Bruch concerto without peer, Oct 11 2010
By David Landau - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vln Cto 1/Sym 4 Italian (Audio CD)
Just try this Bruch concerto on for size. The soloist is Albert Sammons, who likely gave us the best Elgar violin concerto we will ever have. The conductor is Hamilton Harty, composer of talent and conductor 'hors pair' while the orchestra is the Halle, one of the greatest in England and the world. The year, as it happens, is 1924, and not to be ignored. The orchestral sound, as delivered through the acoustic horn, is a fearsome rum-ti-tum that somehow illuminates the clear, singing voice of the soloist. The Gramophone called this performance of the Bruch unique, or valuable, or uniquely valuable, or however they say it in Gramophone. It's all true; you'll never hear the solo part this good again.The next item on the disc is Mendelssohn's Italian symphony, and it sounds--coming after the acoustic blizzard--like a broadcast from digital heaven. Harty's mastery of the orchestra may now be measured, as may Malcolm Sargent's in the Hebrides overture that follows. All together, fifty-four minutes from God's lips to your ears. Don't hesitate.
