Joseph Achron, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

Outstanding
I love the violin and this collection is one of my favorites. A great choice for someone like me who doesn't know enough about music and never knows what to buy. It has introduced me to some artists and pieces that I knew nothing about and will help me know what to ...

The First Recordings of Ginette Neveu; The Complete Recordings of Josef Hassid

Joseph Achron, Frederic Chopin, ...

Testament UK, 1993

Pathos and beauty luminate in Hassid's complete recordings
I have grown up listening to many, many violinists, but was never exposed to Josef Hassid until a few months ago, after watching the "Great Violinists of the 20th Century," a documentary. Hassid was mentioned briefly in the section of the film devoted to child ...

Discovering Russia, 1910 - 1940, Vol. 2: The New Jewish School
Joseph Achron, Lazare Saminsky, ...

Eda Edition Abseits, 1999

Enescu, Bartók, Szymanowski: Works for Violin & Piano

Joseph Achron, Bela Bartok, ...

Decca, 2000

Frolicking with Ida and Vladimir
Nearly a generation before Glenn Gould's towering 1955 recording of the Goldberg variations, Ida Haendel had recorded Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Kreisler and others on Decca. About a generation after Gould's 1982 swansong reprise of the Goldbergs, Ida Haendel was ...

Introducing World of American Jewish Music [Milken Archive of American Jewish Music]

Kevin Deas, Yaron Windmuller, ...

Milken Archive, 2003

Wonderful introduction to a distinguished new series
I can't express how excited I am about this new series from Naxos and the Milken Archive! There is some absolutely stunning music on this sampler, and I can't wait until the full recordings are released. Especially notable are Ernst Toch's "Cantata of the Bitter Herbs" ...

Hebrew Melodies of the Romantic Era

Joseph Achron, Ernest Bloch, ...

JADE RECORDS, 2008

A Masterpiece Stands by Itself
This is without doubt one of my best purchases of the year. The music is beautiful. Ms. Durin has an exceptional gift. I hope we will hear many more records from her. She plays the violin with an uncommon touch of subtlety and strength, passion and care. With Mr. ...

Bravo! Virtuoso and Romantic Encores for Violin

Nikolaj Znaider

RCA, 2003

A Delightful CD of Astonishing Violin Playing!
Wow! Znaider's playing is absolutely astonishing. He does it all: double stops, triple stops, expressive bowing, speed with a singing tone... One piece after another is astonishing. If you want to sample his playing but do not want to buy the whole album, I would ...

Itzhak Perlman: Violin Encores

Joseph Achron, Isaac Albeniz, ...

EMI Classics, 2006

Great CD!
Great CD. It's now the fav CD on my stereo. We like the second CD better though.

The Art Of The Theremin

Sergey Rachmaninov, Maurice Ravel, ...

Delos Records, 1992

Elegance and precision
The theramin is, without question, the most difficult instrument in the world to play. Consider: since its invention in 1928 and commercial release in the early 1930s, only one musician - Clara Rockmore - has been able to produce any real music on it. Her ...

Heifetz: Never-Released & Rare Live Recordings, Vol. 1

Joseph Achron, Antonin Dvorak, ...

Cembal D'amour, 2001

Incredible treasure!
As a lifelong fan of Heifetz, I was thrilled to discover this newly released recording of live performances. Many selections have clear, beautiful recorded sound, and the playing is truly unbelievable. There is a certain special electricity in these live ...

Elman Plays Hebrew Melodies

Joseph Achron, Ernest Bloch, ...

Vanguard Classics, 2006

You get more than you bargained for
Great remastering of classic Jewish-inspired violin recital by the master of mid-20th century schmaltz - but you get more than you expected, because there are 4 more tracks on the album that are not listed on the packaging! Somewhere between the A&R people and the ...

Heifetz Collection,Vol.40
Joseph Achron, Claude Debussy, ...

RCA, 1997

Music from the Ether: Original Works for Theremin

Isidor Achron, Jorge Antunes, ...

Mode, 1999

Theremin as an instrument, not a curiosity
This is a great album. I particularly like Lydia Kavina's original compositions, where the Theremin is clearly the ideal instrument. Kavina's use of the Theremin is much more effective than Clara Rockmore's. While Rockmore's recordings show skill and ability, I ...

Joseph Achron: Violin Concerto/Golem Suite [Milken Archive of American Jewish Music]

Joseph Achron, Gerard Schwarz, ...

Milken Archive, 2003

Wonderful Variety of pieces
The Amazon editorial review covered much of what I wanted to say about this CD. The Violin concerto definitely needs to be heard. Despite the scholarly liner notes and review, these pieces are easily enjoyed, even though they do require concentration. All of the ...
