Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 4 & 5 - Vänskä        (1 of 9 found this review helpful)
  June 16, 2005

Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto, Symphony No. 3 - Swensen        (2 of 12 found this review helpful)

Of Köln Concerto I have, in DG, Wilms 6° and 7° Symphonies, excellent dynamic for a small orchestra _ but they has 3 trombones, which do not have Scottish Chamber Orchestra, I dunno if the comparison is judicious... ... more

By the way, did you notice as it is difficult to find CD with the two concertos for violin of Mendelssohn? Many offers only one of this concertos, coupled with that of Beethoven, Brahms, or Bruch _ a concerto for suicidal neurasthenic, this last. Annoying, is not it? ... more

I receive this SACD today and am a lil' disappointed: admittedly there is no parasite breath or noise, but I find, the sounds of the instruments are not distinguished individually, and the total sound misses energy and contrasts. Regrettable because the program, indeed, was tempting... do you have heard this recording? What do you think of it? ... more
