I was first drawn to the violin of Wolfgang Schneiderhan, when I heard his DG recording of Beethoven's only Violin Concerto, Op.66 in D major. It is one of the best performances of that piece by any violinist. Equally remarkable is this DG recording of Stravinsky's Violin Concerto in D, and the Shostakovich 10th Symphony, both under the baton of Karl Ancerl. The orchestras (Berliner & Czech Philharmonics) are clear, vibrant and balanced, and the engineering is not pushed, nor brittle. Don't miss this one. It's a treat.
