Great Recordings Of The Century - Elgar: Violin Concerto, 'Enigma' Variations / Elgar, Menuhin
Edward Elgar, London Symphony Orchestra, ...
EMI Classics, 1999
5 stars, but not for the casual listener.
+ Stunning
+ Simply Menuhin
If you do not have the Elgar concerto already, do not make this your one and only choice. This is not for the casual listener who wants to sit back and enjoy a great violin concerto. If you want to do that, choose Kennedy/Rattle/CBSO on EMI which is simply fantastic. If you do decide to choose this ...

Great Recordings Of The Century - Beethoven: Triple Concerto; Brahms: Double Concerto / Oistrakh, ...
Mstislav Rostropovich, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...
EMI Classics, 1999
Big, Brooding, Boring Beethoven. Excellent Brahms.
This *should* be an excellent rendition of the triple concerto. But when dealing with such an intricate and sophisticated work, mere virtuosity is not enough. In a *triple concerto*, what is required is synergy, harmony, unity. This recording is virtually devoid of such qualities. Instead, what ...
