I am rather allergic to her playing I am afraid . No comment on her undoubted talent but a matter of taste I suppose . I found those excerpts on CD Review fascinating but wearing .
I still think 50 minutes rather short playing time .
On a positive note this new Uchida Schumann Second Sonata is captivating !

Originally posted by Sir Velo View PostI see that, according to the CD Review Newsletter, Harriet Smith will be reviewing a selection of recent violin sonatas and cantatas (sic) this morning. I must confess that the combination of solo violin and cantata is a new one to me.
For those of us unable to listen live, I hope that the iplayer version will be available this week.

He was very complimentary - sufficiently so to have me immediately download it from Qobuz. If not quite replacing Kondrashin (x3) and Raiskin in my affections, it is a very good addition to the catalogue. Excellent orchestral playing and a firm grasp of the overall structure of the work. I wish that Naxos (or someone else) might be persuaded to record VP in Elgar's 1st - another work where a firm grasp of where it's all going pays dividends and in which VP excelled when I heard him conduct it last year with the LSO.
