Salvatore Accardo, Audiophile Violin. This LP is about music, more precisely, the impressive work of the greatest living exponent of the Italian violin tradition, Salvatore Accardo. Produced and recorded by Giulio Cesare Ricci, who has put together a varied program from millennium shots by the old masters: The Beethoven Romance No. 2 with the Accardo-founded and led Orchestra da Camera Italiana starts off Side 1 with a convincing and moving performance. Pablo de Sarasate’s “Carmen Fantasy” for Accardo is a home game, so to speak; only a few are likely to be as familiar with this virtuoso pinnacle of literature.
As a master of the “encore piece,” Accardo proves himself with the miniatures: A paraphrase of George Gershwin’s “Summertime” and “A Woman Is A Sometime Thing” and Fritz Kreisler’s “Schon Rosmarin.” A stirring interpretation of the Presto movement of the “Kreutzer Sonata” follows, and then the circle closes back to Beethoven. A successful portrait of a great instrumental artist! Limited to 496 copies.
