A generous and unusual coupling of 'Hungarian' Romantic concertos, one rather more familiar than that by the composer of 'The Queen of Sheba' (1875). Goldmark's concerto premiered in Nuremberg, October 1878, pays tribute to Mendelssohn, Schumann and Spohr. Milstein demonstrates a purity of style, unmatched even by Perlman whilst the Philharmonia give us Wagnerian majesty. Among the many versions of Op .77, this 4th of five studio recordings by Milstein remains the most perfect, today restored to its original magnificence and clarity. As an encore, the Chaconne BWV1004.
“Intense performances, although the Brahms catches fire only when Milstein appears. He makes the Goldmark seem a more substantial work than it is.” BBC Music Magazine
