| |||||
| This compilation disc of performances by violinist Nathan Milstein is a welcome addition to any collection. Digitally remastered, the sound quality is excellent and Milstein's brilliant playing is crystal clear as a result. With the exception of Debussy's Violin Sonata in G minor heard in its entirety, the disc is comprised of mainly short works, often performed as encores as the title suggests. It is fascinating to hear Milstein fly through Kreisler novelties with breathless abandon and then switch gears in lyrical and more contemplative works such as the Szymanowski Nocturne and the lovely Schumann Intermezzo. The standouts on the recording are the rhythmically complex Burlesca by Josef Suk and (as mentioned earlier) the Debussy. These two works are performed with pianist Rudolf Firkusny, and their partnership creates a sound that is both dynamic and profound. In addition, the overall diversity of repertoire on the disc will most certainly interest a broad listener base. | |||||
