Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole is a riot of instrumental color and virtuoso challenges; exactly Jascha Heifetz's piece of cake, as are Saint-Saëns's Havanaise, Chausson's Poème and Sarasate's Zigeunerweise (Gypsy Tunes). The sound is pre-stereo but well detailed. One movement of the Lalo is left out, but there are plenty of fireworks in the four that remain. --Joe McLellan

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars very poor recording.......2007-05-25

Besides having to turn up the volume to the max just so I could hear the music. The background is full hiss and stratches

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!.......2007-01-03

Anything Heifetz ever recorded is sublime and this CD is no exception.

5 out of 5 stars One of The Best Violin CDs.......2005-11-06

If you could own only two classical violin CDs, this should be one of them! (The other is the Heifetz recording of the Tchaikovsky & Brahms violin concertos.)

Skip right past the first piece (Lalo), and you will enjoy violin music like liquid silver, with unbelievable passion, fireworks and virtuosity. This is Heifetz at his very best!

The Symphonie Espagnole performance is pedestrian. Neither Heifetz nor the orchestra quite catch the mood of the music. Buy the CD anyway! The rest of the music sets the standard for fine violin playing!

5 out of 5 stars Where is the intermezzo? .......2005-11-04

Ok, great play by Heifetz but why is the "intermezzo" in Symph.Espagnole missing??

5 out of 5 stars Heifetz is IT!.......2004-05-31

When it comes to Tchaikowsky, Mendelssohn, Lalo, Kreisler, and ANY kind of show piece, no one can touch Heifetz. Non of the violinists alive today can ever come close to his level of musical personality, command of his instrument and sound. He is the father of all violin virtuoso, together with Paganini himself, perhaps. My only negative comment is regarding the restoration sound of the CD, it is alright, but could be better.

    5 out of 5 stars Eloquent expression! .......2006-01-21

    In this formidable album you will realize Artur Grumiaux is in top form. His lyricism and expressiveness is quite evident since the first bar you listened. He possessed that admirable and inimitable phrasing, supported by the most fervent passion and commitment.

    This is a fundamental and excellent selection of his interpretative art. His Lekeu and Debussy violin Sonata do not know about rivals, even the elapsed time. I miss the exclusion of his Häendel works Op. 1 and several violin Sonatas of Mozart (specially the K. 376), but this artistic document well deserves its immediate acquisition.

    Grumiaux was -undeniably- the best Belgium violinist after Ysaye, and one of the eternal icons of this instrument.

    5 out of 5 stars Brilliant Recordings Rescued From The Vaults.......2003-06-09

    Now that Decca, Philips and Deutsche Grammophon, among others, are all part of Universal, we have seen some interesting things happen, and not all of them bad. What I'm referring to in this case is the new "Original Masters" Limited Edition Box Set series. Finally, the classical music world has taken a page out of the jazz reissue handbook -- put out a quality product featuring rare recordings but make its availability limited, and people will snatch it up. In the "Original Masters" series, first DG and now Decca/Philips have each reissued five box sets, of 4 to 7 CDs each, in distinguished, space-saving slim paper boxes, though the style of packaging is different. The DG sets feature 50s style graphics design on their covers, while the Decca/Philips ones have a distinctive rainbow/spectrum pattern on the spines and banners, and a black-and-white photo of the artist in question on the face of the box.

    This particular set features the historical Philips recordings of the great violinist Arthur Grumiaux from 1953-62. As the track information is non-existent above, I will try to be of assistance. The first two discs contain the complete Mozart Violin Concertos, including K271i which is now regarded as doubtful (to be composed by Mozart), with Bernhard Paumgartner and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra (VSO) from 1953-55. It is wonderful to compare these performances to Grumiaux's stereo Mozart VC Cycle on Philips with Colin Davis (see my review). Disc three is all works for violin and piano (with pianist Istvan Hajdu) -- Debussy, Ravel and Faure (No. 1) Sonatas, Ravel's Piece en Forme de Habanera, Faure's Les Berceaux, Saraste's Zigeunerweisen, Fiocco's Allegro, Granados' Andaluza, and Albeniz's Tango (all from 1962). Disc four features shorter works for violin and orchestra -- Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole, Chausson's Poeme, Ravel's Tzigane, Saint-Saens' Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, and Havanaise. All are with Jean Fournet conducting the Orchestre des Concerts Lamoureux (OCL) from 1954, except the Capriccioso which is 1956. Lastly, CD Five returns to concertos with the Mendelssohn (Rudolf Moralt/VSO, 1954) and Paganini No. 4 (Franco Gallini/OCL, 1954), and concludes with Paganini's I Palpiti and Le Streghe with pianist Riccardo Castagnone (1958). Despite the fact that the recordings on four of the five discs are in mono (CD3 is in stereo), the first rate performances more than compensate for any audio shortcomings. Well, I guess the consolidation of the music industry isn't so bad after all, as long as I can look forward to more reissues like this.

    4 out of 5 stars More Sensational Stern, More Silly Sony.......2003-10-04

    Volume 8 of the "Isaac Stern: A Life in Music" series finds the great violinist tackling a variety of French Orchestral Works. The first CD of this two-disc set begins with Lalo's "Symphonie Espagnole," 1967 performance with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Stern previously recorded the Lalo with Ormandy in 1956 (that version appears on "The Early Concerto Recordings, Volume 2" -- see my review), and this '67 rendition is taken at a slightly slower tempo, but is equally enjoyable. Disc one concludes with an average account of Saint-Saens' 3rd Violin Concerto with Daniel Barenboim and the Orchestre de Paris from 1976.

    Disc two is where I really have problems with this collection. The second CD features shorter works for violin and orchestra, including some "encore" pieces, all performed excellently. I should know because I've heard half of them on other CDs previously! The very same recordings featured in this title (Volume 8) of Saraste's "Zigeunerweisen," Saint-Saens' "Introduction et Rodno Capriccioso," and Ravel's "Tzigane" have already been available (and continue to be) on Isaac Stern's "Early Concerto Recordings" volumes. This redundancy is not an isolated incident as it has happened with other titles in the "Life in Music" series. I suppose duplication is unavoidable for serious collectors, but it is nonetheless annoying. As I have said before -- Sony, there must have been a better way!

      Thank you Amazon for carrying such a large selection of titles from the Australian "Eloquence" series! While the majority of the performances in this mid-price import line are available stateside (but as different titles or with different packaging), many are not and needless to say I am snapping those CDs up quickly. This delightful disc contains violinist Arthur Grumiaux's 1960s stereo remakes of Lalo's Symphonie Esapgnole, Saint-Saens' Introduction & Rondo Capriccioso and Havanaise, Chausson's Poeme, and Ravel's Tzigane, with conductor Manuel Rosenthal leading the Orchestre des Concerts Lamoureux. It has been an absolute delight to compare these renditions with Grumiaux's earlier mono accounts with Jean Fournet leading the very same orchestra, which were recently reissued on a Philips "Original Masters" box set (see my review). After this disc, I certainly look forward to getting more Amazon deliveries from Australia with love.

        5 out of 5 stars Legendary collaborations producing some supreme performances.......2007-05-16

        Arguably, nobody ever played Chausson's Poeme with more sincerity, beauty and passion than George Enescu - fortunately, this recording of his is still available at Biddulph Recordings (England) under "G. Enesco - the complete solo Columbia recordings". Also happily for us, his experience and style of playing somehow reflect in Menuhin's own brilliant interpretation of this piece (with his beloved teacher conducting), and no doubt, as elsewhere in their joint ventures, the young Menuhin fully benefits of Enescu's priceless guidance. The result is yet another masterwork, reminiscent of other legendary recordings of these two greats, such as Bach's Violin Concertos 1 & 2, Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, Paganini's Violin Concerto no. 1, Mozart's Violin Concertos 3 & 7, and Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole (also present here).

        Enescu's influence upon the performance and recording history of Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole is not yet fully recognized, but it was HE who first and regularly performed (contrary to the period norm) the work with the middle movement "Intermezzo". Now the full and uncut score is the standard for any performance or recording. Here again, Enescu's gentle and reassuring presence is inspiring, encouraging Menuhin to bring out his own genius rich in grace and spontaneity. Last but not least, Saint-Saens' Violin Concerto no. 3 is also brilliantly performed, and all or any of these recordings can make a strong case as benchmark readings.

        4 out of 5 stars Beautiful........2001-03-13

        Menuhin does it again with this powerful and emotional collection. The style, and the passion in his work leaps right into you as you listen almost out of control of your own emotion. With such stringwork Yehudi could just as well have been a puppeteer.

        Album Description

        "The recordings are uniformly clear and rich in detail--truly amazing for their vintage. At Vox's prices, a collection like this one by an estimable violinist like Rosand is well-nigh irresistible. Think of it this way: for almost nothing, you can get one of the best Lalos ever recorded and about an hour and a half of music absolutely free. A phenomenal bargain!" (Robert Maxham - Classical Net Review)

        4 out of 5 stars Basement Prices for Penthouse Music.......2007-05-13

        Aaron Rosand's CDs are always cheap - yet he's made some of the greatest recordings of standard literature, and often the ONLY recordings of non-standard literature. This disc is like a miniature treasure trove. It features the Saint Saens concerto #3 and the Lalo - and these two recordings are definitely among the aforementioned best out there. Rosand's sound is like that of a vintage bottle of wine. Although he never became a household name, his playing reveals a polished, refined quality that lends itself especially well to romantic works such as these.
        His approach brings out all the sparkling Spanishness of the Lalo. The Saint Saens has many pleasing moments; to mention just one, the section of that closes the second movement is perfectly-paced and the harmonics are crystal clear. So many recordings and performances of this piece are played with an almost brusque "Tchaikovskyan" style; Rosand doesn't go overboard and articulates the lyrical sections especially well.
        The Sibelius Humoresques are delightful; these six small pieces are never played on concert programs because they simply don't match up well against a concerto or a symphony. On a less positive note, Rosand's Chausson "Poeme" is probably the longest one I've ever heard, at over 17 minutes. The tempos drag considerably and although Rosand's big tone comes forth nicely, the opening cadenza and ending are just too slow. Like Grumiaux's recording of Ravel's "Tzigane", Rosand's is also very padded and lacking the necessary abandonment. He plays it very straightforwardly, hitting all the notes and never deviating far from the printed page. Berlioz's "Reverie & Caprice" and Saint Saens' "Havanaise" get good readings here. But the Lalo and Saint Saens concerto definitely make this 2-CD set well worth the investment. Four stars.

        4 out of 5 stars Phenomenal bargain.......2002-07-15

        Aaron Rosand is one of the most overlooked fiddlers of our day. His Sibelius is fresh, with Rosand capturing a musical snapshot of the dark, cool Finnish landscape. The Lalo is stylish and impeccably executed. The remainder of the discs, while well played, does not quite reach the excellence of exalted interpretations by Heifetz in the Havanaise and Rondo Capriccioso, or Oistrakh in the Poeme. Occassionally there is some strain in Rosand's slender tone, some of which may be attributable to the sonic limitations of the recording. Climaxes in the Chausson and Berlioz and hindered by such technological limitations. But beneath such problems is exciting and vibrant playing well worth the unusually affordable price.
