Now, something completely different... Comments on the Performances

Chris piqued my interest in this recording by bringing it up in his usual manner :)

I gave the Brahms portion a casual listen on Tidal, and from that I decided to download the 24/96 offering at HDTracks.com.

I'll start with the Bartok, which I am quite unfamiliar with. I know I've heard it before (couple of versions in my collection), but I don't think I ever really listened to it in a serious manner. So, just going with this performance, I liked the piece. It was very exciting and demanding and engaging and well-recorded. Since I have to comparisons to go on, that'll have to be it for my comments on the Bartok.

I have heard many Brahms Violin Concerto performances, and this one rises to the top 25% or so. The recording is very good. The violin sounds natural. Ms. Jansen has an excellent sound, and the music flows easily. I found the performance compelling and passionate. I did notice some different orchestral phrasing in the early part of the first movement, but I don't know if it was indeed different or if it stood out because of the very good detailed recording.

All-in-all, I enjoyed it a lot. For modern recordings I usually turn to Repin, Barton, Znaider, or Szeryng. I can add this one to the mix.
