Accardo's performances are nothing short of spectacular, and (the late) Kurt Masur and the Gewandhaus's performances never disappoint. Most classical audiophiles may be familiar only with Bruch's first violin concerto and the "Scottish Fantasy," but there are two more wonderful violin concertos, a Romance, a Konzertstuck, a Serenade, a piece entitled "Adagio Appassionato" and a piece that was new, "In Memoriam," a very beautiful and moving composition that is the last band on the last record. If you like Bruch's first violin concerto, you will love the rest of the recordings in this box. web
