A very pleasant violin CD from the unknown (to me) Corey Cerovsek, which I bought mainly because of the repertoire (Wieniawski and Vieuxtemps). Cerovsek plays the second Wieniawski violin concerto (why not the less-recorded first?) and the fifth Vieuxtemps violin concerto (why not the fourth?) He also adds Wieniawski's Faust Fantasia. Truly excellent recording (Claves) and good support from the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra under Hannu Lintu.

It is strange that Cerovsek's playing on this CD made me think immediately of Nai-Yuan Hu, who has a very similar sound. Interesting that both Cervsek and Hu are Josef Gingold pupils; he obviously made an indelible impression on them  Both Cerovsek's disc, and an excellent Bruch-Goldmark disc from Hu, are dedicated to Josef Gingold. In this repertoire -- and also in Kreisler pieces -- there could be no better model.
