Title: A sad effort
Review: Since I wrote the review below, young Hilary Hahn has come out with an absolutely wonderful recording of the Brahms Concerto. I'm happy to say that I'm completely vindicated. A comparison of Kennedy's and Hahn's recording of the Brahms shows that Kennedy is sentimental, languid, boring, goes for cheap emotional effects and ends up suffocating us with pretty moments, whereas Hilary Hahn is crisp, smart, thrilling, avoids all sentimentality and thereby achieves a grand and truly moving overall effect. Those two recordings represent the extremes in good and bad classical interpretation.
Is the review positive or negative?
