Szigeti plays Beethoven

Beethoven VIOLIN CONCERTO* Joseph Szigeti, violin
London Symphony / Antal Doráti

VIOLIN SONATA NO 3 Joseph Szigeti, violin Claudio Arrau, piano

“…His many admirers will welcome his long overdue recording by Szigeti of the Beethoven Violin Concerto. The playing is brilliant, intelligent and filled with the hundred little subleties and nuances which are the stamp of any of his performances. A welcome addition to the catalog of one of the finest violinists…” BILLBOARD, 4 July 1964

“…both Szigeti and Arrau are formidable virtuosos…intent on conveying the spiritual qualities of the music with maximum

strength…[this is,] to my mind, the ‘standard’ edition’, as basic to any record collection as the great Schnabel set of the Beethoven Piano Sonatas. At Vanguard’s special price of $11.90 it is, moreover, an irresistable bargain…

Harris Goldsmith, HIGH FIDELITY, MAY 1964

“… “There is much to be gotten from this essentially introspective reading [of the Concerto], particularly from those details of violin phrasing that are a Szigeti speciality, and one cannot help admiring the soloist’s interpretation and the beautifully played orchestral accompaniment [under Doráti]…” STEREO REVIEW, April 1965
