5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!

This CD has the finest recordings of classic concerts titled "Romance". The Orchestra and conductor, I　would dare to say, are just at their best time in their music career when recorded. It is just soooo lively romantic!!!! It is such a disappointment that the producer of this CD has ceased production any more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works For Violin And Orchestra Not Often Played
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2010
Pinchas Zukerman is by far one of the great violinists of our time, having performed a large portion of the world's most popular works for his instrument, be they sonatas or orchestral concertos. Equally significant, however, he also served as the very respected music director for the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra from 1980 to 1987, and led this ensemble, one of the finest of its kind anywhere in America, with extreme distinction. And on this recording, he serves as both soloist and conductor, doing works for violin and orchestra that are only one movement in length, and are not necessarily played every day of the week.

The two Romances (in G Major, Op. 40, and F Major, Op. 50) for violin and orchestra by Beethoven were composed prior to the composer starting work on what would become the Mount Everest of the violin concerto repertoire, his D Major concerto. Short in nature and smaller in structure than their much larger companion yet to come, they were nevertheless very indicative of a composer very much seizing command of his musical powers, even as he continued to wage a losing battle with his deafness. Dvorak's Romance In F Minor, which was actually a reworking of the second movement of a string quartet that he composed in 1873, presages his A Minor concerto by two years and, despite the somber nature of its minor key, is a lush work of incredible beauty. Finally, there are the three works by Franz Schubert that were about as close as he ever came to composing full-blown concertos for the violin: the Polonaise In B Flat; the Rondo In A Major; and the Beethoven-influenced Konzerstuck In D Major, all three of which Schubert composed between 1816 and 1818.

All six works are given excellent performances on this Philips recording by Zukerman, who excels masterfully in his dual role as violin soloist and conductor, with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra displaying why it is one of the great chamber orchestras not only in America but in the world at large. The Beethoven and Dvorak pieces are superbly performed, but it is the three Schubert works that are of great importance here, since, like so many of that composer's orchestral works, they didn't become really all that well known to music audiences until the 1970s. As such, it is a pity that Schubert didn't live long enough to compose a robust three-movement concerto like his mentor Beethoven had, but the three pieces of his on display here certainly give an indication of his abilities.

For anyone who wants to explore beyond the concerto arena into the many shorter works for violin and orchestra, this recording is as good a place to start as any.
