More David Nadien. His recording of the Bruch G minor concerto (1973, Hungary) is quite jaw-dropping. An enormous pity that the recording and transfers are both so inadequate; at times Nadien's violin sounds as if it is made of stainless steel. What a major tragedy that Nadien didn't make professional recordings; he really was a violinist of major significance.

His playing sounds great, Harry. Rhapsodic in places, a bit rigid in others (I'd do those spots differently from him) but all in all, a marvellous experience for me. Thank you.
