4 out of 5 stars Mostly Magnificent Menuhin, with a Few Reservations.......2004-01-06

The recent trend toward classical box sets focusing on the performer instead of the composer (see my reviews of the various DG/Decca "Original Masters" sets) continues with EMI's new "Yehudi Menuhin - The Violinist." Sure EMI's past sets have showcased individual performances by Samson Francois, Eugen Jochum and Rudolf Kempe to name a few, but it was always under the heading of a given composer's works, and in the cases mentioned above, to Chopin's piano pieces, Bruckner's Symphonies and Strauss' Orchestral Works respectively. Therefore, this Menuhin collection is the first of EMI's "Budget Box Sets" to showcase a performer playing the works of a variety of composers.

As Menuhin was an EMI recording artist for an incredible 68 years (1931-99), his performances for the label number in the hundreds. With so much music from which to choose, this 10-disc set aims "to highlight some of those alternative versions, including recordings that have not been easily available since the days of LP and others that have never previously appeared on CD." Therefore, the obvious mainstream, easily attainable recordings are omitted here -- for example, the Beethoven/Mendelssohn VCs with Furtwangler, the Elgar VC with the composer conducting, and the Bruch/Mendelssohn VCs with Susskind and Kurtz.

However, a lot of this material has been on disc before on titles which the serious collector most likely already owns. Most of the Bach is currently available as part of the Bach "Budget Box Series" title. The Bruch, Mendelssohn, Brahms and Vivaldi VCs were all available in the now out-of-print 2CD EMI Seraphim series. The Elgar and the Walton are still available in the "British Composers" series. And perhaps most annoyingly, the previously unpublished Beethoven VC and Tchaikovsky "Serenade melancolique" (available as a single disc), and the Beethoven Romance No. 2 (available on an EMI Encore title) were both reissued just a few months back.

But let's focus on the positive, which are the other rare performances, the most significant being the never before reissued 1954 performance of Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 4 with John Pritchard and the Philharmonia. Other elusive recordings include Viuextemps and Paganini VCs with Fistoulari, Lalo and Saint-Saens works with Goossens, and excellent Berg and Bartok accounts with Boulez. Though I'm delighted at their inclusion, of lesser importance is a 1965 Bartok VC No. 2 with Dorati -- his mono EMI with Furtwangler and an earlier account with Dorati on Mercury Living Presence are far superior. Also, neither the Sibelius (Boult, 1955) nor Nielsen (Woldike, 1952) Concertos are truly Menuhin's cups of tea.

My last complaint has to do with the packaging. I know I'm being rather trite but it seems that EMI has taken the "slim" out of slim, paper-sleeved box sets with their latest batch of releases. Both this title and the new box of Liszt Orchestral Works by Masur are noticeably thicker than previous EMI sets featuring a similar number of discs. A minor point, but us serious classical collectors need every centimeter of space on our increasingly crowded CD shelves, not to mention the amount of wasted packaging.

Overall though, despite the fact that "Yehudi Menuhin - The Violinist" is not as essential a reissue as its counterparts in the "Original Masters" series, it is a delightful set that most collectors will thoroughly enjoy.

    5 out of 5 stars The all-time best performances of Bartok's piano pieces.......2006-04-17

    There is no doubt in my mind, that this exceptional
    release from PHILIPS crystalized in a music hall,
    the composer's true intentions when the pieces were
    developed and completed.

    The performances, indeed, are immaculate on CD1,
    in terms of the piano pieces, and surpass clearly
    in matters of musicians' performances, ability
    and the recording engineers' ability as compared
    to the Hungaroton lunch box available elsewhere
    (also very good, yet better on some opus than others.)

    In regards to the second CD, the Concerto for Orchestra
    is breathtaking and exceptional in its musical execution.

    The listening will be astounded as to how so much value was
    put together on a single 2 CD release, at such an affordable price.

    5 out of 5 stars Coleccion de Bartok.......2004-11-30

    La seleccion mas genial que uno podria esperar de los conciertos de un compositor no tan apreciado como deberia serlo.
    Los primeros elogios son para Kovacevich y la presentacion de los conciertos para piano (los tres) en grabaciones notables, espectaculares el virtuosismo de Stephen es manifiesto, genial,increible; los conciertos son vibrantes, elegantes, muy innovadores, y el genio de este solista nos lleva a disfrutarlos de una manera inigualable, la orquesta sinfonica de Londres es una de las mejores y aqui lo demuestra (1 y 3 concierto) y la orquesta de la BBC (historica para definirla de alguna manera) suena mejor que nunca, algo del merito lo tiene Colin Davis que como lo he comentado se esmera en sonar genial, en aprovechar al maximo a sus musicos y en estos conciertos nada sobra y nada falta, exquisito y musicalmente brillante.
    Y si los conciertos para piano son geniales el concierto para violin es sorprendente mas aun por la regia interpretacion de Szering, este violinista se hace lucir y brillar en interpretaciones fulgurantes, arrolladoras y por cierto con un toque especial de sublimidad, acompañan a Henryk una orquesta incomparable la del concervatorio de Amsterdam que con su insigne director lleva a la musica a otros niveles, Bernard Haitink es de los directores contemporaneos el que lleva el peso de una tradicion valorada por su sello y calidad, se hace cargo ademas del extraordinario Concerto para orquesta que cierra un doble CD de verdad incomparable.

    5 out of 5 stars Still a contender.......2002-05-03

    This is not only a great Bartok collection but an outstanding value, with a lot of music packed onto two discs.

    While I do love Pollini's thunderous, hammering version of the First Piano Concerto (with Abbado and Chicago), this one is perhaps better balanced. Kovacevich is superb in all three of these pieces, and the orchestral accompaniment, led by the brilliant Sir Colin Davis, is terrific. Henryk Szeryng is also in spectacular form in the Violin Concerto, playing with great feeling, not to mention the sheer beauty of the sound of his instrument. His partners here are Bernard Haitink and the Concertgebouw, one of the great conductor/orchestra teams ever.

    And after all these fireworks, we still get an arresting performance of the Concerto for Orchestra, showing off Haitink and the Concertgebouw at their most precise and luminous. A confession up front: I have about a dozen versions of this piece, including the brand-new one from Chailly with the same orchestra, which is certainly spectacular. I would also hate to give up recordings by Solti and Chicago (not to mention Solti and the London Symphony Orchestra), the great Cleveland Orchestra with Christoph von Dohnanyi, and Dutoit with Montreal, whose technicolor reading works very well. I also treasure the vivid, fiery interpretation from Mariss Jansons and the Oslo Philharmonic.

    Even considering all of these, this performance from the mid-1960's still sounds excellent. And again, it gives an exciting glimpse of the quality of music-making by Haitink and this orchestra during that period.

    A great recording AND a bargain.

    5 out of 5 stars a Bartók feast.......2001-04-02

    If you like Bartók, you'll love this, and if you just want to round out your classical collection with one CD of his, this is the one ! You'll get over 2 1/2 hours of superb performances in one 2-disc jewel case.

    Piano concertos # 1 and # 2 are difficult to listen to at first if you're not used to this type of music...Bartók wrote these pieces for himself to perform, and he must have enjoyed a challenge. The speed and complexity are mind-boggling. # 3 is a much easier ride...written shortly before his death (he wrote this one for his wife to perform), it's much more melodic and gentle on the ears. Stephen Kovacevich is brilliant as the soloist in all 3 pieces, and they're conducted masterfully by Colin Davis.

    My favorite in this collection is the 2nd violin concerto, and this is a lyrical, beautiful rendition of this gorgeous composition. Henryk Szeryng's performance is exquisite, and it's wonderfully conducted by Bernard Haitink, who also does the final piece, Bartók's most famous and most often played, the rousing "Concerto for Orchestra".

    5 out of 5 stars Best Performance of Bartok piano concertos.......1999-07-10

    Unfortunately I have never heard Donohoe/Rattle recording on Bartok piano concertos, but I've heard Andras Schiff on teldec, Maurizio Pollini (No.1&2 only) on DG, Yefim Bronfman on Sony, and Martha Argerich (No.3 only) on EMI, so far. Among these seemingly splendid recordings, this recording by then-young Kovacevich is a really best-buy. I feel he gives sometimes a boring performance and shows a little bit poor techniques especially recently, but here his performance is very fresh and filled with the musical momentum.

      5 out of 5 stars Classic Recordings Available Now.......2000-06-09

      Originally this recordings were released in separated LP's, but now they are available in this two records set. This compilation is a true right guess for Sony. Concert for Two Pianos and Percussion is a orchestral arragement for Bartok himself of his famous Sonata. Bernstein and soloists stand out each colour and pitch of this concert, though the orchestral part is discreet in this opus. Director obtains to make bright drums, cymbals and xylophone parts. Second Piano Concert(with Philippe Etremont) is a interesting work that merges neoclasicist aproach with folk elements. Soloist piano is accompanied only for horns in the first movement. Strings appears in the slow movement and sustain an interesting fight with the percussion. The full orchestra blows up only at the final part. Bartok's Third Concert is his most easy listening work. Impressionistic piano music with ravelian influence, but the folk fundamental is alive even. The Second Violin Concert was the bartokian answer to the Schoenberg School. This a vibrant and superb concert that require a skilfull violinist. Bernstein-Stern version is legendary and own feeling and ease and can be compared to other current recordings (Mutter, Pasquier or Shaham). This one worth for performance of slow movements.I think Bernstein found himself at one's ease in the adagios and lentos, his true feeling ran really here. To hear this slow movements is an impresive and moving experience. He always searched to stand out more sounds and effects of the orchestra than run with the timepiece. Music showed his true hertbeat. Bernstein, New York Philarmonic and his guests gain to hande the hard rythms and pulsations of this main works. Ten stars fot this CD!

      5 out of 5 stars Riveting Bartok from Barenboim and Boulez, in great sound.......2006-01-17

      It's easy to forget that Daniel Barenbim was once a supreme piano virtuoso, now that his career is dominated by his conducting ambitions. This incredibly dramatic set of the Bartok piano concertos #1 and #3 makes up for a lot of miserable stints on the podium.

      Barenboim chooses a warm, grand style that would seem to conflict with Boulez's cool detachment, but somehw they mesh perfectly. The secret is that Boulez isn't analytical or cool here--this is the most passionate account of the orchestral accompaniments I've ever heard. Both pieces have a depth of expression almost never heard from them. Barenboim provides the kind of hair-raising virtuosity that even Argerich cannot match. EMI's remastering is very successful--the close-up sonics are detailed and dramatic. In all, a top contender in these great pieces.
