 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
Brian Crimp writes in his note: "Ginette Neveu (1919-49) was cruelly snatched from a disbelieving world decades ago, yet her name still elicits deep respect and admiration not only from those fortunate enough to have heard her in the flesh but also from a legion of admirers who came to know a supreme artist via only her recordings. Neveu's true international career was to last hardly five years, yet at the time of her death at thirty she had already won for herself an indelible, illustrious position in the annals of violin playing." "Half a century later the vividness and fiery purity of her playing still astonish and inspire." --David Cairns, The Sunday Times (London) "Ginette Neveu was only 29 when she died in a plane crash in the Azores in1949. But even then she was already celebrated for her exquisite music making, in which immeasurable passion was informed by unparalleled insight. Her transcendent reading of Chausson's heady Počme is longing personified, while her performance of the Brahms concerto, especially the slow movement, couldn't be more heartbreaking. Her Beethoven is perfection. This great violinist moves adroitly into Ravel's sexy Tzigane with sultry panache. " --John Bell Young, The St. Petersburg Times "Some of the most accurate, full-toned and sensitive performances I have heard of these works...sheer magic." --Justin R. Herman, The New Records
