Gramophone review:
"In his LP review RF spoke of the wonderfully clear digital recording and this is heard to best advantage in its CD format. There is splendid definition and good perspective throughout the range. Jaap Schroder uses a Steiner from 1665 and very beautiful it sounds too, producing an almost veiled sound on the G string in the slow movement of the A minor. The brisk tempo takes some getting used to, though the artists relax just a little when it is established and Schroder infuses just the right amount of expressive rubato at bar 13. All three slow movements are shorn of the halo of Romanticism. It is true, of course, that this music would not have been presented with an aura of being a masterpiece though in the case of the E major Concerto, I am not sure that the music does not emerge in some way diminished in stature. Occasionally I found the vibratoless, nasal, raw string tone unpleasing but there is much that is thought-provoking here, and much to admire as well, intelligent direction and accomplished solo playing." |
