I have not heard this recording, but I read a review of it. Therefore, I shall quote the reviews in commenting. "When any violinist can exhort his instrument to sing and thunder, sigh and disclaim as incandescently as Aaron Rosand, he must be counted among the chosen few of his art." - The Los Angeles Times "Hearing these works played by Aaron Rosand is a musical experience not easy to forget. Rosand takes away the barriers between us and Bach. It makes the heart beat faster." Chicago Tribune David Perrine said: While other versions have their strong and weak points, this one is consistently good.
