Henryk Szeryng - Henryk Szeryng: In Recital - Violin Encores - CD

quot;Szeryng's technique is not unlike the cool, clear kind of equipment Heifetz rejoiced in 25 years ago. But there is this difference: Szeryng has a wider emotional range than Heifetz possessed at that time, due to his remarkably expressive left hand. He can change the timbre of a note and often picturesquely develops coloured timbre... The finest performance here is the Vitali Chaconne; Tartini's Devil's Trill, a brilliant and well-rounded reading and the Schumann piece provides welcome relief, as does the Gluck Melodie.quot; (Gramophone)
