Yehudi Menuhin, Violin
These two indisputable classics of the gramophone, now sounding fresher than ever in Andrew Walter’s new remasterings, make an irresistible mid-price pairing. Menuhin’s recent death lends even more poignancy to an unforgettable reading of the concerto which many understandably count the finest ever. Similarly, Elgar’s stupendous 1926 Enigma beams with personality and fantasy.'
