This review is from: Tchaikovsky: Trio in A Minor, Op. 50/Brahms: Trio in E-flat, Op. 40 for Piano, Violin and Horn (Audio CD)

It is a little ridiculous to have the violin over-powering the horn in the Brahms Horn Trio. When the cello and violin are in octaves during Tchaikovsky, the violin also overwhelms the cello. I know that Nadja is the big name that sells this CD, but I liked her playing the least of the bunch, and it is reprehensible to alter the balance so much in chamber music.

Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg is quite possibly the best live musician of our time. Maybe ever. The violin is the most expressive instrument there is. Any recording with her is more than worth having. I know some have said that she is too "aggressive".

I call it passion, and how can you have too much passion playing music? Everyone agrees she is a stunning virtuoso. Add to that the most genuine, firey, and sensitive passion, and you have Nadja.

This CD arrived, as promised, in excellent condition and promptly. Excellent service from this reseller. Interesting how so many people seem to be mad about Salerno-Sonnenberg these days! Guess

Thank you all.
