Perhaps the best recording in my collection. Kantorow is the Glenn Gould of Violin. If you like Glenn Gould, you will love this recording. Elisha JT said: I first heard of Jean-Jacques Kantorow from one of Glenn Gould's many essays, and I was terribly curious because Gould recommended him favorably as one of the most 'underrated violinist of our age.' He is more well-known in Europe than in the US, I believe. This recording was nothing but surprise for me, Kantorow really is a superb violinist and it is a shame that this is the only recording available at my college library. His intonations are perfect...a truly wonderful recording that I feel must be an addition to your archives.
