Overlapping, polyrhythmic textures in Petrouchka and in Le Sacre du Printemps come off with Mozartian lucidity, Mendelssonian lightness, and, well, Stravinsky-esque rhythmic exactitude (notwithstanding a few hesitant entrances). The clarity partly stems from the composer's use of his leaner revised scores, helped by close-up, analytical mike work by CBS. There are, of course, slicker, more sonically opulent versions of these 20th century landmarks. And then there are Stravinsky's. ___________________________________________________________________ Beethoven* & Brahms* - Nathan Milstein, William Steinberg, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra* – Violin Concertos EMI Classics – 7243 5 67583 2 2 Great Recordings Of The Century –CD, Europe2001ClassicalRomantic Ludwig van Beethoven Violin Concerto In D, Op. 611Allegro Ma Non Troppo2Larghetto3Rondo (Allegro)Johannes Brahms Violin Concerto In D, Op. 774Allegro Non Troppo5Adagio6Allegro Giocoso, Ma Non Troppo Vivace They adopt brisk tempi in both concert: 39:08 in the Beethoven and 36:11 in the Brahms. Milstein sometimes sounds rushed, although he is unflawed technically. The Beethoven is more akin to Grumiaux/Van Beinum than Schneiderhan/Jochum or Szeryng/Schmidt-Isserstedt, but all three sound a bit less driven than Milstein. And I prefer Kogan's playing to these violinists (with Kondrashin/Moscow-see my review) despite the more muffled sound. It is more poetic, deeper interpetively.And I prefer Jochum's conducting to Steinberg's in both concerti, although Steinbergwas a truly great, underrated conductor. Milstein's later Brahms concerto with Jochum/VPO is more relaxed and lyrical-it balances the virtuosity which is stillsufficient.

Nicht Zu Geschwind Und Sehr Singbar Vorzutragen This collection is one of the finest possessions that any lover of music--classical or otherwise-- could possibly own. Alfred Brendel's interpretation of Beethoven's serious, probing piano works is in my opinion among the greatest interpretive achievements of the 20th century, and these recordings capture Brendel's performance in a luminous, ambient sonic wonderland that I find all but overwhelming. You will be drawn into a poetic and reflective space that will astound, enchant, and disturb you... consider Brendel's statement about the slow movement of the Moonlight Sonata, hideously sentimentalized by most artists: in Brendel's words, it's "a mystic realm of awe and shuddering." Think about this, and listen to Brendel's interpretation, and you'll have a great start on this rich, deep, expansive collection of total artistry. Avoiding bombast, Brendel lays bare the incredible architecture that underlies Beethoven's work, and in so doing Brendel fully unleashes Beethoven's artistic and emotional power, a world of musical romance and argumentation that begins to speak to you with an eloquence ranging far beyond the complexities of speech. With Brendel as your guide, you are ushered into a world in which you fully perceive Beethoven's creative genius; before you opens a world of depth and insight and enchantment and meaning. This recording belongs in the library of any serious lover of classical music--and indeed, of any person who believes that music and its performance speak with eloquence of something that is inexpressably deep and meaningful about human existence, something that only music can fully describe. It's very hard to put into words... just listen. A final note: the overwhelming power of this collection isn't a mere matter of sonic trickery; four of the performances are live performances selected by Brendel himself as superior to the studio recordings, despite the live performances' inferior acoustics; believe me, you won't care. (The audiences are very quiet, which doesn't surprise me; undoubtedly, they were drawn into Brendel's performances to the point of reverence.) Every one of the performances in this collection draws you into a world in which every single note penned by Beethoven matters deeply, and Brendel's artistry is such that, somehow, you understand why.
