(4 out of 5 stars)
"Adolf Busch... he is the one of great typical German violinist. He makes so many famous recordings under the name of his own quartet.Brandenburg Concerto, Beethoven String Quartet, Brahms Clarinet Quintet...That's why we do not know him well as a 'Soloist'.His tempo is quite slow comparing to contemporary soloists. But, the flow of his music is of nature, itself. Glorious!Also, the conductor - Hans Munch- is keeping his own tempo for this soloist.The Brahms concerto is of great performance as others like Oistrakh or De Vito. Only the version of Heifetz's is overwhelming.But, the Dvorak concerto is slightly disappointed.The great female violinist - Johanna Martzy - made her greatest recording for this concerto.Please remind that the beginners or the late listeners who already be accustomed to digital sound shall not select this item. Noise level is more serious than expected."
