Description:

Ida Handel's complete first-ever concerto studio recording! Schumann's concerto is the first time the repertoire has been released! A complete first-ever broadcast studio recording by the too-beautiful virtuoso Ida Handel. Dvorak is a masterpiece, but it is a repertoire that has been surprisingly under-discovered. Ida Handel is a master at Dvorak and has performed it live with Müller-Kreis, but this time she is backed by Leitner, so the "class" of the recording is different. The orchestra is pure Brahmsian, austere, and full of dignity, and Ida Handel is brilliant as she is entwined with the orchestra in a glamorous and uninhibited manner. It is a delightful and melodious masterpiece that makes you want to hum along. A hidden masterpiece is Schumann's Violin Concerto. When this piece, which had been ignored for 80 years after Schumann's death, was unearthed in 1937, it was given its world premiere by the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Kuhlenkamp + Böhm, a credit to Nazi Germany. However, it did not become a popular concerto after that, but as you know, it has been reevaluated in recent years and has been restored to the important repertoire. Ida Haendel's expression is also lyrically inclined, and she gives a masterful performance, even showing some poignant weeping passages. She captures Schumann's madness and flight. The young Maazel's accompaniment is humble or rather, neat. As in the Bach performances of his youth, he is full of respect for the composer.With liner notes in English, Japanese and German Tobu Land System
