"There are times when Mutter sounds so luscious and over-the-top that you feel guilty liking her so much, but the love that she radiates has its roots firmly in the musical phrase, and in her joy in the work. The couplings are also marvelous, and so very intelligent".

"[The Janáček] is given a superb, heart-rending performance here by Josef Špaček backed by the deep understanding that Jiří Bělohlávek brings especially to the music of his native country. That is equally true of the Dvořák Concerto ... Špaček is a compelling protagonist here, with a richness and piquancy of timbre that contributes to an interpretation not merely of virtuosity and flair but also of expressiveness".

"Auf "Bohemian Tales" spielt Augustin Hadelich das Violinkonzert von Antonín Dvořák, dazu Kammermusik von Leoš Janáček und Josef Suk. Ausgestattet mit gleich zwei vorzüglichen Instrumenten sorgt der in den USA lebende deutsche Geiger mit dieser Aufnahme für einen Höhepunkt im Jahr der Violine".

"My only quibble is with Richard Tognetti's tone, which for all of his imaginative phrasing and boldness of conception sometimes isn't that attractive. I'm thinking particularly of his clipped and squeaky phrasing of the finale's main theme. Whether this matters terribly will be a matter of personal taste; there's no question that the use of a chamber orchestra provides ideal balances, and that the engineering is outstanding. So this is an almost perfect disc, and many listeners might well be willing to omit the "almost"".

"Let's get the bad news out of the way first or, to put it another away, my own sense of disappointment with the Dvořák ... Hahn and Orizco-Estrada seem to have been seduced into a post-pandemic lassitude so that the music's vitality, its folkloric rhythms and its energy have been smoothed over ... There have been a handful of previous recordings of Ginastera's fearsome, fascinating 1963 concerto ... From its opening five-minute cadenza this draws from soloist and conductor a much more focused and emotively cogent response than the Dvořák which, coupled with instrumental finesse, presents the concerto in the best possible light ... If you buy this reasonably well engineered disc it should be for the Ginastera and you'll get a somewhat unsuccessful, partial Dvořák as some kind of bonus".

"Vurdering: Recording of the month" - "If anything Josef Špaček, the young concertmaster of the Czech Philharmonic, makes an even more powerful impression than his illustrious predecessor [Josef Suk]. His is a full-blooded performance with the Czech Philharmonic under its music director with him all the way ... I have nothing but praise for these new performances ... [This] young violinist has embarked on what is a very promising career".

"Mutters driftssikkerhed og muskuløse udtrykskraft er stadig i særklasse. Hendes jernvilje skygger indimellem for Dvoráks drømmende sødme, men hun tøver nu heller ikke med at skifte karakter og temperament undervejs. Det gør violinkoncerten til små fortællinger, som man må høre igen".

"Selvom meningerne om den efterhånden 50-årige stjerneviolinist Anne-Sophie Mutter er delte ... er hun stadig en af verdens absolut førende musikere på sit instrument ... Her gælder det Dvorák. I en smuk ramme ... får vi nogle af den tjekkiske komponists mest yndede violinværker, først og fremmest violinkoncerten ... Skøn musik i mesterlig fortolkning".

"Det er svært ikke at blive fascineret af [Tetzlaff] og [hans] nye bud på det gamle, fordi [han] bliver ved med at lede efter endnu bedre veje gennem noderne. Og at det også lykkedes ... Tetzlaff er måske nok kendt som en mere nøgtern violinist ... men sådan er det ikke helt denne gang. Tetzlaff er en temperamentsfuld herre, der gerne åbner for posen og giver den et ordentligt tryk på gaspedalen. Men det er som regel i stadig slankt og usentimentalt ... Og så forspilder Tetzlaff lidt usædvanligt ikke chancen for at spille brillant virtuos".

"Mutter's playing is never less than dazzling ... Her approach is often highly interventionist ... In the slow movement there is magical ornamental playing, but at times rather exaggerated portamento".

"Rent faktisk står orkestret for de mest beåndede øjeblikke på denne udgivelse ... Som altid brillerer Mutter med en imponerende violinistisk power ... Men egentlig skønhed skal man lede længe efter, når Mutter går til makronerne, og hendes spil er i længden mere imponerende end bevægende".

"Tetzlaffs interpretatorische Handschrift ist markanter, profilierter geworden. Da tritt eine Expressivität hervor, die mit emotionalem Hochdruk immer wieder an Grenzen geht, verbunden zuweilen auch mit einer gewissen Tendenz zum Überzeichnen. Und man fragt sich manchmal, ob die Musik das noch braucht ... Kan man auch zu viel wollen mit Dvořák? ... Tetzlaff bringt sich auch hier voll ein [Suk], das Orchester unter Storgårds geht mit".

"Die US-Stargeigerin ... hat unter dem Titel "Eclipse" ... drei wichtige so gar nicht zusammenhängende Violinwerke mit Orchester eingespielt ... Hahn freilich nutzt die Gelegenheit, in Technicolor-Farben zu glänzen. Beim Dvořák verliert sie nie den Drive, definiert das Werk folgerichtig über den rhythmischen Impuls, erlaubt sich trotzdem einen schlanken, warmen Ton. Der Sarasate ist wilder, mutwilliger Kürlauf zum Finale. Vorher lässt sie bei Ginastera schon den Tiger aus dem Geigenkasten. Ihr gelingt in dessen ausschweifenden Kadenzen eine bockige Kratzbürstigkeit von eleganter, zum Hinhören treibender Art".

"Concerto choice: It is the Ginastera Concerto that is the real star item here ... Hahn hurls herself into the fray with scintillating abandon, matched by stunningly articulate and rhythmically beguiling playing from the Frankfurt Radio Symphony under Andrés Orozco-Estrada".

"Augustin Hadelich ist ein brillanter Geiger und ein schnörkellos ehrlich gestaltender Musiker von Format.Wie perfekt und vor allem auch intonationsrein er den Solopart des technisch immer wieder heiklen Dvorák-Violinkonzertes meistert, das ist beeindruckend. Klarheit der Linienführung, Spannung und Intensität von der ersten bis zur letzten Note prägen diese Interpretation. Das ist hoch kultiviertes Musizieren ... Mit Leoš Janáčeks ekstatischer Violinsonate und den Vier Stücken op. 17 von Josef Suk, der Dvoráks Schwiegersohn und Schüler war, setzen Augustin Hadelich und sein britischer Klavierpartner Charles Owen markante Akzente in zwei divergenten und hoch expressiven Meisterwerken der tschechischen Violinliteratur".

"This wll-filled disc has much to offer. Augustin Hadelich's way with Dvořák's concerto is highly expressive and flawless in attention to details of articulation ... Jakub Hrúša and the orchestra are exemplary accompanists providing a wealth of ear-cathing instrumental detail. While enjoyable from many points of view this performance does not measure up to Isabelle Faust's superb recording on Harmonia Mundi. Full throated in tone and impassioned throughout, Hadelich's performance of the Janáček Violin Sonata, expertly accompanied by Charles Owen, is entirely captivating".

"It would be churlish not to welcome these, yet the impression remains that Mutter has studied the score so minutely that she can no longer be relied upon to see the wood from the trees ... As you would expect, there is some stunning playing. The high-lying solo writing ... is dispatched with incomparable courage and fire ... Go back to the simple linearity [classic 1960 recording] ... and you'll find charm, songfulness and intimacy, qualities absent from the present issue".

"In partnership with Katya Apekisheva, Liebeck creates an impression of live performances; their accounts of the Sonata and Sonatina have an air of happy spontaneity, with the two of them listening intently and responding to each other as they play".

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "That opulence makes her playing of the heartfelt melody in the slow movement of Dvorák's Violin Concerto winningly rich ... This may generally be an elusive work but this is a performance that carries total conviction, an admirable - and currently unique - coupling for the Dvorak items".

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "With Suk's seductive earlier recording ringing in our ears even after many decades, any newcomer has to deliver with expressive generosity, which Tetzlaff does, his approach, as in hte other works included here, individual but utterly opersuasive, Excellent, full-bodied sound. A disc to prize".

"Tre mycket olika verk, Antonin Dvoraks och Alberto Ginasteras violinkonserter tillsammans med Pable de Sarasates Carmen-fantasi ryms på detta Hilary Hahn-album med Frankfurts radiosymfoniker ... Det är Ginasteras konsert från 1963 som är huvudnumret. Det är svårt att tänka sig en lämpligare solist än Hahn att ta sig an detta svårbemästrade och sällan spelade verk ... Som väntat betvingar Hahn de virtuosa utmaningarna, men musiken är så mycket mer än ett tekniskt bravurnummer - en originell violinkonsert med ett trollbindande tonspråk som söker sin like".

"This is a boldly imaginative gathering of Czech works for solo violin and orchestra ... many will warm to Spacek's soft-grained tone, especially in the slow movement; the finale, while flawless in tone, doesn't really sweep the listener away".

"The young Joseph Špaček reminded me more both of his great forebear Josef Suk and, at times of David Oistrakh. It's mostly to do with the firm cut of his bowing, the clarity of his articulation and the sureness of his rhythmic attack. His tone is sweetly expressive but he varies it according to the dictates of the passing musical phrase ... Viewed as a whole, Spacek's programme takes us on a stimulating 66-minute journey ... and it is certainly one I'll want to take again - fairly soon at that".

"Editor's choice: How warmly his dolce playing seems to smile ... Note, too, the way Hadelich suggests a wiry-sounding folk fiddle in the finale's D minor interlude ... Jakub Hrůša has the Bavarian RSO playing with vigour and a comparable sense of care ... Hadelich and his longtime recital partner Charles Owen transform the last of Dvořák's Four Romantic Pieces, Op 75, into an aching, darkly passionate miniature tone-painting ... A superb disc on all counts".
