Very pleasant CD of solo violin music played by Carmelo Andriani [never heard of him]. There are so many excellent violinists roaming around; this CD appears to be a private or limited issue, not from a major company. Andriani varies his sound in his well-chosen programme: the fourth solo sonata by Ysaÿe, the Paganiniana by Milstein, Prokofiev's sonata for solo violin, Kreisler's Recitativo & Scherzo, and a clever pastiche of Bach solo violin themes in a "Hommmage to Bach" by Orazio Maglio. Good programme, very well played.

Which label is this? For Milstein's Paganiniana - I like Kremer's DG version best.
Label unknown. It may be a semi-private release.
As for Kremer: ANYTHING Kremer plays has me jumping out of the window. I just HATE his scrawny sound. No wonder he now confines himself to playing music no one else wants to play.
