Title: ANOTHER WINNER!
Review: This 2-CD set of Bruch's 3 symphonies and five violin pieces is a compilation of downright beautiful music. Bruch's romantic symphonies are exquisitely crafted- chock full of lush themes and wonderful orchestration. If you're unfamiliar with them (as I was) at one moment you'll be thinking Schumann, then at another Brahms. There are moments of Mahler-like bombast but fortunately they're few and brief.The violin pieces are as good or even better- ranging from a virtuosic tour-de-force to haunting introspection.Both the orchestral and solo violin playing are very well done- no negatives here. And I disagree with a (much earlier) reviewer- I thought Philips did a nice job with the sound throughout, both in the miking and recording.If you're a fan of Romantic music, and especially German Romantic music (is there any better?) you'll enjoy this modestly-priced CD set as an addition to your collection.
