He is years ahead of me." Thus spoke the Hungarian violinist & composer Joseph Joachim of his colleague Johannes Brahms, who was his junior by 2 years. Joachim & Brahms had met each other in Hanover in 1853, & from that moment onwards they became inseparable. SA-CD.net review: I have only listened to the Mch layer. It put me in a centre seat about 7 to 10 rows back in the hall. The sound on this sacd is wonderful! You are there! You are there in a way that could never be possible in mere 2ch. This is not the perfect PentaTone recording, there have been better, more lucid in orchestral tuttis. But this is very very good, well beyond the average SACD, & far beyond any rbcd. I say: 6 stars for the Violin concerto, 5 for the Double! 4.5 for the sound. But I feel a little churlish taking off a half star because PentaTone have not exactly matched their own very best here.
