Rosand is no less excellent in the Scottish Fantasy, playing with a somber sweetness in the Grave and Adagio Cantabile; but later (with the aid of harpist Birgit Bachhuber) he really heats up the finale's rough-hewn dance. Christoph Wyneken and the NDR Radio-Philharmonie Hannover match Rosand's intelligence and brilliance with their own energy and enthusiasm, all of which comes across clearly in Vox's warmly resonant, naturally balanced recording. For solo work, this release at last supplants my favorite Lin/ Slatkin/Chicago Symphony disc (though the latter still sports more robust orchestral playing and aggressively vivid recorded sound). Plus, as a bonus you get Rosand's warmly poignant reading of Bruch's A minor Romance. A disc for everyone--Rosand fans, Bruch collectors, violin aficionados, and you.
