A Definitive Brahms Violin/Double Concerto Recording
May 15 2001
Format:Audio CD
This splendid recording of Brahms' Violin Concerto and Double Concerto for Violin and Cello is recognized in the Grammophone Guide to Classical CDs as definitive. I doubt I have heard either concerto played with such sweetness and warmth as I have heard from Kremer and Hagen. Kremer's playing of both concerti is steeped in lyricism as well as technical brilliance. His playing of Brahms' violin concerto is as commanding a performance as Vengerov's with Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Kremer's and Hagen's performance of the Double Concerto has no peer among recent recordings. Neither outshines the other, giving compassionate, lyrical performances of equal merit. In the liner notes they mention how they treated the Double Concerto as a piece of chamber music, giving it a "light touch"; their approach to Brahms' music succeeds admirably. Harnoncourt and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra offer the finest sympathetic treatment of these scores that I have heard. Once more, Teldec's engineers have recorded live performances that sound as good as those in the studio, with some help from the Concertgebouw's (the symphony hall, not the orchestra) warm acoustics.
Light double concerto
Jan 19 2001
Format:Audio CD
Kremer states in the booklet that Brahms is often played in a fat manner, reminding of a heavyweight champion. As opposed to this, this double concert is played as chamber music. I think this does the trick. Kremer and Hagen play with the double concerto. Others seem to battle it and sometimes defeat it.
The vcto then... As with Kremers teacher Oistrakh, it is flowing rather than struggling. Yet Kremer adds his own energy, personality and creativity. I keep it as a variation to the giants Oistrakh, Heifetz and Kreisler. I appreciate the choice of a not so frequently played cadenza, Enescu.
