Music reviews of Aaron Rosand Plays Joachim, Hubay, Enesco, Ernst, Godard, Lehar, Ysaye, & Wieniawski

Music Review: Great Rosand As Usual
Rating: 5 Stars

Aaron Rosand has always been known as a specialist in the field of playing "long-forgotten"-type works for violin. His so-called "romantic" style, coupled with a large and radiant tone, have always made him a giant in my book, even though his recordings are nearly all done with minor orchestras and on the Vox label. I don't know why Deutsche Grammophon, RCA, or Philips never signed him...they were crazy not to.

On this 2-CD set, are four concertos and five showpieces. Of these, only one - the Wieniawski Polonaise #1, is even remotely known outside of the violinistic community. To say a minimum, his interpretation of the Joachim Concerto is amazing. This is one difficult piece, and Rosand plays it with all the lyric romanticism that the music encompasses. The first movement draws the listener in immediately, the slow movement is gorgeous, and the third movement sizzles. Ernst's F-sharp minor concerto was popular in the early years of the 20th century, and most of Leopold Auer's students played it. Its cousin concerto (the Wieniawski #1, also in F-sharp minor, but not included on this disc) is musically superior. Although Rosand plays it quite well, it isn't a very interesting piece - but who else has taken the time to record it? Not many. The Hubay concerto is also great - most people don't know just how large Hubay's contribution to the violin world was. He was a fine composer as well as violinist, and unfortunately his "Hejre Kati" (which Rosand plays fine here) is the only thing that really survives (he wrote a 'Carmen Fantasy' that was unfortunately lost to the bigger ones by Sarasate and Waxman.) The Lehar "Fantasy" is great - most will recognize the main theme of it as being the same melody used in the penultimate slow section of Sarasate's "Zigeunerweisen". Highly recommended, especially for those who like the off-the-beaten-track, less-often heard fiddlers like Rosand.

It's a real puzzle why a great violinist like Aaron Rosand has never had the major career he deserves. His misfortune benefits bargain hunters, as this wonderful collection of mostly obscure Romantic violin showpieces winds up on a super-bargain label. If this kind of music attracts your fancy, you will seldom, if ever, hear it played with more passion and flair, or better command of the instrument, than Rosand offers. The orchestra is distinctly second-rate, but it doesn't matter much in pieces where the focus is so firmly on the soloist. There's a lot of fun and some surprisingly good music (like the Joachim) in this set. --Leslie Gerber
