Dvorák: Concerto pour violon et orchestra Op. 53, Trio Op. 65
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Some of us think Dvorak is one of the most unjustly neglected composers in all of classical music. This disc seems designed to prove the point. The only concerto we frequently hear by Dvorak is the Cello Concerto, but this masterpiece is just as beautifully written, with equally beautiful melodies and superb construction. Most chamber ensembles seem to think that Dvorak wrote only one Trio, the famous "Dumky." Again, here's an equally great, neglected masterpiece. Plaudits for Isabelle Faust and Harmonia Mundi for putting together this excellent program. And praise for these fine performances. Faust is known as a specialist in modern music, but she gives the Violin Concerto plenty of romantic schmalz. Belohlavek is highly experienced with this music and draws gorgeous playing from his orchestra, which plays with typically Czech beauty of tone. The recording of the Concerto is a bit opaque and lacking in presence but not enough to hinder appreciation of the music. Faust and her colleagues in the Trio play with lots of power and impulse, sweeping us along in a compelling reading of this masterpiece. The unusual coupling and excellent performances earn this disc a recommendation, especially for non-Dvorakians. --Leslie Gerber

The best recording out there.......2005-04-25
Isabelle Faust is by far one the most underrated violinists working today. Her lucious phrasing is to die for and rivals those of the greatest violinists. In Dvorak's violin concerto, Faust brings an entirely new interpretation that exceeds the efforts of Sarah Chang and even Isaac Stern. As opposed to Sarah Chang's more choppy, inconsistent take and Isaac Stern's overly strict, static interpretation, Faust fuels passion and feeling into the music. Being a violinist myself, Isabelle Faust rekindles my love for the violin and I certainly hope her more success in the future. Call it love at first listen, but this is by far the best recording of Dvorak's concerto I've heard, and Faust is possibly one of the best violinists I've had the pleasure of listening to.
