4 out of 5 stars Mostly Magnificent Menuhin, with a Few Reservations.......2004-01-06

The recent trend toward classical box sets focusing on the performer instead of the composer (see my reviews of the various DG/Decca "Original Masters" sets) continues with EMI's new "Yehudi Menuhin - The Violinist." Sure EMI's past sets have showcased individual performances by Samson Francois, Eugen Jochum and Rudolf Kempe to name a few, but it was always under the heading of a given composer's works, and in the cases mentioned above, to Chopin's piano pieces, Bruckner's Symphonies and Strauss' Orchestral Works respectively. Therefore, this Menuhin collection is the first of EMI's "Budget Box Sets" to showcase a performer playing the works of a variety of composers.

As Menuhin was an EMI recording artist for an incredible 68 years (1931-99), his performances for the label number in the hundreds. With so much music from which to choose, this 10-disc set aims "to highlight some of those alternative versions, including recordings that have not been easily available since the days of LP and others that have never previously appeared on CD." Therefore, the obvious mainstream, easily attainable recordings are omitted here -- for example, the Beethoven/Mendelssohn VCs with Furtwangler, the Elgar VC with the composer conducting, and the Bruch/Mendelssohn VCs with Susskind and Kurtz.

However, a lot of this material has been on disc before on titles which the serious collector most likely already owns. Most of the Bach is currently available as part of the Bach "Budget Box Series" title. The Bruch, Mendelssohn, Brahms and Vivaldi VCs were all available in the now out-of-print 2CD EMI Seraphim series. The Elgar and the Walton are still available in the "British Composers" series. And perhaps most annoyingly, the previously unpublished Beethoven VC and Tchaikovsky "Serenade melancolique" (available as a single disc), and the Beethoven Romance No. 2 (available on an EMI Encore title) were both reissued just a few months back.

But let's focus on the positive, which are the other rare performances, the most significant being the never before reissued 1954 performance of Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 4 with John Pritchard and the Philharmonia. Other elusive recordings include Viuextemps and Paganini VCs with Fistoulari, Lalo and Saint-Saens works with Goossens, and excellent Berg and Bartok accounts with Boulez. Though I'm delighted at their inclusion, of lesser importance is a 1965 Bartok VC No. 2 with Dorati -- his mono EMI with Furtwangler and an earlier account with Dorati on Mercury Living Presence are far superior. Also, neither the Sibelius (Boult, 1955) nor Nielsen (Woldike, 1952) Concertos are truly Menuhin's cups of tea.

My last complaint has to do with the packaging. I know I'm being rather trite but it seems that EMI has taken the "slim" out of slim, paper-sleeved box sets with their latest batch of releases. Both this title and the new box of Liszt Orchestral Works by Masur are noticeably thicker than previous EMI sets featuring a similar number of discs. A minor point, but us serious classical collectors need every centimeter of space on our increasingly crowded CD shelves, not to mention the amount of wasted packaging.

Overall though, despite the fact that "Yehudi Menuhin - The Violinist" is not as essential a reissue as its counterparts in the "Original Masters" series, it is a delightful set that most collectors will thoroughly enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Stern + Szell = Sensational!.......2003-09-23

Volume 3 of violinist Isaac Stern's "A Life in Music" series is (appropriately) a three-disc set featuring Mozart's five Violin Concertos, and other orchestral works for the instrument. This collection was originally issued in Sony's "Mozart - Legendary Interpretations" series and fortunately it has been reissued here. (Note to Sony - follow suit and reissue the rest of Szell's Symphonies and Ormandy's Wind Concertos!) As indicated above, three different men -- George Szell, Alexander Schneider and Daniel Barenboim -- conduct the works on this disc. The Szell performances date from the early 1960s -- Concertos Nos. 1 & 3 are from January 1961 while No. 5 is from April 1963. The Barenboim recordings are from 1971 (Sinfonia Concertante K364) and 1973 (Concertone K190). Finally, the Schneider accounts -- Concertos Nos. 2 & 4, Adagio K261 and Rondo K373 -- are all from February 1976. All are in stereo. It is my opinion that these performances, particularly those with Szell, are the best available, and the only other set comparable is the Grumiaux/Davis on Philips (see my review). Of course, if you don't want to buy 3 CDs worth of Mozart Violin works, you can always buy the Sony "Great Performances" title featuring the very same recordings of Concertos Nos. 4 & 5.

Album Description

"What a good idea to include the violin concerto movements from the Haffner Serenade as a filler, rather than the more usual group of extra movements for violin and orchestra. The Serenade shows the 20-year-old Mozart with his imagination at full stretch; Frank, Zinman and the Zurich orchestra revel in the wit, the sensuous expressiveness and the melodic fecundity of this still neglected music. Pamela Frank gives us, here and throughout the two discs, violin playing of great technical purity...The music speaks to us, naturally and without any affectation, yet respecting Mozart's indications, and such 18th-century conventions as tailing off the weak beats of the bar. She's given a splendidly positive, well-considered accompaniment...Frank's tone and bowing are more traditional but she has an equally strong ability to bring the music to life, and she's supported by an unusually characterful orchestra and very crisp, clear recording. A very strong recommendation, then - it's a fantastic bargain."-GRAMOPHONE (April 2000)

3 out of 5 stars Four stars for Frank's delightful playing.......2007-02-05

A lot of critics liked this set when it came out. Amazon chose the review by one of them to accompany its space here. Gramophone may have recommended this based on inclusion of the Haffner serenade excerpts but it would have been a better bargain had the entire serenade been included and not just a couple bleeding chunks.

Otherwise, this is a fine embodiment of Pamela Frank's playing -- straightforward, stylistic, dimensional, warm and consistent -- in Mozart's five youthful concertos. She plays delightfully throughout and is the reason to buy this set, which offers the entire ouevre of Mozart's work in solo violin concerti at a discount price. Zinman restricts his desire to push speeds beyond the boundaries of good taste and offers good support for the soloist throughout the cycle. His orchestra plays well with a few spotlit solo instruments.

Still, I wouldn't call this the greatest work I've ever heard in this repertoire, even among discount versions. The archtype set of concertos with Grumiaux playing and Davis conducting is available for about the same price. You can get two CDs of concerti plus some other stuff played by Zukerman for about the same price if you're willing to put up with scrappy support. It's worth it insofar as Zukerman is twice the fiddler.

If you just want the better concertos, an excellent cheapie CD of Concerti 3-5 features Christian Tetzlaff playing and conducting the German Chamber Orchestra on a discount Virgin CD that was taken from the entire set for those forces. The best account I know of the Haffner serenade is by Karl Munchinger and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. It's available through Haydn House for $10.

5 out of 5 stars Fine music.......2006-03-11

There is no need to talk about this product. Just buy and enjoy. Superb performance. Although the recording is ADD, it sounds like DDD. I do recommend it to all Mozart fans.

5 out of 5 stars Mozart.......2005-10-07

I originally bought this for my college age daughter for her music class. The sound quality is great and the selection of pieces gives a good sense of Mozart.

5 out of 5 stars Sinfonia Concertante at its best!.......2001-10-20

Yes, I have to agree with the reviewer who praised this CD for its Sinfonia Concertante. The only other comparable recording that I've ever heard is Oistrakh/Barshai performance, that I could find, unfortunately, only on an old LP by Melodya.

1 out of 5 stars Pure disapointment !.......2001-02-03

The performance is may be O.K. but the sound quality is so bad that listening to this CD is a pain. The price is tempting, but believe me it's not worth it. Buy instead the performance by Mutter.

5 out of 5 stars Best performance of Mozart's Symphonia Concertante.......2000-08-04

This CD, recorded in the early 1960-ies is a real treasure. Beside Menuhin's superb performance, it has something really unique - Barshai's Viola playing that is the greatest viola playing that I have ever heard! His rare recording truly makes this CD one of the best releases of Mozart's music, especially Symphonia Concertante.

    5 out of 5 stars MOZART VIOLIN CONCERTOS LOWER SUGAR 110 POINTS.......2002-07-11

    Stock market debacle drove my blood sugar to 212. Two and a half hours later Zukerman's Violin Concertos lowered it to 102. Mozart at 19 fits Zukerman at 35. Too bad so many performers stop playing to conduct. Too bad the fine Jewish Americans, who have kept classical music alive, are not being recorded by American music conglomerates who are owned by Japan, Britain or Germany. Later Mozart is sometimes to frenetic for me. The youth, purity, and joy of Mozart's violin concertos are for me.

    5 out of 5 stars Stupendous Schneiderhan.......2005-04-14

    The most recent batch of DG's "Original Masters" box sets boasts several titles that will leave classical collectors rejoicing, "Wolfgang Schneiderhan: The 1950s Concerto Recordings" foremost among them. This 5CD set features the then Deutsche Grammophon "house fiddler" in brilliant performances of Vivaldi, Tartini, Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Bruch, Mozart, Mendelssohn and Martin Violin Concertos. In some of my previous reviews of box sets in the OM series, I have been critical of what the powers that be at UNI have done in terms of their selection of material, but here they got it almost perfect. Instead of duplicating a title in DG's "Originals" series that couples Schneiderhan's stereo recordings of the Beethoven VC and Mozart No. 5, they reissue his earlier, and better, mono accounts here. By contrast, they reissue the violinist's stereo performance of Mozart's 4th Concerto (1960 with Schmidt-Isserstedt) on this set because his 1956 mono account had already been included in the Hans Rosbaud title in this series. (Thankfully, the duplication lesson seemingly has been learned after they put the very same Dvorak Cello Concerto recording on both the Josef Krips and Zara Nelsova OM boxes!) Also of note here are a magical Mendelssohn VC with Fricsay, brilliant Bach 1041-1043s and an invigorating Four Seasons, the set's only other stereo selection along with the Mozart VC4. This set alas has one minor problem in my opinion. Because DG and Decca are now all part of Universal, Schneiderhan's performance of the Martin Concerto with Ansermet, originally made for Decca and currently available on a "Double Decca" title devoted to the composer, is included here. It is unnecessary duplication for me but others may not care. Personally I would have nixed the Bach Partita included on CD2 (hello, the title is "Concerto Recordings") and the Martin to make this a tidier four disc set. But even as is, "Wolfgang Schneiderhan: The 1950s Concerto Recordings" is one of the true gems in the "Original Masters" series.

    5 out of 5 stars A Very Pleasurable Mix.......2005-10-29

    I still consider myself a rock music fan, but received this CD/album as a Christmas gift in 1995, and have listened to it in my car countless times. It contains a very nice assortment of familiar arrangements performed brillantly by various orchestras. Even if the title doesn't ring a bell, chances are you've heard these songs before and can connect with them. My wife's favorite is "Canon" (she's a diehard romantic) and I'm partial to "Fanfare" (Masterpiece Theater's old theme). Guaranteed to mellow you out while stuck in rush-hour traffic.

    5 out of 5 stars Good for beginners........1999-01-16

    For those of us who think we would like classical music but have no idea where to start or what to buy, this is a good CD. I now have a small classical music library which gives me a great deal of pleasure, but this was one of my first selections. I still enjoy it. I recommend it to friends who are beginning to enjoy classical music and need a place to start.
