Title: No Sex, Please. We're Classical !
Review: When this CD was first released, there was a general hue and cry from the classical music votaries. Without first listening to Ms. St. John's performance, the recording was condemned because of the photo of her on the cover. It seems that people who like classical music don't like girls, or, if they do, the females must be prim and proper, for that's what classical music is today -- the music preferred by those of a prudish persuasion.Another problem that Ms. St. John faces is the common preference for a sweet and soothing sound from the violin. Although she, like many other important violinists of our day, studied at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, the tone Ms. St. John's gets is more similar to that of the great Russian violinists of the previous century (that's the 20th, geezers).All in all, Ms. St. John provides a remarkable performance.
