Description
"A stylish superiority and balanced artistry" (The Independent) distinguished the playing of this Vienna-born violinist who was concertmaster of the Vienna Philharmonic, led his own quartet, and formed the Lucerne Festival Strings. Here he plays Beethoven's D Minor Concerto, Op. 61, and Mozart's Concerto No. 5, K. 291.
"An underrated violinist, whose career spanned most of the 20th century, in the heart of the mainstream repertoire…. [He] was the antithesis of high-flying virtuosos like Heifetz and Milstein. Yet … his sober musical intelligence and sensational though unshowy technique could result in music making of sublime grandeur and power."—Strings
