Description:

A reissue by Mark Obert-Thorne. While his performance evokes a sense of romance within its solid and powerful music, his collaboratorsincluding Horowitz and Piatigorskyare also superb. The Beethoven recordings are reissued from 45-rpm records, and the Brahms from LPs in good condition.If Milstein, Horowitz, and Piatigorsky had formed a trio, it would surely have been magnificent, but no one could have imagined them ever gathering together in a recording studio. On this Naxos reissue CD, you can hear the finest interpretation of Brahmss masterpiece, the Violin Sonata No. 3Mirsteins only collaboration with Horowitz and the sole recording of this piece. Brahms Double Concerto, recorded only once with Piatigorsky, is a powerful performance that benefits from the superb support of the Hungarian maestro, Reiner. The rarely available 1950s recording of Beethovens Spring Sonatare
