Title: Awkward playing
Product review: You can do much better for the Mendelssohn and Bruch. You may have to get them separately, but Isaac Stern does them much better. I find Ms. Chung's playing to be uneven, choppy and full of seams. The phrasing is not smooth. Her vibrato is also very sloppy in places. Frankly, having listened to several recordings of these two pieces over many years I would have to keep thesediscs out of the running entirely. I would recommend Stern orFrancescatti in the Bruch and Stern in the Mendelssohn. You getthe tops Tchaikovsky performance as well if you get Stern (with score cuts in overly repetitive measures).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
