Joseph Joachim ; Jenö Hubay Violin concertos (1993)

"Aaron Rosand is a captivating artist, with a beguiling tone. He possesses technique in abundance, but in the heat of battle he will invariably maintain his composure, preferring elegance to overextending one's technique. Vox has done a fine CD mastering job. The extensive liner notes are quite good." (Robert Sullivan, Classical.net) "Joachim, the dedicatee of the Brahms concerto, wrote the big-boned Hungarian concerto (second of three). It is a work alive with romantic character. Rosand plays it stunningly, taken up as much in the flowing quicksilver as the étincellante fireworks. He nicely catches the strutting stiff-necked gypsiness of the central movement complete with the echoes of Brahms Violin Concerto and the Hungarian Dances. This is far from being a vapid exercise. The Hubay concerto is more substantial with some truly delectable writing as at 2.40 in I and a Berliozian scamper (Symphonie Fantastique) in the scherzo, a haunted adagio and a slashing and ripping finale." (Rob Barnett, Musicweb Int.)
