Deutsche Grammophon 111 - The Violin, disc 2.

I didn't find this as involving as the prior Paganini disc.  It sounds a little too polite.  But I wonder if some of my reaction is due to the low mastering volume; if it were louder, I might have been more drawn into it.  But the volume is a quality that's hard to pinpoint.

Have to listen again

Funny, this talk about Bruckner's Sixth.  I'm now reading the September 2022 issue of BBC Music Magazine.  In the regular feature "Music to my ears: What the classical world has been listening to this month," under the "Critic's Choice" column, Michael Smith of Stamford wrote: "It was quite a canny move by the Proms controller to couple James MacMillan's Viola Concerto with Bruckner's Sixth - a perpetually underrated instrument and the composer's most unfairly overlooked symphony - in one concert by the BBC Philharmonic.  Let's hear it for the little guys!"
