Jules and I saw her play baroque material at The Barbican and she was mighty impressive.

I'd just love to be able to play this on the system but it will have to be headphones - it had to be good with the talent in the ensemble. Decca aren't the most imaginative label so doubt they wanted to push the boat out too far with this one! I suppose we should be grateful.  |

Inspired by Benedetti's Baroque, onto her dominating and aggressive view of the Elgar violin concerto.
I enjoy this as a valid alternative to the usual pallid and over sentimental (by comparison) performances.
I've seen this recording dismissed out of hand in some reviews, usually American, who often like to have a dig at anything British that gets good reviews in the British press. There are a lot of Anglophobe reviewers out there!

I was reading a review of "Baroque" and this is an album that was mentioned in comparison featuring Carmignola playing Viv, Locatelli and Tartini. I expect it to have a less intense flavour than NB.

Yes, you're right. Less intense (and more subtle) playing compared to NB who comes over as rather full-bore, set the volume at 11 in comparison.
NB has the less interesting programme as well for me. I do like Tartini's violin concerti.

I'm happy to have both for different moods!
I love Tartini also.
Do you know this recording?
Was a great discovery for me last year.

My favourite Tartini album so far.
Emile Tassev, violin soloist.

4h6m of Vivaldi's complete cello concertos to be had here.
About 2h in and still interestingly varied.
Ofra Harnoy.

Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique I was playing this for a friend on Sunday and then again last night. It's a very realistic recording and great performance. open.qobuz.com/track/5164730 |
