Title: Technical exercise vs. musical composition
Review: Firstly, Aaron Rosand is rivaled by a mere few regarding virtuosity. Having said that, this disc is simply an expressive compilation of technical showmanship rather than musical enlightenment. Glissando! For the sake of all that is pure and Holy. Cat fights have no place in the repertoire of any violinist! Excessive vibrato, rubato and other "tricks of the trade" pervade this disc like locusts descending on the crops of the Heartland. Mr. Rosand knows (and has demonstrated through numerous recordings) the sweetness and emotional content of the instrument better than most. Only he will ever know why he recorded the disturbing content of the disc.
