard Spivakov, Van Zweden or Perlman play live from 15 yards and thought it was violin nirvana? Be prepared for a shock. You read historic accounts of how tremendously well Locatelli and Paganini played the violin? This CD sounds as if that's where it is going. Play this CD in the car and the miles will roll away as if Einstein is at work...
