1.Divertimenti [Hybrid SACD] [Includes Blu-Ray Disc] [Blu-ray] from: 2-L August 26, 2008

Tonal quality is first rate, especially through my Panasonic BD-50 blu ray player. By comparison even better than the SACD disc through my Linn Unidisk player. However, the surround mix (while very involving) places you in the middle of the orchestra, which I do not like. From the booklet it seems this was deliberate- I wonder why then 2L don't use this mixing in their other SACD's? Their normal 5.1 SACD's are also of prime quality (think BIS, Linn and HM quality) and make you feel in the second row which I prefer...

To say that I love this disc would be an understatement. I have probably listened to it 500 times. To comment on just a few of the tracks... The "Praeludium and Allegro" is definitely the best recording anyone (except maybe Kreisler!) has ever done. The praeludium, which is almost all quarter notes, is often just blindly sawed out. Midori treats each note individually. The allegro is also nice - not rushed at all. The staggeringly difficult Skryabin-Szigeti "Etude in Thirds" tossed off with impeccable technique and spotless intonation. Sarasate's "Habanera" sparkles with a decisive 'Spanish' flavor. Elgar's "Chanson de Matin" is just plain beautiful. Also nice are inclusions of some numbers not heard hardly ever, including Bacewicz's "Oberek #2" mazurka and the Shostakovich preludes. ...

7.Grazyna Bacewicz: Polish Capriccio; Works for Violin and Piano from: Chandos October 19, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $18.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $10.50
If I had not have read about Bacewicz in the Rough Guide I would never have heard about her. The music in this disc truly belongs in every classical lovers collection as part of the basic repertoire. According to the notes Bacewicz was a virtuostic player on violin and piano. All of these pieces are breathtaking showstoppers with a sweet lyricism that is always present and brought tears to my eyes. There is something so special about this music that I wish there were more of her works recorded.
