Beethoven, Mendelssohn: Violin Concertos (Great Recordings of the Century)
Yehudi Menuhin, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Berliner Philharmoniker
Classical | EMI 1952-53 | APE | 430 Mb
Menuhin was a significant force in the rehabilitation of Furtwangler after the War - Furtwangler had often conducted for Hitler and the senior Nazis and his role was much questioned (it is still to some extent a matter of debate). Whether that fact, interesting as it is, has any bearing on these peformances or not, they are quite marvellous, particularly the Beethoven, combining on the part of both artistes a blend of firm control and an attractive improvisatory quality which is very very compelling, For its time the recording is excellent, fully enjoyable, and this fully justifies itself as a 'Great Recordings of the Century' release - very warmly recommended.
