A short record in praise of Liza Ferschtman. I am re-listening to her CDs before refiling and, I must say, she is my kind of girl. Plenty of variation in dynamics, colour and vibrato, unlike so many "beautiful" violinists. I hope she records more things -- preferably some out-of-the-way music rather than the inevitable Beethoven, Brahms, Bruch, Sibelius, Mendelssohn. She could probably do Shostakovich's music well. Sometimes, it's good to have so many records, when you can reach up and lift someone of the caliber of Ferschtman off the shelf.
