A monumental work that sets the standard for the two great concertos.
This collection of outstanding performances, featuring Mendelssohn with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Tchaikovsky with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, is notable for its lyricism and technique.
This recording features a masterful performance by one of the 20th century's leading violinists, Nathan Milstein. In his Mendelssohn recordings, his refined form, free from excessive sentimentality, blends with smooth bowing to create a clear melody. The Philharmonia Orchestra, under the baton of Leon Bergin, provides solid support, creating a dignified presence. His Tchaikovsky recordings, performed with Steinberg, also shine with their virtuosity and lyricism. While an early stereo recording, the separation of each instrument is excellent, demonstrating a level of perfection that will stand the test of time.
