A Violinist's Violin List

The list author says:
	"Bartók's 2:nd concerto and solo sonata: some supercharged super-luxury playing by mad genious Ivry Gitlis."

The list author says:
	"Hearing Jascha Heifetz in Elgar's concerto (I suffer from a severe periodic addiction) makes me feel that this is the only way to play it. Other recordings seem unimportant. Don't wait -buy it!"

The list author says:
	"Enescu: a monumental masterpiece, given a ravishing interpretation by teenage Yehudi and his sister Hephzibah."

The list author says:
	"Especially the Rondo in B minor is given an incredibly exciting, technically perfect, sparkling and bouncing performance, that easily beats Kremer, Milstein and anyone else."

The list author says:
	"Usually not among my favourite players, Mutter (with the brilliant Chicago SO) here seem to do most things right in what is possibly the best recording of the greatest 20:th century violin concerto."

The list author says:
	"Claire de lune (Debussy). Vogel als Prophet (Schumann). With Heifetz!"

The list author says:
	"Beethoven 2:nd movement: so incredibly sweet yet noble! Most beautiful violin sound all categories? Probably. The very essence of western culture? Possibly. An obvious Great Buy? Well, a Must Buy."

The list author says:
	"While having recorded only these 9 bagatelles, Josef Hassid is somehow one of the Greatest. Beats Heifetz in Achron's Melody, with a more sensitive approach. Tragedy ended his career much too early."

The list author says:
	"Self-recommending super bargain box with the elegant maestro. Lots of concerto, chamber and solo recordings, including his classic 50's complete solo Bach account, preferable to his 70's DG version."

The list author says:
	"C-major sonata with fugue, D-minor partita with Chaconne. Noble and athletic, even a bit frightening. I believe this playing will impress listeners of any direction of taste. Just open your ears!"

The list author says:
	"Maybe an odd choice for a violin list but check it out anyway! Sublime beauty in these two masterpieces with an obvious key- and thematic relationship but very different in charactere."

The list author says:
	"Two more indispensable Heifetz classics. Korngold! Waxman! Violin ecstasy."

The list author says:
	"Franco Gulli, uniquely gentle, elegant and neat, is clearly one of the most perfect players we will hear, up there with Nathan & Jascha. Deserves much greater fame -and a rerelease. Buy all you can!!!"

The list author says:
	"Enescu's own (with the great Lipatti on piano) great recording of his 3rd sonata. Get it if you can!"

The list author says:
	"Alternative edition of the abovementioned Enescu-Lipatti collaboration. Attractive collection crowned by the unreal 3rd v&p sonata."

The list author says:
	"Gitlis in Paganini -not to be missed. Check YouTube for a sample of La Campanella."

The list author says:
	"Thibaud and Long in Mozart's A major sonata K.526. Desert island quality."

The list author says:
	"Oistrakh at his smoothest -and freshest."

The list author says:
	"My old favourite in Paganini Capricci."

The list author says:
	"My new favourite -it was a wonderful surprise for me how fantastic this is."

The list author says:
	"Artistically and technically superb. A remarkable level of intonation accuracy -almost frightening."

The list author says:
	"A very good contemporary recording of Enescu's majestic 3rd sonata for violin and piano, plus the delightful Impressions d'enfance and Ravel's Tzigane."

The list author says:
	"Absolutely unforgettable performances by the spectacular Maestro Gitlis. These recordings used to be really rare jewels until recently, with this truly sensational bargain reissue."

The list author says:
	"Superb interpretation by Szigeti and Arrau, recommended ("-besides Heifetz, of course.") to me by my dear violin teacher, Professor Henryk Kowalski."

The list author says:
	"Heifetz in Chausson's Concerto Op. 21 is such a treat! One I often come back to -one of my absolute Heifetz favourites. It immediately needs wider distribution."
