I will join the throng of positive reviews for this outstanding bargain CD.
I own/have owned numerous performances of the magisterial Brahms Violin Concerto but have never been satisfied with any of them, including Heifetz/Reiner (actually, ESPECIALLY Heifetz/Reiner!). While there are many wonderful recordings of his chamber music, I've always felt that interpretations of his orchestral music in general--the Violin Concerto in particular--have been much more problematic. There are great recordings out there, but too many times I feel like conductors just don't 'get' Brahms' large-scale orchestral works (the Serenades, Overtures are understandably less problematic).
This performance by Milstein and Fistoulari, however, gets it just right in my opinion: the perfect balance of lush, expressive Romanticism and attention to line, texture and rhythm. On the basis of this performance, Milstein has become one of my very favorite violinists. Along with Grumiaux/Haskil playing Beethoven's "Kreutzer" Sonata, this is one of my treasures of violin playing.
The Tchaikovsky Concerto has never really appealed to me much so I'll refrain from commenting on it--many others here have done so, so you can take their word(s) for it.
For $4, repeat: FOUR DOLLARS (!), this is an essential purchase. Thank you Nathan, thank you EMI, thank you Amazon!
