Another new disc, but not new works, these are well explored in my Blog, the Saint-Saens work is represented here for the sixth time, and it's good to hear Cho-Liang Lin's interpretation of the work, i think on the whole Saint-Saens Violin Concerto 3 is underestimated if you look at the recordings of this work, sure it's a popular work for him, but it should be more popular than say the Mozart Concerto's, it really is a superb example of the lyrical genius of Saint-Saens, and full of great tunes also.
Cho-Liang Lin is Taiwanese [hmmm always thought he was South Korean], his is now 52, he recorded this disc back in 1982, this is a Japanese re-issue, the front cover is superb, not sure where it's of, looks European to me, nice sharp shot, lovely colours and sunshine, and the lettering has a certain flow to it, all round a great visual product.
The second movement is heavenly, a work of truly lyrical genius,.
Here's Silvia Markovici playing the second movement on YouTube.
