4.0 out of 5 stars Caution to the Wind, February 10, 2000
By A Customer
Sarah is my favorite violinist and has been for years. I have most of her CD's. Her technical and emotional mastery is nothing short of miraculous for her age. But be aware that five of these pieces appear on two of her previous releases; "Simply Sarah" and "Debut Recital".

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy listening Chang, March 8, 2006
This collection, consisting mostly of reissues, showcases Chang's expressive qualities, with the emphasis being mostly on the slow and dreamy side of her art. One has the feeling that the producers envisioned this disc as background music for a romantic candlelight dinner or some such, and for that purpose it is perfectly sufficient. Chang, of course, is a major violinist and none of the playing here is less than topnotch. As a musical experience for connoisseurs, however, "Sweet Sorrow" has its drawbacks, chief among them being the sameness of mood and tempo. Also, the inclusion of fragments of works such the Vieuxtemps Fifth Concerto and the Tchaikovsky Concerto is musically unsatisfying; the latter is particularly irritating as it leaves the end of the slow movement simply hanging. It may be of some significance that some of the most engaging playing from Chang is heard on the earliest tracks, the Chopin Nocturne and Liszt Consolation, recorded in her child prodigy days; here a genuine love for the music comes through that is somewhat muffled in most of the other selections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, September 8, 2001
By A Customer
I received this CD for my birthday and loved it. The Chaconne in particular is very expressive and beautiful; it really tells a story. The accompaniment is also amazing, the effect is much more dramatic when you have a full orchestra backing you up. Maybe the selection of music could have been a bit more varied, but I was still extremely upset when I left it in a rental car CD player.

The Vitali Chaccone was nice. However, I find her vibrato to be wide and wobbly at times. I purchased this CD only because I needed a recording of the Vitali. Read more
