Sad - that Palmgren's lovely "Springdream" is so short... The sweet beauty and performance of Joachim's Second Movement is to-weep-for. What a valuable uploading. "centeravenue"'s comments, below, say it all!
Listeners unfamiliar with this unfamiliar work should recognize its phenomenal technical difficulties (bordering on the impossible), their strenuous demands on the soloist, and remain cognizant that the greatest violinist of his day composed it for himself. That Rosand undertook to master the complex writing and did so compellingly makes this a treasured recording.
