Dvorak Violin Concerto - favourite recording

[Tony Halstead]

Thanks, Tony... that will be a grand starting point for me!

Richard Tognetti has made a more recent recording of the Dvorak, perhaps 2 or 3 years ago (the one we did with the A.C.O. was nearly 20 years ago). It's on 'BIS', coupled with the Legends. The orchestra, 'Nordic Chamber Orchestra' conducted by Christian Lindberg, it must be said, is no match for Tognetti's own Australian Chamber Orchestra. The poor chap has had to put up with brass-player conductors (fortunately not conducting 'from the trombone / french horn'!) on both his recordings of the Dvorak.

Do you mean this one - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ida-Haendel.../dp/B003AXNSHQ ? Most probably.

That can be found on streaming services (Google Play music; also on Naxos Music Library. (NML: http://www.for3.org/forums/showthrea...-library/page2 )).

There was a Dutton re-issue of an earlier recording which can be searched out, but 2nd hand copies are a bit pricey and I'm not sure which version was so highly recommended. (EDIT - The Dutton is NSO Rankl)

This is the Dutton one - https://classical-pippo9.blogspot.co...concertos.html which I'm pretty sure is the same recording as the one in the Milestones of a Legend box set.

Here is that one - though you might find it cheaper if you look around - https://www.europadisc.co.uk/classic...lin_Legend.htm

It does indeed appear to have been originally recorded in July 1947, whereas the Haenssler one is much more recent.
