CD Reviews

Satisfactory all the way

requiemguardian | West Coast | 07/31/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Isaac Stern is, arguably, the best interpreter of classical music there is. His fleshy vibrato and excellent phrasing incorporates his feeling into this set. The Brahms is superb as Stern expresses love, grief, confusion, depression, and eventually redemption throughout the CD. His duo with Eugen Istomin of the Beethoven Violin Sonatas are the best in my library. Same with the Schubert with Daniel Barenboim as his accompanist. Bartok could have been brushed up upon. The intonation was just a tad off. The Franck CD is superb. The Bartok is THE main source for this piece because of Stern's collaboration with the actual composer. All in all, this set ends Stern's legacy with his favorite encores; the best played upon them all."
