Music reviews of Bach, Vivaldi: Concerti for 2 Violins
Music Review: painfully romantic playing of baroque masterpieces
Rating: 2 Stars
One does not have to play on gut strings with no vibrato to give a decent performance of a baroque violin concerto. But when two performers as talented as Zuckerman and Stern make not a single concession to the stylistic necessities of early music, it becomes a painful listening experience. They slog through these pieces with wide, impassioned vibrato and huge sound, and it simply doesn't work. The tempi are slow, the orchestra is a bit sloppy, and the overall effect is like watching a hippo in a mud bath. Absolutely no stylistic integrity. Skip this one.
