I have had a lot of pleasure out of the new Viktoria Mullova disc (Bach BWV 1002, Bartok solo sonata, Paganini Nel cor piĆ¹ non mi sento). Just think that it was recorded some 18 years ago and I never bought it or listened to it! None of the three works is a favourite of mine, yet I enjoy all three of them on this CD because of the playing: lots of variety of sound, lots of spirit, no languishing, no wallowing in beautiful sound. Thoroughly enjoyable.

I was sure that you´ll enjoy Viktoria!. Her Paganini's is just fantastic. Absolut command, a perfect sens of rythm and not a single weakness. Bartok is also splendid. And besides, the CD is already rare and most wanted. It ends on 50 pounds. I think this CD is one of the most important on violin in the last 20 years.
Cheers.
