Free Music Review: Among the very best
Hit: 5 Stars
I got several performances of this concerto. Only two are as good - or almost as good - as the present one, although different: the brisk and structural Heifetz/Reiner and the varm and colourful Oistrakh/Klemperer. I should mention the intense Stern/Ormandy as well, but on that the recorded sound is a little hard and there is less sense of expectation (in my humble opinon).
What is striking about Mullova's playing here is her passion, her melancoly, how she takes opportunity to express the moods of the music. If you think that this should be taken for granted, I agree, but unfortunatly it cannot; it is that little extra making the difference between the good performances and the rare ones.
Abbado conducts with a lot of spark. Acutally he did so on the much praised performance with Shaham as well, but the soloists make the difference, Shaham doing something new, Mullova something great.
The recording sound is good, without being the very best.
Summa summarum: This is a CD that makes me less satisfied with performances I used to enjoy.
