5 out of 5 stars Classic Concerto Collections.......2003-06-18

Both Volumes "The Early Concerto Recordings" from the Isaac Stern Collection are absolutely brilliant. If these recordings were released today by Sony there would be two concertos per disc, they would come in some lavish original jacket packaging, and cost a small fortune. As is (they were released by CBS in 1990), they are packaged as two three-CD sets at a mid-line price. Granted the product is without a lot of bells and whistles, though Stern's anecdotes in the liner notes about the recordings are insightful and enjoyable, but who needs added fluff when the music is this good.

The concertos, recorded in the mid-to-late 1940s and early-to-mid 1950s, are either in high quality mono or early golden age stereo. On Volume Two the recording dates are as follows: Lalo 1956, Bruch 1956, Saraste 1946, Sibelius 1951, Bernstein 1956, Saint-Saens 1957, Prokofiev No. 1 1958, Prokofiev No. 2 1957, and Wienawski 1946. (Please note that a few of these very same performances appear in the "Isaac Stern-A Life in Music" series.) Though Stern later re-recorded many of these concertos, it is delightful to hear these earlier versions when he was still establishing himself as one of the world's great violinists. Those looking for a definitive disc of a given concerto may want to start with titles in his "A Life in Music" series, but for Stern-lovers out there (like me), these discs are pure gold.

5 out of 5 stars Clochette!!.......2006-11-01

This is a superb recording of a pianist who deserves wider acclaim. The fact that he even played the Clochette Fantasy at all (it is horribly hard to play) is admirable, let alone played it beautifully. No, this recording is not note-perfect, but it doesn't matter at all. There is real music here.

5 out of 5 stars More from THE MAN.......2004-09-09

My initial intention was to review this one back when I reviewed Volume 1, but for whatever reason, I didn't get around to it.

I feel like my review of Volume 1 is a good one, and it is more-or-less interchangeable for this disc also. Hrant was a genius, pure and simple. Again, these are (at least seemingly) recordings from the 1920s - 1950s and display a level of touch, tone, instrumental prowess and emotion that is amazing. This guy was a gift to the oud and to all of us lucky enough to have found him.

One of the main differences between this and Volume 1 is that around the middle of that disc there is a handful of lysergic violin tracks, whereas on this disc there is a handful of orchestral tracks with Hrant on oud. Very nice either way, just different.

It's your call as to which disc to purchase, as they are both excellent and if you're anything like me, you'll find that you must own both of them anyway. I feel like much of what I'd say about this disc would be gushing similar to my review of Volume One, just in a slightly different way or about different track numbers, so if you'd like to read my review for Volume One since it is longer and more in-depth, feel free, as it works for this great disc as well.
