Last night I heard Rachel Barton Pine play Sarasate's 'Carmen Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra' (and Saint-Saƫns 'Introduction and Rondo capriccioso for Violin and Orchestra') with our Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. The performance was superb.
Now I would like to add Sarasate's Carmen to my vinyl collection and both Ricci's version and Perlman's have received great reviews. Trying to find an original album of Ricci's is difficult and expensive however there is a Speakers Corner version available. Perlman's performance is available on Hi-Q records also at a reasonable cost.
Which one of these - combination of performance and reissue label - would you choose? Or is there a better performance that is available? Thanks.
