Author: John Warrack
But prime comparisons will be with the two versions of the Richard Strauss concertos; and here I declare a continuing loyalty to Barry Tuckwell's performances. The recording comes up remarkably well, with a fair sense of balance and depth in the orchestra and a warm sound for the solo instrument. The new Philips version is slightly clearer in definition, but not to an extent that affects decisions between the solo performances. There is little enough to choose here, for Baumann is a very fine artist with a confident style of phrasing, a glowing technique and a handsome tone. Yet Tuckwell seems to me to have that extra ease which makes for the fluency the works need, especially the second of them. These are superlative performances of elegant, attractive pieces.'
