5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, July 11, 2004
By 
This review is from: Violin for Anne Rice (Audio CD)
This is the first Classical collection I have ever bought and I will not lie. I bought it because it had something to do with Anne Rice. But when I started to listen to it, I was blown away. Leila has amazing talent and she is just so good. Brava.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Age of the Info-Critic, February 24, 2006
By 
This review is from: Violin for Anne Rice (Audio CD)
Most critics are a self-doubting bunch and some review books, CDs or restaurants without benefit of first-hand experience. Or, as is the case here, they introduce unrelated material in order to bolster their pre-set opinion. This is a stunning CD, deeply romantic and satisfying. Yes, it is parochial and one whose origins are the stuff of fiction but does that invalidate the virtuosity and lushness? I enjoyed the music immensely even though I stopped reading the Vampire series after the second book. At times the music soars and I too have thought of "old" New Orleans many times while listening to this recording. Rush out and buy it now!

4.0 out of 5 stars Studied but Stunning, April 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Violin for Anne Rice (Audio CD)
While some young musical prodigies work with laser-like precision to showcase their technical skill, with this disc, Josefowicz goes straight for the heartstrings. One pictures her swaying violently and plunging the bow onto to the strings. However, most of the credit for this excellent work must be given to Rice, who chose the album's energetic Romantic selections which showcase Josefowicz's style and perfectly illustrate why the violin is the one instrument most associated with strong emotion. If only her accompanying book was half as good.
