Title: An Excellent Introduction
Review: Menuhin's second mono recordings from the mid 50's are intense and technically flawless. However, he does not portray any kind of spirituality or serious profundity in this set. But he definetly puts in more emotion, expressiveness, beauty and brilliance into these accounts than in his first set (which to me are the most boring and dry readings i've ever heard!).Menuhin shows himself to be the true virtuoso, and these readings are very unique and very individual. He does reveal and give insights into many details overlooked by many other artists which is facincating and illuminating.The sound is in excellent late mono, loud, clear and warm.(My favorites are still the Perlman and the Enescu renditions.)
