2200 BRAHMS BACH Brahms: Variations on a Theme by Paganini, Op. 35; Waltzes, Op. 39; Bach: Partita No. 2 in D minor for solo violin; Chaconne (transcribed for piano-left hand by Brahms) CRITICAL ACCLAIM: "...the Paganini Variations have the same sort of pyrotechnic feeling as the mono recording that brought Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli to everyone's attention ca. 1950. Tension there is plenty in this account, but it is sharply romanticized, full-toned and wholly successful in terms that are not likely to come back into fashion soon." --Fanfare "...Rodriguez' reading is nothing less than super-human. In fact his playing on the entire disc is that of a highly refined, thoroughly prepared artist, whose technique allows uncommon fluidity in fast passages, and whose sense of style and phrasing are absolutely right for the music." --Digital Audio |
