The first mov't was a real slog, IMOH.
Another example of a young artist "re-thinking" every note, and--unlike the testimony of most reviewers--her interpretation didn't sound authoritative or even remotely inevitable to me. Right at the beginning, it seems to take forever for Ms. Batiashvili to alight upon the main theme. The mov't goes for 19 minutes. I don't know if that's average, but...
Heifetz is my current favorite, and he and Reiner never fail to get the blood rushing and toe tapping. At around 15 mins, the 1st mov't goes by quick, but no there's no stinting on the poetry, IMHO. (To be fair, there's a small cut but I can't remember which mov't.)
Although the Heifetz is from RCA's golden age, the sound has some very occasional rough edges, but I don't care. OTOH, DGG provide Barenboim and Batiashvili with a very warm and comfy sound. One of my first "digital" DGGs in a long, long time, and I'm very pleaseed with the progress.
